Kandi Burruss Making Amends with Tamar Braxton Has RHOA Fans Wondering If the Same Can Be Done for Phaedra Parks

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

It’s no secret that Kandi Burruss and Tamar Braxton have finally become friends after spending a month together in the “Celebrity Big Brother” house. And since Burruss managed to put long-standing issues with Braxton aside after 20 years, fans of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” are wondering if she can do the same for ex-cast member Phaedra Parks.

Burruss sang Braxton’s praises to “Entertainment Tonight” days after the “Love and War” singer took home the $250,000 grand prize from the show last month.

“I am so happy that we had the opportunity to mend our relationship,” the singer says. “For too long we have just been a roller coaster of emotions between the two of us … I’m just glad we were able to fix it in the house and we probably would have never fixed it if we weren’t stuck in the house together. I was happy to see her win.”

Seeing the comments Burruss made about Braxton led fans of “RHOA” to wonder if Burruss could ever get back to being friends with Parks.

“I wonder what happened if she was there and Phaedra was there too 😂😂😂😂”

“@kandi can you fix it with @phaedraparks now?”

The two fell out during season 9 when Parks spread a rumor that the singer wanted to drug and rape Porsha Williams in a supposed sex dungeon.

“Do y’all know people was under my comments saying #KandiAKABillCosby?” an emotional Burruss charged during the reunion that year. “Do you think that s— is f—ing cool?…. Y’all accused me of being a f—ing rapist. That is crazy.”

However, while Burruss and Williams have managed to make amends despite a few bumps along the way, any chances of Burruss and Parks becoming friends again is unlikely.

Speaking on “Watch What Happens Live” in November about the probability of the Atlanta-based attorney getting back into her good graces, Burruss immediately said there was none.

“Absolutely not,” she said. “That was too far, that was too much. I’ve never heard anything. No apologies, no nothing. And I’m cool with that. We don’t have to ever talk again and I’m good. Let’s move forward.”

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.
