Her mother was also none too pleased over the incident, telling her Twitter followers on Saturday that police were “now involved.”

Delta denied the allegations in a statement to Us on Monday, July 22, noting that Kroy, 33, had stayed behind while his family boarded their flight to clarify the dog’s paperwork and arrived at the gate after the door to the plane had been closed. “Mrs. Zolciak Biermann and family elected to deplane their flight after her husband remained behind to provide proper paperwork for an emotional support animal,” the company’s statement read.

Delta also alleged that though employees attempted to help the Zolciak-Biermann family find other travel accommodations, they ultimately made their own.
