  • Kandi Burruss: RHOA Star Shares Pics Of Her Adorable Newborn Baby Ace Wells

    Real Housewives of Atlanta Kandi Burruss and husband Todd Tucker feel like first-time parents after welcoming their son Ace Wells.

    Burruss, who struggled to get pregnant before resorting to IVF treatment, welcomed their newborn son on January 6, but for them it was worth the wait.

    “We really worked hard for him,” she recently told People. “It was a long process and lots of needles.”
    Kandi Burruss says they felt like first-time parents ever since Ace Wells came, even though she and Tucker already have daughters from previous relationships- Riley, 13, and Kaela, 19.

    “It’s like starting all over,” shared the reality star. “We were like, ‘Which bottles do we use? What diapers do we buy?’ Simple stuff that you would think I already know and I don’t. It’s silly.”

    I posted this video of #Ace earlier on my snapchat. Follow me on snap! #kandiburruss

    Since they already have two daughters, Burruss was really excited to have a baby boy in the family. “I always wanted a boy so we were super excited because we have two girls and they give us much attitude. We were looking forward to having a boy,” she said.

    In fact, they have already decided on their baby’s nursery décor. Ace Wells’ room was safari themed because the reality stars met in Africa, said Burruss. “It’s safari chic. Safari clean,” Tucker said of their baby’s nursery.

    God gives you what you need! And this little guy is a blessing! All I can say is Thank You!!!

  • Kandi Burruss: RHOA Star Shares First Pic Of Her Newborn

    Second-time mom Kandi Burruss is overjoyed now that her first child with husband Todd Tucker has arrived. Family members of the reality star, who were just as excited to be with baby Tucker, shared first photos of the newborn on Instagram, just hours after the successful delivery.

    Tucker’s 19-year-old daughter Kaela shared her happiness over meeting her baby brother through an Instagram photo showing her carrying the little bundle of joy. “January 6th” Kaela wrote with a heart icon, “Love you forever and ever.” She also posted a snapshot of her father holding the baby in his arms.

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member looked happy and beautiful as she posed beside her long-time friend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris in another cute Instagram pic. The two were members of a ‘90s R&B group Xscape.

    Burruss and her husband welcomed their first baby together on Wednesday, at around 8:42 a.m. The RHOA star, who underwent C-Section, gave birth to a healthy 7 lbs. 6 oz baby boy.

    “Todd and I have been waiting so long for his delivery and he is so very perfect,” Kandi Burruss told People.

    Burruss has been vocal about their struggle to conceive, which prompted them to try in vitro fertilization in the hopes of getting pregnant despite knowing that the procedure would not guarantee success. She was, however, ecstatic upon finding out she was pregnant.

    “…so when we found out that our procedure WAS successful you can’t imagine our joy! Our family could now be complete with the addition of our baby love,” Burruss shared in a July interview with Us Weekly.

    Kandi Burruss also has a 13-year-old daughter named Riley from a previous relationship with Russell “Block” Spencer.

    Burruss and Tucker met on the set of RHOA where Tucker works as a line producer. They got engaged in 2013 and married in a televised ceremony in 2014.

    The 39-year-old reality star and her husband, Todd Tucker, welcomed their little bundle of joy on Wednesday, confirmed People magazine.

    The is the first child for Burruss with Tucker. She has a 13-year-old daughter, Riley, while Tucker is the father of 19-year-old Kaela.

    This is a miracle baby in many ways. Burruss’ difficulties in getting pregnant were chronicled on the Bravo reality series.

    “We’ve been looking forward to this moment,” Burruss said in July after revealing she was expecting. “I’m ecstatic.”

    “Just pray for us that everything is great and we get a healthy baby!” she told E! News back in April. “My family definitely, they definitely want a baby for me and Todd.”

    People also reports that despite her difficulties in getting pregnant, the pregnancy itself was smooth sailing.

    “No craving or morning sickness thank goodness,” she said. “I’m just tired all of the time.”

    Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are said to be excited about the arrival of their much-anticipated son. Congrats to the entire family!

  • Kandi Burruss, Todd Tucker Expecting Baby Boy

    Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker of The Real Housewives of Atlanta are expecting a baby boy. The couple is beyond excited, as they each have a daughter from previous relationships.

