Brandi Glanville is speaking out about a sensitive topic involving Kim Zolciak’s teenage son. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star admits she has mixed feelings about discussing the situation publicly. Still, she explained why the allegations struck a personal nerve. She said her experience as a mother of boys shaped her reaction.
Brandi Glanville said the allegations struck a nerve because she is raising sons herself
Brandi addressed the controversy surrounding Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr. on her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast, according to TMZ. Normally, she said, she thinks that underage children should not be dragged into public conversations when their parents are on reality television. However, this particular case felt personal to her as a mother. Brandi said she could not ignore her own thoughts about raising boys and teaching them about consent.
The reality star explained that she made consent a major lesson for her sons while they were growing up. She said she taught them they could not hold hands, kiss or hug a girl without first asking permission. Brandi’s comments reflected the importance she places on teaching boundaries at an early age. However, she also recognized that discussing KJ publicly went against her usual beliefs.
“I’m realizing I’m a hypocrite, because I’m saying we shouldn’t talk about kids that are underage, but I’m sitting here talking about it,” Brandi said. She openly acknowledged the contradiction in her own comments during the podcast. Her admission came as she discussed the difficult balance between protecting minors and reacting to serious allegations. It was reported that Brandi said the situation affected her deeply because she is raising sons herself.
Earlier this month, authorities arrested Kroy Biermann Jr.and charged him with aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery. The outlet reports he was accused by a female classmate of sexually assaulting her in a gym changing room. Kim has strongly denied the allegations on her son’s behalf and said he “categorically denies” the alleged conduct. She also told the outlet that he passed a polygraph examination, while TMZ reported that KJ remains in jail without bond.
