Ariana Biermann is keeping it real about her beauty marks.
Indeed, the Next Gen NYC star revealed that her mom Kim Zolciak, 47, forcibly removed her freckles when she was 14—and she didn’t hold back her thoughts on losing the unique spots.
“My mom sent me to get a facial,” Ariana, 22, explained in her Oct. 8 Instagram video while doing her full glam. “And my friend was like, ‘Girl, where are your freckles going?’ I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ The facialist goes like, ‘Your mom told me that you didn’t like them and you wanted me to remove them with the facial. I’ve been lasering them off.’”
This revelation shocked Ariana at the time, as she never told the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum—who also shares kids Brielle, 28, Kroy Jr., 14, Kash, 12, and 11-year-old twins Kaia and Kane with her estranged husband Kroy Biermann—that she wanted her freckles to disappear.
“I was like, ‘What?! I love my freckles,’” she continued, adding that the loss inspired a new step in her makeup routine. “I have some on one side of my face more than the other, but still, it’s just not a lot. So now, I put them on.”
The influencer noted that she later mentioned the situation to Kim, who “started laughing” at her daughter’s reaction over the phone.
“Like, you’re a jackass,” Ariana said. “Now I add them on to my face because I don’t have them anymore. I didn’t want them removed. I miss my freckles. Mom, I love you [but that’s] insane.”
And true to her physical reaction, the “Don’t Be Tardy” singer also left several laughing emojis in the comments section of the post.
This isn’t the first time Ariana has detailed her layered relationship with her mom. In fact, the Adored Angels founder alleged that Kim used her money that she made as a teen amid her years-long divorce from Kroy.
“I got my first brand deal when I was 14,” Ariana detailed on Next Gen NYC in June. “I was doing three posts a week and you get paid astronomical to do a story or to do an Instagram post and I made quite a bit of money. But unfortunately, my parents took my money. I can’t say exactly what they used it on, because I just found out that it was gone two years ago.”
However, Kim later confirmed that she didn’t borrow her daughter’s finances for frivolous reasons.
“Ariana’s money was spent on bills, to be honest,” she told Andy Cohen during the July 31 episode of Watch What Happens Live. “I was left holding the bag for the family. The money I borrowed from Ariana, I paid her back—for the bills and stuff. And as far as what she’s made? I don’t have the spreadsheets, but she will be [paid back].
