Kim Zolciak breaks cover after 15-year-old son KJ’s sexual assault arrest
Warning: This story contains graphic details.
Kim Zolciak was spotted for the first time since news broke of her 15-year-old son Kroy “KJ” Jagger Biermann Jr.'s sexual assault arrest .
The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum drove her Range Rover through Alpharetta, Georgia, on Sunday, two days after the teen's detainment made headlines.
The Bravolebrity, 48, was behind the wheel of her vehicle and appeared to be solo.
Zolciak's expression could not be seen as she shaded her face with the car's sun visor.
KJ was taken into custody in May for aggravated sodomy (a forceful sex act involving the mouth or anus) and aggravated sexual battery.
Page Six confirmed Friday that he is being held without bond and a hearing is scheduled for Sept. 1.
The alleged assault took place at a Life Time fitness center on April 23, with the alleged female victim accusing her classmate of forcing oral sex and digitally penetrating her vagina, per court docs filed in Fulton County Juvenile Court.
The 15-year-old told her parents about the alleged attack the following day and was examined at the North Fulton hospital in Georgia.
Zolciak vehemently maintained her and estranged husband Kroy Biermann's son's innocence in a statement Friday, calling the claims against him "reckless and deeply troubling."
"He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged," the ex-reality star wrote. "My son voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed. Additionally, an examination was conducted, and no DNA belonging to my son was found."
She claimed the alleged victim has "made similar allegations involving two other people' — and railed against the “devastating consequences” of "false accusations."
“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,” she concluded. “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.”
Biermann, who has yet to speak out about KJ's legal troubles, was also spotted over the weekend , picking up son Kash, 14, from football practice.
KJ’s lawyer, Jason Sheffield, insisted to Page Six on Friday that his client is "100 percent innocent."
The attorney reiterated Zolciak's claims about the polygraph test and allegedly false former allegations before concluding, "The fact that he’s been arrested and is being held without bond is a tragedy.
“He is not only presumed innocent, but is, in fact, innocent. I’m asking the public not to presume the truth of these allegations and to give the families on both sides their space and privacy."
