Kandi Burruss is keeping things honest when it comes to her post-divorce future with Todd Tucker, and fans are reading between the lines.
The former The Real Housewives of Atlanta star recently appeared on Amazon Live, debuting a sleek new bob with bangs for 2026 while answering questions from viewers. One question in particular stood out: whether she believes she and Todd could be friends after their divorce.
“Yes,” Burruss answered immediately, before pausing mid-thought.
“I think after a divorce, I think anybody should be able to … hopefully…” she said, stopping herself and looking directly into the camera. “Don’t get me started lying,” she added with a laugh.
Kandi then clarified where she truly stands.

“I hope we can be friends,” she said. “That’ll be my goal. But you know, I think when you’re going through the divorce, people get on your nerves. And you really start looking at them differently. So that’s why I’m hoping that we can make it through unscathed.”
While Burruss’ tone was light, longtime Bravo viewers know her relationship with Todd has always sparked discussion — and, at times, concern.
Kandi and Todd Tucker met behind the scenes of RHOA, where Todd worked as a producer. Their romance played out on camera, culminating in a lavish wedding and multiple spin-offs centered on their blended family and business ventures.
But from early on, eyebrows were raised — especially by Kandi’s inner circle. Her mother, Mama Joyce, was vocal about her distrust of Todd, repeatedly questioning his intentions and finances. Over the years, viewers watched tension build as Todd pursued various business ideas with Kandi, some of which became major storylines on the show.
Despite the criticism, Burruss consistently defended Todd publicly, emphasizing their partnership, shared parenting, and work ethic. Together, they built restaurants, production companies, and expanded Kandi’s already massive brand empire.
Still, cracks in the foundation became harder to ignore in later seasons, with fans pointing to communication issues, conflicting priorities, and visible strain between the two. When news of their divorce broke, many Bravo viewers admitted they weren’t entirely surprised.
That context is what made Kandi’s Amazon Live comments resonate — especially her admission that divorce can change how you see someone.
“And you really start looking at them differently,” she said.
As of now, neither Kandi nor Todd has shared details about what led to the split, nor how their co-parenting and business ties will be handled long-term. But Kandi’s comments suggest she’s realistic about the road ahead — hopeful, but not naive.
Jeff Lewis isn’t holding back when it comes to his thoughts on Gina Kirschenheiter.
The radio host recently weighed in on the Real Housewives of Orange County star during a segment on Jeff Lewis Live, shortly after news broke that Gina got engaged to Travis Mullen during a ski vacation.
While discussing the Real Housewives of Orange County, Jeff made it clear he has strong feelings about why Gina continues to remain on the cast.
“So Kelly and I had the same conversation this weekend,” Jeff said, referring to former RHOC star Kelly Dodd.
Jeff then explained why he thinks Gina continues to be protected by producers, and it wasn’t exactly a compliment.
“I believe it’s that she will do whatever the producers tell her to do,” he said. “She’s their little robot, so she’ll stir up sh*t, she’ll bring something up. She’ll do whatever.”
According to Jeff, that willingness to play along is exactly why Gina remains on the cast, even as fans continue to question her authenticity.
“I mean, I think she’s one of the most inauthentic, people on the show because I think she’s literally doing what the producers are asking her to do,” he continued.
Jeff wrapped up his assessment by suggesting Gina’s loyalty to production all but guarantees her job security.
@just_bookin_around When he says Kelly I believe he’s referring to Kelly Dodd and I assume she has the same thinking as Jeff in regards to Gina. What do you think? Is she teacher’s pet? ?: Jeff Lewis Live, January 5 ?: BravoTV #fyp #bravo #bravotv #peacock #l ? original sound – Just Bookin’ Around
“So I mean, she’s teacher’s pet. They’re not gonna get rid of her.”
Jeff’s take may not be far off, at least according to a growing number of viewers online. Across Reddit threads and posts on X, fans have repeatedly complained that Gina brings little to the show, calling her storylines thin and accusing her of acting more like a mouthpiece for production than an authentic cast member.
Many viewers argue that her role often feels forced, with some saying she stirs drama without having much of her own, fueling the perception that she’s still around because she plays along rather than because she delivers compelling television.
Monica Garcia is not done stirring the pot.