    During an interview on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Kandi Burruss enlisted the help of her fans to come up with options for boy’s names.

    “We can’t agree on times right now,” she said. If anyone’s got some good names, tweet them to me. Help me out!”

    Kandi Burruss shared the fertility struggles she and Todd Tucker endured during the last season of the show. The couple was beyond excited when they finally learned they had a baby on the way.

    The anticipation is rather bittersweet for both Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker, however, as his mom really wanted a grandchild, but passed away from a stroke almost a year ago.

    Todd shared an ultrasound photo on his Instagram account, and mentioned how much his mom would have loved this baby.

    “That’s baby Tucker!!! It’s a BOY!!! I wish my mom was here for this! She wanted this more than anything!!! But I know she see’s everything that’s happening and she’s happy and proud of us!!!” he captioned the photo.

  • Kim Fields: ‘Facts of Life’ Star Makes ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Debut

    Kim Fields was best known for her role as Tootie Ramsey on the 1980s NBC hit show The Facts of Life. In the wake of NeNe Leakes’ departure, Kim Fields has signed on to The Real Housewives of Atlanta for its eighth season.

    In a new trailer promoting the upcoming season, Fields appears alongside the rest of the RHOA cast members–Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burress, Kenya Moore, Phaedra Parks, Sheree Whitfield, and Porsha Williams. Sheree Whitfield is making her return to the show. Shamea Morton is another newbie, like Fields.

    The new season is filled with the highly anticipated drama fans have come to expect–and to love. Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are expecting their first baby. Kenya Moore is on the prowl for love while working on building her “Moore Manor.” These are only a couple of the story lines that fans will watch religiously.

    “This is Hollywood royalty right here girl,” Kenya Moore says to Kim Fields in the promo clip. “Everybody knows Tootie.”

    How do you expect Kim Fields will fit in with the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta? It’s certainly a far cry from Mrs. Garrett and the group of boarding school girls she starred alongside on The Facts of Life. Even Blair Warner–payed by actress Lisa Welchel–is harmless compared to some of these wild women.

    The new season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres on Sunday, November 8th at 8:00 p.m.

    Will you tune in to check out Kim Fields and see how she fares?

  • Kandi Burruss: Drama Ensues On Family Ski Trip To Colarado

    Everyone has horror stories of their family vacations. Kandi Burruss had hers caught on camera.

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta mainstay and her husband Todd Tucker went on a vacation with their families in an effort to mend relationships and get their families closer. While their intentions were good, not everyone saw it that way.

    And all the ensuing drama can be seen on Kandi’s three-part spinoff The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kandi’s Ski Trip.

    In an exclusive statement, Todd mentioned the need to fix strained relationships, particularly in light of his mother’s passing.

    “We’ve never had Kandi and my family under the same roof so it was an interesting experiment with lots of unexpected moments,” he concluded.

    A clip from the show highlighted one such unexpected moment when Kandi’s aunt expressed their displeasure over their living accommodations at Bella Vista Estate ski resort in Colorado.

    Aunt Bertha was very vocal and told her niece that she’s mad because she was placed in the back while Kandi, Todd and her Mama Joyce had the front house.

    Another aunt, Nora, also chimed in and complained “that’s about twelve steps we gotta go up and down every time we come down over here.”

    “I’m the oldest somebody in here and I think I should have been considered in some kind of way,” she added.

    Fortunately, the 39-year-old Kandi didn’t have to worry about her Mama Joyce and her husband being at each other’s throats in such close quarters as her mom was surprisingly nice to Todd (probably because he just lost his mom).

    “She was there for him and was better to him, so their relationship was pretty cool,” she shared.

    It’s still unclear whether Kandi and Todd accomplished what they set out to do on this trip or if it made things worse.

  • Kandi Burruss Refers to Family as the Black ‘Beverly Hillbillies’

    Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta fame dished recently to Us Weekly about her thick southern accent, admitting that when she’s together with her family members that it’s even thicker.

    Burruss even shared that while watching an episode of her Bravo spinoff, Kandi’s Ski Trip, it reminded her of ‘the black Beverly Hillbillies.’

    “I am born and raised in Atlanta and I am very country and I have a definite accent, but when I get around my family, it gets worse! So I laughed so hard at points watching because it reminds me of the black Beverly Hillbillies,” she said.

