According to a source, Kandi Burruss discovered that her husband, Todd Tucker, was “talking to other women” behind her back before she filed for divorce. Meanwhile, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star addressed feeling “emotionally broken,” as castmates reacted.
Last Friday, Kandi filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage. In 2014, Kandi and Todd filmed a five-part series showing their wedding. The couple first met when Todd was a producer on RHOA.
“Kandi and Todd had been having marriage troubles for a while now. Kandi was not happy because she found out that Todd had been talking to other women behind her back,” said a source in an interview with PEOPLE. “She had no idea.”
Soon after the PEOPLE article was published, Kandi posted a video with photos of herself smiling.
“This is what I look like when I’m going through something,” she wrote in the Instagram caption. “I show up for my family, I show up for my friends, I show up to handle my business, & I show up with a smile all while on the inside I’m emotionally broken.”
“In every pic of this video I was internally dealing with something life changing that most of the people in the pics with me had no clue of my inner stress & sadness,” she continued. “This is not being fake. This is just how I deal with things. I internalize and deal with it alone. I am the poster child for the saying ‘check on your strong friend because you never know what they are going through’. I normally don’t like to share stuff like this but I was listening to this old song that I wrote years ago & felt like it perfectly described how I feel.”
In the lyrics of the song, Kandi wrote, “I haven’t shed a tear not even a whimper since December. I haven’t broke my cool or lost my temper. I’m censored. But deep down I want to explode and just let all my frustrations go. Sometimes I want to scream and release the pain I have in me.”
In the comments, former co-stars shared their support.
Angela Oakley wrote, “My Taurus trait: showing up strong while we are broken inside. 😢 My prayer is that you feel the love we are sending. ❤️❤️ You got this Kandi!”
Drew Sidora added, “This is real….sending love to you.”
Porsha Williams expressed, “You and your family are in my prayers.”
