Selene Finance LP has filed documents in Pinky Cole’s ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, alleging she owes more than $164,000 on a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the Atlanta area and seeking court permission to pursue remedies that could include foreclosure.
According to the filings, the mortgage servicer claims Cole has not made payments on the property since December 2025. Cole, the founder of the plant-based burger chain Slutty Vegan and a cast member on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, owns multiple homes in Georgia, many of which are rental properties.
Pinky Cole Possible Foreclosure: What We Know
Cole’s attorney, Jamie Christy, told TMZ that the property in question is not Cole’s primary residence. “This property is not Pinky’s home, but rather, a rental property. The property is being treated in the bankruptcy plan,” Christy said. She described the lender’s motion as “an impulsive move by the servicer” and noted that it is being reset. “The focus should be on Pinky righting her finances and growing her business to fund her plan of reorganization,” Christy added.
This is the latest property-related dispute in Cole’s bankruptcy proceedings. Earlier this year, after she filed for Chapter 11 protection in February 2026, a creditor seized a different rental home she owns in Loganville. A federal bankruptcy judge later ordered the property returned to her, finding that the seizure violated the automatic stay protections that halt collection actions during bankruptcy. Court records from the case have shown significant liabilities, including a roughly $1.2 million Small Business Administration loan and other debts that have grown in subsequent filings.
Cole has continued to operate her business interests while reorganizing under court supervision. Her bankruptcy plan treats various real estate holdings, including rentals, as part of efforts to generate income and repay creditors. The new motion from Selene Finance LP seeks relief from the automatic stay so the company can move forward with collection efforts on the Atlanta-area property.
Cole starred in the most recent season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Representatives for the lender did not immediately respond to requests for additional comment.

A video posted on X by the gossip account @GossipInformer on October 18, 2026, captured Real Housewives of Atlanta alum NeNe Leakes—known to fans by her given name, Linnethia—at a birthday celebration the night before
The roughly one-minute clip shows the 58-year-old reality star taking the stage under dramatic red lighting, microphone in hand, delivering a performance as a pink multi-tiered cake is presented.
NeNe Leakes Lights Up a Birthday Party
In the footage, Leakes appears in a form-fitting black dress with sheer patterned long sleeves and overlay details, paired with distinctive zebra-print tights or leggings. Her long, wavy blonde hair frames her as she sings, gestures, and moves across the stage. Text overlays read “Bday vibes,” and watermarks for @eneleakes and @blkwd1017 (fashion designer Brandon Blackwood’s handle) are visible, along with branding that appears to reference Blackwood.
A man carries out the cake topped with a lit sparkler-style candle, while a screen in the background displays a photo of a young child. The setting has the energetic feel of a club or event space with stage lighting and red curtains.
Replies to the post were overwhelmingly complimentary about her appearance. Commenters wrote variations of “She looks good af,” “She looks good,” and “Shut uppp. She look tf good.”
This sighting comes amid a busy stretch for Leakes. Earlier in the month she appeared at a National PrEP Day event in West Hollywood alongside Ts Madison and others, where she discussed openness to returning to RHOA. In an exclusive with Us Weekly, she said a simple sit-down conversation would make a comeback “very easy,” noting she is open to working with any Housewives after her recent guest appearance on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th as part of the franchise’s 20th-anniversary celebrations. She has also been active with comedy appearances and public support for former castmate Kim Zolciak.
Born Linnethia Monique Johnson on December 13, 1967, in Queens, New York, and raised in Athens, Georgia, Leakes became a breakout star as an original cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2008. Known for her outspoken personality, quick wit, and glamorous style, she later pursued acting (including Glee), business ventures such as the Linnethia Lounge, and other television projects. After leaving RHOA in 2020 and pursuing a lawsuit against Bravo and related parties, she has remained a frequent presence in entertainment coverage and fan conversations.
The exact honoree and full guest list of the October 17 party have not been widely detailed beyond the circulating video, but the clip has resonated with fans who continue to follow Leakes’ public appearances and style. It offers a lively snapshot of the longtime personality still commanding a stage and turning heads years after her peak RHOA run.

K. Michelle’s Jesus & Whiskey is a convincing, tightly focused country debut that feels less like a celebrity pivot and more like a long-delayed homecoming.
