‘Hot Water Cornbread, and Turnip Greens’: Kandi’s Embracing Her Curves and So Are Her Fans

Kandi Burruss isn’t sweating a couple of extra pounds, and if they all happen to situate themselves into the right places, even better!

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star is admittedly rocking a little extra weight right now thanks to the quarantine fifteen that many have been battling against since the start of the COVID-19 lockdown. She still looks and feels amazing, however, and is letting her fans see the proof firsthand.

Kandi has been keeping it sexy all-around lately. In addition to showing everyone she’s still got it, the businesswoman gifted her husband, Todd Tucker, with a COVID-friendly party for his birthday, complete with socially-distanced strippers. “When you want to have dancers, but you want to have it COVID-free,” she said in a since-deleted Instagram Story featuring an exotic dancer moneymaker on camera.

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.
