Update: Todd Tucker filed an objection to Kandi Burruss’ motion to seal their divorce documents.
According to vlogger Michelle Brown, Todd argued that Kandi has publicly discussed the divorce with news outlets and bloggers.
Georgia court records are public, but Kandi filed a request to make the records private soon after filing for divorce from Todd late last year.
Todd contended that Kandi’s request is overbroad and should be rejected.
Michelle Brown has more details below.

Friends and family warned Kandi Burruss that Todd Tucker was the wrong man for her, but she didn’t listen. Now after filing for divorce from Todd, Kandi says she’s tired of paying for everything.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta veteran filed for an emergency hearing on January 8.
In the court filing, Kandi claims she has been left to pay all the expenses for their two minor children, Ace and Blaze.
The documents claim Kandi is paying for everything from school tuition to medical bills and daily necessities for the children.
She’s also paying a mortgage on her home, plus the house where Todd lays his head when he’s in town. She’s paying for everything, despite Todd having several streams of income. He’s allegedly not contributing financially.
Kandi said the arrangement has placed a financial strain on her and she wants Todd to play a bigger role in their co-parenting duties.
Her complaint conflicts with public remarks she’s made about their civil relationship in the past.
Kandi also alleges that Todd has taken multiple vacations overseas while she struggles to raise their 2 children alone. Thankfully, she has extended family to help out. But they have their own lives to live.
She also claims that Todd’s “Daddy Daycare” persona on social media is fake, and that he only comes to see the children to record videos for his social media pages.
Kandi appeared on Amazon Live recently and answered some questions from fans. The 49-year-old reality star looked exhausted and worn out from the drama in her life.
When asked if she thought she and Todd could be friends after the divorce, she replied, “Yes. I think after a divorce, I think anybody should be able to – hopefully. Don’t get me started lying (laughs).”

Kandi added, “I hope. I hope we get to be friends. That would be the goal. But you know, I think when you’re going through the divorce, people get on your nerves, and you really start looking at ’em differently. So that’s why I’m, like, I’m hoping that we can make it through unscathed.”
An inside source says Kandi and Todd’s divorce is not a stunt – and they really are divorcing, despite their occasional friendly outward appearances.