The former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star recently raised eyebrows after sharing a video filmed in her kitchen. In the clip, Monica casually fixes her hair before breaking into a dance. But the real message had nothing to do with the choreography and everything to do with the on-screen text.
“When everyone wants to accuse Meredith of being an alcoholic, but she wasn’t the one that was taken away in an ambulance to the ER for alcohol poisoning,” the text read. “And demanded the footage never be shown and cast stay locked in their rooms while she got wheeled to get her stomach pumped. ‘Allegedly.’”
Naturally, speculation took off almost immediately. Fans began guessing who Monica could be referring to, with many pointing fingers at Heather Gay or Whitney Rose. But Monica wasn’t about to leave it there.
Following the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season finale, where viewers felt the group was projecting onto Meredith Marks and framing her as if she had an issue, Monica doubled down on Instagram with even more pointed accusations.
“we ready to talk about how worried you were that people would possibly find your coke stash in your suitcase at BravoCon? Or are we still playing it like others have the substance abuse problems?” she wrote.
She then added, “its not about the coke, it’s about the hypocrisy.”
While Monica didn’t name names, the timing and tone made it clear she wasn’t backing off. And with Salt Lake City already known for its off-camera drama, it seems the mess is far from over.
Eddie Judge Says Watching Joe Gorga and Teresa Giudice Reconcile Changed His View on Vicki Gunvalson
Eddie Judge is weighing in on Real Housewives of Orange County casting drama and surprisingly, he sounds ready to move on.
Tamra Judge’s husband reacted to news of Vicki Gunvalson’s return to RHOC during the Tuesday, January 6 episode of iHeartRadio’s “The Ed’s” podcast, where he reflected on grudges, forgiveness, and the reality TV world in general.
“What I learned, particularly from my interview with Joe Gorga about him and his sister [Teresa Giudice] talking again, I realized that we do live in the world where you just don’t need enemies,” Eddie said while discussing Vicki’s season 20 comeback. “What she did, she did on the show, and what she did to me really wasn’t that big a deal.”
Eddie’s comments come years after his issues with Vicki played out publicly. Back in 2017, Vicki hosted a gathering with Gretchen Rossi, Lizzie Rovsek, and Kelly Dodd where accusations surfaced that Eddie could be gay, claims he has repeatedly denied.
While Eddie brushed off what was said about him, he admitted that wasn’t the part that bothered him most.
“What I really was bothered with is how she treated you,” Eddie told his guest cohost and wife, Tamra. “And again, it’s a TV show. … But when you’re fighting, you’re fighting like sisters.”
Despite the messy history, Eddie made it clear he’d prefer to see the longtime RHOC frenemies find their way back to a lighter place.
If he had his way, Tamra and Vicki would be able to have fun together again, while he spends time with Vicki’s boyfriend.
“At the end of the day, it does help that I like Mike. Mike’s a cool cat. I really, really like Mike,” Eddie said, referring to Michael Smith. “At the end of the day, you got to forgive, forget and move on.”
Bravo has yet to officially announce the full cast for season 20 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, but Vicki Gunvalson’s return has already been confirmed, setting the stage for what could be another complicated chapter in Orange County history.
Bronwyn Newport is opening up about where things truly stand with Lisa Barlow, and while she frames the fallout as deeply hurtful, the situation appears far more complicated than a simple case of being blindsided.
During Bravo’s After Show for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Bronwyn revisited the moment she says changed everything between her and Lisa, claiming she was shocked by how dismissive Lisa appeared to be at last year’s reunion.
“So Lisa and I left the reunion last year, and I thought we were much closer than she was making out to be on camera in front of the women,” Bronwyn said. “So to have her say to me in New York, you know I never knew you, I never cared about you. You were never important to me. That was new information that I was processing in front of everyone watching at home and it was really hurtful.”
But when viewers look back at the reunion itself, Lisa’s actual wording was notably more measured. At the time, Lisa said, “I enjoy Bronwyn, but it was definitely more of a social friendship.”
Still, Bronwyn insists she was invested in building something deeper, even after feeling publicly minimized.
“I did want a relationship with Lisa Barlow up until that point,” she explained, referring to the reunion. “And I think you see throughout the season that I kind of try. I was like Goldilocks, trying.”
