Trust Fund Scandal: Kim Zolciak Caught in $100M Divorce Crossfire

When you think your own divorce drama is intense, sometimes you get dragged into someone else’s. That’s exactly what happened to former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, who found herself at the center of a messy $100 million divorce battle between Georgia businessman Kyle Mowitz and his estranged wife, Jillian Green.

Here’s where it gets tangled: In September 2025, Green’s legal team subpoenaed Zolciak to testify about any gifts, loans, or financial dealings she may have had with Mowitz. They served her with the subpoena at a high school parking lot, and they wanted everything—communication records, details about any money or gifts Mowitz allegedly provided, even information about vacations together. The requests were sweeping enough that Zolciak’s attorneys fired back, calling them unreasonable, oppressive, and intended to embarrass her.

Mowitz’s lawyer countered that any relationship between his client and Zolciak-Biermann only began after he and Green separated, so her involvement in the case was unnecessary. But by May 2026, newly filed court documents revealed why Green’s team was pushing so hard: they claimed Mowitz had been using a family trust—worth at least $100 million that only he controlled—to fund an extraordinarily lavish lifestyle for himself, Zolciak, and even her children. The docs detailed expensive Bahamas resort stays, tens of thousands in dining and gambling, cases of fine wines totaling six figures, and multiple dinners costing thousands each.

The heart of the dispute centers on that family trust. Green alleges her husband created it in 2021 while having an affair and contemplating divorce, essentially funneling their marital assets away from her reach. Mowitz, for his part, claims Green was the one who committed infidelity and that her accusations about the trust are baseless. Both deny wrongdoing. Meanwhile, Green is asking the court for $640,000 in legal fees already incurred, plus another $250,000 she expects to spend if the case reaches trial.

What makes this particularly messy is the timing: all of this unfolded while Zolciak was battling her own contentious divorce from former NFL star Kroy Biermann over custody of their four children together. So here she was, managing her own legal nightmare while being dragged into someone else’s. As of October 2025, the judge hadn’t ruled on whether she’d have to comply with Green’s deposition requests. But the May 2026 filing showed the case had only gotten more complicated—and the accusations more specific—since that subpoena was served in a parking lot.
