Amid his contentious divorce from Kim Zolciak, Kroy Biermann wrote a cryptic post about “domestic violence” and “gaslighting,” as he recalled when “death” began to “sound like peace” and shared what got him through it.
Since filing for divorce in 2023, Kroy has gone back and forth with Kim in the press. For a time, the Don’t Be Tardy exes lived in the same house amid their separation. Cops were called on more than one occasion, though both sides have shared their own version of events. Back in August, he claimed in a court filing that Kim was psychologically and emotionally abusive.
On October 9, Kroy wrote a cryptic post on Instagram.
“I’ve wrestled with this post for days, trying to find the words to communicate the weight and complexity of what I’ve lived through,” wrote the star. “How do you put years of confusion, pain, and survival into a few paragraphs? How do you explain what it’s like to be trapped in something that looks like love but feels like you’re slowly being ripped apart? There was a time I didn’t think I’d make it. The pain was so constant, the confusion, the isolation, the gaslighting.”
“It felt like my soul was caving in,” he continued. “I was trapped in deliberately orchestrated chaos, yet somehow I was the one blamed for the storm. Every word I said was twisted. Every effort I made was never enough. And eventually, I started to believe, maybe I was the problem. There were nights I prayed for it all to just stop, even if that meant I stopped.”
Kroy shared that “death” began to “sound like peace.”
“God met me in that darkness,” Kroy added. “When I didn’t have the strength to fight for myself, He fought for me. He reminded me that my life still had purpose, that my story wasn’t over. And in the middle of all the pain and abuse, I heard His whisper: ‘You are mine. You are not what they said about you.’”
“I’m still healing. I still have scars. But I’m here, and I’m proud I stayed. Because staying doesn’t mean staying in the abuse,” he said. “It means staying alive. Staying faithful. Staying open to what God can do with your pain. You are not alone. You are not too broken. You are not forgotten. God’s not done with your story.”
Kroy included the hashtags, “#DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth,” “#SuicideAwareness,” and “#HopeAfterAbuse.”
