RHOA’s Kandi Burruss says filming reunion specials “makes her stomach churn” because she hates fighting
Kandi Burruss confessed that filming Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion specials “makes her stomach churn” from all the stress because she hates “arguing with people.”
Though the 46-year-old reality star has starred on Bravo’s hit reality show since 2009, he explained why she never looks forward to recording the reunions, which involve lots of shouting, rekindling old fights and sharing snarky one-liners.
“I never look forward to arguing with either of them, to be honest, I always hate reunions,” she told Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap before taping the 14th reunion.
