That didn’t take long. Mama Joyce is already out giving interviews about Kandi’s wedding to the press. She recently gave an interview to toofab’s Brian Particelli where she admits she wants to write a tell all book (Oh Lawd) and says she can’t wait for us to see how great she (Mama Joyce) looked at the wedding. 
She talks about how Todd allegedly danced around signing a pre-nup right up until the last minute telling Paricelli, “I got a little pissed at the bridegroom the night before this wedding. He kind of held up on signing the prenup and didn’t come to the rehearsal dinner because he didn’t want to sign it. His mom said she didn’t see no reason for him to have to sign because they were in love. He was the one who didn’t have a damn thing, but that’s another story.”
Mama Joyce admits that he eventually did sign the pre-nup and that the whole drama was for storyline.
When asked if she was happy for Kandi, Mama Joyce replied, “Long as she’s happy, that’s the one that has to be happy.Doesn’t make no difference if I’m happy or not, she’s the one that has to live with him. I did everything I could do. If she’s jumping in the river with sharks, she’s gonna get chewed up. It’s not about me, whether I’m right or wrong. People show you their best when you’re dating them, so if she’s seeing the best now, the worst is yet to come.”
Congrats on your marriage, Todd. You may also win the worst mother-in-law in the world contest. Let’s hope some of this is just to stir up publicity.
wow! I think this maybe all for ratings.
This WHOLE Mama Joyce thing seems so contrived. I think Kandi cooked this storyline up WITH her mama.
Kandi needs to park her ratchet Dora the explorer looking mother right next to Joan Lunden’s mother at “A PLACE FOR MOM”.
I think that Kandi should tell her mother that if she writes a book about her she will have to look for a new place to live and she is cut off from the Kandi money train.
Kandi is doing a show about her mom. Tit for Tat!!
I wonder if Mama Joyce saw any of herself in the Mother character in the play. She may have just thought that it was a fictional depiction.
I kind of think it’s very hard to be “tit for tat”. First, Kandi has taken care of her mother for decades. I would be shocked her mother received alimony for life, plus social security monies! Since her mother EXPECTED to live in Kandi’s 2nd house (things got ugly and very public by then). So Kandi gives her OWN home paid off where she lived for years. Seasons ago, Kandi had a conversation with Kim that she OWNS her home, Kandi gave her mother Kandi’s home. Then her mother re-decorated the home to make it “her own”! Kandi’s own home was beautiful! So where does her mother think she’s getting money? On the reunion show, Kandi found out about her OWN mother opening credit cards, gambling, etc! At this point, Kandi has supported and let her mother control her life, speak poorly to Kandi’s daughter! Kandi has tolerated YEARS of dis-respect her for YEARS. Unlike her mother respecting her daughter, nor thankful for ALL her daughter has done for her mother for YEARS! Poor Kandi, hopefully continues with counseling whereas the counselor can help Kandi to understand that she can “show respect” to her mother AND NOT CONTINUE THE FUND and pay ALL her living & social expenses! If a “tell all” book comes out – it better be worth hurting her own child & grandchild to the core. Just like Kim’s parents —ALL the nasty press, court papers, etc. It hurt & humiliated the grandchildren, destroyed their relationship with their OWN daughter, no relationship with their son-in-law and NEVER seeing their 4 other new grandchildren! Kandi’s daughter is much older, sees exactly what her “grandmother” is/was doing (plus many, many, many private issues that haven’t made public yet).
