Kandi claims she already knew Porsha was returning.

“She and I had already talked. We had both discussed that we were both trying to figure out what we wanted to do,” she said.

Kandi denied reports that she was forced to leave so Porsha could come back. “That wasn’t the case… Bravo was trying to get us both to come back. So it wasn’t an either or situation.”