That effort, according to Bronwyn, quickly turned combative, a shift she now acknowledges wasn’t authentic to who she is, even as she defends why she reacted the way she did.
“And first she fought back saying, ‘If I don’t mean anything to you, I guess you wont care if I bring up your lawsuits or if I tell you I think youre a liar, you know? Whatever,’” Bronwyn said. “And it’s not natural to me to fight that way and I do apologize. You see me just kind of say we’re just going to be civil. And I realize oh we’re not going to be civil, she is going to bring up my daughter and this really sensitive thing that I’ve specifically told her is hurtful to my child, is hurtful to my family. Please stay away from, you would not want this for your husband.”
Bronwyn went on to describe feeling targeted not just by Lisa, but by others joining in, something she says crossed an unforgivable line.
“Hearing her talk about my daughter and then Angie piling on and Todd too, she’s been saying this about Todd and a friend of hers. You know?”
When asked where she stands with Lisa today, Bronwyn made it clear there is no relationship, and suggested the door has been firmly shut on Lisa’s end.
“I do not speak to Lisa. I mean, it would be hard for me to speak to Lisa,” she said before laughing. “I believe she has me blocked on everything. I don’t know, that’s the impression I get because people have to like screenshot negative comments, she says about me. I don’t actually see them in person, so I believe, I’m blocked on everything.”
But it was what happened after filming wrapped that seemed to cement Bronwyn’s feelings, and raised eyebrows given how far things had already gone onscreen.
“I did not hear from her when my father passed,” Bronwyn shared. “My dad passed after filming and I heard from everybody on the cast no matter where I stood with them at the end of filming, with the exception of Lisa. If you dont have sympathy for somebody who’s unexpectedly lost a parent, I’m really meaningless to you. And I don’t have people in my life who treat me that way.”
While Bronwyn frames the silence as proof of how little she mattered to Lisa, the timeline tells a more layered story — one that includes public insults, deeply personal accusations, and a level of escalation that made reconciliation unlikely long before the blocking ever happened.
Andy Cohen may have been reflecting on New Year’s Eve, but his comments quickly veered into familiar territory, and longtime viewers immediately picked up on what sounded like pointed shade toward Bethenny Frankel.
While discussing his CNN New Year’s Eve hosting gig on the January 5 episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, the Watch What Happens Live host admitted he went scrolling to see what people were saying online. “I went on TikTok just to see what the kids were saying about New Year’s Eve,” Andy said. What he didn’t expect, apparently, was how quickly one familiar face would dominate his feed.
“Boy, that margarita lady. Oh my God, it’s suffocating. I couldn’t,” Andy said, referencing Bethenny without naming her directly.
His co-host, John Hill, didn’t miss a beat, adding that she posts “like 14 times a day.”
“Anyway, that was a one and done for me,” Andy replied, making it clear he wasn’t interested in sticking around. Hill then revealed, “I have her blocked.”
Andy followed up with another comment that raised eyebrows. “She doesn’t come up on my Instagram. I don’t even know if she’s on Instagram.”
The remarks landed loudly given Andy’s long history with Bethenny, who rose to fame on Real Housewives of New York City and became one of Bravo’s biggest breakout stars thanks to her Skinnygirl empire. Bethenny has been especially visible on social media over the past year, particularly after launching her so-called “reality reckoning,” a public campaign calling for reality stars to receive residuals and accusing networks of exploiting talent.
While Andy never mentioned the movement by name, the timing, and his comments about her TikTok presence, felt far from accidental.
Bethenny, for her part, has not been subtle when discussing her former relationship with Andy or Bravo. She has repeatedly pushed back on the idea that Andy is her boss. “Andy Cohen was never my boss,” she said during one of her podcast appearances, emphasizing that her contract was with the network, not him personally. She has also acknowledged that while they were once close, that dynamic has changed. “We were friends,” she previously said, before noting that relationships evolve when business and power dynamics shift.
The tension became more visible after Bethenny began criticizing the reality television machine that helped make her famous, a move that placed Andy, as the face of Bravo and its reunion culture, squarely in the conversation. Andy has largely avoided addressing her accusations directly, making his latest comments all the more noticeable.
