Kandi is iconic. She gave us tardy for the party, mama Joyce, Don Juan and the crew, xscape drama, the best reunion when phaedra got exposed. I mean we’ll miss her.
@@CherylRedmond-se1ji for making up a lie about Kandi and her husband and used poor Portia to take the fall until ish hit the fan. It was disgusting for her to be an atty. Had Kandi, Portia and Andy not given her grace her punishment could have been a total different outcome.
@@CherylRedmond-se1ji do you know the incident? We’re you watching the show when Portia and Phaedra were on there? If you were you know the lie cause it was catastrophic. If not do you have Demand on your TV? You can go back and watch it.
Yep she sent a text out earlier giving a little additional information “Hey! Thanks for being a part of my text family. I didn't know when I was planning to share my decision about not coming back to RHOA. On the Grammy carpet I just went ahead & said it. I hope I still have your support & I will do a more formal post about my decision by Wednesday. I will also send you a text as some of the things I'm working on can be announced. 😘❤️” per kandi
@@Gods1andonly so she really have people working on RU-vid, and all them RU-vidrs that's pushing her videos y'all still couldn't keep her on show!! It makes perfect sense why everybody is thinking the same saying the same foolishness, about her when is a complete lie .that's why the truth or revealed the lie and she's not the show, she got millions and millions of followers but none of y'all watched her show your fake. Because everyone knows she's not entertaining
So why act like y'all didn't know that she was fired from The real housewives when we all knew that she was!! So she really got y'all out here working your RU-vid channel, are y'all getting paid? This is why Michelle ATL Brown is the truth because she cannot be sold off and selling her soul and her RU-vid channel for little piece of Fame .. That's why nobody's talking about that email that they just let the world know that she really went behind all them ladies back for her own personal gain.
The show will NEVER be the same without you! Thank you for the years of entertainment, laughter and happiness you have given us these past 14 seasons! I know your next journey is going to be amazing and I’ll be waiting for those nuggets to drop! ♥ forever Miss Worldwide!
It was time! It’s the end of an era. Unpopular opinion, RHOA should just be left alone: No recast, nobody new, bring no one back. Just leave it as history. When television was great!
I think they should just end it and in a couple of years do a reunion special with everyone that ever appeared on the show to update us on what everyone is up to 😂
@CherylRedmond-se1ji Quit or got fired, either way she left out like a champ with big things on the horizon. Meanwhile, Nene is co-hosting a Zeus baddies reunion and already complaining about it.
@@truthmatters7298 bravo offered her a shity contract on purpose so ofc she quit. This is how they "fire" you without firing you. Bravo fires no one they just make it so uncomfortable where you want to leave its sad af
Awe Justin you look like you wanted to cry friend this is bittersweet to see Kandi go I’m a Kandi Stan myself I actually did shed a tear I met her 8 years ago at tags boutique and we took a picture and she posted it on her ig and tagged me in it she such a sweetheart it really is the end of the golden era tribute to a legendary icon❤
It was and is disrespectful how Bravo/Andy Cohen treated this franchise. Let's not forget RHOA put Bravo and Andy Cohen on the map, so to have these ladies just sitting around wondering if they have a job or not was not cool at all.
This is my opinion! They need a whole new cast.. They do not need Kenya Nor Porsche.. I have nothing against neither one of them just stating my opinion..
Who's chopping onions now?! 🥺🥺🥺 Kandi's departure is so graceful and elegant like the beautiful soul she is.... From South Africa 🇿🇦 with love Justin 😉
For her and Todd to have they own production they couldve been doing something else on their own without bravo. It just goes to show you whatever be said and unseen there's always a catch 22 on it. I'm just saying and I digress
Kandi is definitely an icon. She always stayed true to herself. Wow…I am in shock but I feel good knowing she gave us her authentic self. RHOA won’t be the same!
Yesssss for the cherry the boom edit lmao!! I’m kinda sad Kandi is leaving. I lived for her ever since finding out who she was, but it was definitely overdue. I think with her relationship with Bravo and Andy she can definitely return if they wanted and she agreed.
*with over 10 years of tra ding experience, mrs tonya has gained herself a good reputation by helping a lot of persons build their finances' through inves'tments.*
I took a look at your advisor and she looks quite the part, I have always thought advisors overrated but taking a look at yours she gives off some confidence, might as well see what advice she has for me.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $21k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
I will miss Kandi on the show, but I wish her nothing but the best on her new adventure. I would love for RHOA to add Quad to the show. She would be a great addition.
First, I want to say I love seeing you on camera even though the bobble head was fun you on camera is even better!! NOW Kandi is and will forever be my favorite housewife!!! So my heart completely sank when I found out. But I know she is about to do some spin offs and I'm hoping Kandi & The Gang returns as one of them‼️🥲🤎🤎🤎🤎
I found out that night from Busy Blu and I almost fell out. She is iconic and I will miss her. All of her was real on the show. I’m going to miss her and her family. 💔
Justin It’s good that you spoke so highly about Kandi. I always hear bloggers talking negatively about her. I really respect her business moves. She really was the smartest of the bunch. Kandi was able to build her brand and keep a low profile. Maybe it was the alliance with Kenya that turned viewers off. I am definitely looking forward to her new projects.