    Kandi’s Ski Trip is a three-part series that features Kandi Burruss, her husband Todd Tucker, and their extended family, as they all travel to a Colorado ski resort to deal with some issues. Kandi Burruss said that her mother–Mama Joyce–was on her best behavior. Anyone who watches RHOA knows Mama Joyce doesn’t have much love for Todd Tucker. Still she managed to behave herself in Colorado–close quarters and all.

    “My mom was pretty good because before the trip we had just lost Todd’s mom, so she was being very nice to Todd,” Kandi Burruss said. “She was there for him and was better to him, so their relationship was pretty cool.”

    Mama Joyce spread a rumor during season six of the Real Housewives of Atlanta about Kandi Burruss’s friend Carmen having an affair with Todd Burruss. Of course, Carmen went along on the ski trip, too. Was Mama Joyce as nice to her as she was to Todd?

    No.

    “She has not talked to Carmen since before my wedding. It’s hard because Carmon and I are so close. It was important for me to get them back on the same page,” Kandi explained.

    Fourteen of Kandi Burruss’s family members went along on this ski trip to Colorado. Only two had ever attempted the slopes before.

    “The funny thing is, the show is called the Ski Trip, but it’s not really about the skiing! You don’t even really see that much skiing going on,” Kandi said. “It’s about the dynamics of these families.”

    Filming Kandi’s Ski Trip took more out of Kandi Burruss than filming The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    “Dealing with your family, it makes it much more emotional for me because you take everything to heart. When I have a thing with the ladies, it’s like whatever, but when I go through these things with my family, I really, really care about how they feel and making up with them,” she said. “It’s more of a serious issue with me. My family, they’re very open and they say anything in front of the camera–they don’t hold back–so you never know what they’re going to say. It’s very different from the ladies on Housewives!”

    Fans can check out Kandi Burruss in the first episode of Kandi’s Ski Trip. It airs tonight–Sunday, May 17th–on Bravo, at 8:00 p.m. ET.

  • Kandi Burruss Talks About The Two-Week Rule That’s Keeping Her Marriage Alive

    Making a marriage work is hard enough, but it’s a thousand times harder when your every move and decision is caught on camera and broadcasted to thousands of viewers.

    It’s a situation that Kandi Burruss and husband Todd Tucker understand only too well, but the couple seems to have finally found a nice compromise that will help their marriage.

    Fans of the Real Housewives of Atlanta know the struggles the couple faced during their first year of marriage.

    Aside from all the little adjustments that all newlyweds face, Kandi and Todd also had to deal with busy work schedules and their desire to have a baby.

    Todd dividing his time between home and his job on the West Coast caused numerous arguments, with Kandi expressing her fear several times that he was cheating on her. At one point, Kandi even suggested that they try marriage counseling to help deal with their issues.

    But despite their volatile first year as man and wife, Kandi and Todd stuck it out and appear to have found a way to keep their marriage going.

    What’s their plan? Never spend more than two weeks apart.

    The couple shared their new rule during an appearance on The Dr. Oz Show. According to Kandi, they agreed that they cannot be away from each other for more than 2 weeks.

    “It’s mandatory,” she told Dr. Oz. “One of us has to figure out how to get to the other within the two weeks.”

    The idea is a sound one. Studies have shown that while spending some time apart is beneficial to couples, spending quality time together is also necessary to form a bond that will get you through the ups and downs of life. There has to be a good balance between the two.

    It seems that things are finally looking up for the couple and they’re now focusing on bigger and better things, like an addition to their family as well as a reality TV spinoff.

  • Kandi Burruss And Tom Tucker: New Reality Show?

    Kandi Burruss is hoping that the third time will work out for her reality show spin-off aspirations.

    Kandi Burruss and her hubby, Tom Tucker, are reportedly working on a new reality show called Meet The Tuckers.

    Tom Tucker and Kandi Burruss have already supplied reality TV fans with plenty of laughs and drama since Burruss’ stint on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    In April of 2013, after RHOA, Kandi Burruss went on to The Kandi Factory wherein she and her team attempted to assist aspiring musicians in making their dreams come true.

    Kandi Burruss’ first attempt at solo reality TV only lasted a measly eight episodes.

