Kandi Burruss Claps Back At Todd Tucker Over Viral Momma Joyce Promo… “Stop Playing The Victim!”
Media Take Out has the absolute front-row seat to the post-divorce fireworks between Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker. It looks like the “civil” co-parenting era we were promised just a few weeks ago has officially gone “Gone with the Wind” fabulous—and not in a good way!
The drama popped off when Kandi took to Instagram to promote her upcoming one-woman stage show, appropriately titled “I Did, I Do, I’m Done.” To market the show, Kandi leaned into the nostalgia (and the shade) by posting a classic RHOA clip of her mother, Momma Joyce, reading Todd for filth at a dinner table. You know the one—where she famously hummed “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” while implying Todd was a “lemon” who couldn’t take care of her daughter.
Todd Tucker Feels “Disrespected”
Todd, who officially finalized his divorce from Kandi on March 25, 2026, was reportedly not amused by the trip down memory lane. Sources close to Todd tell Media Take Out that he feels Kandi is “weaponizing” his past struggles with her mother to sell tickets.
“Todd feels like he spent 10 years proving he wasn’t a ‘lemon,’ and for Kandi to use that specific trauma to promote her ‘single life’ show is a low blow,” a source whispered. “He reached out to her privately to ask her to take it down, and when she didn’t, things got heated.”
Kandi’s Savage Clapback: “Please Stop Playing Victim”
Kandi, who has never been one to shy away from a confrontation (or a check), reportedly told Todd to pipe down. During a recent Instagram Live, the Xscape singer addressed the “sensitive” reactions to her marketing strategy.
“At the end of the day, that happened. That is my life. That is my story,” Kandi told her followers. “I’m not gonna sit here and edit my history because it makes you uncomfortable now. Please stop playing the victim. You were there, the cameras were there, and the tickets are selling. Period!”
The $426,000 “Clean Break”
This social media spat comes just one month after the former power couple signed off on a very specific divorce settlement. As Media Take Out previously reported:
- The Payout: Kandi cut Todd a $426,000 lump sum to balance their assets.
- The Cars: Kandi kept her 2022 Bentley SUV and vintage Camaro, while Todd walked away with a 2023 Range Rover and a 1973 Ford Bronco.
- The “Squatter” Drama: Part of the deal required Todd to move out of Kandi’s guest house within 15 days—a major point of contention during the 2025 proceedings.
Momma Joyce Feels Vindicated!
And what does the woman who started it all think? Momma Joyce is reportedly “beaming” over the divorce. During a February 2026 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Kandi admitted that while her mom hasn’t said “I told you so” out loud, her “energy” says it every single day.
“She’s been surprisingly calm,” Kandi told Andy Cohen. “But I know she feels like she was right about the ‘lemon’ all along.”
Is Kandi “out of pocket” for using Todd’s worst moments to promote her show, or is Todd just being too sensitive about his ex-wife’s hustle? Let us know in the comments!
