  • Kandi Burruss Dishes About Phaedra Parks Amid Her Husband Apollo Nida’s Jail Sentence

    Kandi Burruss’ close friend and Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star, Phaedra Parks, is going through a lot these days.

    On Tuesday, July 8, Parks’ husband Apollo Nida was sentenced to eight years in prison and five years probation for “for conspiring to commit mail, wire and bank fraud,” according to the States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia.

    Several media outlets reported Parks was not in attendance for her husband’s sentencing. It has also been rumored that the two have not lived together for months. So, many fans have wondered how Parks is dealing with her husband’s highly publicized legal woes.

    During a recent interview with Hollywood Life, Burruss revealed that surprisingly the high-profile celebrity attorney isn’t worried about Apollo Nida. The “Fly Above” singer shared a few details about her friend’s life, and why she doesn’t have time to focus on her reportedly estranged husband.

    “Phaedra’s doing great,” Burruss confirmed. “She’s basically working. That’s how I deal with things too; when I have a lot going on, I just put more into work,” she explained.

    The reality TV star confirmed that Parks is currently focusing her energy on the advancement and promotion of her book Secrets of the Southern Belle.

    “I know that she’s promoting her book and doing the book tour and stuff like that and she’s not really trying to focus as much on what’s happening,” she said. Parks definitely has a schedule between work-related priorities, taping for the upcoming season of Real Housewives of Atlanta and raising their two boys – Ayden and Dylan. So that would justify her lack of concern for her husband, right?

    Parks’ disappearing act for her husband’s sentencing has sent the rumor mill into high gear yet again. Now, rumors are circulating about the possibility of divorce. However, Nida hopes that Parks will stick by him during this difficult period in his life.

    Back in May, the 37-year-old reality TV star spoke candidly about his wife with well-known local radio personality Wanda Smith on Atlanta’s V-103. Although he seemed hopeful, it’s obvious he’s uncertain about the future of their marriage.

    “I think Phaedra, in a perfect world, should be supportive as a wife should be … But if she chooses to derail from the plan, then that’s what she chooses to do,” he said. “Whatever’s been thrown at me, I deal with it. I would like to say I would want her to stay around and do what a wife should do. But tomorrow’s not promised.”

    Do you think their marriage survive Nida’s prison sentence? Fans will have to wait and see how things turn out for Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida.

  • Apollo Nida Will Still Have To Deal With The Feds After Prison

    Apollo Nida, husband of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for fraud. According to recent reports, the federal government will be keeping an eye on Nida after he serves his eight-year sentence.

    Based on court documents, Nida will have to complete 100 hours of community service after his release. He also needs to cut his ties with all convicted felons and stay clear of places where alcohol and drugs are sold illegally. Furthermore, he is banned from carrying firearms and other weapons. He will also have to go to alcohol and drug treatment programs that he will need to pay for with his own money.

    Apollo Nida’s sentence discussed

    The final probationary rule set for Nida is that he has to pay $150 monthly in restitution. He will also be subjected to random audits, and he will have to disclose all his finances to the authorities.

    Amidst all this, Parks is keeping herself busy and staying positive. She was not present during her husband’s sentencing. Kandi Burruss, Parks’ co-star in Real Housewives of Atlanta, said that her friend is doing a good job coping with everything that is happening around her.

    “She’s basically working. That’s how I deal with things too; when I have a lot going on, I just put more into work. I know that she’s promoting her book and doing the book tour and stuff like that and she’s not really trying to focus as much on what’s happening,” Burruss said.

    Parks is busy promoting her book Secrets Of The Southern Belle: How To Be Nice, Work Hard, Look Pretty, Have Fun, And Never Have An Off Moment.

    There were also reports that Parks and Nida are having marital problems. Many are wondering if the couple’s relationship will survive while Nida serves his time. Parks is reportedly also concerned about her two sons Ayden and Dylan growing up without their father.

  • Kandi Burruss: Of Phaedra Parks And Prenups

    If you are wondering if Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks is crying into her pillow at night over the recent incarceration of husband Apollo Nida, then don’t.

    According to castmate Kandi Burruss, she is putting on a brave face and is “doing just fine” despite being in the midst of scandal.

