Brielle Biermann in Trouble with AmEx for Not Paying Her Credit Card

Brielle Biermann is in hot water with American Express over unpaid credit card bills. The credit card company filed a lawsuit against the reality TV star and influencer in July 2021 alleging she owed $12,870.25 on her AmEx account.
Who is Brielle Biermann?
Brielle is the 24-year-old daughter of Kim Zolciak-Biermann who starred on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Brielle appeared on her mom shows from age 10 and is now a social media star boasting over 1M Instagram followers. She has launched beauty products with her mom and sister and frequently shares her lavish lifestyle online.
Lawsuit Details
Brielle opened an AmEx card in Sep 2018 and agreed to pay her balance in full each month according to the lawsuit filed in Georgia. But she allegedly stopped making full payments in March 2020 and ignored repeated demands from AmEx to pay off the accumulating debt.
Brielle Response
Brielle denied the claims in the suit and asked for it to be dismissed. She insisted she did not incur or authorize the charges. Her rep also said she paid off her card balance in full before the lawsuit and was unaware of any legal action until reported by media.
Impact on Family
The lawsuit amplifies existing financial issues and divorce whispers surrounding Kim Zolciak, Brielle's mom and stepdad Kroy Biermann. The couple has long faced money woes from lavish spending, lawsuits, tax debts, mortgage defaults and canceled shows.
Rumors of marital strife have also swirled for years due to arguments, cheating accusations, separate lives and more. They have denied split rumors and claim they are happily married.
But Brielle legal trouble stands to worsen their problems by
- Forcing them to pay more for legal fees and settlement costs
- Causing loss of income and assets
- Sparking more fights over money and responsibility
- Eroding trust and respect
- Making them look irresponsible publicly
Potential Consequences
Brielle will have to pay the debt, interest and fees hurting her credit and reputation if she loses. Settling could also be costly. But if she wins, she can avoid payment and proves she did nothing wrong. Her family would also face less money stress and public scrutiny.
How Can Brielle Resolve This?
- Communicate with AmEx to reach an agreement
- Provide evidence refuting the claims
- Hire a lawyer to advise and represent her
- Learn financial skills like budgeting and saving
- Reduce spending on wants
- Use cash/debit instead of credit
- Pay bills on time
- Find ways to earn more income
Doing so would help her avoid payment, protect her finances and relieve family stress.
