Per Page Six reports, Joe Zolciak was taken into custody on Monday following an explosive altercation with his wife Karen.

Kim Zolciak Refuses To Speak With Parents
Following her bath, Karen reportedly returned later to the couple’s bedroom making numerous attempts to discuss matters with Joe while he continues to ignore her. This is when things took a physical turn according to the police reports. Joe then allegedly pushed Karen causing her to fall and hit her head on a nearby table. Officers soon arrived on the scene.
When speaking with Karen the officer noted that she appeared to be ‘very intoxicated.’
However, Karen is only admitting to drinking two glasses of wine. Paramedics arrived at the Zolciak home and soon make the decision to transport Karen to West Florida Hospital.
Arresting officers then began speaking with Joe. He claims that Karen was drinking heavily during the day. Adding that she fell on her own, attempting to block the TV he was watching.
Joe Zolciak was then arrested and transported to Escambia County Jail. He was held and released on Tuesday evening after posting a $1000 bond. He is due in court on November 29.
Bad Memories
Kim Zolciak has noted throughout the past few years that she no longer speaks with either of her parents. The family became estranged in 2017 after Joe publicly blasted Kim for making the decision to keep a dog that had bitten her son.
The reality star took to social media to explain her family situation following the tragic incident writing;
“Anyone who is close to me, or my family knows first hand how incredibly difficult the situation with my baby [Kash] was for us and still is! My parents haven’t been a part of me or my families lives for close to 6 years. They somehow think it is appropriate to comment or give their opinion on a situation that they know nothing about! I still can’t and will never be able to grasp the fact my parents will say or do whatever they can for a dollar!”