    Hollywood Life got an exclusive word on the matter from Burruss, who is a good friend of Parks. The gossip site insists that if anyone knew the current state of mind of the RHOA star, it would be Burruss.

    “She’s basically working”, said Burruss.

    Burruss admitted that she understood how Parks felt, in that she too would throw herself into work when faced with stressful situations in life.

    “I know that [Phaedra Parks is] promoting her book and doing the book tour and stuff like that and she’s not really trying to focus as much on what’s happening.”

    Phaedra Parks’s husband Apollo Nida pled guilty to charges of bank fraud and identity theft. He was sentenced to eight years in jail on July 8th.

    Though Nida hopes wife Parks will “stand by him”, he admits that “tomorrow’s not promised”.

    Eight years is a long time and following the widely publicized scandal, it’s very possible that Parks may decide to move on.

    As for friend Kandi Burruss, she recently tied the knot with beau Todd Tucker.

    Some were skeptical about a wedding even happening since Burruss laid down one hell of a prenup. Eventually Tucker came around and the two lovebirds were married.

    The turn of events left Burruss’s mother “Mama Joyce” out in the cold. The Real Houswives star recently admitted that though the prenup nightmare is now behind her, sadly she and her mother are currently estranged and not speaking to each other.

    Apparently Burruss’s mother does not like or approve of Tucker or his family.

  • Kandi Burruss Shares Details About Her Ironclad Prenup

    Kandi Burruss will stop at nothing to protect her wealth and all that she has amassed over the years.

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta star refuses to risk losing any of her assets – not even for the love of her now-husband, Todd Tucker.

    During a recent interview with The Grio, Burruss shared her perspective of women who are financially stable and how they should protect themselves, regardless of love. Although no one goes into marriage anticipating divorce, it does happen.

    “You don’t get to see it a lot… where a woman is in financially better off than the husband,” Kandi said. “You have to protect yourself.”

    “Y’all know how divorce happens out of the blue to people that we thought we couldn’t believe they got divorced. So you have to be ready for a mad day,” she continued.

    “People can work things out and talk about how we wanted things to be when we’re on the same page, but when we get mad people want to hurt each other. How they want to hurt you? In your pocket. You not gonna be goin’ for mine.”

    Burruss opened up about the prenup, following the third episode of her wedding special, which aired on Sunday, June 29. The now-married couple quickly became a trending topic all over social media sites after Tucker’s refusal to sign the prenup.

    Despite his resistance to signing the papers, the “Fly Above” singer clarified that Tucker has no problems with the terms of their agreement. He also has no reservations about splitting any money they make together.

    “I feel like we should work together to make money together,” Burruss said. “The things that I’m trying to protect are the things that I had going into the marriage, meaning: Bedroom Kandi, my music, my stores, my properties and different things that I had going into the marriage.”

    The 38-year-old reality star went on to share one of her main reasons for proposing such an ironclad prenup – the possibility of spousal support. She also spoke of other celebrities embroiled in legal battles with their estranged exes all because prenups weren’t in place for their financial protection.

    “I’m not paying spousal support, oh no,” she said. “I’m seeing too much going on right now. Halle Berry’s paying $20,000 a month in child support, and then poor Sherri [Shepherd], she had a prenup and now [her husband, John Sally] is coming after her for spousal support. They’ve only been married a few years.  Are you kidding me?”

    Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker’s Coming to America-themed wedding ceremony aired on Sunday, July 6 at 8/7c on Bravo. For those who missed it, the wedding ceremony airs again on Tuesday, July 8 at 7:30/6:30c, only on Bravo.

  • Kandi Burruss Marries Todd Tucker; He Signed The Prenup

    Kandi Burruss Marries Todd Tucker; He Signed The Prenup

    On Sunday night’s finale of Kandi’s Wedding, Kandi Burruss finally tied the knot with fiancé Todd Tucker. The wedding almost didn’t happen because of a prenuptial agreement, which was finally signed by Tucker.

    The wedding ceremony happened in April, but fans patiently waited for the finale to see all the drama that happened backstage.