    Interview day for another show! @latashawright & @sewjodie got my hair & makeup together! Thanks luvs! #StayWerking

    Posted by Kandi Burruss on Wednesday, March 25, 2015

    Then, in June of 2014, Kandi Burruss and Tom Tucker took the opportunity given to them by their own wedding to capitalize on her fame in a second attempt at solo reality TV success.

    Watching myself fall asleep during that yoga session was hilarious!!!! #RHOA

    A photo posted by Kandi Burruss (@kandiburruss) on

    In a five-part series of episodes which chronicled Kandi Burruss‘ wedding to Tom Tucker, Kandi’s Wedding showcased the two families as they became blended.

    That was family drama of a whole different kind. However, that drama is likely what gave Kandi Burruss and Tom Tucker a shot at their next reality TV show, Meet The Tuckers.

    This show will reportedly center around Kandi Burruss and Tom Tucker’s life as a married couple.

    Meet The Tuckers is rumored to have already been in production for a few weeks now and is set to take over the slot that will be vacant after this season’s Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    Will you watch Kandi Burruss in Meet The Tuckers?

  • Kandi Burruss of ‘Real Housewives’ Set to Star in ‘Meet the Tuckers’ With Hubby Todd Tucker

    Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and husband Todd Tucker have reportedly signed a deal for a new Bravo spin-off called Meet the Tuckers.

    The reports seem to be confirmed after Kandi Burruss posted a selfie on her Instagram account, with the reality star sitting in hair and makeup with the caption, “Interview day for another show!” However, that post has since been deleted.

    Bravo has not confirmed rumors of the new series.

    The spin-off will follow the Tuckers through their daily life as they deal with the pressures of building their own production company and handle some much-publicized family drama that seems to follow the couple wherever they go, which should please some fans.

    A perfect example of the drama fans can expect from the new series is a recent incident that happened on Real Housewives when a frustrated Kandi Burruss broke down as she faced her marital fears. In one episode, Kandi Burruss and Tucker are seen in a marriage counseling session, in which the couple share with the world their intimacy issues, due, which led Burruss to question her husband’s faithfulness.

    “The sex life done went downhill. I don’t know what happened. For a second, I was like ‘Are you cheating out there in LA? Like what is going on?” Burruss told the counselor.

    According to Todd Tucker, the issues stem from a prenup that turned out to be a big turnoff for Tucker.

    “I think there was a lot of change with the prenup,” he told their counselor. “It was just how it was dealt with. It was real dry. It was like she had no feelings. It wasn’t like, ‘I want to marry you, let’s talk this out, let’s figure it out.’”

  • Kandi Burruss Betrayed Phaedra Parks? Friendship Falls Apart On RHOA

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss might have bitten more than she could chew.

    With the cancellation of her play and the apparent meltdown of her friendship with RHOA co-star Phaedra Parks, Burruss became emotional and broke to tears during last night’s episode.

    “I had a lot going on at the time. Yes, I was upset about my play being canceled, but I also had some personal family things that I was dealing with as well. So I guess I was just extra emotional,” said the reality TV star.

    Burruss had the closest bond with Parks since the latter joined the show. Now Parks seemed aloof and brushed off Burruss’ problems telling Burruss she “had a business deal go awry, you’re still a millionaire. If money could make me sleep at night, I’d be sleeping like a baby.”

    Parks admitted to being disappointed that Burruss had not reached out to her when her husband, Apollo Nida, went to jail. She also felt betrayed when Burruss did not defend her when co-star Kenya accused Parks of having an affair. “I have a shortage of friends that I can count on to say I love you, I support you and I’m here for you,” Parks said.

    Burruss thinks that her friendship with Parks is yet to be mended. “I don’t know if they’re resolved or not. Obviously she doesn’t tell me when there is a problem. I guess only NeNe or Porsha knows. Or I’ll find out while watching the show. I just find it so crazy that she was confiding in them about how I’m not a good friend… Had the shoe been on the other foot, I would never have discussed our friendship with them before talking to her about it,” Burruss said, admitting that she is “irritated” seeing her once-bestie being closer to their other co-stars.  

  • Kandi Burruss: ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Star Talks Sex Life With Hubby Todd Tucker

    Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta admitted to a counselor that sex with her husband, Todd Tucker, needed improving. The two have only been married for about six months. What she admitted to a friend was even worse, however.