Released October 16, 2026, via Real Outlawz Records/BBR Music Group, the nine-track, roughly 29-minute project is produced primarily by Kristian Bush (Sugarland). It leans hard into traditional country instrumentation—plenty of steel guitar (Justin Schipper is prominent), banjo, dobro, B3 organ, and live-room playing—while giving K. Michelle’s powerful, textured voice and Memphis-bred storytelling room to operate. She co-wrote eight of the nine tracks and has been clear that country was her first love (The Judds, Lee Ann Womack, etc.), that labels steered her toward R&B for “other reasons,” and that she even earned a college scholarship partly through yodeling. That history shows.
K. Michelle’s Jesus & Whiskey Music ReviewThe spoken-word “Intro” sets a defiant, growth-over-revenge tone over pedal steel and piano before the record proper begins. “Yodel” is a cheeky, galloping highlight that actually deploys real yodeling (chest-to-head voice transitions) amid banjo rolls and outlaw-cowboy imagery; it’s playful without feeling novelty. “Blame Tennessee” is a strong identity statement—Daddy’s daughter, 100-proof, rough around the edges, getting drunk on Friday instead of dreaming of picket fences—with steel-swelled choruses and specific Memphis references (Beale Street, I-40). The title track is the conceptual center: Saturday night and Sunday morning held in equal regard. “I ain’t perfect / I still drink some when I’m hurting… I don’t fall down on my knees, but I still believe” and the John 8 “he without sin” closer land with conviction rather than sermonizing.
“Jack Daniel’s” treats the bottle as the most reliable man in her life with bar-ready energy and blue-note guitar; “Damn Good Friend” builds from acoustic/gospel-tinged reflection into a churchy bridge; “Handle On It” is front-porch medicine via whiskey and dobro. “Anything” (feat. Blush) edges more toward the soulful ballad side of her range, while the closer “If It Ain’t Broke” stays sultry. Early reviews have landed in the strong-to-excellent range (one 8/10, another 4/5), noting the live feel, the steel-heavy arrangements, and how comfortably her voice sits in the material.
From an Atlanta vantage—where many of us first encountered her via Love & Hip Hop and later RHOA—it’s easy to frame this as reality-TV adjacency or a calculated genre hop. That undersells it. The Memphis-to-Nashville throughline, the yodeling skill she has long possessed, the co-writing, and the absence of watered-down “crossover” production all point to someone claiming space she was previously denied rather than borrowing it. Country has long had a complicated relationship with Black artists; records like this (rooted, specific, unapologetic about faith and vice) matter more than broad statements about inclusion.
The short runtime keeps it from overstaying, though a couple of tracks lean on familiar barroom tropes and the writing occasionally gets knotted. It is not a reinvention of the form, nor does it need to be. It is a well-executed, personally grounded country album from a singer who has always had the instrument and the Southern perspective. Fans of her R&B catalog who can meet her halfway on the twang and steel should find plenty here; traditional country listeners open to a Black woman from Memphis doing the work without novelty framing will too. Stream it, especially the title track, “Blame Tennessee,” “Yodel,” and “Jack Daniel’s.”

NeNe Leakes and Phaedra Parks expressed support for their former Real Housewives of Atlanta castmate Kim Zolciak as she deals with serious sexual assault allegations against her teenage son.
TMZ caught the two at LAX on Saturday. Both said they have been in touch with Zolciak and stand by her.
NeNe Leakes, Phaedra Parks Support for Kim Zolciak Amid Son’s Legal Case
NeNe, speaking to a photog while near a black SUV, said she wishes Kim well. She noted that the last time they spoke, Kim was doing okay, though it had been a while. In the video, she acknowledged the situation is different from typical personal drama because it involves family and kids. When asked if Kim was okay after their last conversation, she confirmed, “She’s okay.”
Phaedra, shown inside a vehicle in a patterned Louis Vuitton-style outfit, said she and Kim keep in touch pretty frequently and that she has her “girl’s back.” Asked what advice she has given Zolciak about the allegations against her son, Phaedra declined to elaborate, effectively pleading the fifth.
