Former NFL outside linebacker Kroy Biermann is facing a court-ordered repossession of his white-and-black Rolls-Royce Cullinan after allegedly going months without making lease payments and failing to respond to BMW Financial Services throughout the legal proceedings. A judge has ruled in the automaker’s favor, ordering Biermann to surrender the vehicle immediately.
The Lease Terms and the Alleged Default
According to a TMZ report, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan was leased under terms that carried a monthly payment of $5,297.64 over a three-year period — a total obligation approaching $190,000. Biermann allegedly stopped making those payments and, more unusually, made no response to BMW’s outreach or to the subsequent court action. TMZ reported he “hasn’t uttered a peep in his defense” throughout the legal process.
BMW Financial Services, which handles financing for the Rolls-Royce brand under BMW Group ownership, pursued the repossession through legal channels after direct contact with Biermann reportedly went unanswered for several months.
The Broader Financial Picture
Biermann’s NFL career ended several years ago, and the reality television series he shared with his family — Don’t Be Tardy on Bravo — was cancelled in May 2021. Both income streams that supported a high-visibility public lifestyle have dried up. The Cullinan had been a visible part of the couple’s public image, appearing regularly in social media content.
The trajectory from professional athlete to post-career financial difficulty is a pattern that plays out across sports more often than most people realize. The combination of peak earning years followed by a lifestyle built around those earnings, without adequate planning for what comes after, creates financial pressure that can surface in ways like this — a lease default on a vehicle that once served as a symbol of success.
Whether Biermann resolves the matter before enforcement action is taken or lets the repossession proceed remains to be seen. At a court-ordered surrender level, BMW holds the legal authority to recover the vehicle regardless of his cooperation.