    According to RadarOnline, Tucker claims to never have completely recovered over Kandi Burruss asking him to sign a prenup prior to their marriage.

    The counselor sent both Todd Tucker and Kandi Burruss away from a recent session with homework. They were supposed to list the pros and cons of their relationship.

    Kandi Burruss recalled sex with Todd before they got married.

    “We used to sit in the car for hours kissing and I loved that. We don’t kiss like we used to!” she said.

    A photo posted by Kandi Burruss (@kandiburruss) on

    Todd thought the homework was ridiculous, and had his own ideas on how to salvage their marriage. He believes he and Kandi simply need “to go in a room and have sex … be spontaneous.”

    Maybe there’s a happy medium between that and the homework the counselor gave the couple?

    On Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Phaedra Parks asked Kandi Burruss how her ‘baby making’ was going. That brought even more about her sex life with Todd to light.

    “Girl, it ain’t going. I don’t think we’re having sex enough, personally. Our sex life sucks lately,” she said.

    Do you think a few more visits to the counselor can help Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker salvage their marriage? How do you suppose Todd felt when he heard Kandi tell Phaedra Parks that sex with him sucks? That’s not the kind of thing most men want to hear.

    It will be interesting to learn how this couple fares throughout the next few episodes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Do you think Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker will stay married or are their days as a couple headed down the tubes?

  • Kandi Burruss Now Has Beef With Phaedra Parks?

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta is no stranger to feuds. In fact, every episode focuses on the girls fighting and then trying to make up. And while it looks like the show is split into two camps with NeNe, Phaedra, Porsha on one side and Claudia, Kenya, and Cynthia on the other, one cast member seems to be caught in the middle of it all. Kandi Burruss is not only caught between the other cast members’ feuds, she’s also facing problems of her own. Her musical, A Mother’s Love, failed to take off, and on top of that, she’s also fighting with her mom.

    “Mom and I had been arguing a lot at that time, and I just felt that she never accepted any responsibility for being wrong. She always finds a way to make me the bad guy,” Burruss told BravoTV about her feud with her mother. “When she said I’ve changed and that I’m not there for my family, I was too through!” For Burruss, the reason why she doesn’t visit her mother is because she wants to avoid all the negativity. Because being in the middle of feuding reality TV stars is grueling enough as it is.

    In the same interview, Burruss also opened up about Phaedra Parks. Parks thinks that Kandi is siding with Apollo because he is good friends with Kandi’s husband, Todd. “I didn’t even know Phaedra had a problem with me like that,” Burruss said in the interview. “I have argued with Todd defending Phaedra. I have defended Phaedra when Apollo came around talking B.S. to everyone about their relationship. There have been plenty of times that I have taken up for Phaedra. No one can say that I have taken anybody’s side against her.”

    Despite the countless times the group attempted to make peace with each other, it looks like the fighting will never stop until they stop talking behind each other’s backs.

  • Kandi Burruss: ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Star Talks Feud With Phaedra Parks, Kenya Moore

    Kandi Burruss: ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Star Talks Feud With Phaedra Parks, Kenya Moore

    Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta fame spoke out recently about the feud between costars Phaedra Parks and Kenya Moore–and how she became part of it.

    “Honestly, I was just over it,” Kandi Burruss wrote in a recent Bravo blog. “Every time we all get together, there has to be some lame ass ‘tea’ spilled, and I’m just tired of it.”

    Kandi Burruss is, of course, referring to the ridiculous incident that took place on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, during which Phaedra Parks jumped across the table toward Kenya Moore, after accusations flew about Phaedra’s husband and about Phaedra cheating.

    “What tripped me out was hearing Porsha and Phaedra make me out to be the enemy because I left the table two seconds later than they did,” Burruss continued. “That just felt like they said, ‘Hey, we’re going to put Kandi in the middle of this drama in some way.’”

    It sounds like Kandi Burruss truly has had enough with the drama.

    “Well if Phaedra is really going to play into this whole ‘Kandi’s not my friend because she didn’t jump into my argument and run out the room faster than me,’ then OK… So be it,” she added.