In other recent comments to outlets like Us Weekly, both women have spoken more openly as mothers. Phaedra has described Kim as resilient, emphasized empathy because she has sons of her own, and noted the principle of innocent until proven guilty. NeNe has said she texted early on as one mom to another.
The context is the case against 15-year-old Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr., son of Zolciak and former NFL player Kroy Biermann. He was arrested in August after a female classmate alleged he sexually assaulted her in a changing room at a fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia, in April. Prosecutors have also claimed they found videos on his phone showing him having sex with an underage relative.
KJ has pleaded not guilty to the charges (including aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment, and related counts). He is out on bond and living at home with his mother under strict conditions, including electronic monitoring, virtual schooling, no cellphone or social media, and a no-contact order with anyone under 16—including his siblings. His attorney has maintained his innocence and sought to have the case moved to juvenile court.
The allegations remain unproven in court. The RHOA alums’ public comments highlight the personal toll on Zolciak while the legal process continues.

Kandi Burruss says Todd Tucker’s new project is “drag Kandi to sell my tickets.”
Kandi Burruss has weighed in on her ex-husband Todd Tucker’s post-divorce project, ’Til Divorce Do Us Part, and she is not buying the framing. In a sit-down interview clip circulating widely among Real Housewives of Atlanta fans, the singer and former Bravo star accuses Tucker of using her name and their history to move tickets.
Kandi Burruss Says Todd Tucker’s New Project a ‘Drag Kandi To Sell My Tickets’
“It’s drag Kandi to sell my tickets. That’s basically what it is,” Burruss said.
The clip comes as Tucker promotes ticketed screenings and live Q&As around his self-produced film and series. Promotional material has positioned the project as the other side of the story after Burruss’s own “I Do. I Did. I’m Done.” tour and public comments about their split.
The project that sparked the latest round
Tucker, a former RHOA producer who left the show to date Burruss, released a trailer in September 2026 for ’Til Divorce Do Us Part. In it, he discusses the aftermath of their marriage ending, including dark moments after the split. One of the most circulated moments features fellow RHOA alum Peter Thomas asking whether Tucker and Burruss had threesomes during their marriage. Tucker replies that they did “for most of” their nearly 12-year relationship.
Burruss responded at the time in a statement to People, calling the disclosure an attempt to “sensationalize our sex life to stretch his five minutes of fame.” She did not deny that consensual threesomes happened. She objected to him putting private marital details back in public after the divorce. “What consensually happens between a husband and wife in the privacy of their marriage is exactly that—private,” she said. “His current behavior has only confirmed that I did the right thing by getting divorced. I Do, I Did, I’m Done!”
How they got here
Burruss and Tucker met in 2011 while he worked as a line producer on Season 4 of RHOA. They got engaged in 2013, married in April 2014 (the wedding was filmed for the Bravo spinoff Kandi’s Wedding), and share two children, Ace and Blaze. Each also has an adult daughter from a previous relationship.
Burruss filed for divorce in November 2025 after what she later described as a specific turning-point situation in July 2025. The split included a custody dispute before they reached a settlement in March 2026. They agreed to joint physical and legal custody. Under the deal, Burruss paid Tucker a six-figure equalization amount and he moved out of her home. Their parenting plan also requires written consent before either parent puts the children in filmed or commercial content.
Months after the divorce was finalized, the former couple still vacationed together with their kids, presenting a relatively cooperative co-parenting picture in public. The latest trailer and ticketed events have put that truce under strain again.
Can she control the story?
That is the question the clip’s poster put to viewers: Do you think Kandi can control how Todd Tucker tells his story?
Legally, the answer is mostly no. Once a marriage is over, neither spouse owns the other person’s memories or narrative. Tucker is entitled to talk about his experience, just as Burruss has talked about hers through music, a tour, interviews, and Bravo. What she can do is refuse to participate, issue statements, and remind audiences that his project is being sold, in part, on her fame.
That is exactly the line she drew in the interview. In her view, the project is not a standalone story about a man processing divorce. It is a product that needs her name on the poster to fill seats.
Fans in the replies split along familiar Housewives lines. Some called her hypocritical given how much of their marriage already played out on television and in her own stage work. Others said airing intimate details after the papers are signed is a different move than living a public marriage while it was still intact.