From what I gathered from Carlos King who I believe to be a credible source, Kandi WAS asked back but most likely as a friend of in a limited capacity and with less money obviously. So technically she was asked back, but I doubt she would of been full time making the pay she’s used to making so I’m sure that played a BIG part in her leaving on her own. It was either leave before you’re fired or stay on as a friend of and be fizzled out with your story wrapping up in a handful of episodes. Basically they was going to do her how they did NeNe and Vicki
Kandi left like someone with good sense. That's why Bravo left the door open for her. I love Kandi's work ethics. I don’t care who has a problem with her.
You pointing out that Phaedra could help RHOA right now May be why Kandi is taking a break. Maybe they ARE bring Phaedra back due to low ratings & Kandi refuses to film with her so she’s leaving 👀 idk I’m just guessing 😂
I think it was a scheme that her and the network set up they knew they weren't bringing her back and that could be embarrassing for her and since she always had a good relationship with the network they allowed her to quit publicly before they made any formal announcements
Thanks for sharing your personal experience with Kandi. Her departure makes me sad too. And I think trying to bring OGs back is just going to lead to more disappointment. It maybe time for a complete reboot or cancellation.
Kandi revealed to Jason Lee that there was one thing that they couldn’t agree on with her contract. I have to question if she would have returned if they could have reached an agreement on that “one thing.” Either way, she had a great run, and I wish her well in her future endeavors.
You know she would have, I mean I don't know how the money that they get be issued out, but $2 million + dollars that she was getting and wasn't doing a thing for it. I'm just saying and I digress.
Kandi was one of the housewives that I liked, even when Nene left, she kept me watching. Good luck to her ... pause in the RHOA series. I love to hate Phaedra after the stunt she pulled using Porsha, but she wouldn't compel me to watch if she came back. J/S.
Off topic I was looking at Potomac with that new girls unboxing 2 year old wedding gifts that was tacky for her guess to know!🤨 And next episode crowning her princess of Potomac😮 that feels like a change coming to them too!! Kandi gon be good she got 4 more jobs✌️
3 Seasons too late her family and friends were the ONLY THINGS, she brought to the table. Her azz was paid the most to be a bore & then NOT show up, best part.
Bye Bravo! When Kandi Go~~~We Go Too Ova Here~~~ Kandi is not only the OG of RHOA. . . .She's the ONLY REAL HOUSEWIFE WIT A HUSBAND to makeup A Family Unit. Say what ya'll want to say about her. . . . but she is definitely unbothered while standing on her Business(s). Rise Kandi Rise, you've clearly understood the assignment and will always come through on your grind. Kandi and Todd are the ONLY House Hold Wholesome Family on the Real Housewives of the Atl going strong and making it happen.
Honestly, I think they’re going to bring Phaedra back and Kandi has said many times if that were to happen she would quit the show. And since we now know Porsha is coming back I think this is real possibility.
Andy gave Kandi her flowers 🌸 🌺 on his radio show. He definitely expressed his love and respect for Kandi… therefore it was her choice to leave but Andy stated the DOOR IS OPEN for Kandi to return whenever she would like to. Much Luv for Kandii!!!
Truth is…. Bravo was waiting for her to quit. Thats why they wouldn’t give her any information to plan her schedule around. They didn’t give her an offer and left her in the dark until she got inpatient. 😐 No shade but all the love she gets didn’t reflect in ratings. She’s successful yes, just not in viewers eyes on the show. She refused to address the fallout with she and Phaedra which was the juiciest ☕️ storyline no matter how bad it was. It WAS REALITY. 🤷🏾♀️ 2:43
Kandi was too business 👩💼 for RHOA. She was just too private about certain things that could’ve been interesting. She controlled too much so they had to create stupid petty drama to counteract that, that she then had the defend on her show “Speak on it” Kandi was just too controlling for reality TV. She didn’t let her life just be told. She had to control what we would see. I just don’t think she was unapologetically herself and it gave inauthentic. She never really works through her drama, she just acts like it’s not there and flex’s money and success. Money isn’t everything. Especially for people watching who don’t have it like that. Kandi became non relatable. She was just very prideful. Especially as Todd as apart of production. It was spun too much in her favor which became unfair. 🤷🏾♀️
@@deb4623 Yes, because their viewership had gone down extremely low. The show became predictable. Nobody wants to keeps seeing her flex all the time. Kandi was controlling and she always let her husband get disrespected by her mother and family. Nobody wants that to look up to in their marriage. It was extremely dysfunctional and disrespectful. No husbands want to see their wives thinking that that’s okay. There was really no head of the house hierarchy. Kandi is all over the place.