    Kandi Burruss has also made news recently for another episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, during which she and her husband attend marriage counseling. It certainly sounds like Kandi’s marriage might already be over. The fact that a prenup was discussed prior to her marrying Todd Tucker definitely didn’t help matters any.

    Is Kandi Burruss just a mess of confusion these days? Between being dragged in to the feud with Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks and trying to work out her marriage–does the Real Housewives of Atlanta star need a break from the ‘reality’ she’s experiencing on this reality show?

  • NeNe Leakes Says She Won’t Reconcile With Cynthia Bailey Anytime Soon

    Real Housewives of Atlanta stars NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey haven’t been on good terms for quite some time now. And it seems the rift has driven a wedge to any potential reconciliation between the two. During a recent guest appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Leakes had a lot to say about her falling out with Bailey. “I feel like Cynthia is making it seem as if I’ve really done something to her,” NeNe told host Andy Cohen. “When I watch the show, I’m thinking, ‘Did I do something so horrible for someone that you have been really, good friends with? Did I do something so horrible to her?’”

    Cynthia and NeNe’s spat came to a head last season when NeNe called Cynthia’s husband a “b***h”. NeNe has since apologized to Cynthia for the incident, but the friendship between the two could never be repaired. In the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kandi Burruss organized a dinner so that all the feuding housewives could make peace with each other. Of course, the plan backfired.

    The dinner erupted into two sets of arguments, one between Phaedra Parks and Kenya Moore and the other between Cynthia and NeNe. “It would be nice for you guys to get back on speaking terms,” Kandi said. Cynthia responded, “She knows what it is. I know what it is.” She added, “I didn’t wake up one day saying, ‘I’m not going to be friends with NeNe anymore.’”

    An incensed Leakes then went on a tirade, saying, “You know I’m a good-ass friend. I get really heated like you’re some innocent person here. I’m the one who’s dumb, because I thought you was a real f–––ing friend. I never thought you would throw our friendship away. I had your back when no one else had your back.”

    However, in a preview for an upcoming episode, it seems that Cynthia is willing to repair their friendship. But based on NeNe’s comments to Andy Cohen, it seems reconciliation between the two is impossible at least for now.

  • Kandi Burruss Apologizes To Kenya Moore Over Sexting Scandal

    On the latest episode of Bravo’s hit reality program, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kenya Moore broke down and got emotional over the sexting allegations between her and Apollo Nida, the husband of her co-star Phaedra Parks.

    After Nida’s televised apology managed to sway fellow Housewife Kandi Burruss to Moore’s side, the two found themselves bonding over kickboxing practice and talking about the scandal. “I am going to do what I feel is right. It is wrong to have dissed this woman for two years, so I am going to apologize,” Burruss said to the cameras during her confessional moment.

    The Kandi Factory star told Moore about what the other Housewives thought about her which then catapulted Moore to an emotional outburst. Moore rushed to the gym toilet, broke down, and shoved away the cameras. The microphones continued recording the encounter and Moore was heard saying, “I am not the f***ing liar, that man is a criminal, clearly there is something wrong with him. I have not done anything to them to deserve the things that they do to me.”

    “They go too far, they are evil Kandi,” she added.

    Before the emotional moment, Burruss had a spa day with Nene Leakes, Porsha Williams, and Phaedra Parks where they continued to dish out their hate for Moore. Leakes believe that Nida lied about lying just to make his soon-to-be ex-wife Williams angry.

    Moore continues to struggle with the cold treatment that her fellow Housewives has given her. “I cannot win with these women. They want me to fail and to be painted as this crazy, horrible person. Why?”

    For two years, the Housewives had maintained a safe distance away from Moore after Nida’s affair allegations. Nida has been slapped with an eight-year prison sentence after pleading guilty for bank fraud and identity theft last May and is due to enter jail soon.

  • Kandi Burruss Talks Cynthia’s Temper, More RHOA Drama

    Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey have been friends for a while and like a good friend, Kandi defends Cynthia whenever she thinks she is being bullied or treated unfairly.

    On a recent episode of Real Housewives Of Atlanta, Cynthia got into an argument with Porsha Williams. As usual, Cynthia seemed pretty aggressive during the argument and came out looking like the bad guy.

    Kandi said that she thinks Cynthia was just misunderstood, as she often is during arguments. She claims that Cynthia gets very defensive and is quick to anger, causing her to lash out and say things that are out of line.

