Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has a lot on her hands when it comes to friends and her relationship with her fiancee Todd Tucker.
During RHOA season 6, episode 15, Kandi’s mom, Mama Joyce, left a volatile voicemail message for Kandi’s friend Karman where she was threatening bodily harm to Karmen about confronting someone named ‘Crystal’…
[FLASHBACK: RECAP: 5 Life Lessons Revealed on RHOA Season 6, Ep 15 (FULL VIDEO)]
Now ‘Crystal’ is speaking up and wants to share her side of the story since her name was brought up on the show!
Details + video below…
This may get kinda confusing (I was confused when I watched the video) so try to keep up…
Apparently Crystal (pictured above) is the woman that Karman called to curse out about spreading those vicious rumors about Karman hooking up with Kandi’s fiancee, Todd.
Kandi’s friend Karman
Crystal was once dating Benny, who I think is a friend of Kandi’s DJ, DJ-AOne.
Benny once confided to Crystal that he caught Todd and Karmen messing around, but she says she never really paid attention to the rumors. The couple lived together for a while, but things went sour and Crystal says she decided to kick him out of her house.
After Benny got kicked out, Crystal says he retaliated by telling Mama Joyce that she (Crystal) said that Todd and Karmen were messing around.
[Sidebar: Are you lost yet? This is a whole lotta he say/she say… ]
Watch Crystal’s explanation in the video below…
Crystal says in the video that has nothing to do with the rumors.
She also said she’s only coming forward because her name was mentioned on the popular reality show and that she’s tried calling and texting Kandi, but Kandi won’t return her calls.
Correct me if I’m wrong but from what I heard, Crystal says she wasn’t the one who STARTED the rumors about Karman & Todd but she never says the rumors aren’t true.
Interesting…
What do you think of Crystal’s story?
Believe it or not?

EXCLUSIVE: Kandi Burruss Speaks Out About Mama Joyce & Chuck Smith’s ‘One Hit Wonder’ Statement… [VIDEO]
a bunch of he say, she say..I feel like I´m in high school all over again reading this lol.. if todd is a cheater, “whats done in the dark will come to the light”..I wish they´d just let him and kandi live!
Find a hung OLDEAD and get mom’s some WORK!!
If I didn’t like someone my family member was dating, I’d tell said family member once and let it be. Nothing is more true than those things done in the dark. They will emerge like a plant from the ground when ready.
"Hello, Mr. Shine – I would like to make a 2:00 appointment. It doesn’t matter how or for how long, just so long as you land on me. Yes, I know you have more important clients and it would not be fair to share yourself with me, but I promise we can make it work."
Old lady needs a man bad!!!!!
The old lady needs someone to make her feel Good.
Too much he said she said…. Believe 10% of what you hear and 80% of what you see and 10% of it just ignore it………
My Mom used to say this all the time. If I was Crystal I doubt if I would’ve even bothered to respond. They never said her last name, and furthermore I saw this video on YT under the title "We Told Y’all Carman was F*cking Todd". After watching I didn’t see where that was proven. I did notice that Crystal made it a point to say how much she loved "Auntie Joyce", but didn’t seem to have as much "love" for Kandi despite what she said. Maybe she’s mad Kandi won’t answer her calls. If I were Kandi I would want to speak with Benny if anyone. Bet he won’t face her and admit he said any of this.
I believe Crystal. Manufactured Artificial Drama.
Of corse Kandi isn’t gonna respond or comment..because @ the end of the day Kandi’s lyin ass Mama looks like a lying trouble making snake!…and we all know Kandi is gonna back up her Mothers bullshit games no matter what!….smh…Kandi gonna get played the fool for the rest of her life…Mama Joyce is. Winning in this situation ….Shame Kandi can’t stand up to her Mama but she gets Big with the Other housewives……
NO MATTER HOW you look at it! EVERY story that comes out about this situation,calls Joyce Jones a liar! Sounds like Crystal is simply saying I didnt start this rumor and to her knowledge,she knows nothing about it happening!!!! Joyce has stirred this whole mess up,hoping and praying that Kandi being the weak daughter that she taught her to be,would fall for it! BUT,this time Kandi (although she’s a crying punk)did not leave Todd! Joyce,you are out of control! You need to do 3 things: 1.Wash your greasy face,2.straighten that wig (its always doin the gangsta lean)and pop a tic tac! Then go apologize to your daughter,your grand daughter and your future son in law! I can not for the life of me, understand why Todd is still there! It has to be love,for him to put up with Joyce( drunk ,crazy,and hot breath)! Kandi you wont talk with this girl,but you’ll pick up the phone for your mama to curse you and your fiance out! This situation is getting so old and tired! The only answer to this situation is for KANDI BURRUSS to grow the h*ll up! You are too old for this Kandi! H8ll your fart dont even have a smell..OLD A**! UGH!
