Highlights From Kandi Burrus’ Live Chat Last Night
If you missed last night’s Live Chat with former Xscape member, Grammy award winning singer/songwriter, and now tv personality Kandi Burruss, here are the highlights.
We asked Kandi if the drama on Real Housewives of Atlanta was tweaked by the directors.
“You can’t make up some of that mess we do and say,” she laughed. For example, Kandi mentioned a fight with cast member Kim Zolciak, which occurred off-camera before the production team had a chance to set up. Kandi said the directors asked her and Kim to talk about the fight while the cameras were rolling.
“They put you in the best position for drama to happen. But it’s not forced or fake,” said Kandi.
She also discussed DeShawn Snow, the first RHOA cast member to be booted from the show last season. Kandi suggested that DeSahwn’s stoicism and no-nonsense personality may have done her in.
” They picked the right people for the show. I feel like maybe that’s why DeShawn got kicked off because she never gave them the vibe that they could push her buttons. For reality tv to work, you have to be yourself and not be afraid of criticism.
If you’re too guarded, it’s boring. It’s going to look like your guarded. People like Kim [Zolciak] who have a crazy personality are better suited for reality tv. She’s hilarious! Just being around her [and] the stuff she says, it’s just hilarious.”
We asked Kandi about the show’s protrayal of black men in Atlanta as feminine, purse carrying trannies, and lazy men who live primarily off their bread-winning wives.
Kandi was quick to defend Lisa Wu Hartwell’s deadbeat husband, former NFL star Ed Hartwell. “Give him a chance,” she said. “He just left his job with the NFL. He’s working on some things right now. He’s doing his thing.”

Live Chat: Kandi Burruss, Tomorrow!
Former Xscape singer and Grammy winning songwriter Kandi Burrus has graciously agreed to participate in a live chat tomorrow right here on Sandrarose.com!
As you know, Kandi and the rest of her RHOA castmates will shoot the season Finale show tonight at an undisclosed location.
R&B Diva Monica and legendary rapper Mia X kicked off the Live Chats on SR last week, and they will make their chats a monthly feature! Last week’s chat went very well considering it was the first one we ever did.
In the meantime, on occasion, surprise celebrity guests stop by, like Kandi (it was a surprise to me because I didn’t think she would do it!)
Of course, that means Kandi will only answer comments from my registered members, although everyone else is free to lurk and read.
So get your questions ready and later on I will let you know the time of tomorrow’s chat!
Special thanks to legendary industry veteran Lisa McCall for making it happen!
