Former NFL and reality TV star Kroy Biermann is being sued for $52.5K in gambling debt he allegedly accrued at the Baha Mar Casino in the Bahamas.
Sky Warrior, the company that apparently handles the credit lines for Baha Mar, claims it extended the former Atlanta Falcons outside linebacker $100K to gamble there in November 2021. It claims that Biermann drew $52.5K in chip markers but never repaid the amount as promised, according to the suit, which was first reported by TMZ.
Sky Warrior, which claims they are unable to reach Biermann or retrieve the money from his bank account, also seeks to recoup interest and attorney’s fees.
Baha Mar is a 1,000-acre resort on the Bahamian island of New Providence. Owned by Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, it opened in April 2017 with 100K square feet of gaming space.
The Game is Up
Problem gambling is an overriding theme in Biermann’s ugly divorce from his estranged wife, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kim Zolciak. In documents obtained and reported on by Radar Online, Biermann, 37, accused Zolciak, 45, of “spending substantial time and marital funds on gambling and other games of chance” and asked the court to force her to submit to psychological evaluation.
The unhappy couple starred together in “Don’t Be Tardy,” a Bravo TV show chronicling their dysfunctional relationship that ran from 2012 to 2019. In Season 3, Zolciak admitted: “I took a really big hit in the Bahamas last time I went … like quarter of a million dollars. A lot of money. Yeah, crazy, and I never went back.”
The pair separately filed for divorce in May 2023, after 11 years of marriage. Both seek sole physical custody of their four pre-teen children.
Biermann and Zolciak also allegedly owe the IRS more than $1 million, according to TMZ, and he’s also being sued for allegedly missing lease payments on a Rolls Royce.
