The allegations are connected to an alleged incident at a gym in Alpharetta back in April. He was arrested on Aug. 17.
Biermann is the son of former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kim Zolciak and former Atlanta Falcons player Kroy Biermann.
“The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling,” Zolciak told Page Six in a statement on Friday. “He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged.”
“Additionally, an examination was conducted, and no DNA belonging to my son was found,” the statement continued. She claimed, “We are also aware that this individual has made similar allegations involving two other people, which raises serious concerns that deserve to be carefully examined.”
“Every legitimate allegation deserves to be taken seriously and investigated based on the facts and evidence. At the same time, no one should be publicly condemned based solely on an accusation,” Zolciak wrote. “We remain confident that the facts and evidence will establish the truth, and we ask that people allow the proper process to take its course rather than spreading unproven allegations.”