He’s there for the MONEY!!!!!!! Duh!
Thank you! I don’t know why folks are cryin’ bout Todd leavin. He ain’t goin NOWHERE!
If he was smart, he would. I don’t like him anyway if he’s a cheater, though.
The irony of this is that women stay getting mad when men accuse them of being gold-diggers for wanting to marry money, but are quick to say the same thing about Todd. It’s hilarious how some people act when they get money, like they’re brand new and everybody wants it; perhaps they should only deal with other legitimately rich people. That would also include cutting off scheming relatives in particular.
If Little Big Head really is smart, he’d go on about his business and make his career happen. He actually has a job that could become something equal to or more than Kandi’s own fortune.
It kills me that people believe no one can actually love Kandi! That is so sad.Yall sound like Momma (I love her money ,not her)Joyce.
This.
x10
I believe her, Kandi never likes hearing the truth…especially when it comes to her ratchet ass mama
MOVE ON PLEASE!
I´m starting to believe that Karmen and Todd are messing around!!! Something just not right with those two! #team Moma Joyce
WHY?? Get off line Bertha!
I believe they all want a check.
I think all parties need to grow the f*** up and mind their own business. This story line is getting so old. What are they 12? Hard to believe grown ppl keep this kind of stupidity going week after week. Seriously no one cares.
Todd leaving Kandi for Karman will make a good storyline for season 8 or 9! lol
Maybe Tood, respects the fact that at least Karman has a backbone.
he cheatefd most men do in that celeb life all tjose strippets and.things yeah mamma joice o belirve you..
Momma Joyce want Todd! Todd don’t want that old smelly woman! You’re right she’s been around and around and around ! Most old drunk coons have! TODD PLEASE RUN!FIND YOURSELF A REAL WOMAN ! You dealing with a drunk who needs her daughters money! And don’t care if she hurt her own child to get it! Joyce got some man driving a car Kandi bought! Shame!!!
your mamma been around she sees.the red flags
Seriously? How do we know just because she’s older that Mama Joyce is so wise? She has a man, and admitted that Kandi is not involved in her relationship at all. I don’t know if it’s just about money or if it’s because she lost her other child and is clinging to Kandi so tight that she won’t let her live. I know families where the Mother thinks no one is good enough for their (grown) child. Bottom line she’s disrespecting Kandi by calling her stupid (not literally), and incapable of making rational decisions. When Kandi said Joyce never liked anyone she dated that spoke volumes. Oh she liked Chuck, the weakest link. The butthole who is so rude, and lied to his wife about his past. Good choice Joyce.
That’s why she liked him because he was weak. Predators always recognize and stalk their prey.
dez ppl lookn fa tv tyme…if he cheaten he aint d only one..next..
he free loading con
I ask all of y’all to remember….Cynthia’s family warned her not to marry old dude and you see how that turned out….a bigger opportunist does not exist than that old geezer.
kandi momma need a man of,her of own
I believe her. But who gives a fuk? Next—>
Carmen, Todd and Kandi are probably having threesomes.
Kandi is one nasty dumb bish.
Next!!
I just hope the rumor is not true””” Kandi Burruss will be heart broken if so. I know that Kandi is 99% for Todd but she will always have that 1% doubt in the back of her head!!!
Mama Joyce has a man, so she needs to worry about him spending the money Khandi is giving her. I think the man aint giving her good D**K. Lol
Sustah, it’s 2014 it ain’t about the D**k, it’s the year of the tongue!!!
and the year of some nasty azz diseases 2!
you best keep your tongue to yourself….you don’t know where them dizznaeee’s have been (or in who!).
