Kandi Burruss Called ‘Hypocritical’ for Criticizing Porsha Williams’ Man the Same Way Folks Dissed Her Husband

A teaser for next week’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” has fans wondering why Kandi Burruss is so critical of Porsha Williams’ new man when the singer has faced the same negativity when she first got with her husband.

When the ladies gather in Miami to support Nene Leakes‘ comedy show, the co-stars learn about Williams’ then-boyfriend Dennis McKinley. Burruss’ eyebrows were raised when Williams said her boo has discussed getting married and then the bomb was dropped.

“Before Porsha even told us about her new boo, I had already heard about her new boo,” Burruss says in a confessional.

In another scene, she tells the same thing to her husband Todd Tucker on a FaceTime call.

“I didn’t want to be like, ‘I got tea on somebody,” she says before Tucker advises her to stay out of it.

Fans who remembered the naysayers — which included Burruss’ mother — discussing Tucker ahead of his wedding to Burruss, immediately brought that up in the comments.

“So Kandi about to do to Porsha what she didn’t like her momma doing to her about Todd.”

“@beyhardrict kandi can dish it out all the time and it’s fine but when it’s the other way around it’s wrong.”

“That’s Why I’m Not A Kandi Fan….She Doing What Happen To Her Over Five (5) Seasons Ago ‼️”

“Whewww chile, there go hypocritical Kandi🙄”

“So Kandi about to shade Porsha new man…. but didn’t that happen to Todd and we got ‘NO BODY COMES BETWEEN MY MAN.’”

“Kandi should really stay out of it because when people were talking about Todd she wasn’t happy about it.”

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.