    During the wedding rehearsal, Tucker stormed out because he thought the prenuptial agreement was unfair. One of the conditions in the agreement stated that in the event of their separation, Tucker would have to leave Burruss’ home in 30 days. “This prenup is some bu*****,” he said.

    Kandi Burruss talks about the prenup

    Joyce, the bride’s mother, also expressed her disapproval of Kandi marrying Tucker. “He’s looking for a payday!” she said after Tucker refused to sign the prenup.

    How she knew he was ‘the one’

    On Sunday’s episode, however, Tucker made up with Burruss. He agreed to sign the prenup with the help of one of the producers of the show. However, he only agreed to sign after some changes were made. Tucker gave up all his rights to community property and alimony. The clause regarding the 30-day rule was also changed. “I proved once and for all I’m in this relationship because I love Kandi, not because I want her money,” Tucker said.

    Fortunately for Burruss and Tucker, Mama Joyce did not stop the wedding. “She didn’t really say nothing. She messed up a lot of pictures. But I feel as long as she didn’t start saying anything, I was okay,” Burruss said.

    Mama Joyce also made a toast during the wedding and said “Todd, I hope you continue to make her happy as she is tonight.”

    Tucker said the energy during the wedding “was bad,” however, the guests just ignored it. Now, three months after the wedding, Tucker said “we’re taking it day by day,” referring to his relationship with Mama Joyce.

    Marital problems already?

  • Kandi Burruss Wedding Clip Reveals Pre-Nup Fight with Todd Tucker

    Kandi Burruss’ wedding special has received highly lauded reviews. The special, which chronicles the events that led up to Burruss’ wedding on April 4 has definitely been a fan favorite!

    According to US Weekly, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s ratings have already been through-the-roof, but media outlets project that the show’s viewership may peak when the wedding airs Sunday night.

    But why? Well, it has everything to do with Burruss’ proposed pre-nuptial agreement for her new hubby, Todd Tucker. Several media outlets reported that Tucker was quite displeased with the terms of the agreement and refused to sign it.

    Of course, that didn’t go over well with Burruss’ mother, Mama Joyce. However, Burruss also seemed a bit miffed by her now-husband’s disapproval and apprehension. The entire debacle reportedly caused the wedding to be delayed for several hours since Tucker refused to sign the papers.

    Now, Bravo has released a sneak peek so fans can get a preview of the drama that’ll unfold on national television tomorrow night. Needless to say, things got pretty heated!

    “You can’t be mad at me for dealing with my lawyer and he has concerns,” Tucker explained. “Is this s–t personal or is it just business?” he added. “How is it personal to say you get what you get and I get?” Kandi responded. Tucker went on to point out one of his main concerns. That’s when the argument began to escalate. “If we don’t work out, I have to get out of the damn house in 30 days? How do I  get out of the house in 30 days?”

    “Todd can say whatever he wants about it not being about the money [being] why he doesn’t like the prenup,” Kandi said to the camera. “But meanwhile, his attorney is [the one] sending notes and all those notes are about money!”

    Ironically, Burruss’ statement is exactly what her mother has been concerned about all along. Mama Joyce has verbally expressed that she feels her new son-in-law is an opportunist trying to get his hands on the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter’s money.

    “So you think you should get some of my money?” Kandi asked Todd. “I don’t  want your f–king money … I don’t think there’s gonna be no wedding,” said Todd.

  • Kandi Burruss Marries Despite Mama Joyce’s Warnings

    Kandi Burruss has been warned.

    Despite voiced trepidations by her mom — known to the world as Mama Joyce — Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss married former producer Todd Tucker on Friday.

    Mama Joyce has told her daughter repeatedly she believes Tucker is using her and even accused him of sleeping with Burruss’ assistant Carmon.

    When Tucker refused to sign a prenup, it only seemed to confirm her worries.

    The 37-year-old reality star refused to listen to her mama and went forward with the wedding in spite of all the warnings.

    Despite reservations, Mama Joyce did attend the wedding and even offered the newlyweds a beautiful toast in front of family and friends at a reception following the wedding.

    The feud between Mama Joyce and her daughter over her son-in-law’s true intentions has played out on the Bravo show. Tucker tried to work things out with Mama Joyce, having numerous conversations on the show with his future mother-in-law.

