Kandi Burruss was called out for shading She By Sheree on the recent RHOA episode.

Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burruss is having an eventful season due to her ongoing feud with Marlo Hampton. As we reported, Marlo has been very critical of Kandi. Prior to the current season, she had a lot to say to Carlos King during an interview. She told him that she feels Kandi has been “coasting” on the show for years. And since Kandi is the highest-paid housewife, Marlo said she planned to apply pressure so Kandi would “work for her check.”

Marlo accused Kandi of not wanting to talk about the downs of her life. She also said that she was triggered by the Blaze Steak & Seafood shooting. Marlo’s nephew used to work at Old Lady Gang. According to Marlo, Kandi didn’t “acknowledge” his death. She later explained that while Kandi did offer condolences and a hug, Marlo wanted more like flowers and Kandi paying for the funeral.

Well, Marlo isn’t the only person who had a bone to pick with Kandi. The Bone Collector herself had an issue with Kandi during the recent episode. Sheree Whitfield didn’t like some of the comments Kandi made on her YouTube channel. Apparently, Kandi said she didn’t believe that the She By Sheree website crashed on its launch day. She also acknowledged that the man who designed the clothes for the fashion show alleged he wasn’t paid for his services. So he didn’t sign off on Sheree being able to sell the runway fashion on her website.

Sheree told Kandi that she could have hurt her business because she has a large following.

Kandi did end up apologizing to Sheree. And she did address the scene on the latest “Speak On It.”

As RHOA fans continue to be critical of the ratings, Kandi Burruss told her supporters not to fall for the hype.

She admitted that she holds back a lot when it comes to Sheree because she likes her. So she doesn’t want to say anything they won’t be able to come back from. However, Kandi said Sheree is being a bit hypocritical because she doesn’t mind shading everyone else’s businesses and projects. Plus, Kandi noticed that Marlo went in on She By Sheree and Sheree hasn’t called her out on it.

Marlo was also accused of hypocrisy. Kandi alleged that Marlo lied on the episode about not dating or being intimate in 4 years. She feels Marlo is the one who doesn’t show her real life on the show.

Kandi also addressed the social media chatter surrounding the ratings. Fans have said the numbers are very low. However, Kandi said they are doing well on Peacock.

“I really hope that you guys are enjoying the season. Don’t believe that mess – you know our ratings went up? Shout out to you guys, the viewers that are watching. I just want to say don’t believe the hype when people are like, ‘Oh, the ratings, the ratings, the ratings.’ They said that we are killing it on Peacock. Hey, our viewers just don’t like to sit home anymore. They like to catch it on streaming.”

She continued, “It’s fine. Thank you for your support, thank you for the love. I appreciate you in every which way you’ve been a supporter.”

  1. If producers are happy with the season, they’re very delusional and out of touch. RHOA and RHOP are both in a lot of trouble.

  2. I agree with you on the HWOA & HWOP. As a woman of color (Black), it’s sad to see the length that we need to take in order to earn a prosperous living. I like Sheree but she has carried the bone, gossiped and said things about a lot of ladies. Like Kandi suck D___k in the locker room for free. Sheree said that. We all know that without HWOA Sheree would not have been able to finish the Chateau. Instead of trying to win over the support of Kandi, Kenya and Drew, she would rather be on the miserable side and stick by Marlo. I guess she forgot how Marlo went off on her on one of the girl’s trips. Marlo is the kind of person who you share your life with and as soon as you do or say something that she doesn’t like, she will put all of your business on blast.

    Marlo is a sick, bipolar, low self-esteem (even with all of those clothes), jealous, envious and sick individual. She says that she attended some university but I guess they didn’t have an English class. She can’t even keep up with communication. That’s why she can’t stand Kenya. She would bang on a door while her daughter is asleep. I guess her psychotic brain didn’t play the tape out and think about how traumatic that type of noise can be to a child. I have lost all respect for Marlo. She is self-centered and her plight is to try and make everyone else look bad because of how she feels about herself. HURT PEOPLE, HURT PEOPLE = MARLO HAMPTON.

    Sheree will change without Marlo. Sheree is going to keep trailing along with Marlo until she bites her again and this time, it might not be so great.

    Best Wishes to these ladies. You’re business minded women, fashionable and intelligent. Unfortunately, young women are watching you and the only thing they are seeing is fashion and fighting.

    Good Luck & Do Better!

  3. I’m not even a Kandi fan but the way these girls keep picking at her and wanting a reaction is so weird to me.

  4. I think Kandi is trying to ” make it all better’ , but RHOA has been down in ratings for over 2 years, and there numbers are not picking up, alot of people are bored with the same ole mess, , no storylines, same arguments with same people, RHOA production knows there’s time for changeyou can’t keep doing the same ole, same ole and think people aren’t going to speak up, soon change will have come, just a matter of when.

  5. I strongly disagree with her about the ratings. The ratings are the lowest they have ever been. That should concern all of them, especially when other Bravo shows are still strong in live numbers. But I remember when the Married 2 Med girls tried to downplay their ratings drop. Notice they brought Phaedra in to fix things. RHOA will eventually do a cast shakeup if they know what’s best for them.
