OMG y’all I slept in and opened my laptop and went straight to where I left off the live feeds and watched Steve on The Talk and totally forgot about the website. I just noticed I have WAY more emails than usual and y’all were trying to tell me about Kim. What a shock!
For those who have not heard, Kim Biermann had a mini-stroke after flying home to Atlanta from Dancing With the Stars! She is already posting selfies again so it looks like she will be fine. On the bright side, this will give her just the excuse she needs to bail on DWTS.
kimzolciakbiermann The last 24hrs have been whirlwind! I landed yesterday morning from LAX (took the red eye right after DWTS) I got home and within minutes suffered a TIA (mini stroke) the left side of my body went completely numb and my speech was gone. Extremely grateful for @sladeosborne @briellebiermann @nikitpressley @kroybiermann for quick reactions! I have 100%of my feeling back THANK GOD. Still in the hospital but I just know I’m getting released today! ????. #CrazyAgeDoesntMatter
Maybe this will encourage her to stop smoking….
I thought she had quit?
She has. And that was just a cunty thing to say in general.
This is crazy, she was very lucky it wasn’t worse. I wonder how much loots of travel has to do with these things, anyone know. I am wishing her a speedy recovery, and I have to say that she is so much prettier without all that make up on. I do wish she would let her natural beauty to shine through
Nothing to do with travel. Could be genetic. Also she is not the healthiest person, hates exercise, eats crap, history of smoking…But it’s mostly likely genetic. We have strokes in my family.
I believe you are referring to the association between air travel and deep vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot that often originates in the leg and then breaks off and travels to the lung and becomes a pulmonary embolism. David Bloom, an NBC war correspondent in Iraq, died of a PE after spending days in a tank where he could hardly move. My friend suffered from a PE after flying back from Australia. There isn’t any concrete evidence that prolonged air travel can cause a thrombosis, but it is a risk factor. The symptoms to watch out for are severe pain in the leg that persists, followed by difficulty in breathing and dizziness. My friend was teaching an aerobics class and became weak, unable to catch her breath, and sweating profusely. She was diagnosed correctly and is OK today, but it was a close call because she ignored her symptoms until she literally collapsed.
Yes relax, enjoy your beautiful life.
I agree.
She had done more botox for her migraines and pick me up, and there seems to be some difference of medical opinion as to whether you should stop flying for 48 hours or not. I hope her migraines are being properly diagnosed and she’s taking enuf time btw cosmetic surgical procedures.
Mini-strokes are no laughing matter, but there she is selling her tooth whitening before she does her bed rest. I don’t think she needs to work so hard to be pretty. Is she doing it all for ad dollars, teeth, waist training, plastic surgery promo, or too worried about what she looks like on tv, or doing it for her man? The old Kim didn’t seem so obsessed, Kroy wouldn’t mind if she toned it down would he?
The old Kim had Big Poppa so she never needed to worry about money.
Waist training? But Kim said she never photoshops her waist in pics! lol… She’s delusional if she thinks people believe that she doesn’t retouch all of her pics, even the ones she claims are unedited. Thing I don’t understand is, why? Textbook narcissist. Have to wonder if she was doing good on DWTS, would this have happened? Seems awfully convenient.
@Jess, You sound like Grtechen when she claimed Vicki being hospitalized for hemorrhaging through her ass was all an act so the attention would be on her and not Alexis! Sorry, but really?
No, I don’t think she’s doing it just for attention. Nothing screams ‘LOOK AT ME!!’ more than ER selfies hooked up to a heart monitor. However, Kim is pretty fucking lazy, just like Nene, so I honestly wouldn’t put it past her to exaggerate an ailment to get out of a commitment. Especially if she’s still getting paid regardless.
Jess, you are a fucking idiot. Bizarre claims about migraines? You really think Kim tweets her own ads? Have several seats.
What did I say about migraine ads? I wasn’t talking about her waist training ads (no shit ‘celebs’ don’t tweet/fb/Instagram their own ads) I was saying she denies Photoshopping or even wearing a waist trainer in her pictures when it’s clear she does. You sure do like to attack people who have a different opinion than you do. Have a good night Tamara.
She’s pretty open about using a waist trainer, I’ve seen her advertise the brand several times on FB and on Instagram.
She wears a corset-it’s all the rage. I can’t figure out if they really work or its bunk.
I don’t doubt that she had a stroke-it’s the pics in the hospital bed, especially the ones where she’s fake sleeping with Kory that I can’t stand. When did it become fashionable to photograph yourself in the ER? I birthed a 9 lb boy (22 inches with a friggin huge head) and I have only one pic of me in bed.
Kim has a lot on her plate. I’m not sure why she thought she could pull of DWTS (I can’t imagine six kids) but I wish her luck and a speedy recovery. She’ll have to quit smoking.
My goodness, her skin is GORGEOUS!