This is just a bunch of “HE SAY SHE SAY HERE SAY” crap…..Now I will say this if Todd is cheating which I hope he isn´t it will come out it should come out soon rather than later so Kandi can finally get some clarity but I see that Kandi is really happy and if all this is true this is gon crush her and then Todd ain´t shit knowingly that he is cheating and making Kandi and Mama Joyce look dumb. But I don´t think he is awww I feel for Kandi!
Both Benny n Crystal sound ratchet as hell, shit starters, tryn to get some shine…they don´t even appear to know Kandi n Todd that well so they need to stay out of their business
Ain´t no smoke without a fire, Kandi u need to call Joey greco from cheaters asap :/
Gurl quit….you know that is exactly what she needs to do….Joey Greco is a hot bottom so better keep Dwight and Brandon away…they’ll have the cast for a Charlie’s Angel remake. LOL
If you have to call "Cheaters" you already have your answer!
I always had a feeling that tod and carmen were messing around. When kandi told tod what her mother said , he tells kandi to get carmen because he wants to know how " carmen feels ." why would you care how another female feels, unless your having sex with her. The signs are infront of kandi face, but she wants to get married so bad, so she could keep him. In reality, they are already together….. Mama joyce just doesnt want them to get married thats all.
Why in the world wld her old ass mama be gossiping with a bunch of ppl more than half her damn age anyway? This whole Benny story sounds like bs! So he caught them messing around huh? Yeah right! These fools need to grow the hell up!
EXACTLY! I too was wondering,does she have friends her own age! What’s crazy is Joyce have people falling for this mess.Somebody need to dig a deep hole and drop her musty a** off in it!
Kandis problem is, she is so caught up on the penis , she is ignoring all the signs. If you look at todds and karmens body when they are in the same room, you can tell they f***ing. In one of the past episodes, her face turnt a little red when she got around tod smh….
Why is everyone putting the story off on the next one?
I actually like kandi, but her vulnerability in dealing with mommy dearest will leave her old, desperate, miserable and alone. Mama is keeping that ole saying alive, "chip off the old block; apple dont fall far from the tree". If kandi didnt have millions joyce wouldn’t care as much who her daughter was banging or getting married to.
Mother need to say out of y´all
Krystal Never Said The Rumor Wasn´t True Though.. Something In The Water Ain´t Clean
Chile bye! Sounds like foolishness so that´s why you didn´t get a callback
Benny will want to tell his story next!!! But no one cares any more.Kandi is a very smart business woman but her personal busy she´s stuck in Jr.high.We learn the most from our same sex parent,so that isn´t saying much for Joyce.
I´on know about y´all, but all I heard on that video and read from ATLien was:
Now Joe wanna be like Bob
Bob got it goin´ on with no job And everything Rob got, he got from Robin
And everything she got she got ho-hoppin´
My girl Jilly wanna be like Jackie Fat rope chains and I think that it´s wacky
Tom and Dick wanna be like Harry
Little do they know he´s bitin´ on Barry
Stan was a scam, but Vinnie´s legit
Mercedes coupe, hometroop with no kit
A businessman with a beeper for a reason
Not like Tim because it´s in this season
Just me? Oh, okay…
D Michelle Finley Evans!, You summed it up perfectly!!! LMAO! This is about what this whole fiasco amounts to! Thanks for the throwback memories! :).
Kandi Keep Her Away From Ur Man……
In reply to Khoneybun Gregory, I totally agree with you. Whether there is an infidelity or not, it is never a good idea for your female friends to be overly familiar with your mate. It can be a recipe for disaster. Another point is this, while I don’t agree at all with the behavior that MJ has demonstrated with regards to her daughter or this whole situation for that matter. Someone had to have put a bug in her ear whether the info was true or not, or whether it’s this girl, or "benny". If MJ is supposedly close enough to this girl to call Carmon up and threaten her on her behalf, it’s quite possible (not for sure of course), that this girl is fanning the flames with Kandi’s mom, just to be on her good side. It happens everyday. The problem is, telling MJ anything about a dude that Kandi is dealing with is like throwing water on a grease fire. I guess my point is this. If this girl is doing this, what do you expect KB’s mom is going to do but go off?