If there is ever a ‘tell all” book; I certainly would never even borrow it, let alone pay money from a woman who has lived off her daughter for years, given a paid off home, money to redecorated. I wouldn’t make a nasty, controlling, threatening nasty “mother/grandmother” make even MORE money! With a gambling problem, she will be out of money earned quickly! At that point, there are “homes” or very least Kandi should hire someone to pay just enough minimum livable bills to live & not a penny more AFTER any book sale money runs out! Even at that cut-off point, maybe her “mother” would learn her daughter does NOT owe her a penny and maybe a slight chance learn to be thankful! Me, if a “tell all book” at my expense ever came out! Not a penny more would ever be given to her again! There is NO reason her mother couldn’t be working a JOB! If she can gamble and on home shopping club — her mother needs a job to support her ‘fun” money! Her daughter doesn’t even HAVE to give her a cent but she has been emotionally abusive for years–that us why ‘no one else can let it roll off like she can”. Kandi is very talented, works very hard, smart with many profitable businesses that should be left and/or spend on Kandi’s children! Her mother doesn’t/shouldn’t be “taken care of”; worse, expects/demands to be supported, who would hurt her own daughter/granddaughter at any length and gets more vicious when in her mind a “threat” to her money. Then she attacks, wants to set up, screams at her friends with threats of violence! Sadly, no one deserves it. Of course, Kandi, who earns, works for everything doesn’t deserve it –worse, they way her own mother destroys her friendships, love life, granddaughter!
I HOPE Mama Joyce is wrong. Todd appears level headed and calm.
They need give a show to Mama Joyce and her crazy sisters and add two more seniors.
Kandi has had to take a lot of grief over her mom. I just can’t see her going along with a storyline like this. I would think her wedding would be too precious for a bunch of made up nonsense. Regardless….I hope those two are off the charts happy. They deserve it.♥
I agree—I think she could think up something better if she was gonna make up something. I think she has too much integrity to make up something like this.
I remember an episode where Mama Joyce wanted to move into the guest house at Kandi’s new place and Todd shot that idea down.. Wasn’t long after that, that she turned on him 🙂 not surprised though, where would she be without Kandi’s money?
I said before MJ was acting a fool to guarantee a strong storyline for her daughter. I’m going to stick with that. Now that Kandi and Todd are married I expect MJ to continue with her foolishness, not only for Kandi’s storyline but being seen on TV on a semi basis probably has her ego blown up. I bet her old lady friends are psyched they know a “celebrity”. lol.
I can’t believe Mama Joyce called out Kandi’s 30 lb weight gain on tv. I don’t think it is made for the show, I think she is really worried about losing her meal ticket.
Todd was very nice to MJ and explained his job situation. I don’t know any man who could have handled that situation better than Todd did.
I like Todd and hope they are happy in spite of the drama.
Right? What kinda shit is that? A) 30 lbs on Kandi and we’d all see it and B) on tv????
PS Clearly MJ and NeNe took the same English classes.
and then it seems that it was a blantant ass hole statement..I think Kandi has slimmed down considerably since dating Todd… she might gain a little now that the festivities are over and they head into real life, but prior to that, this whole season, Kandi has been svelte…
It is sad when your mom want your marriage to fail. She is speaking doom and gloom and that is sad! She is hoping it fail so she can say I told you so!
Misery loves company. MJ has been married how many times, I think three. It’s obvious she wants Kandi all to herself.
I pray that Kandi n Todd REMAIN HAPPY. That said, the Therapist needs to be overseen by a Pyschiatrist. Mamma Joyce is being hateful. She needs help. Let her daughter be happy and hands off her daughters Marriage. Momma Joyce is lookng like an attention seeking asshat Bully. She needs Medication. I will keep Kandi in my Prayers n Todd n Riley…and even Pray that Momma Joyce finds her own life n Man. Shes lonely….and needs something to do besides meddling n making trouble. She has no right even as a Mother to do this to their lives. She needs help and needs it quick.
Oops Psychiatrist…..typing from my Android. My bad. Kandi beams nowadays. I also hope she is blessed with a Baby soon. That would be lovely to see them have a lil family together. Todd, seems like he really loves her. I hope Kenya is blessed with Love n a lil Baby too, soon. She really cares. I think shes mean back to the other ladies n puts them in their place. Since, Sheree is gone. Someone needs to check Nene. Shes becoming a Egotistical bl. whar If shes so fabulous darling…she would work hard with the opportunities that shes been blessed with and not make excuses for her failing to followthrough. She needs a trainer and a good diet if she hopes to stay in the entertainment industry. No one wants to see a sweating mean out of shape mess. If she wants to stay in front of the Camera. She needs to tow the line.