    “Cynthia is a sweet person, but I think people have called her a follower and have taken her kindness for weakness for so long that she just wants to let everybody know that she’s not weak. Therefore every time she feels the slightest bit of disrespect, she goes overboard trying to put that person in check. Now she comes off as this mean girl. It’s like she can’t win for losing — if she’s too nice, she’s weak, and if she’s too aggressive, she’s a b*tch,” Burruss revealed about her friend Cynthia.

    Cynthia’s bad attitude has cost her some friendships in the past and Ne Ne Leakes recently talked about her issues with Cynthia on the show while at the spa with Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks and Porsha Williams.

    “When we stopped talking, I missed her friendship,” Leakes said of Bailey about their reunion fight. “Now I’m over it. Cynthia is trying to make her mark. It really doesn’t look cute on her. I’m never gonna be friends with her again. Ever!”

    What do you think Cynthia needs to do to be understood better and to be able to speak her mind without losing friends?

  • Kandi Burruss Defends Comments: ‘The Justice System Is Harder On Black Men’

    Kandi Burruss recently stirred up a heap of drama following her racially-charged speech about Apollo Nida on the season premiere of the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    The soon to be ex-husband of her cast-mate and friend Phaedra Parks is currently serving an eight-year sentence.

    Nida was convicted of bank fraud, signalling a return to the criminal behavior he was previously jailed for prior to meeting Parks.

    Even though the man in question is a repeat offender, Kandi Burruss felt it necessary to share that he probably wouldn’t have received such a harsh sentence if he weren’t black.

    In response to backlash caused by her comments, Burruss used her RHOA blog to defend herself.

    Said Burruss, “Some people felt that I was pulling the race card when I said, ‘I feel the justice system is harder on black men.’”

    She explained that she hadn’t meant that Nida should avoid punishment and conviction for his bank fraud charges.

    “I don’t want you to think that I feel like Apollo only went to jail because he was black,” said Kandi Burruss. “I definitely feel that if you break the law, you should have to go to jail and do your time for the crime.”

    Instead, Kandi stated that she felt that the harsh nature of his sentence was indicative of inherent racial bias against black men.

    “For example, I have a family member who committed a non-violent crime and got 13 years in prison. He did his time, came home, and after a few years he committed another non-violent crime and now he’s serving over 20 years in prison. There are murderers and rapists who have gotten less time.”

    Kandi Burruss also believes that the treatment of felons and repeat offenders creates a vicious cycle that contributes to a higher recidivism rate.

    As for her relationship with Apollo Nida’s ex Phaedra Parks, Burruss admitted that she’s worried about how her fellow cast-mate feels about her comments.

    “It’s very hard. Phaedra is always assuming I’m siding with Apollo, which isn’t true. Todd and Apollo became pretty good friends, so I would say he takes Apollo’s side a lot.”

    Do you think Kandi Burruss “played the race card” or is there a legitimate point to her argument?

  • Kandi Burruss Addresses Pregnancy Rumors

    Kandi Burruss and her new husband Todd Tucker weren’t even down the aisle before pregnancy rumors started circulating.

    All summer, several media outlets speculated about the Real Housewives of Atlanta star being pregnant.

    Then, Todd only raised more speculation when he posted a picture of himself shopping for baby shoes.

    But, neither of them ever provided an explanation for the questionable post.

    So, the rumors continued. Now, she’s reportedly setting the record straight.

    According to Bravo TV, the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter spoke out about the rumors on the Russ Parr Morning Show.

    She revealed she’s been aware of the rumors. She just never got around to addressing them. But, she isn’t pregnant at the moment.

    “I have all this stuff going on. Once things happen and I’m blessed with the situation, I’ll figure it out. Don’t we all?” she said on the morning show. “As far as I know, we haven’t had any luck getting pregnant. I’ve been seeing people tweeting…but I haven’t confirmed that,” she said.

    However, she did reveal that she’d like to have a boy whenever she does conceive! Since she already has a 12-year-old daughter, her response is a bit surprising. But, she also gave an explanation for her preference!

    “I always wanted to have a son,” Burruss said. “With girls, you’re scared somebody’s going to take advantage of them or something. I just feel like boys are easier. You don’t have to worry as much.”