Either way, the pattern is clear. Their relationship started on a reality show, was documented through a wedding special, survived years of Bravo storylines, ended in a public divorce, and is now generating competing ticketed products. “Drag Kandi to sell my tickets” is Burruss’s blunt summary of the latest chapter. Tucker’s camp would likely say he is simply telling his side. Audiences will decide which version they are willing to pay for.

Todd Tucker is telling his side of the story. In a candid interview tied to his forthcoming docuseries Til Divorce Do Us Part, the producer and former Real Housewives of Atlanta fixture detailed the isolation that followed his split from Kandi Burruss, addressed her public frustration over comments about their sex life, and described the relief of no longer having her mother, Mama Joyce Jones, as a daily presence.
The couple married in April 2014 after meeting on Season 4 of RHOA. They share son Ace, 10, and daughter Blaze, 6, and each has an adult daughter from a previous relationship. Burruss announced she was moving forward with divorce in November 2025; they settled in March 2026 with joint legal and physical custody.
Isolation, dark thoughts, and rebuilding
Tucker, 53, said that after the separation he stayed in the guesthouse on the property while his family was next door. The alone time was heavy. “It was a lot of time in my head, thinking, trying to figure out, ‘What did I just do? What just happened? Did I lose my family?’ So I’m gonna be honest, I had nobody really to lean on,” he told Page Six.
Kandi Burruss asks Todd Tucker to stop ‘sensationalizing’ their sex life.
He reiterated a moment he also discusses in the docuseries: during especially painful stretches, he “looked at [his] gun.” He said he snapped out of it by focusing on his children. “No, you have a family. You have kids that you have to see them through.” He has been attending church and plans to start therapy as he works on “rebuilding myself” and being the best co-parent he can.
If you or someone you know is struggling, contact the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.
Tucker framed the project as his counterpart to Burruss’s “I Do. I Did. I’m Done.” tour. He said men often carry stress until it becomes a health crisis, and he wanted to model getting it out without bashing anyone. After this, he said, he plans to fade from the conversation and focus on films and other projects.
The threesome comments
A trailer moment that drew Burruss’s sharp response showed RHOA alum Peter Thomas asking Tucker about threesomes. Tucker replied that they had, “for most of our marriage.” Burruss later said he was “choosing to sensationalize [their] sex life to stretch his five minutes of fame” and that what happens between spouses is private.
Tucker pushed back. He noted that Burruss had spoken about their intimate life on RHOA, on Kandi Koated Nights, and through her Bedroom Kandi line—often without consulting him first. “I’m not throwing out there any new information,” he said. “It was just a conversation.” He asked rhetorically how private their marital sex life could be after years of her own public comments.
What ended the marriage, according to Todd
Tucker was vague about the specific “incident” involving another woman that he says led Burruss to end things; he said he will elaborate in the docuseries. Friends suggested flowers. He said the problems were bigger than that and set up therapy. In his view, she wanted the immediate issue fixed first; he wanted to address the overall relationship. When he felt she was not willing to fight for it with him, he “bowed out.” He added that he had made vows to stay foreverand would have done so.1
He does not fully blame reality television but said it “played a part.” On co-parenting, he said they put anger aside for the kids and that there is “never any tension” when it comes to Ace and Blaze
Mama Joyce and the “weight lifted”
Tucker said he “allowed a lot of disrespect” from Burruss’s mother, Mama Joyce, over the years while trying to prove himself to someone who did not like him. Not having her directly in his life now “feels like a weight lifted off his shoulders.” He still encourages the children to stay connected to their grandmother.
He is not dating. He said he needs time to get himself together before he can be a good partner to someone else.
Tucker is premiering the docuseries alongside his film Don’t Bring Your Man to Atlanta at an AMC Theatres event next month. After years of being labeled on Housewives without speaking much, he said he simply wanted to be heard—then go quiet.
The public back-and-forth continues a very public chapter for two people who built a blended family, businesses, and a long on-camera life together. Tucker’s version emphasizes loneliness, accountability to his kids, and the right to tell his side. Burruss has emphasized privacy, peace, and that his recent comments confirmed her decision to leave. Both say the children come first.

