In the photo taken while on vacation, a nude Zolciak-Biermann covers her face with an oversized hat, proudly showing off her curves.
“Make up free Sundays #iwokeuplikethis,” the former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast-member captioned the photo. “I’ve had this outfit for years. Photo credit my hot hubby @kroybiermann.”
The photo sent Instagram trolls into overdrive, with the mother-of-six receiving hate for her tanned skin and for allegedly Photoshopping the photo to appear slimmer.
It began when some followers accused Zolciak-Biermann of “blackfishing” with her darkened skin.

“I ways praying this would be a woman of color but no it’s a white woman that darkened her skin,” a follower wrote. “ If only you didn't tan your skin to be this dark. They want to be like use but when it's time to be us they run away fast and that's #facts.”
The star’s thin physique also drew criticism, with many people comparing the photo to her appearance on the Bravo after show, “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”
“Damn girl you lose like 30 lbs since WWHL last week?” one person commented.“Tell me all the secrets.”
The criticism even prompted a reply from the star herself after one of her fans asked, “Is that much tanning healthy?”

“Girl cut the sh-t,” Zolciak-Biermann hit back. “I’ve been at the beach less than 24 hours. Just wait til next weekend.”
The Bravo celeb has garnered plenty of criticism regarding her appearance in the but has kept relatively quiet about opting for any plastic surgery. The star’s defensive stance has some of her fans wishing she would open up and be honest about her looks.
“People want authenticity, not perfection,” a follower commented on Zolciak-Biermann’s photo. “I feel bad she tries to hold herself to such a high standard. Anyway, perfection isn't interesting. Being able to laugh at your imperfections makes a person likable and relatable.”
