Why did Kroy Biermann step out now?
According to photos obtained by Page Six, Kroy Biermann was seen picking up Kash from football practice at a fitness facility in Alpharetta on Saturday. The outing marked his first public appearance since KJ was taken into custody last Monday.

What charges does KJ Biermann face?
KJ Biermann, 15, was arrested for aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery. Court documents obtained by Page Six allege a female classmate accused KJ of assaulting her at the Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta on April 23.
The girl, who was 15 at the time and described herself as KJ's girlfriend's best friend, claimed KJ allegedly forced himself on her in a co-ed sauna despite her saying no. She alleged he attempted multiple times to pull down her pants and forced oral sex and digital penetration.
Police reported KJ was visible in security camera footage at the gym that day but did not scan in. An exam at North Fulton hospital found no evidence of male DNA in her mouth or vagina, per the police report. Police have launched an investigation into the alleged incident.
What do KJ's family and lawyer say about the allegations?
KJ's lawyer, Jason Sheffield, told Page Six Friday that his client is 100% innocent and passed a polygraph by a respected sex offender polygrapher. Sheffield claimed he has evidence of prior false allegations by the alleged victim and noted investigators found no male DNA.
Kim Zolciak, 48, called the allegations reckless and deeply troubling in a statement to Page Six. She said KJ categorically denies the conduct, passed a polygraph, and that no DNA belonging to her son was found. Zolciak also noted the alleged victim has made similar allegations involving two other people.
Sheffield asked the public not to presume the truth of the allegations and to give both families privacy. For ongoing coverage, see our Celebrity Breaking News hub.
