Kandi Burruss Sets the Record Straight

On last night’s episode of “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Phaedra Parks may not have been present for Kandi Burruss and Porsha Williams’ mini showdown, but she had everything to do with the face-off.

And even now, Kandi is taking to social media to explain her side and defend her husband against Phaedra’s shade.

Kandi wants to make sure folks understand Todd knows how to make his own money and he doesn’t need her handouts.

She writes the following on Instagram after the episode aired:

In 2015 My husband @todd167 had 3 shows that he was executive producer on to air on 3 different networks. People lie but credits don’t. Check the credits! We’re trying to move past this petty bs about this workout DVD but it’s always tough to watch the drama play out today over things we’ve supposedly worked out already. I just want to make things clear for people who are watching this episode of RHOA. My husband is great at what he does & he’s been successful at it. People always talk shit on this show but I hate when they try to discredit him with lies. Let me just clear up something for y’all. Todd & Phaedra talked years ago when she was pregnant with Dylan about him helping her with production for her pregnancy DVD. He was doing it as a friend because he said they could do it way cheaper than the company she worked with on her 1st workout DVD. She approved the budget & she paid the first 2 payments but never paid the third for whatever reason. This was well before Apollo went to jail. Todd sent final invoice emails but there was just excuses & no payment. I told him not to worry about it & give her time. But now years have passed. You know how it is when you have a friend who owes you money but they come around with new shit all the time but never mentions your money… That’s why he was irritated. So to everyone who is coming at us in the chat box saying my husband waited for her husband to go to jail to ask for his money as if he was scared to ask, that is absolutely not true. He’s was asking long before. Just never got all his money. Simple…. And Todd was never being mean or disrespectful to her. He always remained cordial. The video was shot & finalized in 2013. She was suppose to give him the photo she wanted to put on the DVD menu & final payment back then…. It’s 2016 people. I hope this gives y’all some clarity. #NoShade #AllFacts

  1. Phaedra needs to go ahead and pay Todd what she owes. All these excuses are silly. Surely as an attorney she can afford to pay a few thousand dollars.

      1. So you’re just going to pretend like Kenya ain’t out here fronting with fake relationships and businesses on an everyday basis? LOL.

  2. I’m starting to think Kandi and Phaedra really won’t ever be close again. I’m kind of bummed about that to be honest. I did like their friendship.

  3. As far as I’m concerned, Phaedra was out of line to even go there about Todd. Especially when the only “job” Apollo had was stealing from people.

    1. But he knew Carlos King before Kandi did and Carlos is who he usually partners with to produce reality shows.

      1. I give him Hollywood Divas but Kandi Ski Trip and Reginae 16 because Toya and Kandi good friends he got on the strength of Kandi. I understand why Kandi came to her husbands rescue on that because Phaedra was dead wrong for what she said and I like Phaedra but she was wrong. But Todd is definitely benefiting from Kandi being his wife.

  4. Phaedra please pay this messy fool so he can stop gossiping like a bish . He should have gotten it from his bestie Apollo , since she payed over 30,000 of it . Apollo was a part of that deal too , yet ,Tod wants to be Apollo’s keeper and side against her . As for Kandi , she’s a bad friend and hypocrit .She went in on NeNe for being territorial and a selfish friend , but NeNe was there for Phaedra when she needed a friend the most . Kandi is also jealous of Porsha and Phaedra new bond too .

  5. Let me be clear Phaedra is wrong she should have paid Todd his money that’s not debatable. But nobody hands are clean in this situation. I understand Kandi riding for her husband but she still fails to address why didn’t Todd approach Apollo his close friend who he is still storing his stuff years ago. I don’t want to hear about this years later after Todd had multiple opportunities to confront Apollo and Phaedra. Now years have passed Apollo now in jail and now it’s such a priority to be paid 3 years later. Honestly I really don’t think this is about money but more about Todd siding with Apollo and Kandi following her husband’s lead. Would Todd ask for this money if Phaedra was still riding for Apollo I personally don’t think so. And where was this attitude with Kandi when Kim fleeced her a-s out of all that money girl bye.

    1. Todd had the emails and the invoices, he had been asking for his money for years! Even before Apollo got locked up. Kandi kept it under wraps for years, that’s why she was so angry with porsha b/c she knows the real phaedra, not the one she’s pretending to be.

      1. And I started off saying Phaedra was wrong and should have paid she obviously owes Todd. But while Todd sent those invoices why didn’t he talk to Apollo his close friend who he never stop hanging out with. My point is if it was so much of an issue why did he not go to her husband who happens to be his close friend instead of going through Kandi who is close to Phaedra a friend or her husband. Once he sent those invoices with no respond he should have addressed Apollo or hell even Phaedra sooner hell Todd the damn fool that let this go on for 3 years. I would not be hanging out with my friend all the damn time knowing her man owe me money without bringing it up nope. I still think the issue is deeper than money.

  6. Anyone notice how hot Kandi got when Porsha defended Phaedra though? I think Kandi will have a problem with anyone who gets tight with Phaedra. She’s jealous.

  7. I really can’t stand Phaedra and I don’t even understand how she has stans. Anyway she caused all of this by not paying Todd. As a lawyer, she knows how important it is to pay people what you owe them. And the way she tried to trash him and call him a male gold digger was ironic seeing as her husband is a full blown criminal who has never made money legally. Phaedra is a joke and I’m glad Kandi is starting to see her for who she really is.

  8. Todd and Kandi are phony…..Todd should’ve been tryna get his damn money fr Apollo as well when dude was out spending thousands in the strip club for no damn reason……then Todd and Kandi got this dude stuff keeping storage at they house??? Y’all want money so bad hand his shyt ova to his wife so she can pay off wut that. It’s crazy to me how they only mad at Phaedra when Apollo is just as guilty

  9. Kandi can’t stand it when people call Todd a gold digger. I will say he is out here trying to get his own money so I can’t knock it but Kandi def put him on.
