‘Y’all Look Like Sisters’: Kandi Burruss Shocks Fans by Uploading Pic With Celebrity Doppelgänger

Everyone has a doppelgänger, someone who looks like them, and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reality diva Kandi Burruss is no exception. 

The mother of three uploaded a photo of herself standing side by side with “RHOA” guest cast member Shamea Morton earlier in the week. “Chocolate drops! My sister from another mister @shameamorton❤️,” Burruss’ caption read.

Fans proclaimed how much Morton and Burruss resembled each other and complimented the two. 

“Definitely look like blood sisters!❤❤❤ #drippinmelaninbeauty.” 

“Y’all sure do look like y’all, Daddy daughters ❤️.” 

“Y’all looking like sisters.”

“For real ..are u sure u guys are really not sisters ❤️❤️.”

“But y’all actually look so much alike In this picture!!”

Morton also uploaded the same photo of her and Burruss. The reality stars attended the Atlanta Hawks versus Indiana Pacers game in Atlanta. 

“My sis @kandi is such a good luck charm.🥰 Hawks win 116- over the Pacers 111 tonight🏀,” Morton wrote before hashtagging, “#chocolate #melanin #winnings#friends #family Shoes: @tagsboutique.”

While Morton doesn’t hold an “RHOA” peach, she has had her fair share of drama on the show with former cast member Phaedra Parks.

Parks alleged that Morton and Burruss had a love affair during season 9 of the show. Parks also spread a rumor that Burruss and her husband Todd Tucker tried to drug and take advantage of cast member Porsha Williams. 

Burruss appeared on an episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” and cleared the air about sleeping with Morton after a caller asked did she sleep with her friend. 

“No. No, I did not,” Burruss said. “And I just thought that was really foul to try to put [Shamea’s] name into this whole drama that they’re trying to throw at me. I just thought it was foul.”

On Parks spreading the rape rumor, she admitted during the reunion that she heard it from an unnamed source. 

“I repeated it because I heard it,” Parks explained. “Something was brought to me. I just repeated it. I repeated what someone told me. I’m not saying I didn’t say it. I’m saying I repeated it.”

“I shouldn’t have repeated it. … I screwed up,” Parks said. “I’m sorry, Porsha … I didn’t know if it was true or not. … If something would have happened to you, I would have been a bad friend,” Parks continued. The lawyer also apologized to Burruss, but the damage was done. 

“I was shocked, angry, disgusted … I could go on,” Burruss said in an interview with BravoTV.com.

“Even with everything that had happened between me and Phaedra, I still didn’t think Phaedra would go so low as to tell someone that I wanted to drug them. Being an attorney, you would think she wouldn’t intentionally spread defamatory, false statements about someone,” Kandi continued. 

“I’m so glad the truth finally came out, and I’m glad to be able to move on from this. Thank you to everyone who remained #TeamKandi, especially when others were believing the lies!” 

With Morton being added into the drama during season 9, and as she is a close friend with both Williams and Burruss, fans believe that Morton should be holding a peach. 

“Love you guys! Shames should be on the show!!!👍🏽♥️.” 

“I LOVE shamea; She needs a 🍑.” 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