Brent Floyd
blah, blah, blah!!!! She say, she say!!!! As an assistant, your role is professional at all times not personal!! Now lets do our job Karman instead of keeping the mess going which makes you look thirsty too!
That was a waste of 2:29 seconds she didn´t contribute anything…Next!
What the hell does Kandi have to do with Benny being trifling to Crystal? Kandi and Todd have been together going on what – 2 years? If there was dirt, it would have been dug up, posted on FB, Twitter, IG and blogs. Until I see some PROOF, hear some unedited audio … I don’t believe any of this garbage.
Why doesn’t Carmon have a man? Has she ever had a man since being friends with Kandi? Would like to see dynamic where she goes out with a STRAIGHT guy while Todd’s around. If Todd is cheating, he’s just like 99% of men.but it would be a shame if it’s her best friend. Lie detector test, proof for both herself and her mother. Then go on with whatever her decisions are for her future, with prenup.
Kandi knows the shitz is about to hit the fan. Carmen is fuccing todd. It shows when all 3 are together. Todd a lying bish and this would surely boost ratings. I feel 4 kandi but she needs a reality check. I know it will hurt but count ur losses boo as the unsigned prenup is both his and carmens Come up. Momma joyce may need 2 mind her biz but she’s on point to reveal these low down dirty cheaters. They may of smashed b once with the promise of keeping it hush hush. Damn that would be really messed up….
We do not care
Now that would be some shit!
It’s so obvious!!! Why doesn’t Kandi see that Todd is a cheating/swerving opportunist? I guess she doesn’t care because she knows she can’t get a baller.
wow kandi is in the abyss rich with no one can trust what a dark place surrounded by sharks–all of them– i feel for her
If Benny talked about an affair between Todd and Karmen to Crystal, he did something out of character for a man. Men generally don’t gossip about affairs, especially when one of the people connected to the rumor is employed by Kandi. This whole scenario goes against the "man code". Mama Joyce, the wicked and evil piece of crap that she is, continues to fan the flames. Even if there is truth to the matter it is none of Joyce’s business. Kandi needs to shut this rumor down because thoughts are things. Todd may think that if he is going to do the time he might as well do the crime. I would wager there is a lot of unhappiness about this situation behind Kandi’s closed doors. Stop the roll.
Men are just as catty and vindictive as women— what man code?? GMAB!!!
DO YALL UNDERSTAND THAT THE SADDEST PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS,HER OWN MAMA IS ENJOYING THE PAIN OF HER OWN DAUGHTER!!!!! JOYCE IS SICK!
Yes I agree kandi isn’t responding because she probably don’t care what this chick has to say Bennie obviously wasn’t the one who told mama Joyce! This is so old to me it kandi relationship not crystals or mama Joyce! Can’t trust pillow talk when it surfaces when the relationship goes wrong check the motives!
Kanidi needs to let go and let GOD. Just let go of all this shit and live your life.
Karman looks sneaky I wouldn´t trust her.
Is it me is on point. Karmen and Todd were almost finishing each others sentences during that conversation. Who tells someone their mom is "mind fu*king them? Todd is probably using Karmen for info on Kandi’s businesses cuz he know Kandi tells all her business. Where was Karmen when Kandi was being mind fu*cked by Kim Z?
Wow you have made up a whole story line in your head.Joyce is powerful for the weak minded.JS
Lambert Chelsa…..I would tell you how you look; but, oooh, someone does not have photos on FB to view. Silly right?
Crystal no longer dates this gentlemen; so, now we know were the rumor started and who are the “street.”
Kandi God bless you!!!! While the people you love keep bringing you mess.
One thing I do know if it don’t make since then its not true!!!
Someone take Joyce out back and beat the hell out of her or tie her ass up or something
Until Riley posts pictures of Todd and Karmen nekkid (that’s right nekkid, dammit!) in a room of Kandi’s house that can’t be denied (wait for it…R Kelly reference) this issue should no longer be up for discussion.
Seriously you and Joyce need to keep Kandi’s daughter out of this filth, that her own grandmother caused.That is sick! Joyce is lustful for Kandi’s money and to he** with her own grand daughter.she dont want her daughter or granddaughter to ever be happy.UNLESS the money stays with her!Joyce youre in for a long lonely smelly life.and you deserve it!