Adding another layer to the irony, Bethenny is perhaps best known for building a multimillion-dollar brand around Skinnygirl margaritas — the same product line Andy appeared to reference when he joked about the “margarita lady.”
Whether Andy’s remarks were meant as a lighthearted jab or a deliberate dig, the exchange underscores how far apart the former allies now seem. Once one of Bravo’s most celebrated success stories, Bethenny has repositioned herself as one of the network’s loudest critics — and Andy, it seems, is no longer pretending not to notice.
Monica Garcia may no longer be holding a snowflake, but she’s clearly still watching everything unfold in Salt Lake City, and she has thoughts.
The former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star reinserted herself into the conversation this week after the latest wave of drama surrounding Meredith Marks. As the cast continues to question Meredith’s behavior this season, Monica popped up on social media with a pointed message that many fans immediately read as a defense of the embattled Housewife.
In recent episodes, Meredith has found herself increasingly isolated, with several of her castmates openly questioning her actions and, at times, insinuating issues with alcohol or substance use. While Mary Cosby has framed her concerns as coming from a place of care, Meredith has repeatedly denied the allegations — and now Monica appears to be calling out what she sees as hypocrisy.
On January 2, Monica shared a video filmed in her kitchen, casually fixing her hair before breaking into a dance. The real message, however, was in the on-screen text.
“When everyone wants to accuse Meredith of being an alcoholic, but she wasn’t the one that was taken away in an ambulance to the ER for alcohol poisoning,” the text read.
Monica didn’t stop there. She added another line that immediately sent fans into detective mode. “And demanded the footage never be shown and cast stay locked in their rooms while she got wheeled to get her stomach pumped. ‘Allegedly.’”
The vague wording — and that final “allegedly” — only fueled speculation about who Monica could be referring to. While she never named names, her hashtags raised eyebrows, particularly one that read #notwhitney. That clue led many fans to believe the post was aimed at Heather Gay.
Viewers were quick to resurface a moment from Season 4, Episode 3, during a cast trip where Heather was seen vomiting in a van after a night of drinking. In the episode, Heather herself acknowledged being tipsy after indulging in espresso martinis, making Monica’s implication feel anything but random to longtime fans.
Monica doubled down in the caption, making it clear she was unbothered by criticism that she can’t stop talking about RHOSLC. “You guys STAY believing the WRONG ONES!!!!!! It’s always the one projecting the most… and THAT’S on people thinking I can’t keep rhoslc out my damn mouth!!!” she wrote. “I haven’t said SH’T!! TRUST!!!! But it’s a new year, let see what happens.”
While Monica hasn’t appeared on the show since her dramatic Season 4 exit, her comments underscore how unresolved tensions in Salt Lake City continue to spill off-screen. And with Meredith still fighting to clear her name, Monica’s post has only added more fuel to an already volatile dynamic — proving that in the RHOSLC universe, former cast members are never really gone.
Sutton Stracke is opening up about two deeply personal topics that continue to shape her life after divorce: her painful experience with a Catholic annulment and why she believes women must be far more involved in their finances long before a marriage ends.
During a candid conversation with Kiki Monique and Dorinda Medley, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star revealed that the annulment process was far more emotional than viewers may have realized.
Kiki admitted she was stunned when Sutton first discussed receiving a letter from the church, explaining that many listeners had the same misconception. “Both Dorinda and I thought annulments were for like people who went to Vegas and made a mistake. It’s not for people who’ve been married for decades and have kids,” she said.
Sutton clarified that there’s a major difference between a legal annulment and a Catholic one. “Yeah, there’s two different kinds of annulments. There’s some states where if you have been married like under a year, you can go get an annulment and annul it so it never legally happened. That’s a different. A Catholic annulment is with the church.”
Dorinda immediately understood the weight of that distinction, noting, “Which is more painful in a lot of ways.”
For Sutton, the experience cut especially deep because of her relationship with the faith itself. “This was a very tough one for me, because I became Catholic to get married and then I’ve really embraced the Catholic church and you know, raised my children Catholic,” she shared. “So this one hurt because you know why?”
Dorinda gently pressed further, asking whether Sutton ever confronted her ex-husband about the decision. Sutton confirmed that she did. “I did say, you know, ‘Why are you doing this?’ He said, ‘I think we’ll be closer.’ I was like, ‘Okay.’ But, you know, I didn’t get it.”