    At one point, he asks Mama Joyce if she’s getting excited about her daughter’s wedding.

    Her response was a definitive NOT.

    Todd asked Mama Joyce why it has to be so difficult to communicate. “If it’s ‘Todd, I’m probably never going to like you,’ I can live with that. I didn’t stop liking you, I stopped respecting you,” she responded.

    “They’re together, but I’m out of their relationship,” Mama Joyce said in January. “It’s much healthier. I have rekindled a very healthy relationship with my daughter, and my granddaughter [Riley], and we are in a very good place…I pray and hope that I’m wrong about Todd.”

    The feud has even played out on shows like The View.


    Burruss is a Grammy-winning singer and songwriter and a former member of R&B group Xscape.

    The couple became engaged last January after meeting on the show in 2011.

    Burruss was engaged once before to the late A.J. Jewell, who was killed in a bar fight in 2009. She has an 11-year-old daughter, Riley, with ex-boyfriend Russell Spencer of Block Entertainment. This is the first marriage for both of them.

    What do you think? Will the marriage last?

  • Kandi Burruss Shows Off Body After Fat Comments

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta stars have been known for their continuous drama. However, when Kenya Moore made her latest comment on Kandi Burruss’ weight, Kandi decided to take it upon herself to prove that she has a sexy body, with a series of photos on Instagram.

    During the December 22 episode, the wives took a mini vacation to a bed and breakfast. Upon arriving, Kandi rushed upstairs to find, and claim, the best room. That is when Kenya decided to take a jab at her. “I don’t know what got into Kandi,” she said. “Maybe she smelled some Chick-fil-A or a burger upstairs.”

    After receiving backlash from the fans for her comments, Moore decided to issue an apology to Kandi. “I made a wise crack. Kandi knows I think she has a great figure, so I’m sure she laughed as we have together about the 5-10 pounds she wants to lose,” she said. “I’m not a tiny girl myself, and I appreciate a woman with curves. I won Miss USA at 128lbs and I’m now a healthy 145-150lb at 5’10,” Kenya continued. “As women, we know 5lbs is everything to us, but I simply encourage all women to be healthy. My best selling workout DVD Booty Boot Camp is available worldwide on Amazon.com.”

    Rather than commenting on the apology, Kandi and her children took a trip to the beach over Christmas vacation, and while she was there, she decided to snap some pictures to show Kenya that she isn’t the least bit overweight.

  • Kandi Burruss Shows Off Sexy Figure On Instagram

    The women of Real Housewives of Atlanta have been known to throw some low blows, and when Kenya Moore continuously called Kandi Burruss fat, most viewers waited to see a cat fight. To the surprise of many, Burruss took the high road and instead of throwing the first punch, she snapped the first pic.

    On a recent trip to the beach over Christmas break, Burruss decided to pose for a few pictures in her swimsuit, letting Moore know just how much she cares about her comments. Burruss seemed to appear happy and healthy and full of self-confidence. She even posted her photos on Instagram.

    Moore may have thought she was being funny when she made the cracks on Burruss’s weight, but fans didn’t find them too funny and many of them expressed their disgust and disappointment for Moore on social networks like Twitter and Facebook.

    Moore decided she needed to do some back peddling to save her image and apologized saying, “I made a wise crack. Kandi knows I think she has a great figure, so I’m sure she laughed as we have together about the 5-10 pounds she wants to lose.”

    Burruss didn’t comment on Kandi’s apology, but her photos seem to say it all. She is clearly not ashamed of her figure and has no problem showing it off on the beach or on Instagram.

    Do you think Moore’s apology was sincere and what do you think of Burruss’s beach photos?

  • Kandi Burruss Shares Bikini Picture After Kenya Moore Slams Her Weight

    Although Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss may never admit it, she definitely feels a bit flustered by co-star Kenya Moore’s proverbial jabs at her weight.

    However, she doesn’t necessarily have to give a verbal admission, as her actions are telling the story. Here’s the gist of it.

    While last night’s new episode picked up where things left off last week with the ladies still visiting Savannah, GA, Moore’s comedic banter about Burruss’ weight didn’t begin there.

