‘She Need To Check Her’: Fans Feel Like Kandi Burruss Needs To Hold Her Mother Accountable For Treating Todd Tucker ‘Disrespectfully’

Mamma Joyce, the mother to Kandi Burruss, continues to meddle in Burruss’ relationship with Todd Tucker. The 70-year-old Joyce and Tucker fell out with each other on the April 19 episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Their feud eventually resulted in Mamma Joyce not attending the couple’s baby shower, and now “RHOA” fans are claiming they are fed up with the way Mamma Joyce is treating Burruss’ husband.

On the day of the baby shower, Burruss and her mother went out for breakfast. Tucker and his friend came into the restaurant, but Tucker never acknowledged Mamma Joyce’s presence. His friend spotted the mother-daughter duo eating in the back and went to speak to them. Mamma Joyce felt disrespected by Tucker and opted out of attending their baby shower later in the day.

The singer-songwriter and her husband began bickering at their event after Burruss asked Tucker to apologize to her mother. Tucker held his ground and insisted on not talking to his mother-in-law. The season finale of “RHOA” riled fans up. They expressed that Burruss should have held her mother accountable for the way she treated Tucker in the past.

“Yessss husband…… sick of the mom and wife. Wives protect their husbands. Love you Kandi but your mom👀👀👀👀😩😩😩😩😩😩

A second fan said, “Todd’s not going be around much longer.”

“I’m with Todd! Mama Joyce still don’t like him. 🤦🏾‍♀️Let’s be honest. 🤷🏾‍♀️”

“He finally getting tired of her bullsh-t and her messy a-s mama,” a fourth stated.

A fifth user wrote, “She need to check her mother for once.”

“Todd is putting her in her place🐴🐴🐴🐴.”

“Mamma Joyce treats Todd soooo disrespectfully 😩.”

Mamma Joyce seems to have never liked Tucker. She told Burruss on the Feb. 9 episode of the hit reality show that she did not believe Tucker would take care of Burruss’ daughter, Riley Burruss, to the best of his ability if something were to happen to the both of them. The former “Xscape” singer had Riley from a previous relationship, so Mamma Joyce listed Riley as her beneficiary.

Mamma Joyce has openly expressed her concerns about Burruss’ marriage to Tucker throughout the series. She claimed that Tucker, a former “RHOA” producer, was not financially stable and insinuated that he was living off her daughter.

The “RHOA” virtual reunion will air on Sunday, May 10, on Bravo!

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