For real! You can bet if I was sick in the hospital I would NOT look like that. Her and Yolanda are the prettiest sick women I’ve ever seen.
Yours would be to if you paid for it to look like this.
Oh my goodness same thing we said on our morning walk Kim has the best excuse Lisa fainted and Kim had a TIA
Thank heaven Kim is improving after the mini-stroke, but she has got to take precautions seriously right now and to slow down many aspects of how she lives, for herself and for her kids. Kroy will probably insist, if she’s too stubborn to see it on her own. I want her to cool it with her chemical self-improvements, squeezing her internal organs with too much waist cinching and to relax at home while she still has a chance to enjoy her many blessings.
Somehow I think she is going to use this as a way to bow out of DWTS
Don’t think she’ll need it as an excuse. I’m guessing the docs will say to take it easy and no flying for a while. Also assume she’ll need follow-up tests to make sure there isn’t a bigger issue. This is sure a kick in the pants to get healthy!
Can’t help but wonder how her parents are feeling about right now?
Remember how Nene got all sick when she did DWTS and Lisa fainted. These ladies appear to be in pretty good shape so that training must be a beeotch. Regardless, get well soon, Kim!
Kim is only in shape because of plastic surgery. Lots and lot of it. She does not exercise so I’m quite sure all the Dancing was the most strenuous activity she’s done in a while.
Ya…I guess you have a point. Just because someone is thin or has a nice body doesn’t always equal health.
Wishing her well.
I have had a TIA and it’s scary, it happens so quickly and then its done. Hope she’ll follow her doctors recommendations.
Sorry to hear that. I would imagine it is. Glad you both are ok.
How the heck did she suffer a TIA within minutes because if you go on her Instagram she’s talking about just landing and sitting in front of a mirror whitening her teeth. She must have had the stroke after that.
Kim is so young for this to have happened. Often it’s a series of TIAs followed by a bigger stroke eventually (happened to both my dad and grandmother). Prayers and well-wishes for Kim and her family.
Yes, from my understanding a TIA is a huge issue and not some little one off thing. My Aunt dealt with this.
You have four babies back to back, get your boobs enlarged, get your body sculpted, have plastic surgery on nose and other things, waist clincher cutting off your blood circulation, smoking, drinking; she’s lucky (if she had a TIA which I don’t believe a thing Kim says) she’s been warned,, now is the time to stop Brielle before its to late.
It’s times like these that forces you to take stock of what is important and what is not. I’m sure that is a personal journey she must take. DWTS is no cake walk either.
Time to quit smoking and drinking. Speedy recovery since TIAs can be recurrent and may often lead to a full blown stroke. She has those kids to think of.
No doubt performing on Dancing With the Stars is not easy. It takes a lot of effort and if you’re not use to much physical exercise, then I can imagine it would be grueling. Honestly, I thought it was kind of bizarre that Kim would even attempt it because she doesn’t appear to be in the best condition for it, but I do appreciate that she tried. It may be time to bow out gracefully and let the dancing go to those that can really handle it. My best to Kim.
Some of these commenters are as bad as Meghan. Thinking they are Drs and can diagnose someone from an I ragtag picture or two. Damn people are harsh!
Instagram
Luckily, Kim is a nurse and recognized what it was quickly. I’m also quite sure she will follow doctor’s orders. I wonder if she’s being tested for a PFO, a small hole in the heart from birth that usually shows itself as a TIA in people her age, same thing happened to football player Ted Bruschi while he was still playing.
I do hope she takes this as an opportunity to become a spokesperson for stroke awareness.
I’m so glad she’s okay for now. TIAs can be a precursor to more damaging events. Things happen for a reason & I hope she takes stock of her health.
BTW she’s not a nurse. She worked as a CNA.
I thought she was a LPN not a CNA?
BTW, Kim is a nurse, although no longer practicing. She went to UConn and received an LPN, LICENSED and practiced in both CT and GA
When Kim was talking to her friends from her hometown she did say she was working as a CNA. She also said she was working full time and going to school. I took it to mean that she was working as a CNA while getting her LPN.
Yes, Kim was an LPN. I don’t know why someone would just up and announce that she wasn’t.
I apologize…was simply stating what I heard her say on the show. Was not aware of the LPN part. Not hating. ?
Kim didn’t recognize or know what happened to her. That nurses thing is still in question. Licensed practical nurse.
Actually her license was posted on the internet….LPN.
Omg so scarey, and so glad to hear she is doing well.
I am not judging here but what happen to Kim’s Boobs ?
Why all the Kim hating comments?!? Just say wow that is scary, prayers, thinking of the family, get well soon, that face is on fleek….. Anything but bashing her! OR my personal fave, nothing at all.
Amie…. I cosign this…
Thanks DJ..
A friend had a TIA, then a few weeks later had a major stroke. This is serious.
Hope Kim is on the road to recovery. Why do we try to blame people for their illnesses? Bad shit happens period.
