“Kim and Brielle negotiated more money and they got a raise,” the insider said.
As for Kim’s husband, Kroy Biermann, he also received an income boost after becoming an executive producer of his family’s reality show.
“While Kroy was playing football, he didn’t want or need to be paid much by the show. After he was out of the NFL he renegotiated his deal to become an executive producer and he got the same deal for Kim,” the source explained. “That way they can get more money from Bravo and the production company.”
Don’t Be Tardy is expected to return to Bravo TV in the coming months for season seven.