    Burruss went on to discuss the abrupt cancellation of her tour earlier this month. For those who don’t know, the reality TV star signed a theatrical tour deal to take her stage-play A Mother’s Love on the road. Unfortunately, the tour was cancelled due to problems with the promoter.

    “Everyone was so disappointed and upset. We got so many great reviews in that first week. The cast was disappointed; all our fans were disappointed,” she said.

    “Normally, Todd and I like to control everything…in this situation, we handed it over to a promoter. It’s like you’re giving your baby to somebody, and you realize they didn’t do right. Basically, he just wasn’t equipped to handle the tour.”

  • Kandi Burruss And Todd Tucker Ready For A Baby?

    Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are the epitome of a power couple.

    Not only are they dominating reality TV, but they’ve also found success on the theatrical stage with Kandi’s play A Mother’s Love.

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta star also has a successful sex toy line and a number of retail stores.

    While she and Tucker are extremely happy with the success of their thriving entrepreneurial ventures, there’s still one thing they have on their wish list – a baby.

    The pregnancy rumors began circulating shortly after they tied the knot back in April. However, by mid-summer, the rumors had become just a thing of the past – until a couple days ago.

    According to Radar Online, Burruss and the former ‘RHOA’ line producer were spotted looking at infant shoes for a baby boy. Tucker even posted a picture via Instagram of a pair of baby shoes he’d been shopping for.

    Of course, their shopping excursion immediately caught the attention of the media and now she’s rumored to be pregnant yet again. So is she?

    Tucker’s mom, Sharon, recently spoke with Radar to address the mounting rumors. “I think they want to get pregnant. I would love that,” she said. “And I’m pretty sure if she does get pregnant, she’ll announce it on the show.”

    Although the picture he posted definitely raised eyebrows, his mother insists they’re still in the early stages of family planning . “As far as I know, I don’t think Kandi is pregnant yet,” she said. “I think they would have told me. I’m sure they would tell me once they are.”

    However, she did admit that pregnancy is a possibility. But, unfortunately, she didn’t confirm if the allegations are true. “It’s been a few months now, so it is possible,” continued Sharon. “But they were just with me and they didn’t say anything.”

    Fans will just have to wait and see what happens!

  • Kandi Burruss Pulls a Chicken Van Halen

    Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss made news yet again recently when she and her husband, Todd Tucker, announced that they have landed a big production deal with Theatrical Works Live. The deal was a multi-million dollar bonanza for Burruss that would allow her to take her play A Mother’s Love on tour.

    “I’m excited to be able to partner with the amazing team at Theatrical Works Live to take A Mother’s Love on the road,” Burruss announced.

    “We worked extremely hard on our initial run of the show in Atlanta, and to be able to take it on the road and share it with people across the United States, is a feeling that is beyond words.”

    What seems to be raising more interest lately than the quality of the on-stage production of A Mother’s Love is the action backstage. Apparently Burruss is quite demanding when it comes to what she has backstage, and has a contract rider that is very specific.

    For example, the rider states that there has to be fried chicken in her dressing room. And not just any chicken — Popeye’s fried chicken. And don’t try slipping in any of the Colonel’s secret recipe, either. “Please do not substitute for KFC or Churches,” the contract states. “We know the difference.” However, though Burruss turns her nose up at KFC’s meat, she insists on their slaw.

    Other such demands include:

    – having a brand new toilet seat installed while her road manager or assistant looks on
    – an ample supply of Cottonelle toilet paper
    – plenty of Dove soap
    – a police escort to and from the venue
    – a black Mercedes Benz Sprinter

    Other stars have had famous contract riders, but the most famous by far was for Van Halen. For a long time it seemed to be urban legend that the band insisted on a glass bowl of M&Ms candies waiting for them backstage, but with all the brown M&Ms removed. Without that item, the band would not go on stage.

    But it turns out that the Van Halen rumor was true. Was it because they were divas? Hardly. The band says they had run into safety nightmares early in their career because their equipment needs specified in their contracts were not read through. So they buried little insistent items like the M&Ms in their contracts as a test to make sure venue and union management had read everything. If they arrived and saw no M&Ms, they knew it was likely that something had been skipped.

    Burruss’ tour begins September 4 in Columbus, GA.
