The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) season 15 aired a brand new episode on Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 8 pm ET on ABC. It documented the cast members spending quality time with each other, while also navigating their personal and professional lives, strained friendships, and relationships. The episode saw cast members involve themselves in dramatic arguments and confrontations.

On this week's episode of RHOA, Kandi reflected on her mother Mama Joyce's comments about her husband Todd Tucker. Her mother constantly threw shade at Todd during BravoCon 2022. Fans, however, failed to understand why Mama Joyce had a problem with Todd. One tweeted:

The hit Bravo series has been extremely successful among viewers and has also been the face of some criticism. Cast members of season 15 include OG housewives Kim Zolciak, Lisa Wu, and DeShawn Snow. Fellow castmates are Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Shereé Whitfield, Drew Sidora, Marlo Hampton, and Sanya Richards-Ross.

They were accompanied by newcomers Monyetta Shaw-Carter and Courtney Rhodes.


Kandi reflects on Mama Joyce's comments about Todd on RHOA

Tonight's episode of RHOA saw the cast members spending time resolving impending issues. They were seen in various settings together which reflected their ongoing dynamics as well as their fights. While some were able to talk things out and move on, others only took a turn for the worse.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled A Star is Re-Born, reads:

"Drew receives an invitation to perform with friend and R&B artist Candiace Dillard-Bassett, sparking hopes of relaunching her stalled music career; Kandi reveals that Momma Joyce's harsh comments at BravoCon have upset Todd and their kids."

The RHOA episode began with Marlo Hampton and Sanya Richards-Ross paying a visit to fellow cast member Sheree Whitfield's house. The ladies discussed their fun experience at BravoCon 2022 and also reflected on a few controversial moments during their panel session at the event.

The ladies recalled Kandi's mother Mama Joyce talking badly about her son-in-law Todd Tucker. When asked to say three nice things about him, she threw a dig at him saying he was "still short," which surprised her daughter Kandi, who was sitting right beside her.

Kandi, for her part, sat down with her manager Don Juan and RHOA newcomer Monyetta Shaw-Carter to reflect on her mother's comments. Don expressed that every time the mother-daughter would go on stage, Mama Joyce would take it as an opportunity to throw shade at Todd.

Kandi recalled that she and her mother were a part of the Dynamic Duo panel at BravoCon 2022. During the session, host Andy Cohen asked Kandi to choose between Don Juan and Todd Tucker who she would trust with controlling her money. In response, the housewife chose her manager as she felt that her mother wouldn't have nice things to say about her husband.

The following day, the host asked Mama Joyce about what kind of man she'd want for her daughter. In response, she said:

"I probably would've picked anyone that had a decent job..."

The RHOA star further revealed that Todd got to know about it from a third person and neither Mama Joyce nor Kandi told him anything about it. The housewife expressed that she couldn't care less about what her mother had to say about her husband, but only wanted Mama Joyce to respect their marriage.


Fans react to Mama Joyce's comments about Todd on RHOA

Fans took to social media to express their opinions on Mama Joyce's comments about Todd. They failed to understand why she had issues with Todd who has been married to Kandi for a decade now.

Other fans felt that Mama Joyce was only talking badly about Todd because Kandi was allowing it.


Season 15 of RHOA has been an intense watch so far. As the installment progresses, the cast members will navigate even more complicated dynamics, leading to more arguments and confrontations. Viewers will have to wait and see how it all pans out.

Don't forget to tune in to a brand new episode next Sunday, May 28, 2023, at 8 pm ET on Bravo.