I’m concerned that the glare of fame is blinding Kim to the reality of her health concerns…It is being reported that she is practicing dance moves with Tony Dovolani in ATL hospital room.
Now she is acting like a nurse..we are the worst patients.. We really think we are invincible sometimes. We love to bounce back quick ..too quick because are vitals are stable.. Kim. HAS to be going against doctors orders by dancing.. She has more of a chance of another stroke now more then ever..Slow Down Kim..your kids need YOU not your fame.
Please keep the “reports” from other places off this site. Kim is not dancing anywhere. She is hooked up to monitors in a hospital room and undergoing some further testing today. Tony Dovolani has been sitting with her since they arrived back in Atlanta in her hospital room.
Jesus, people.
Some of these comments really suck. I didn’t realize there were so many medical professionals who know all about the do’s and don’ts of TIA’s that comment here (let alone them knowing what Kim does and doesn’t do in her own privacy)!
I wish Kim a speedy recovery and hope all her ‘after tests’ come back okay.
ADMIN EDIT:
Do shut up. Seriously. You have no idea what you are talking about.
Only love and best wishes to Kim and whole Bierman household.
Wow, I usually DON’T comment on here, but I ALWAYS read TT’s blogs. For ALL the rules and things ppl can and cannot say/type TT sure talks ALOT of ISSSHH to ppl who read her posts! This is NOT the first time I’ve NOTICED it. LIKE only bc you write the blogs DOESN’T mean our opinions arent valid and you can call ppl idiots. Just ANNOYING, NOONE IS PERFECT AND YOU CERTAINLY aren’t ALWAYS right. And you wouldn’t be where your at if it wasn’t for us that read your blogs, have some MUTUAL RESPECT for US as we do You bc from what I read EVERYONE kisses your ass, idk why. You ARE NOT always right. And you ALL can get mad but you guys know you have felt the same way at some point.
Unable to piss with the big boys? The beatings will continue until morale improves. If you can’t take it go self flagelate.
Surely you aren’t speaking to me? Morale improving? I see NOTHING wrong with the morale, Infact it’s pretty bias to what ONE PERSONS opinion is. scary as ppl thats all it is! & Its the name calling that’s inappropriate and your response is WEAK if it was towards me… move around take several seats pls…
And btw I NVR PISS with Big boys! Bahaha, you are so dated bye!
Who the hell let the gate open and Christie back in under w different name?
Can’t piss with the big boys ‘ cause you still piss in diapers? Potty training to difficult?
Why do they always come back over and over with new names after being banned? If this is such a horrible blog, with terrible rules and an egomaniacal site owner, who is in fact always right, why continue to subject yourself to this place?
I eagerly await your next retarded nic. Even if they weren’t all C names your spastic blathering about nothing but me in each comment is a dead giveaway.
Guess you’re beating yourself up right about now?
You know why TT calls people idiots? Because they’re IDIOTS!!
Aye yi yi!!
For someone so familiar with all the rules guess you forgot about not using *text speak* on here. I know…hard for kids your age to type full sentences.
I used to have “bc” as a moderation trip. Because, if you can’t type out the word because, this probably isn’t the place for you.
Someone sent me a meme lately with some slang superimposed with the comment “I didn’t make this. I’m actually fluent in English.” It made me think, how sad it must be to be fluent in ZERO languages.
Fortunately, we have lots of smart people here who are fluent in multiple languages. The rest can sit and watch us from the WLS. 🙂
All right then. There’s a big difference between loving and being supportive and asskissing. Certainly lovers between the sheets do both! Tee-hee. Moving on.
The lead placement is wrong on her chest. The electrodes are not where they are supposed to be. Looks like they were stuck back on for a picture, not that there’s anything wrong with that…just saying.
God you’re an idiot.
I went back and looked and you are right…the lead is in the wrong place. Poor dumb Kim…why must you lie so much.
I’m an idiot? Lol! I put lead placements on for a living and you do what?
Get well soon Kim, my prayers are with your family. Thank you TT you and the others have taught me a lot in this blog about symptoms of TIA❤️
I’m someone who isn’t coming to you for nursing skills. First, you seem like a cunt. And secondly, that is a perfect top three on a five electrode lead placement for an ECG. God save your patients if you are actually near any patients.
Oh, and Linda/Lori I forgot to answer what I do. I identify nutbars who talk to themselves under multiple nics for a living. Why do all you fucktards start all your nics with the same letter, are you running through the entire alphabet getting banned everywhere?
I hope she gets better soon! I do find it ironic that posters here were taking bets on when Nene would quit DWTS by faking the same ailment.
Really? Can you link to that? I always said Nene would work her ass off unless she quit like she did on the Apprentice because she wasn’t getting enough attention.
I also predicted when the Kim rumors started that they had to be false because Kim hates work and exercise and this show would not be a good fit for her.
