In a candid and exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kandi Burruss opened up about her decision to leave ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ after 14 seasons. The reality TV star revealed that she has no regrets about walking away from the show, stating that she felt no FOMO (fear of missing out) when the cameras went up on the mostly new cast for season 16.
During the interview, Kandi also discussed her role in Shamea Morton finally snagging a peach on the show and how ‘RHOA’ is affecting Shamea’s friendship with Porsha Williams. She weighed in on the drama between Porsha and Drew Sidora over Drew working with Porsha’s ex, Dennis McKinley, on music. Kandi also addressed the return of Phaedra Parks, with whom she famously fell out over nasty rumors Phaedra allegedly spread about her.
Kandi jumped to Kenya Moore’s defense, after the former Miss USA was ousted from the show mid-filming. She shared updates on her other projects, including new TV ventures, and explained why she’s not doing another show with her band, XSCAPE. Additionally, Kandi discussed why she won’t be doing a second season of the series about her restaurants, ‘Kandi and the Gang.’
On a positive note, Kandi shared that she is back on Broadway as a producer for ‘Othello.’ Fans can find tickets for the show at OthelloBWay.com. It seems like Kandi Burruss is keeping busy and making moves in her career post-‘RHOA’ departure.

We miss you Kandi ❤️ favorite housewife can’t wait for more speak on it!!
Not the Tamar Braxton shade 👀😆
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
I absolutely LOVE her on the Chi. Kandi is that chic! My favorite housewife. Elevation, keep pushing 🫶🏾
I love me some Kandi Burrussss Tuckerrr hunny!! ❤🎉
And people thought that Kandi was fired 💀 I know yall big and mad when she said she actually didnt want to come back
Kandi is that gworl how can u hate!?
I feel like she walked away from that show still as herself, and that's the best outcome you could hope for. Housewives bring out some very nasty things in people. Some housewives also left the show with their heads held high but those people's tenures tend to be quite short. Kandi was on for freaking 14 seasons, that's admirable.
love kandi idk why she got hate towards the end by viewers on housewives. some ppl are probably commenting we miss you kandi now that she listenend to use and left. ppl wanted her gone..
Kandi! ❤❤❤
Why was that guy so shady towards Phaedra? I'm not gonna mention her name, girlllll🤨
Kandi I am a huge fan keep going on everything
A class act.
Kenya doesn't fit in with those girls.
She walked away with her husband and her true self 😊
The Tamar clip😂😂
Kandi is I think the smartest housewife in all the entire franchise. So many of them try to do businesses, but this woman knows how to execute. Yeah, she's very intelligent in how she speaks and she doesn't speak badly about anyone. She's so different from her mother
I won’t miss her on rhoa…she became so boring
I don’t know who edited the video and added the clips in but they did a good job and the timing was on point too!
Kayla?
Congrats on your career success. Kandi left while on the show the last few years, booked and too busy for the housewives. Don't be too busy for God Kandi.

I love the energy of this interview. "Don't bring your man to Atlanta" is a very interesting title for a movie. 😂😂😂
What was the point of even bringing up Phaedra?? Tacky
When is the Making It In Manhattan announcement?
