Brielle Biermann is proceeding with her November wedding to Billy Seidl despite her brother KJ’s ongoing legal troubles.
The 29-year-old daughter of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kim Zolciak, 48, and former NFL player Kroy Biermann, 40, has kept quiet about specific celebration details. Multiple sources confirmed the nuptials remain scheduled for this fall, with one saying exclusively, “The wedding is taking place this year in November.”
“Despite everything going on with the family,” the source continued, “it is still happening.”
Brielle became engaged to baseball player Seidl in February 2024, months before KJ, 15, landed at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center. The teen was arrested Aug. 17 on felony charges of aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery stemming from an alleged April 23 incident at a fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia.
Court documents detailed claims that KJ attempted “multiple times to have sexual intercourse” with a female classmate “by trying to pull down her pants,” despite her repeatedly telling him “no.”
A grand jury indicted KJ on seven felony counts Sept. 3, including aggravated child molestation, three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a child under 16, and false imprisonment. Prosecutors are pursuing the case in adult court, where conviction carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years up to life in prison.
Zolciak has publicly defended her son since his arrest. Her representative issued a statement saying, “The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling. He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged.”
The reality star additionally claimed KJ passed a voluntary polygraph test and that “no DNA belonging to [her] son was found,” warning that “false accusations” can have “devastating consequences” for the accused as well as “for genuine survivors of sexual assault and abuse,” Zolciak said she “remain[s] confident that the facts and evidence will establish the truth.”
Kroy has not publicly addressed his son’s arrest or charges, though both parents have been spotted appearing “stressed” and “somber.”
KJ’s attorney, Jason Sheffield, filed a Sept. 8 motion to transfer the case to juvenile court and requested “confidentiality proceedings.” In the filing, Sheffield argued KJ was too immature for adult charges, writing, “At fifteen, KJ’s story is not finished,” He added that KJ “is an adolescent whose development is ongoing” and “whose future cannot reliably be predicted merely from the labels attached to the allegations against him.”
Sheffield previously said he expects KJ to “enter a not guilty plea to all charges” at his Oct. 14 arraignment. A bond hearing was scheduled for Friday following the Sept. 3 indictment, which caused a previous court appearance to be cancelled.
KJ has maintained his innocence and petitioned for release, citing good character, strong academics, football achievements and scholarship offers.
