As we previously reported, Kim Zolciak’s son KJ Biermann was recently arrested on sexual assault charges.
Kim says KJ is innocent, but he’s still being held without bail as he awaits trial.
Now, Kim’s lawyers are making it clear that they do not believe the 15-year-old son belongs in the adult criminal justice system.
KJ, who was 14 at the time of the alleged incident, is facing seven felony charges stemming from allegations involving a female classmate at a Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia.
And if the son of the former Bravo star were ultimately convicted as an adult, the potential consequences would be staggering.
According to a new court filing obtained by Page Six, KJ’s attorney Jason Sheffield says the aggravated charges carry a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison without parole — and potentially life in prison.
Sheffield is asking a Fulton County judge to transfer the case to juvenile court instead.
“At fifteen, KJ’s story is not finished,” Sheffield wrote, arguing that the teenager’s development is ongoing and that his future should not be determined solely by the allegations against him.
The attorney maintains that KJ is capable of rehabilitation through the juvenile justice system, where he could receive treatment, supervision, education, and structure.
“The adult system asks principally what punishment an offense deserves,” Sheffield wrote. “The transfer statute asks a different question: What should happen to this child?”
KJ has been indicted on charges including aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, three counts of aggravated sexual battery involving a child under 16 and false imprisonment.
He has pleaded not guilty through his attorney, who has repeatedly maintained that his client is “100% innocent.”
Sheffield has also pointed to a passed polygraph examination and the absence of male DNA in the areas identified by the alleged victim.
The attorney is asking the court to provide additional privacy protections, arguing that the intense media attention surrounding the case could affect witnesses and their recollections.
“Neither child chose this attention,” Sheffield wrote. “Yet both must now live beneath it.”
KJ remains in custody at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center in Atlanta and is being held without bond. His next bond hearing is scheduled for September 11, while his arraignment is expected to take place October 14.
For now, KJ’s legal team is fighting to keep the case in juvenile court — and to make sure a 15-year-old does not face an adult prison sentence before he has even had the chance to grow up.

It’s been two weeks since Dolly Parton passed away following a brief battle with cancer.
And while the country legend connected with tens of millions of lives through her music and her humanitarian work, it seems that she could be a very private person.
In fact, even while privately battling cancer, the country music legend apparently remained determined to keep the people she loved from worrying about her.
While we knew that Dolly had had some health issues, news of her death came as a shock to fans around the world. And, as it turns out, to some members of her own family.
During a new interview with CBS Mornings, Dolly’s sister, Stella Parton, revealed that the singer intentionally kept her diagnosis private from much of their extended family.
“Some of us knew, the ones of us that were closer,” Stella explained.
In other words, Dolly apparently wasn’t exactly sending out a family-wide memo about her health.
And there was a very Dolly reason for keeping everyone in the dark.
“She did not want people sad,” Stella said. “Dolly could not bear negative things.”
The country icon also didn’t want her millions of fans focusing on her illness rather than the joy she had spent her life spreading.
“She would not have wanted her fans worried about it,” Stella added.
That commitment to keeping things positive was apparently characteristic of Dolly right up until the end.
Her representatives announced after her death that she had “bravely” faced a brief battle with cancer before passing away at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville.
However, the family has not disclosed what type of cancer she had or how long she had been battling the disease.
Dolly’s niece, Jada Star, previously offered similar insight into the country icon’s decision to keep her health struggles private.
“She never wanted to worry anybody,” Star said earlier this month, explaining that the family “kept all that stuff real private.”
Dolly had experienced other health problems in the months before her death, including kidney and autoimmune issues, and canceled several public appearances.
But even as her health declined, she apparently remained focused on protecting everyone else from the reality of what she was going through.
That selflessness extended beyond her own family.
According to Stella, Dolly was even willing to undergo experimental treatments if doctors believed doing so could potentially help other patients in the future.
It was a fitting final chapter for a woman whose legacy extends far beyond music.
“She’d be really happy and delighted that people have shown her so much love,” Stella said of the massive outpouring of tributes following Dolly’s death.
She will be missed by millions for many years to come.