    According to E! News, it actually started a couple weeks ago. On Dec. 22, the show featured the ladies checking into the bed and breakfast in Savannah. Upon arrival, Burruss made a deft beeline to claim the largest available suite.

    Moore’s explanation for Burruss’ behavior was, of course, a low blow to her weight. “I don’t know what got into Kandi,” the model-actress said. “Maybe she smelled some Chick-fil-A or a burger upstairs.”

    However, this wasn’t Moore’s first time blatantly insulting Burruss about her weight. In the Dec. 15 episode, Moore said that Burruss could “skip a few meals” when the ladies stopped at Chic-fil-A.

    So, it appears she wanted to make an indirect response to her statements with her recent Instagram posts.

    While on Christmas vacation, the Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter took to Instagram with a bikini picture flaunting her curves. The picture, which was posted on Christmas day, shows Burruss and her daughter Riley on the beach.

    The caption next to the picture read, “Yesterday at the beach! @rileyburruss @kpt__#FunInTheSun”.

    Although the picture looks like a totally innocent captured moment between Burruss and her daughter, it isn’t the first image the “Fly Above” singer has posted showing off her curves. On Dec. 19, there was yet another Instagram picture that was posted.

    That picture was a direct response to Moore’s jabs. Following Burruss’ Wednesday night web show Kandi Koated Nights,  she posted a full body image after receiving a number of questions in regards to her feelings toward Moore’s statements.

    The Instagram picture was posted with a caption that stated her response.

    It read, “Last night on the chat box for #KKN people wanted me to say how I felt about what @kenyamoore said on last week’s episode of #RHOA…. Well she says I need to miss a few meals but I say Im fabulous! Gone wit the wind fabulous, Gone wit the wind fabulous…. (In my @kenyamoore voice) LMAO! #IDontCareWhatSheSays #YesMyThighsAreBigSoWhat #IWillLoveHerAnyway #ILoveMe #IRepresentTheCurvyGirls #NoImNotASize2 #IwillGoOnADietAfterTheHolidaysButForNowIWillJustBeHappyAsIAm”.

    Although it’s obvious Moore may have gotten under her skin, it doesn’t look as though her level of confidence has been sacrificed. Does it?

  • Kandi Burruss Shows Off Body After Kenya Moore Backlash

    Kandi Burruss shared some photos of her time at the beach recently, showing off her curves in a bathing suit that left little to the imagination.

    The 37-year old star of “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” has taken some criticism about her body recently, both from fans and from her costars; Kenya Moore took a jab during a recent episode of the show, when the ladies took a trip to a bed and breakfast and Burruss ran upstairs to claim a room.

    “I don’t know what got into Kandi,” she said. “Maybe she smelled some Chick-fil-A or a burger upstairs.”

    That didn’t go over well with Burruss’ fans, who took to social media to call Moore out for her body-bashing. Moore promptly took to her blog on BravoTV.com to smooth things over.

    “I made a wise crack,” she wrote. “Kandi knows I think she has a great figure, so I’m sure she laughed as we have together about the 5-10 pounds she wants to lose.”

    Burruss posted several photos to Instagram which seem to be a bit of retaliation after Moore’s comments.

  • Kandi Burruss Defends Mama Joyce, Talks Todd Tucker Drama

    Last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was definitely one for the record books. However, most of the controversy wasn’t derived from any of the housewives. The drama award for Sunday night goes to none other than Kandi Burruss’ mother, ‘Mama Joyce’.

    It’s definitely quite blatant that the Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter’s mother feels some kind of way, and the crux of the problem is Burruss’ fiance’, Todd Tucker. Now, for those who are avid fans of the Atlanta Housewives, it’s no secret that Mama Joyce isn’t one to hold back her opinion.

    She and Burruss’ have been at odds all season where the wedding plans are concerned as her mother is adamant about her disapproval of Tucker.

    Like most mothers, Mama Joyce is very protective of her daughter, with no intention of hiding any disdain, which is why she flew off the handle last night. For those who missed it, Mama Joyce and Burruss’ close friend Carmen got into a rather heated verbal altercation when she went to try on wedding dresses.