The annulment also forced Sutton to confront how it might affect her children, particularly her middle son. “I really need to talk more about it with my middle son, Philip. He’s very, very Catholic. Very Catholic,” she explained. “My younger son is very open-minded. They’re all Catholic, but he’s more cool. Philip is staunch, so I need to talk when I have some time alone with him, talk to him about it.”
While Sutton emphasized that the decision was ultimately between her and her ex-husband, she admitted it has shifted how she views her place within the church. “It does change my view, kind of where I am in the church,” she said. “And I’m definitely not Sutton Stracke in the church. So that feels weird. You know, they took away.”
Dorinda summed up the sentiment from a fellow Catholic’s perspective, saying, “I think it just it feels heart—it feels—it’s not, I know it’s not, but it feels heartbreaking as a fellow Catholic.”
Sutton didn’t disagree. “It was heartbreaking. It feels heartbreaking on many levels. Heartbreaking on many levels.”
In a separate discussion, Sutton turned her attention to another issue she feels strongly about: women understanding their finances, especially in marriage and divorce. She revealed that she didn’t fully face her own financial reality until years after her divorce. “I had been divorced three or four years, I can’t remember. And I had really just faced doing that,” she said. “And so I kind of loved having a platform to talk about it.”
She explained that conversations with other women quickly showed her how common financial blind spots are. “I can talk about being divorced or being even married and like get your stuff together. Like understand your finances as a married person. Understand your finances as a divorced woman,” Sutton said. “Like women can sometimes lean too much on men.”
Dorinda agreed, adding that the topic remains surprisingly taboo. She recalled being shocked during her own financial proceedings. “He goes, ‘Do you know that most women have no idea where their checking accounts are?’ And two, something like only 20 at that time, about 21% of women have a will. Women don’t do wills. Isn’t that frightening?”
Kiki admitted the conversation hit close to home, revealing, “I actually decided on New Year’s… this year I’m going to make a will because, it’s you never know.”
Dorinda shared that her own life experiences forced her to confront the issue. “The only reason I have one now is because I’ve been divorced and I’ve been widowed that I have to have a will.”
Candiace Dillard Bassett is setting expectations straight, and for now, a return to Potomac isn’t part of the plan.
While fans continue to speculate about whether the former Real Housewives of Potomac star could ever make her way back to Bravo, Dillard Bassett says she’s focused firmly on what’s ahead, not what’s behind. During a recent episode of her podcast, Undomesticated, she addressed the constant questions about a possible comeback and made it clear that nothing is in motion.
“I do not have any plans to return to Potomac at this time,” she said. While she stopped short of closing the door completely, she emphasized that the timing simply isn’t right. “I say that, you never know, as someone who believes firmly in never saying never. I’m not saying it will never happen. But what I am saying is, as you all are badgering and beating down my door to come back like, yesterday, I am not having those conversations.”
Dillard Bassett joined RHOP in Season 3 and exited after Season 8, a departure that sparked immediate chatter about whether she’d eventually reclaim her spot. Instead of entertaining those discussions, she explained that her attention has shifted toward projects that better reflect where she is now personally and professionally.
“I am having conversations about other things and other projects and other ideas and other endeavors that I’m really looking forward to,” she shared.
One of those endeavors is already locked in — and it’s a big one. Dillard Bassett is set to appear on Season 4 of Peacock’s competition series The Traitors, which premieres Thursday, Jan. 8. While she didn’t give away specifics, she promised viewers won’t be disappointed.
“It is going to be a really good season,” she teased on the podcast.
Looking back on filming, Dillard Bassett described the experience as intense, surreal, and surprisingly meaningful. She shared that a recent conversation with one of her castmates brought everything flooding back.
“I know I keep saying this, but truly, and today I had a conversation recently with one of my cast mates, and it was just so funny to relive and kind of recalibrate where we were together,” she explained. “And just like, the twilight zone of an experience that it was.”
She also made it clear that the cast dynamic played a huge role in how memorable the season turned out to be. “And also just like reminded me of what I have always said about this cast is that we, our cast, is so awesome and so great,” she said. “So I can’t wait for you guys to see it.”