Or she got fired and they both playing it off. You just never know. But like Katt Williams said 2024 is when the truth comes out, so at some point in this year the truth will come out sooner or later. But anywho I DIGRESS
I'm sad to see Kandi go, but she had an impressive run. ❤ She's an icon! 💖 And Kandi is my favorite Real Housewife from Atlanta, next to Cynthia Bailey. 💖 I will miss her dearly, but I'm sure she's onto bigger and better things. And who knows? Maybe we'll see her back sooner than we thought. 😊
You can't quit something that hasn't literally and legally started lol. It's called, negotiations didn't go as planned and they're moving on to the next as she is too (whoop-de-do!). For me personally, she's been done since long ago (FF or mute her scenes).
You really shouldn't let the world know how delusional you are....there's been no negotiations BRAVO has been silent. They don't even know if RHOA will be returning. Kandi doesn't need BRAVO's $2M check, she has many streams of income. Which is why SHE made this decision. Kandi doesn't have to play the waiting game like the other ladies. Kandi has other projects. 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅
Andy said Kandi was making plays behind the scenes. She’ll always have a place a Bravo she made them a lot of money... I will say that her lack of a storyline has been boring but she always keep a job and a check hunty
She’s a staple in RHOA but I’m interested to get an update on her in 1-2 as Andy said on his radio show. The door will be open for her when and if she wants to come back.
Dang that’s really why the only way I watched RHOA Kandi, Kenya, nene I still watch the old episodes Kandi gave us everything I mean everything, from raising her daughter, baby daddy drama, her mom, losing her fiance, Phaedra plot, finding new love, her wedding, then her new movie, I can go on she will be miss on RHOA but can’t wait to see what she what projects she working on now!
I will say it’ll be very strange no longer seeing her, but I want her happy. Andy spoke so highly of her. Chhh hang up the show. SN: I saw she showed you love for your Birthday. I know she loves you
Kandi's departure from the show was not of her own choosing. It seems apparent that her role transitioned from that of a main cast member to that of a friend, accompanied by a significant reduction in her episode-based earnings. This strategic move by Bravo has paved the way for Porsha's return to the forefront. While we all love Kandi, let's be honest; she has not contributed a major or minor storyline of any interest or value to the show in multiple seasons. So, best of luck to her, and we are also looking forward to witnessing all the blessings manifesting in her life.
FACTS 💯 She said they couldn’t come to and agreement with her contract. So basically she didn’t like what they offered her. Or they were bringing Phaedra back and she didn’t want to have to engage with her. So she left.
She was offered a contract but not a very good one. They did the same thing to Nene and Cynthia when it was time to go. Offer them crappy contract in hopes they turn it down. Even if they don't turn it down they get them for a few episodes at a huge discount rate; which is a win-win for the network.
This is a good thing. It's best to leave on a high note. It was honestly time for Kandi to go. There was nothing interesting left for her to reveal about herself. It's time to bring in some new blood if we want RHOA to be worth watching again.
Has anyone heard Andy's popcast where he gave her ALL HER FLOWERS? If you haven't go have a listen. It made me cry. Bravo will ALWAYS be a home for Kandy as per Andy🎉🎉🎉
The show stopped being good when it became just a "job" and a "check" to the women it was not about making good tv anymore it became just showing up to work.
Now we need Porsha and let Phaedra come back and clear her name, break the fourth wall and repeat it was a producer that said that and she was protecting Porsha with a warning just in case. It's wrong that her explanation, seems true since she's still on bravo, was chopped from the reunion
I'm sorry but i don't believe she left on her free will. I believe bravo gave her a heads-up. The interview with Kenya you could tell she knew stuff. I've been saying the whole point of the Network rebooting the show is to save money given ratings aren't that great. So, the logical thing would be for them to get rid of Kandi and Kenya. 2 of the highest paid. Kandi is busy and we know she'll be back at some point. She'll be fine. 14 seasons wow.
Most of her businesses are connected to the show and only succeed because of the shows backing yes she gets no scrubs checks but those aren't enough to fund her lifestyle pay for her families lifestyle and support the workforce she employs and nbc gets a cut out of all the businesses she released on the show so bedroom Kandi, the restaurants and the movie
@terrellreggs8729 She's a good businesswoman. Rhianna wouldn't have Fenty if she wasn't known for being a recording artist. Kandi took her opportunity on RHOA and branched out, and created other opportunities for herself. Many housewives like Kenya, Nene, Porsha, Phadrea, and more have introduced or expanded their business on the show. The whole housewives's franchise has successfully women. So what is the issue with Kandi doing it. 🤔
Omg I have never seen your face until today. I always her your voice, but it's refreshing to see you. I love me som kandi, and I know she will continue to rise above 😂❤.
Rather or not it was kandi's decision to exit the show it doesn't matter..I'm proud of this incredible black woman...she's a true testament to black excellence...She's humble and true to who she is at all times...the most annoying thing about her is how she refuses at times to go lower with her shade...She was enjoyed and she will be missed...I'm wishing her success in her upcoming endeavors but honestly I enjoy seeing her as her so hopefully those endeavors include a reality show of some sort...instead of putting my Taurus sister down I wish her well and pray for her continued success. We need more black women like you! ❤❤❤