I love ur blog by the way. Excuse my typos please. I’ve been lurking n cracking up at your comical insights. Your commenters are equally hilarious! Thanks for all that you do TT. Keep em coming! You really need to write a book. I would buy it. You have a great talent. Keep up the good work. Blessings to all of yall!
Most of us are very forgiving of typos here. Mine especially. 😉 Welcome. I’m too lazy to write a book. I’d much rather just talk to you guys.

You are asking for a lawsuit you dumb ass.
Reality Tea Pays for their photos — you do not.
Now you’re asking people to click the ads.
You had no problem blogging and laughing at (site name deleted) site when you did not know the facts and here is your dumb ass putting ads on photos you do not own.
Time to report your ass. You make this so easy. Thank You.
Sara
How is it that you know what pictures I do or do not pay for? Or what my friends at Reality Tea do? I think you outed yourself there in that comment about who I “laughed at” I merely reported on a court case about a site that used pictures that a site was attempting to sell without permission.
I’ve also NEVER asked anyone to “click my ads” and have admonished my commenters for doing so. Something tells me that your idiocy will only serve to encourage it. Sorry about your blog sucking.
You seem very angry about my success “Sara” why is that? I shall be here quaking in my boots about your “reporting my ass”, dickbreath.
Clearly, this is an American idiot in Amsterdam at the moment. Once again, I hate people embarrassing our country overseas. There needs to be an IQ limit to leave the country.
@sara It is amazing when folks come into someone’s house when they have company and begin to call the host names because they expose themselves to not just a tongue lashing from the host but many “reads” from the guest. Are you masochistic or just plain idiotic? Girl bye, your jealousy is showing.
There is something called “Fair Use.” Look it up bitch.
Sara, who are you calling a dumb ass, dumb ass! Take a deep breath and stop being such a pissy little bitch for goodness sake. We don’t need you policing this blog, sounds like a personal problem.
Sara seems like the type who constantly peeks out of her window blinds at the neighbors. She’ll catch ’em one day!~~”paranoia, self destroyah”~~
In other news, Apparently WP has given me a new ad! YAY! I love WordPress!
Sara are you backtracing her right now and calling the cyber poleece too? goodness!
LOL she is clearly following me closely. I was a bit too busy doing my job to notice I was selected for a new great ad feature, which according to Sara is a bad thing. I am thankful that she drew my attention to it though. It just means I am a successful board on WordPress who hosts this site and is the only person she could report me to, and the also the people that control my comments. It’s all hysterical.
That said, why is this comment moderated? Surely this is not your first comment!
Why can’t she just be happy for them? I love Todd and Kandi together.
This Sara stupidity reminds me of the person who chastised me for using T.Kyle gifs despite the fact he follows me on twitter. They were unhappy I said he was “the best place online for reality tv gifs” despite that verbage being taken from his tumblr http://realitytvgifs.tumblr.com/ and many links to his blog. That person said “DO YOU THINK HE MAKES THOSE GIFS FOR OTHERS TO USE?” Um yes, dear. That is what he does. He makes fabulous gifs for people to use, as long as they credit him.
That person also said, “He doesn’t like it when you use his gifs!!!” Which translated to I used his gifs and did not properly credit, so I am pissed you got to use his RHOA on GAGA ones.,..
Sucks to be these people.
Oh I thought it translated to, “ONLY I CAN USE HIS GIFS BECAUSE I AM SPESHAL!”
No it translated to I used his gifs without permission and he was mean to me! lol.
I still can’t wait until Sara reports to WP that she is pissed about their new luminate ads. ssshhhh
Sara as a new fan of TT, Im annoyed with your ASSHAT tactics. Go away, work harder and you wont have to come here to lurk. If you worked harder at your own blog, you might see traffic and people enjoying your wit n charm. But, seeing how your behaving on this site only proves that you’re wasting your precious time being jealous. My darling girl….there are stars enough in the skies for everyones dreams to come true. Now, run along before someone hurts your lil bitty feelers… Ciao!
I love that. It think it was Reality Tea who told me, there is room on the Internet for everyone. It as great lesson. And why I love them so much.

