Kandi Burrus Will ‘Cash In’ on ‘Sex Dungeon’ Rumor that Nearly Ruined Her Reputation

Kandi Burruss is all for making boss moves, and she has found a way to make light of a career-threatening accusation.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star announced the upcoming sale of tickets for her “wild” show that’s set to debut soon. Burruss took to Instagram on Sunday and shared a video featuring reality star Malaysia Pargo. The two were dressed up burlesque-style, and Burruss had a whip in her hand. The mother of two, seated on a sort of throne, appeared to be spanking the “Basketball Wives of L.A.” star on the thigh.

The “RHOA” celeb captioned the video, “Make sure to get tickets to the wild over the top event I’m putting together for October 12th when they become available this week. Who wants to come? 🙋🏾‍♀️😜 Check in below!”

Fans flooded Burruss’ Instagram with comments about the event, and one person wrote, “That’s right cash in on the scandal they tried to put out on your name.” The reality star replied, “Turn a negative into a positive.”

Another person chimed in and added, “Keep building empires with the stones thrown from haters.”

“Definitely understand the memo! She’s turning a negative into a positive! Make that money!”

“So is this the sex dungeon? Make them eat their words! You go Kandi girll.”

One fan said, “Cute event idea! If they say you have a dungeon make them pay to see it😂.”

Burruss’ salacious “sex dungeon” event stems from the rape rumors spread by her former friend Phaedra Parks. The Atlanta attorney told Porsha Williams that Burruss and her husband Todd Tucker allegedly planned to drug and rape Williams. 

The “Xscape” artist was devastated by the rumor Parks confessed to spreading. Burruss exploded on Parks during the “RHOA” season nine reunion and said, “Y’all know how much I care about my business and my brand. … Y’all accused me of being a f—— rapist.”

Burruss and Williams have since been able to bury the hatchet. However, the singer no longer has a friendship with Parks.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
