[Tears & Accusations] Mama Joyce, Kandi Burruss & Fiancé Todd Have Therapy Session ‘The View’
ABC’s The View had an intense moment, when chatting with the Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kandi Burruss, Todd Tucker (Kandi’s fiance) and Mama Joyce (Kandi’s mother). The three had a short family session with the show’s cast about the ongoing conflict that TV junkies see every Sunday on BRAVO. The segment began with Mama Joyce explaining that one of her bigger issues is that the fact that Todd took some time off of work. She said:
Well, really Todd seems like a very nice person and when I met him he seemed like a very nice person. But I have a problem with after his first job, which was doing the Kim and Kroy wedding he took like two months off. Now, I come from a family of men that work. I had a problem with that ya know? And also, he said that he was using part of his savings and when you already to me, stepping up I feel like you don’t need to use part of your savings.
During their appearance, Whoopi Goldberg flatly told Mama Joyce that she should allow her daughter to make her own mistakes, without her interfering. She said:
Now here’s my question. You have a man in your life right? She up in your business?
To which Mama Joyce replied,
No.
Whoopi continued:
Now okay. You and I are minutes apart in terms of age…we don’t have time for this. Let her make the mistake, if she’s gonna make the mistake. You gotta let her do it. You can’t do this for her. We listened kinda to our parents, but we had to make our own mistakes. She gotta do it.
Mama Joyce admitted that ideally, leaving her daughter’s romantic life would be ideal, if her grand daughter Riley was not in the picture. Mama Joyce shared:
It’s not all about…if it was just Kandi, I would agree with you. But Kandi has a daughter. And that’s who I’m worried about…
Todd calmly defended himself, acknowledging that he did take some time off, after working on Kim Zolciak’s wedding special, but noted that he’s launched his own production company and just landed two new projects.
I think everyone has a breaking point…The lies, that stuff is really tough. I have a mom and it affects my mother. It affects my daughter. It affects Kandi’s daughter. The other day Kandi’s daughter told Kandi ‘I don’t like that he said he would leave you’.
Kandi, caught in between the two, chimed in having a semi-emotional moment. Through tears, she painfully explained:
It is very frustrating beca it’s like I love my mother to death…I do feel like Ma, you had kids too…Your mother didn’t interfere with your relationships…I just feel like you treat me like I am just stupid and I have no sense of responsibility and I don’t think that’s fair.
Here’s a rough version of the entire segment.
While things were clearly emotional for Kandi, she seemed to be in great spirits after the show, as she tweeted her excitement after meeting Whoopi for the first time:
I was sooooo excited to meet @whoopi_1! @todd167was too. I almost hit a flip when she came in the dressing room! Lol…

Thank ya! :)
I dont like bash people but Mama Joyce needs to stop ASAP!. I understand her motherly love for Kandi and her grandchild but Kandis grown. Let her make her own mistakes in life. Todd seems like a deseant guy and if he aint well she will find out in time. My mom always said the more you say you hate on your childs spouce the more she or he will fight to prove you wrong. So my advice to mama joyce is sit back and watch. You can jump if he is abusive in any way but he aint so thake a seat.
Mama Joyce is acting selfish & immature pretty much for nothing. Todd does not appear to be a bad guy and if he was, I’m sure Kandi is smart enough to know what to do. He explained his employment and the choices that they made in order for him to move to ATL to be w/her, so Mama Joyce needs to come better than that. It seems like Mama Joyce is having an anxiety attack in letting go, as if Kandi won’t love or treat her the same anymore. And while she’s so concerned about Riley, she needs to realize that she’s not being a great role model for her either. I kinda feel sorry for Kandi, totally unfair & her Mom seriously needs to mind her business and get some help. Gotta love Kandi for LOVING her Mom and keeping the utmost respect even though she’s acting a fool. But at the same time, I can see where Todd is coming from by Kandi not being woman enough to “respectfully” put Mom in her place. Instead of creating a solution, she is being part of the problem by allowing her mother to treat her this way.

Kandi and Todd, I feel for you. Todd, no disrespect to Kandi and children, if you would walk today or anytime soon or later you will do find. Anytime, you are In a relationship for real love “in Love” and you allow your woman’s parent(s) to reduce your manhood it ain’t worth it. You were doing fine when you meet Kandi and you will do greater things without her. Who are you suppose to prove real love too? kandi or her mom? Her mom need to find her a real man to love her and not ride off the coattail of Kandis’ but yet she meddling into the “in love” you have for Kandi’. What mom Joyce wants from you? Maybe, she wants you. Mom Joyce, you are miserable and need to see a psychiatrist that has no investment or interest in you and that psychiatrist is guess who? Todd is no mistake that Kandi will find out later, her biggest mistake is to allow a man that loves her to be abused her mom. Kandi, just incase you don’t know, all of this nonsense is a form of ABUSIVENESS. I have worked in the field for 25 years. kandi, when you can not address these family issues and keep running to the hills, it destroys the sexual drives on all level for a man and let me tell you my sister don’t ever, ever underestimate that there is not another woman who can give him comfort. Trust me, nothing to do with your empire, sister money can’t buy love just a PIMP. before momma Joyce throws a rock, make sure she is not living in a glass house. If she was so bright, the word is aneurism and not animarism. Checkmate. Todd if you keep on accepting this type of ABUSIVENESS it reduces your self esteem, demoralizes you and you will loose who you are as a person. momma Joyce and Kandi only GOD is perfect. Money pays bills, buy businesses and materialistic things made by man but can’t buy respect, honesty, healthy communication , trust cause at the end of the day you get played by people and find yourself by yourself. Some family are a real mother for ya, ain’t got nothing, want nothing, never working hard to accomplish nothing by will ride your tailcoat to make sure no one else get something. SELFISH. Remember Kandi, you have Riley and treat others with respect so the negative domino effect doesn’t happened to Riley. The more the children see this mess it flows over into the personal life and will have men running in and out of their lives due to witnessing this mess. kandi, as a mother of 2 sons 27 and 24 I would never want nor allow any woman’s of their parents to reduce their manhood. it is not right. Momma Joyce, whatever Kandi has for you will always be yours no one can ever fulfill the shoes of a child’s mother so don’t treat other people’s children like they are less than yours. The Lord gives and also takes a way if your are not humble and believes that yours is better than…..I have seen empire go from hero to zero. Stay prayed up! Not just a title but the truth. Amen