Whoopi said it best on The View. Joyce need to stay out of it. Period.
Since Crystal is talking, can she please tell us if Carmon has ever dated any man that she knows of? And if so how long ago? Since she’s friends with Mama Joyce can she find out when Carmon moved in with Kandi?
Joyce needs to take off that wig, get a man, and get a job. She is living off of Kandi. A poor excuse of a mother and totally ratchet ass hood rat.
BLOOP!
Oh this girl is just trying to get her 15 mins, Bottom Line is this Kandi NEEDS TO CHECK HER MAMA And KEEP HER MAMA OUT OF HER RELATIONSHIPS! IF I Were Todd I would have left Already! IF he and Kandi Marry Anyway it won´t last a Year Because When He marries Kandi He´s Marrying Mama Too!
Well she cannot deny nor confirm the rumor because she wasn’t the one who started the rumor.
She may not have started the rumor but she sure never said she didnt spread it either. In my opinion, if Todd isnt cheating already then Kandi is pretty much giving him every reason to do just that which is sad because it does look like they really love each other BUT a person can only take but so much. Its no secret that Joyce’s dislike for Todd only comes down to dollars and cents. Kandi tries to play like she is blind dumb and deaf to the situation and she gonna be the one herself to find her man and bff/ assistant in her bed humpin away at each other
This whole situation is a mess .I understand candy mama being upset but she´s gone to far,wanting to start fights that just ridiculous!!One thing l know sometimes as a parent even when its in yr gut the person not rght for yr child.Yu have to just step back and let them make that mistake whether it kills yu . There´s nothing like a learn lesson mama joyce lm sure yu have had them . majority of the time the parent is usually rght 89.9 % of the time.But doing all she´s doing bring her sisters in on it thats just crazy as hell!!Come on mama joyce let go.Todd looks sheaky as hell.l will admit .But mama joyce mother to mother yr wrong.Ms Parks couldn´t introduce be to anybody to date.Look at her choice for her self .If yu can´t choose forself please please don´t try for anybody elise.
She is some friend !!
I think Kandi and Joyce is playing Todd big time. They are using him, for their story line. Why would a grow azz woman have this kind of mess around her man. I don’t care how much money Kandi have, she is a dumb chick. Todd need to get the heck away from her and mom.
I want somebody, anybody including Momma Joyce to spill the tea on how and why Carmon got that scare on her face. I know Michelle knows but she won’t tell until the gifts run out. LOL.
All roads lead back to Mama Joyce. She started all of this mess. I don’t think Todd is cheating on Kandi with Karmen, why would he? His woman is rich and she a play toy freak, why risk that if he’s an opportunist? Karmen cute but I would pick the money every time.
Yes, indeed, Mama Joyce is for sure thirsty. And not just in that .gif.
In that picture above, Mama Joyce just need a big wart on her nose to have her outside match her insides.
[…] Straight From The A and […]
Marrying Kandi means marrying her Momma- Run Todd Run. What is he going to do when she moves next door in a couple of years? All te money in the world is not worth your sanity
I’m sick of the whole mama Joyce and kandi/todd story line frankly it’s boring if that’s the best bravo can do with her get a new cast member or bring back Kim — Kim was a interesting woman in terms of her lifestyle just so over the top in anything she does but kind of funny
Crystal can’t confirm nor deny the rumors because she was told the rumor. You can’t confirm nor deny what someone else tells you. All Crystal had to do is clear her name, which she had done. She’s good.
I can’t say if Todd is or isn’t looking at Kandi for the money. But I do know this. He seems to be very intent on maintaining his own career which is more than I can say for any of the other househusbands on the show. He has the ability to continue to take care of himself but it seems that Kandi would rather have him working with/for her. Not all men are down for that. I personally don’t have anything against Kandi but I would not marry her if I were Todd. She has some good qualities but her negative issues overshadow those. Truth be known, Todd probably doesn’t look at her the same after he has witness how her and her mother interact. Too much drama is never attractive…..
I beleieve it but not because of what they are saying but because of what I see with my own eyes. Todd and Carmen seem to be extremely close.
They have a common enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Mama Joyce is the female version of Fred Sanford, AKA Redd Foxx. lol Let Kandi be an adult. If you have not done your job by now, it will never be done.