Kelli Potter, the Real Housewives of Atlanta chef and restaurateur, recently underwent Lipo 360 plus J-Plasma and shared early results days after surgery. The posts, circulating in mid-September 2026, quickly drew both compliments on her contour and pointed criticism tied to her on-show feuds, finances, and past comments about co-star Drew Sidora.
Potter, formerly known as Kelli Ferrell, joined RHOA in later seasons after building a public profile as the “Queen of Waffles” behind Nana’s Chicken-N-Waffles.
RHOA Star Kelli Potter Undergoes Lipo
She has spoken about divorce from Mark Ferrell, co-parenting four daughters, restaurant struggles, and a more than $217,000 default judgment tied to a business loan. Creditors have sought bank information that could lead to account seizures.
The Procedure
Lipo 360 targets fat around the midsection—abdomen, flanks, waist, and back—in a full-circle approach. J-Plasma (also called Renuvion) uses helium plasma energy to tighten skin after fat removal, aiming to reduce looseness that liposuction alone can leave. Combined procedures are marketed for more defined results with relatively quicker visible change than traditional lipo. Potter’s content, including video of her 5-days-post-op experience with Dr. Ladipo, has been described by some accounts as appearing sponsored.
Early footage and photos showed her in compression garments discussing recovery. Supporters said the results already looked improved. Detractors questioned whether the work went beyond advertised Lipo 360 and J-Plasma.
Criticisms and Online Backlash
The loudest reaction centered on hypocrisy. Earlier in 2026, after Drew Sidora shared her own Lipo 360 results, Potter and Sidora traded body-shaming comments. Sidora had previously likened Potter’s figure to a “stuffed Cornish hen.” Potter posted before-and-after images of Sidora and wrote that she would “always be a SpongeBob box shaped Buick even after you got the P special”—a reference to the hourglass look associated with some Atlanta Housewives procedures. Fans immediately noted Potter then pursued a similar midsection procedure.
Comments across X and Instagram repeated the same themes: she “had all that smoke for Drew just to go get the same procedure,” called her a “weird ass bitch” for the turnaround, and said she “never beating the hater allegations.” Others accused her of getting a BBL in addition to Lipo 360 because of how her lower body appeared in after photos. Some simply said a daily walk would have produced comparable change without surgery.
Financial timing drew equally sharp remarks. Viewers pointed to the outstanding judgment and restaurant-related debt while she paid for elective cosmetic work. Comments included “Lipo over paying past due debt,” “priorities are mixed up,” and questions about whether she “paid Gary back.” A few noted she had previously emphasized limited prior work (such as breast implants) while criticizing others.
Additional aesthetic critiques mentioned unbalanced proportions—larger upper body versus legs—or that her original shape did not require the procedure. A smaller group defended her, saying she looks good, adults can choose body work, and fans should not police women’s decisions.
Context on RHOA and Potter’s Public Image
Potter’s time on the show overlapped with divorce, financial pressure, restaurant expansion and contraction, and high-volume fights with Porsha Williams and others. She has described filming as one of the hardest periods of her life because personal crises played out on camera and then again in public reaction. Cosmetic procedures are common among Housewives casts and frequently become plot points or reunion fodder. Potter’s choice fits that pattern while colliding with her own earlier shade and documented money troubles.
The discussion illustrates two recurring realities of reality television: cast members often get the same work they once mocked, and viewers treat unpaid debts as fair game when a star posts new curves. Potter has not issued a lengthy public response to the latest wave of comments in the available coverage. Results from Lipo 360 plus J-Plasma typically continue to settle over months as swelling drops and skin tightens further.
Whether the procedure was a private confidence move, a sponsored appearance, or both, it has become another chapter in Potter’s already turbulent RHOA run—one that fans are using to score old grudges as much as to evaluate surgical outcomes.

Porsha Williams says she underwent an emergency partial hysterectomy in May 2026 after doctors found 21 uterine fibroids, including one the size of a cantaloupe.
In an exclusive CBS Mornings interview with Gayle King, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star described the speed of the diagnosis, the shock of waking up after surgery, and why she is speaking publicly now.