    Mama Joyce is under the distinct impression that Carmen has a high level of underlying jealousy where Burruss is concerned. She also hinted that rumors of Tucker’s alleged infidelity have been brought to their family by Burruss’ employees. But, here’s the kicker. It’s rumored that Tucker is secretly involved with Carmen.

    So, Mama Joyce definitely had no interest in entertaining the likes of Carmen. She also had no qualms about sharing her disapproval of everything with Burruss, and fans were appalled with the brash delivery of her message.

    So, when Burruss appeared on Watch What Happens Live, with R&B singer Fantasia, a burning question was asked. In so many words, a caller asked was Mama Joyce’s disapproval of her engagement about money? The caller wanted to know if her mother felt threatened by Tucker’s presence because she’d no longer have access to her money.

    According to S2S Magazine, the question caused Burruss to erupt, and she tearfully took the liberty of facing the issue dead-on in her mother’s defense.

    “I feel like as her daughter, it’s my job to make sure that she’s good. She made sure I was good growing up. I’m going to make sure that she’s good. I don’t care if she doesn’t like my relationship,” said Burruss tearfully.

    “That’s my mom. I don’t care what y’all have to say. That’s my mom. I’mma make sure that my mama’s good. She don’t have to talk to me. She don’t have to say anything to me,” explained Burruss. “Y’all can tweet. Y’all can do whatever…You can tweet to y’all get blue in the face. She can have whatever she want.”

    “I’m not agreeing with everything my mother says. Obviously, we disagree on a lot of things. It’s just the fact of I’m going to be respectful in the way that I tell her. No, she’s not respectful in the way she tell me how she feels,” she explained. “When I became the person who made more money, it did not make me her mama. She’s still my mama. I’m going to approach her in a certain way.”

    Burruss also addressed the status of her relationship with Tucker. The two are still engaged with plans to marry.

  • Kandi Burruss May Have Trouble In Paradise

    Real Housewives fans were happy to have their Atlanta ladies back.

    On Sunday, Season 6 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta premiered, giving just a glimpse of what has been happening since last we saw the ladies.

    One surprise for many, including RHOA star Kandi Burruss, is the rumor her fiance, Todd Tucker, has been cheating. In a trailer for Season 6, Burruss’ mother, Mama Joyce, informs her that she heard rumors that Tucker has been out and about, cheating on Burruss.

    In the video below, around the 1:30 mark, you see Mama Joyce broach the subject of the cheating rumors. She tells both Tucker and Burress that she’s heard he’s been stepping out with Burruss’ friend Carmen.

    Now it’s a well-known fact that Mama Joyce is not a fan of Tucker, and she believes he is only with Burruss for personal gain. Burruss has tried and tried to convince her mother otherwise, but Mama Joyce still believes he isn’t worth Burruss’ time.

    Burruss’ response to her mother’s allegations of Tucker being an opportunist, “I wrote ‘No Scrubs’.’” (Burruss is the famous writer of the hit TLC song.)

    But is there any truth to the rumor? Burruss’ RHOA costar, Cynthia Bailey, believes it could just be other women wanting what Burruss has. “I think that when you are a successful woman and you have a lot going on, other women are attracted to your man. They’re like, ‘If you want him, maybe I should want him. It’s just the way it is. It’s only a matter of time before there are rumors that get out that say, ‘Oh, so and so said that she was with your man. We all go through that,” said Bailey.

    Bailey also believes Burruss should talk it out with Tucker before making any rash decisions. Bailey said, “The best advice I can give to Kandi and to anyone who has been phased with cheating rumors — because I’ve certainly been the victim of it as well — is to just ask the questions. Ask your man what’s going on and just kind of move on.”

    And in this world of social media and everyone seeking their 15 minutes of fame, it may be a bit hard to believe that Tucker is cheating on Burruss. Added Bailey, “That’s the beauty of social media: I would get that tweet in two seconds, so it’s kind of hard for these guys to really stray. Because usually the girls that would stray with a married man, or a committed man, they’re going to tell somebody.”

    So maybe, just maybe, this is just a rumor. Only time will tell.
