The undisputed champion of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is none other than the fabulous Kandi Burruss. Since joining the show in season 2, she has consistently impressed viewers and became a favorite on Bravo TV. With her business savvy and multiple spin-offs dedicated to her, Burruss has solidified her status as the most successful Housewife.
Throughout her time on the show, Burruss has appeared in six Real Housewives spin-offs, including The Kandi Factory, Kandi’s Wedding, and Kandi’s Ski Trip. She’s proven time and time again that she can handle anything that comes her way—except for one thing: her mother’s approval of her husband, Todd Tucker.
Tucker, a former producer for The Real Housewives of Atlanta, started dating Burruss during the filming of season 4. Unfortunately, Burruss’s mother, Mama Joyce, has never been a fan of Tucker. Her disapproval seems to stem from wanting her daughter to marry someone with a similar financial status.
Despite Tucker spending a decade proving himself as the right man for Burruss, Mama Joyce remains unimpressed. Even his role as a loving father to his two kids and his success in running businesses with his wife doesn’t seem to be enough for her. Over the years, Mama Joyce has continuously labeled Tucker as a “gold-digging opportunist.”
Here are some examples of the savage remarks Mama Joyce has made about Tucker over the years.
In 2013, before Burruss and Tucker tied the knot, Mama Joyce did everything she could to break them up. She constantly disrespected Tucker’s financial status and referred to him as an “opportunist.” She even went as far as spreading rumors about him cheating on Burruss with her best friend, Carmen Cambrice. During a bridal fitting, Mama Joyce stood by her claims, stating that “everybody knows it,” while Carmen defended herself by saying, “you are the everybody.” Mama Joyce also made comments to a friend, saying that her daughter wouldn’t be wearing the wedding dress because she was so convinced the wedding wouldn’t happen. However, Burruss and Tucker did get married that year, proving Mama Joyce wrong.
Even after getting married, Tucker couldn’t escape Mama Joyce’s wrath. Throughout season 12, Mama Joyce continued to cause drama and make things difficult for him. She even revealed that she wanted to make Riley, Burruss’s daughter, her beneficiary because she didn’t trust Tucker’s ability to financially care for his own children. Mama Joyce later reflected on her past behavior and pledged to respect her daughter’s boundaries, acknowledging that she was angry and that Tucker wasn’t the type of guy she envisioned for her daughter. She vowed to be there for her daughter and apologized for her actions.
Despite Mama Joyce’s pledge to change, she made disparaging comments about Tucker’s career at BravoCon 2022. In front of a live audience, she expressed that she would have preferred Burruss to be with someone who had a “decent job” in the same financial realm as her. This shocked fans, as many believed that progress had been made in Mama Joyce’s opinion of Tucker. It was disappointing to see her still fighting old battles instead of embracing the growth that had occurred since the 2020 Essence interview.
Burruss’s fans were vocal about their thoughts on the incident, with many believing it was time for her to set stronger boundaries with her mother. In a scene from the current 15th season of RHOA, Burruss had a final conversation with her mother, expressing that she needed to fix her attitude or risk being less involved in their lives. Only time will tell if Mama Joyce takes the hint and changes her ways.