Porsha Williams Says She Underwent Emergency Partial Hysterectomy Due To Uterine Fibroids
“It all happened so fast. It really didn’t hit me until I woke up in the hospital bed,” Williams said.
The conversation, posted by CBS Mornings on September 18, 2026, is part of a broader day of candor: Williams also published a first-person essay in Glamour about the years of treatments she tried in order to keep her fertility, and the grief of losing that choice at 45.
A condition she first learned about while pregnant
Williams has lived with fibroids since her late 20s. She said she had barely heard of them until she was trying to have a child. A doctor found a fibroid during pregnancy-related exams. By four months, she said, the growth had outgrown the baby. She miscarried.
She later had a myomectomy, then welcomed her daughter, Pilar, in 2019 — a pregnancy she has long called her rainbow baby. Fibroids returned during that pregnancy as well. In her final month she was on bed rest while fibroids degenerated. She later underwent uterine fibroid embolization, a procedure meant to shrink fibroids while leaving the uterus in place, and believed the problem had been solved.
It had not.
Symptoms she blamed on perimenopause
At 45, after a divorce and while raising her daughter, Williams assumed she was finished having children. When heavy bleeding, long cycles, migraines, and fatigue returned, she attributed them to perimenopause.
The turning point was almost accidental. She accompanied a friend to a fertility appointment about egg freezing and asked the doctor to examine her, too.
“She started looking into, you know, doing the exam, and she went silent. And I looked at the screen, and all I could see was, like, black, and then I started seeing some circular lines. And I’m like, ‘Not again. Not again.’ They had come back,” Williams told King.
A fertility specialist was “in shock” at what a vaginal exam showed and sent her immediately for an MRI. Imaging found more than 15 large fibroids, plus endometriosis and a problem with the uterine lining. Surgery followed about two weeks later, in May 2026. In the operating room, doctors found 21 fibroids. The largest was compared to a cantaloupe. The procedure was a partial hysterectomy: her uterus was removed; her ovaries were left in place.
Williams has said she did not have a real choice. In Glamour, she wrote that the surgery saved her life and that her quality of life has improved “100 percent” — migraines, iron problems, bladder pressure, and other symptoms eased. She also wrote that she woke up thinking a part of her was gone, and that she had to grieve the possibility of more biological children.
Why she is talking now
Williams framed the interview as a warning against self-diagnosis.
“We have to stop diagnosing ourselves. There are so many different things when it comes to a woman that you need to get checked, and we need to learn to advocate for ourselves,” she said. “If I saw somebody like me sitting here with you talking about fibroids, it would have clicked to ask for it. I had to ask my doctor to check for fibroids after something was wrong.”
That message lands on well-documented disparities. Uterine fibroids are extremely common. By age 50, more than 80 percent of Black women have ultrasound evidence of fibroids, compared with nearly 70 percent of white women. Black women tend to develop them earlier, with more numerous and larger growths and more severe symptoms. Hysterectomy has long been a frequent treatment, though patterns of who receives uterus-sparing procedures versus removal have shifted over time depending on the study and insurance population.
Williams has been public about miscarriage, infertility, and fibroids before. What she had kept private until this year was how far the disease progressed after she thought she was done treating it — and how quickly “maybe this is just perimenopause” became emergency surgery.
She is still working. Credits mentioned around the interview include The Traitors and Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. The health story she is telling now is less about a franchise than about a condition many women, especially Black women, live with for years before anyone names it on a screen.

Todd Tucker is trying to have it both ways. Days after his ex-wife Kandi Burruss accused him of “sensationalizing” their sex life for attention, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta producer sat down on Yung Joc & The Streetz Morning Takeover and offered something that sounded like an apology — and something that sounded like a rebuttal.
The clip spreading Thursday frames the moment simply: Tucker apologizes after revealing private details about their marriage, including that the couple had threesomes for most of their 11 years together.
Todd Tucker Addresses Kandi Burruss After Airing Their Sex Life — Then Softens the Blow On Radio
The fuller interview is more complicated. He says he never wanted a public smear campaign. He also says Burruss’s statement is “not accurate,” and that he will not accept that kind of disrespect from her camp again.
How the latest fight started
The spark was not the radio interview. It was a trailer.