In a tragic twist, influencer Olivia Oras has died.
Reportedly, she underwent a cosmetic procedure.
Police are investigating her death as aggravated manslaughter.
What happened?
How did Olivia Oras die?
Finnish influencer Olivia Oras tragically passed away on September 3.
She was only 27 years old.
The content creator’s family have not rushed to share which cosmetic procedure she was undergoing.
However, in public statements, they have described her death as a result of a procedure “gone wrong.”
For the moment, what we know is that her parents say that she passed away after going under anesthesia at a private clinic in Helsinki.
Some surgeries have known — and feared — risks, such as embolisms.
We are still hoping for more details, but expect them in the near future.
In a statement on Wednesday, September 9, Finnish police confirmed that they are investigating Oras’ death as a crime.
Specifically, they are looking into it as a possible case of aggravated manslaughter.
However, the investigation is only days old. No arrests have been announced.
Who was Olivia Oras?
Fans may remember Olivia Oras for building a following on social media when she was just a teenager.
In 2016, she took part in the The Perfect Selfie documentary.
The doc followed a year and a half of her life as a high school girl.
Her following grew during that time, and the documentary explored her relationship with social media.
In the 2010s, social media as we know it was still a relatively new phenomenon — and, for the most part, not yet a weapon of division and discord used by governments and aspiring techno-feudal overlords as a weapon against most of humanity.
Later, Oras went on to launch a nonprofit.
The organization supports pulmonary disease research.
In the process — and true to her influencer roots — she worked with multiple tech and wellness companies.
There is no “good” age at which an innocent person should die. But Oras was only 27.
Her family, friends, fans, and followers are all mourning this loss — and hoping that an investigation can give them answers.

Along with politically fueled outrage, sports betting and nudity are two things that make the internet go round in 2026.
So Sydney Sweeney’s new ad for the sports betting app Novig might actually make your local data center explode.
Yes, Sydney is once again using her most famous assets to capture the internet’s attention — and once again, it’s working like a charm.
If you’re like most people, you’d never heard of Novig before today.
Now, the little-known app is trending on Google and across social media platforms.
And it’s all because of series of eye-catching ads in which Sydney promises that the betting platform is devoted solely to sports and doesn’t dabble in politics like other prediction markets.
Of course, it’s anyone’s guess how many viewers are actually bothering to unmute the viral clips.
Needless to say, the folks running the show at Novig are probably very happy with their decision to shell out for a partnership with Sydney.
For the most part, reaction to the ads has been positive.
“Greatest ad ever,” wrote one enthusiastic commenter on Sydney’s page.
“She’s got the whole internet malfunctioning.. AGAINNNN,” another chimed in.
But as with Sydney’s previous ad campaigns, there’s been some blowback too.
Some folks are giving the actress a hard time for promoting a gambling app.
The decision to legalize sports betting remains a controversial one, and many critics are concerned about the impact on the lives of young men, who are the obvious target for these ads.
And then there are those who are criticizing Novig not for the nature of their business but for promoting themselves with such provocative content.
“Selling your body to a gambling company. There will be a new book in the bible about this one day,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“I mean can we all agree that at this point Sydney Sweeney is basically just a porn star without the stigma?” another added.
“Here’s Sydney Sweeney being naked to promote a new gambling app in what could be easily mistaken for an SNL skit,” a third account complained, adding:
“IDK who’s more pathetic: Sydney Sweeney or dudes.”
Meanwhile, others have pointed out that this is no mere endorsement deal, and Sydney is actually an equity partner in Novig.
So even if there’s truth to the reports that Sydney’s lingerie brand is failing, she might still be well on her way to becoming a billionaire.
And while she’ll likely continue to draw criticism from puritanical haters, there’s no denying that Sydney knows how to make her assets work for her.

In early September, the Lindsay Clancy trial ended in a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict.
As it turned out, there was one lone holdout preventing an acquittal.
Now, the jurors are speaking out, discussing their experiences — and describing the “arrogant” man who held up deliberations until the trial was over.
According to former members of the jury, he ignored evidence and answers to his questions, leaving the case in limbo.
‘He admitted he had reasonable doubt’
Three jurors spoke to NBC 10 Boston mere days after the Lindsay Clancy case came to a close.
Foreman Roni Carlson, a retired elementary school teacher, said that wrangling during jury deliberations was at times more challenging than managing a classroom full of Fifth Graders.
Speaking of the holdout, it sounds like he had reasonable doubt … giving the other jurors a brief moment of hope before he dashed it.
“He admitted he had reasonable doubt and I started filling out the forms. I was so excited,” she recalled.
Being on a jury is a grueling business, and the obligations of being even a prospective juror begin even before the trial. Everyone was understandably eager to leave the high-profile legal case behind them.
‘She had to have snapped’
“But I’m still not going to say that she’s not guilty by reason of insanity,” she recalled the lone holdout saying.
That sounds like a violation of the instructions that jurors are given. If there is reasonable doubt, acquittal is usually the verdict.
Carlson described how the defense laid out a solid argument, using a series of witnesses to portray Clancy as a loving mother who had suffered a psychotic episode.
“Everything proved she loved her children, from her journals to her mother-in-law, everything proved that she loved her children,” the foreperson summarized.
Carlson reasoned: “So she had to have snapped and not known what she was doing.”
Fascinating. Three jurors on the Lindsay Clancy case spoke with NBC Boston. According to the jurors, 11 jury members wanted to find Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity. The holdout juror “admitted he had reasonable doubt” and then said “but I’m still not going to say she’s not guilty…”

