Bethenny Frankel has ripped into Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann in the wake of their divorce news as she slammed their excessive lifestyle and urged them to pay their bills.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum this week filed for divorce from the former NFL star, listing April 30 as the date of their separation.

The pair’s split followed hot on the heels of news that they owe the IRS more than $1 million, according to TMZ.

And “The Real Housewives of New York” alum Frankel said the estranged pair have “always been people who seem like they’re spending more than they have.”

In a TikTok video shared with her 1.3 million followers on the platform Monday, the 52-year-old slammed the pair’s spending habits, saying they didn’t adjust their lifestyle when their income decreased over the years.

“He’s on a football salary, she’s on a Housewives salary, and they’re spending like the f–king planes going down,” she said in the clip. “And the thing is, you can’t spend more than you make.”

“Pay your bills. Don’t front & stunt. All show & no go #payyourbills,” Frankel captioned her explosive clip.

Frankel said that Zolciak made the same mistakes that several other Bravolebrities made in the past by spending money they didn’t have in a desperate bid to keep up appearances.

“It’s the old Housewives model to get on the show, make no money — spend, spend, logo, logo, car, car, house, house, bankruptcy, foreclosure – because you can’t f–king keep up your writing checks you can’t cash – and it’s gross,” she explained.

“It’s like, what’s wrong with America? When the whole real estate bubble crashed, that was because people were just, just financing their houses and the whole thing imploded.”

“And I heard Kim and Kroy owe a million dollars each, and it’s like, ‘Good – pay the IRS!’ You gotta f–king pay – you wanna play, you gotta f–king pay,” she fumed.

Frankel said the pair’s lifestyle was a “recipe for disaster” as she accused them of flaunting their so-called lavish way of life on social media.

“These couples that bring everybody in to every single detail like they’re perfect,” she said. “Everyone gets humbled real quick.”

“So these two [were like] ‘We’re so perfect and we’re so in love, and we have all this money and we’re spending,’ and the diamonds and this and the filters and the kids and everything.”

Elsewhere in the clip, the reality star said the pair should expect criticism “when s–t goes sideways.”

“You invited us in when it was going good and it looked like a fairy tale — or made us believe it was — well, guess what? We’re coming out with you, too,” she said. “So no one’s gonna f–king respect your privacy at this time, because there is no privacy at this time.”

“F–king hate all show and no go,” she went on, adding, “I hate fronting and stunting. Pay your f–king bills, that’s all I have to say, pay your f–king bills.”