On September 14, Tucker posted promotional footage for ’Til Divorce Do Us Part, a self-produced project about his life after the split. In the clip, fellow RHOA alum Peter Thomas — Cynthia Bailey’s ex-husband — asks whether Tucker and Burruss really had threesomes. Tucker does not hedge.
“We did,” he says. “I would say for most of our marriage we did.”
Thomas’s punchline — that he is “a saint” by comparison — is what made the moment travel. Within 48 hours, the quote was everywhere: People, Page Six, Us Weekly, Bravo’s Daily Dish. The marketing around Tucker’s project made the framing even sharper. Promotional copy has sold the series as the other side of Burruss’s story: “Kandi’s tour gave you one side. This is the other side. What she didn’t say. What went down behind closed doors.”
Burruss answered the next day in a statement to People. She did not deny that consensual threesomes happened. She objected to him putting them back in public after the divorce.
“A man who has already hurt me to my core is furthering the damage by choosing to sensationalize our sex life to stretch his five minutes of fame,” she said. “What consensually happens between a husband and wife in the privacy of their marriage is exactly that — private. His current behavior has only confirmed that I did the right thing by getting divorced. I Do, I Did, I’m Done!”
The last line is a callback to her one-woman show about the end of the marriage. That is part of why this fight feels circular. Both of them have already turned the divorce into content. The argument now is over who crossed the line, and by how much.
What Tucker actually said on the radio
On Thursday’s Streetz Morning Takeover appearance with Yung Joc, Mz Shyneka, and Shawty Shawty, Tucker walked through the backlash and then delivered a message aimed at Burruss.
He argued that the threesome comment was not a new confession. Burruss has talked about bringing other people into their sex life before, including on her Kandi Koated Nights platform. In Tucker’s telling, the trailer was a “normal conversation,” not a hyped tell-all. “I haven’t given out any new information,” he said. “I’m not doing a tell-all book or nothing like that. I’m just talking about my emotions and feelings as I went through a divorce.”
Then he read her statement on air and rejected it.
“That statement is not accurate,” he said. “If you’ve been talking about threesomes the whole time, how are you saying it’s private now?” He also said he is “not trying to bash her” or “hurt her.” Clips circulating from the same interview go further: Tucker says Burruss needs to fire “the whole team” over the wording, and that he will never take that kind of disrespect from her family or team again.
The apology, such as it is, comes at the end. Looking toward camera, he said he did not want any of this, would never smear her name, and would “never say nothing foul.”
“She would forever be my people. That’s it. 100%.”
He also said he would not have left the marriage. “I think we needed some work, but no. I would have never left.” He described the divorce as one of the worst experiences of his life, second only to his mother’s death, and said he is going to church and planning to start therapy. “Brothers, we got to talk. We got to get it off our chest.”
That is the version of the interview now traveling as an apology. It is less a clean “I’m sorry I said it” than a “I didn’t mean to hurt you, and I still consider you family.” For some listeners, that distinction will not matter. For others, it will be the whole story.
The marriage they keep relitigating
Tucker and Burruss met in 2011 while he was working as a line producer on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. They got engaged in 2013 and married in April 2014 in a ceremony Bravo turned into Kandi’s Wedding. They share two children, Ace, 10, and Blaze, 6. Burruss also has daughter Riley from a previous relationship; Tucker has daughter Kaela.
Burruss announced the split on November 21, 2025, saying the decision came after “deep thought and a lot of prayer” and that her focus was peace, co-parenting, and her own growth. She later told Andy Cohen she knew the marriage was over months before the public announcement, pointing to a July 2025 incident she has not detailed. The divorce was finalized in March 2026. Reports on the settlement have described joint legal and physical custody and a lump-sum payment from Burruss to Tucker of about $426,000.
Even after the paperwork was done, they did not fully disappear from each other’s lives. In June, Burruss posted from a family vacation with Tucker and the kids. In one clip, she panned to him poolside with a Daily Prayers for Men book and joked that she never saw that version of him during nearly 12 years of marriage. “He should’ve started praying a long time ago,” she said. When a fan asked if reconciliation was coming, she shut it down: “Nah, I am not healed.”
