Because of her “jacka–” mother, Ariana Biermann now has to add artificial freckles to her face. Though she still has a few freckles, she hasn’t had her full face of them since she was 14 years old because her mom, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak, had them lasered off without her consent.
In a video, Ariana detailed the horrifying story of how her freckles suddenly “disappeared.” On the day it happened, she thought her mom simply sent her to “get a facial.” She only noticed that something else was happening when her friend said, “Girl, where are your freckles going?”
She said her mom was ‘insane’ for this.
The whole thing feels pretty toxic, and apparently, Ariana’s mom still finds it amusing. “Every time I do my makeup, whether it’s a full face or just a little bit, I always put on freckles,” Ariana explained in her video. “Every time I do it, it makes me think of the fact that I would not be putting on these freckles had my mother not have gotten rid of my freckles when I was 14.” Yikes.
Clearly, Ariana loved her freckles (as she still applies artificial ones to this day) and was pretty bothered by having them removed. Yet when she recently spoke to her mom about it, Kim laughed it off. “She just started laughing,” Ariana said, calling her mom a “jacka–.”
“Mom, you’re a jacka– for that,” Ariana added. “I love you, but insane.”
Kim even responded to the video.
And based on her response, she still doesn’t take the whole thing very seriously. Commenting on Ariana’s video, Kim wrote, “😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.” Some fans were pretty disturbed by this dismissive response. “Kim, you’re so disconnected from reality,” one of them wrote. “This is why NO child should be exploited by their moms!!!”
Another person added, “Oh. My. God. Why are you laughing!? This isn’t remotely funny.”
And, yeah — Ariana’s story didn’t come across as funny.
Though Ariana made it clear that she still loves her mom in spite of this, she also stated that she loved her freckles and didn’t want them removed. Her mom made this decision for her without telling her. In her video, she explained that her “facial girl” told her (again, at age 14), “Your mom told me that you didn’t like them and you wanted me to remove them with the facial, like, lasering them off.”
But Ariana said no such thing to her mom, and was shocked. Ariana said her reaction at the time was something like, “What? I love my freckles.”
“Now I add them onto my face because I don’t have them anymore,” she explained. “Because somebody removed them. I didn’t want them removed.”
Fans slammed Kim in the comments.
Many of them were surprised that Ariana still has a relationship with her “jacka–” mother. “Your mum’s reaction to this video is sick 🤢” one fan commented. “You were taken advantage of by someone you should have been able to trust — in no way is that funny.” A second fan wrote, “I love your heart and your honesty. But this is pretty messed up of your mom, or any mom.”
A third person added, “That is the craziest thing that I have ever heard. Who would do that to a child 🤔 also without consent. You are beautiful!”