They did AND publicly in the comments section for all to see. Sad when someone is so jealous they think about trying to steal someone else’s thunder. Funny though, this person thought they’d do that here, on YOUR blog. Idiot.
Also, I try NOT to tell people to hit the ads but it’s slipped a few times. Instead I have turned off my adblock for your site and that’s something I never ever do anywhere.
It is sorta true that the first rule in the Ad club is never talk about the ads. I really can’t help that y’all keep doing so. I’d think that makes me exactly the blog that people want to post ads at….. lol.
What is an “asshat”?
Oh my, I had never noticed how interesting your ads are until today. So thankful for readers like Sara who point these things out so that I can click on the ad and find a new game to enjoy!
Yay! Imma follow u on twitter too. When I get paid on my next pay day, I will be clicking the donate button too. We love TT! Go away Sara, we dont want your particular brand of nonsense BS here. You cannot Dull TT shine. We all came here for a reason. TT is witty n well at times just very truthful and hilarious. Go work on yourself n your character defects and perhaps one day….you too will have as many fans as TT. Oh…n Sara? Dont let the door hitcha…where the good lord splitcha…. 😉
All I can say to Sara is be gone before someone drops a house on you too. (Sara quickly looks up and sulks away.)
really! Sara REALLY!!! This was about Mama joyce. Are you high in Amsterdam? Everyone with the name of Sara should be “smiling” in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam passed new weed smoking laws, possibly Sara was cut off as an American.
TT, I apologize for commenting on the Ads in the past, I didn’t know that was a no no. Some if them were so funny. If you reprimanded me I missed that also because I missed some days.
Mama Joyce is a emotional mess.
I’ve s son that earns 6 figures and I’ve never asked or taken help from him. Mama Joyce needs a job.
I think Mama Joyce having a problem with Kandi’s men is real, but I am not sure her reasoning behind it. Does she have one of those no one is good enough complexes moms usually reserve for their sons? Or is she worried a husband would mean less money to be shared with her? Even though I think Kandi has plenty to go around, I lean towards the latter. I think it is pure greed
hello tamara, i know this is off topic but i just read that kenya fake her lil dog death ….!!!! i hope that not truth , Cuz if it is she’s really really crazy
I think we like watching all the Messy People on TV, because well just maybe we can see a portion of their Characters in ourselves or maybe one of our friends or Crazy family members. I took to Twitter n asked Dineva of it was necessary to be ugly n mean 24\7. No response. I get that he brings it because hes a charwcter made famous on youtube. I do believe that he took it too far. But, I digress. We are all imperfect. Its life. It is hilarious…..and each one of us has a bitchy diva in us at times as well as being super nice too. I like em all and I know most of it is probably amped up to bring the Numbers and ratings. If we disagree…that is fine. Having differing opinions is what makes the world go round. 😉 I lost a Cat due to tragic circumstances. I fell to my knees n sobbed uncontrollably when she was ran over. I remember Cootiebug everyday. Funny name for my silly kitty. I know when we all pass on one day…our beloved pets n loved ones will be there to greet us. But, while here on Earth we must live life to the fullest! Thats what will make it all worth it overall. We all face hardships, push them aside and know that there are great things n people in this world. We can be one of them, if we choose to do so.
My mother-in-law put bleach in a smoothie to try and make me have a miscarriage. Couldn’t stand that her grown, 26 yr old son got married to someone she didn’t like…..or should i say, “didn’t look like someone she wanted to have her grandkids”. Needless to say, she doesn’t exist to us anymore.
What tha F— did I just read here??!!
Jessica. You can’t just throw that out there like that. I almost choked. I thought my MIL was bat shit. Yours tried to poison you??
Yeah she’s certifiable. When she’d come to visit,unannounced btw, she would bring new clothes for my kids( because I couldn’t possibly dress them correctly) and all types of crazy shit.
WAIT…WHAT?!
how did you y’all figure out what she was trying to do? Dear Lord!! I’m glad you are ok.
is she a mama or a psychic?
Someone needs to help Kandi understand that you can tell your mother to shape up, without being disrespectful to her.
she is so fearful of being disrespectful to her mother, that she allows her mother to get away with stealing her happiness.