That is the awkward backdrop to this week. They are co-parents. They are also two public figures still mining the same relationship for separate projects.
Why the “privacy” argument cut so deep
The threesome talk is not, strictly speaking, a secret in RHOA lore. Burruss has acknowledged at times that she and Tucker experimented in their marriage. She has also spent years batting away specific rumors, including a 2019 claim involving friend Shamea Morton that she denied. What changed is the timing and the packaging.
During the marriage, talking about their sex life was part of the brand. After the divorce, Burruss’s position is that consent to the act is not consent to the press tour. Tucker’s position is that she already put the subject in the public record, and that his project is about his feelings, not a sex recap.
Both things can be true at once. A couple can have discussed an open bedroom on reality TV and still feel exposed when one of them repeats it, months after the split, in a trailer designed to sell tickets. That is why the internet reaction split so quickly. Some viewers heard Burruss drawing a reasonable post-divorce boundary. Others heard Tucker pointing out a double standard. On X, replies to the radio clips included both: that he should not be discussing the mother of his children’s private sex life, and that nobody would watch his documentary if Kandi’s name were not attached to it.
Tucker is not pretending the attention is accidental. He is taking ’Til Divorce Do Us Part and his film Don’t Bring Your Man to Atlanta on a multi-city theater tour, with New York dates listed for October 2–4. The radio hit was also a promo stop. He can say he is processing a divorce in public and still be using the most viral detail from the marriage to get people in the door. Those motives are not mutually exclusive.
What this moment actually reveals
The X post that prompted this article captured the headline people wanted: Todd apologizes. The interview underneath it is a familiar post-reality-TV maneuver. Acknowledge the hurt. Reject the characterization. Keep the project moving.
Tucker wants credit for not “smearing” Burruss while continuing to build a tour around the idea that her version of the story left things out. Burruss wants the bedroom declared off-limits now that the marriage is over, after years of a public life in which almost nothing stayed off-limits. Their children still have to live in the space between those two strategies.
If there is a real apology in Thursday’s interview, it is this much: Tucker says he did not want the war, would not have chosen the divorce, and still considers Burruss “his people.” If there is a real limit to that apology, it is everything else he said in the same hour — that her statement is wrong, that her team bungled it, and that the trailer did not reveal anything the audience had not already been invited to wonder about.
The marriage is over. The argument about who gets to narrate it is not.

Kandi Burruss is pushing back after her ex-husband, Todd Tucker, publicly discussed their intimate life while promoting a new project.
In a trailer for his upcoming film ’Til Divorce Do Us Part, Tucker is asked by fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Peter Thomas whether he and Burruss had threesomes during their marriage. Tucker replies, “We did. I would say most of our marriage we did.”
Kandi Burruss Speaks Out on Todd
Burruss, who was married to Tucker from 2014 until their split was announced in November 2025, responded in a statement to People. She did not dwell on the claim itself. Instead, she focused on the decision to make it public.
“A man who has already hurt me to my core is furthering the damage by choosing to sensationalize our sex life to stretch his five minutes of fame,” Burruss said. “What consensually happens between a husband and wife in the privacy of their marriage is exactly that—private. His current behavior has only confirmed that I did the right thing by getting divorced. I Do, I Did, I’m Done!”
That last line is also the title of Burruss’s one-woman show, which she has used to tell her side of the marriage and its end.
The couple’s 11-year marriage was often discussed on RHOA, including their sex life. Burruss has previously acknowledged that they sometimes brought other people into the bedroom, while describing it as occasional rather than a constant feature of the marriage. Tucker’s trailer comment frames it as something that happened for “most” of their time together. The current fight is less about whether anything consensual happened and more about who gets to talk about it after the divorce.

Burruss announced the split in November 2025, saying the decision came after “deep thought and a lot of prayer” and that her focus was on protecting her peace, being a mother, and co-parenting with respect. The divorce was later finalized. Tucker has said ’Til Divorce Do Us Part is, in part, a response to Burruss’s public account of the breakup.
Her new statement draws a hard line: private marital intimacy stays private, even after the marriage ends. In her view, Tucker’s comments are not candor. They are publicity. And they have only reinforced the conclusion she already reached: the marriage is over, and she is done.
