For many, Kandi Burruss is a staple part of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ and a firm fan favorite.
However, in a new interview with Access Hollywood, the multi-hyphenate star revealed she’s “contemplating” her departure from the hit Bravo series.
Full story below…
When quizzed about her future on RHOA, she said:
“I don’t know. It’s a constant change in the cast. It’s a constant change of where people are in their lives. ‘I don’t know’ is really my answer. I’m always contemplating when is my time to make a move.”
When the hosts relayed that her many hustles mean she isn’t in need of the role on the show, she mogul replied:
“Technically yeah. It’s definitely a mutual choice, I would say. It’s a choice of a person if they want to stay. But also it’s the choice of the network if they want you to stay.
For me, where I’m at, I’ve had a great relationship with the network. So (if I were to leave), I don’t ever think it would be a situation where it would be a bad thing. At least I hope it wouldn’t be. But who knows. It may be my time to say goodbye. Or it may be my time to say ‘I’ll stay a bit longer.'”
The news comes amid reports that producers are mulling a return of Phaedra Parks – whose 2017 exit followed a fall-out scandal with Burruss.
I don’t blame Kandi if she does leave…and I don’t blame Phaedra for returning
Kandi is vital the show. She is the link between maybe of girls and is one of the only neutral girls in the group. Also if Kandi is gone it makes no sense bringing Phaedra back, as she is the link in that drama.
Bravo messed up when they kept bringing in new girls, forcing relations and drama. If there is no history between the cast, how y’all expect there to be good drama. I also feel like the new girls who were organically growing in the group and bringing it like Claudia, Eva and Shamari, they let them prematurely. Only to bring in ppl like Drew, Latoya and Falyn who isn’t a fit.
AGREED! 100%! They are horrible with casting and maintaining cast. Claudia definitely shouldn’t have been gone with only one season after drama with her and nene! Shamari definitely also deserved another go and of course I wish Eva stayed on mo!
Bye girl. Go be boring somewhere else and take your disgusting s** toys with you
Noooooo, I love Kandi!
I really like Kandi but her neutrality with the other cast members + her stable marriage/family/career don’t make for dramatic television.
She can go. We’d rather see Phaedra. Mama Joyce can have kandi’s peach tbh. Kandi is boring AF
So Kandi brings balance and that’s important however Phaedra can stir the pot no matter what and web people together easier. It’s such a generational gap it’s very retired aunties at this point and it looks like they just invited nieces and cousins over for entertainment the show can’t grow like this and I think it will end the series without her
Bye…. you won’t be missed
I hope you make a move you have out grown this show for sure .. The show offers nothing but black women acting the ass for no reason other than that to make people watch
RHOA is a dying franchise. They add and remove cast members too much. The storylines are forced and contrived. It’s stale. RHOP is superior.
Translation: I have no storyline, ratings are way down, and they bout to fire me. So I’m gonna grab my ish and go.
I thought Kandi was working on a show about OLG?
This season brought nothing besides the Bolo situation honestly besides her different businesses Kandi brings nothing interesting and hasn’t for quite sometime. Her and Cynthia are the two highest paid and they no real value to the show anymore. Also the alliance is played out as well. Bravo needs to shake this show up in the worst way if they want ratings to get back to at least the two million mark. Also the storylines need some improvement.
I think she and Cynthia should be respectfully demoted to friends of the show and slowly fade out instead of a hard dismissal. Someone leaving doesn’t always need to be dramatic. But Kandi really doesn’t need tjis show anymore, therefore she brings nothing to the show anymore. She is in a great place in her life, marriage and career. Keeping Kandi at this point is pointless.
If she leaves, she can be proud of the long run she had on the show. 12 seasons on a program is a great opportunity and it ‘s rare in the entertainment industry.
