I don't care that much, but if Kandi was formally invited then the gracious thing would have been for her to attend, if only for a minute. No matter how ugly their situation ended, the bottom line is that it was JD who gave her her start. That would have been like Diana Ross boycotting Motown 25. She and Barry Gordy were fucking, and it didn't end well between them...but for one night, put ego and anger to the side and celebrate what used to be, and how it shaped your today.