‘He just completely disregarded the information’
During the interviews, one former juror spoke at length about the evidence from the Lindsay Clancy trial.
This is where the rogue juror earned the description of “arrogant,” for seemingly refusing to listen to the evidence presented at trial.
At one point, the lone holdout asked about medication, at which point jurors in the room — some of whom had expertise in the matter, which they of course disclosed during the voir dire process — answered his question.
“And he just completely disregarded the information that he gave,” the former juror described.
That sounds worrisome. It also sounds incredibly frustrating for the other jurors who were, to be blunt, ready to go home to their families.
Rogue jurors are not unique to this trial
Fortunately, the jury system — despite its many flaws — is designed to operate so that one or two jurors with bad intentions (or simply individuals who struggle to operate as intended) cannot send a guilty person to prison.
After all, it is better for 100 guilty people to go free than for one person to be condemned to our hellish carceral system. Even though the idea of that really sucks.
Many of us can imagine being on a jury where a guilty party is about to go free, and we are the lone holdout. “The demon,” a nickname that OJ Simpson’s defense gave to one juror during his famous murder trial, was apparently one such party — until she surrendered for reasons unknown, voting to acquit.
But the Clancy trial is a case of postpartum psychosis, a known and fortunately rare situation in which a parent who has given birth in recent months has their protective instincts reversed, killing one or more children — sometimes with the belief that this is the only means of “saving” the children.
It is not rational and it does not make sense, because the person is in a psychotic state from which they can recover, never again becoming a danger to anyone.
It is unclear how someone could review the evidence and believe that Clancy belongs in prison. There are countless evil, monstrous parents in the world. This case was a preventable tragedy.

Why did Pink call out Macklemore and Ed Sheeran?
And why is more or less the entire internet siding with the guys who both spent much of their careers as the butt of jokes?
We’ll dive into exactly what everyone involved said and did.
We will also explore why the quote, calling Pink a “bad seed on this earth,” is everywhere on social media right now.
Why did Pink condemn both Macklemore and Ed Sheeran?
Ed Sheeran is touring, and Macklemore has been his opening act — much to the consternation of Pink, among others.
On her Instagram Story, Pink re-shared a post from “stop_antisemitism,” a page that critics say does more to foment antisemitism.
The page claimed that “concert goers are owed apologies and refunds” after listening to Macklemore’s “anti-Israel propaganda” that turned “a mainstream event into a political nightmare against the Jewish state.”
That is a very dramatic description of Macklemore’s statements.
What did he say about Israel?
Open for Ed Sheeran, Macklemore addressed the crowd of thousands.
“Two words that are very near and dear to my heart,” he said.
“Free Palestine!” Macklemore proclaimed.
Though the freedom of the people of Palestine has been a topic near and dear to the hearts of many since Israel came into being as an apartheid state in the 20th Century, the IDF’s recent atrocities in Gaza and beyond have drawn added scrutiny.
Macklemore did not actually talk about Israel, though. If a positive statement towards victims is taken as a condemnation of a country, that seems to say more about the country than it does about the speaker.
Everyone is clowning on Pink for her clownery
In case you have missed the extensive coverage of the backlash that Pink has received since condemning Macklemore and Ed Sheeran, well, it’s been everywhere.
People have expressed an array of emotions, ranging from sadness to surprise to a sad lack of surprise over Pink apparently being a Zionist.
Zionism is, first and foremost, a nationalist belief in supporting the continued existence of Israel, usually as an apartheid state in which Palestinian people who have lived there for countless generations hold no political power if they exist at all.
It is probably less surprising and perhaps even less upsetting when someone who does not have a positive reputation, like Gwyneth Paltrow, posts advertisements for multimillion-dollar settler condos in Israel than when someone like Pink, who once used her platform to share positive and compassionate messages, reveals herself to not be a good person.
A video of Thorgy Thor on RPDR referring to Pink as “a bad seed on this Earth” has been circulating, for obviously reasons.

On social media, Pink has been crashing out.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she has been posting a number of posts — which have since been preserved elsewhere — that take on a childish tone.
In post after post, she’s sharing graphics that reiterate that she meant what she said, that she doesn’t mind people seeing her as a villain, that she’s “not for everyone,” and more.
It’s not a very mature reaction. But condemning someone for calling for the end to a genocide does not indicate a high level or moral clarity, so our expectations for Pink at this time are not high.
Macklemore has repeatedly called for an end to the atrocities in Gaza and beyond, even dedicating some of his music to this courageous call to decency. It is a pity that Pink chose another path.
