Reality television personalities are drawing parallels between recent divorce proceedings and their own past marital disputes. Kim Zolciak-Biermann's daughters, Brielle and Ariana, commented on a teaser for Danielle Draper's appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, noting striking similarities to their mother's ongoing divorce.
Draper, 33, claimed that her ex-husband, Justin Ngatikaura, 31, "ran to the courthouse and to TMZ" to make the divorce appear as his decision after she informed him of her intent to file. She suggested that if he played "dirty," she was prepared to discuss allegations involving escorts and orgies.
Ngatikaura officially filed for divorce on Thursday, March 19, stating it was "not easy" and "comes with a heavy heart." He also filed for a temporary restraining order (TRO) on Friday, March 20, which was ultimately denied. Draper filed her opposition the same day.
During her podcast appearance on Wednesday, March 25, Draper stated she was "blindsided" by Ngatikaura's filing. She explained that while she had ended the relationship, they had agreed to file jointly. Ngatikaura and Draper married in 2020 and share two young children, Jagger and Jovi. Draper also has a daughter, Peyton, from a previous relationship.
