ATL HOUSEWIFE KANDI LEAVES HER MAN
THE FACTS
Kandi Burruss has commented on the status of her relationship with her fiancé.
THE SPIN
If you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta (and if you don’t, hurry up and catch up), then you know Kandi’s mama cannot stand her fiancé. I imagine if your child came home and said, “I’m gonna marry a person with six kids and four different baby mamas/daddies” you’d be given some royal side-eye action, too.
Yet, that hasn’t stopped Kandi’s love for AJ – at least on camera. As it turns out, Kandi may be somewhere humming “Love Don’t Love Here Anymore” when the cameras aren’t rolling.
When asked about just what AJ does for a living (inquiring minds want to know), Kandi said: “AJ over time has done a lot of things, including running this collection agency while we were together and he just recently bought into this strip club.”
Picking up on the use of past tense, Essence.com’s interviewer dug deeper on the status of Kandi’s relationship to which she replied:
“(Laughs.) We’re on hiatus. He’s a great guy and he’s not the type to sit on his behind like a scrub, so it has nothing to do with that. Yes, he has a lot of children, and yes, I didn’t know about them all at first but I got over it because as long as you handle your responsibility and spend time with your children it’s not an issue for me. Another thing I want to set the record straight on is that AJ was married before. A lot of people make comments like, if he didn’t marry his other children’s mothers then why do you think he’s going to marry you.”
Though she may not be with AJ, she’s with his kids.
Kandi explained:
ESSENCE.COM: When we spoke before you expressed concern about how a separation might affect your daughter. How is she handling your break?
BURRUSS: “Things have changed because not only do I have my daughter living with me but now I am the legal guardian of AJ’s 12-year-old twin daughters because his mother felt the responsibility was too much for her right now and she couldn’t handle it anymore. He would have taken them with him, but they needed a strong female role model and wanted to stay with me. Just because AJ and I are together I have accepted them as my children the same way that my stepfather did me when I was their age and he and my mom separated. He continued do things with me as my father throughout my life.”

OK. AJ should write a book. You know why? I want to know how can a Brotha with no job and 6 kids gets a fine woman like Kandi Burress, A millionaire mend you to take care of his kids.
I guess if you got no job you pay no child support to the 4 mothers of those kids too. While a rich chick takes care of you.
Play on “Playa”
Kandi’s Mom was right, and I love the fact that she did not yield. Go head mamma Burress!
i guess moms was right. kandi baby make ammends with moms and keep your head up. you r beautiful inside and out. holla at me im here 4 u mommy
Some women just set themselves up, trying to save a man.
Kandi Here are the red flags, WARNING SIGNS THAT SAY DO NOT ENTER:
1. Four baby mommas
2. six children from four baby mommas
3. Investments in a strip club.
4. pay no child support.
5. you are taking care of two of his
adolescents.You don’t owe him anything such as that. God didn’t tell you to be no FOOL GIRL!!. If your stepfather did what he did for your life than God gave him his reward, by you turning out to be the gracious woman that you are. You deserve better. Wait on God to bring to you the right mate girl.
The Lord will grant to you the desires of your heart. This man that you are choosing on your own is not the one you(Kandi) and Him are most definitely unevenly yoked, the devil is trying to decieve you.
I hope, that these views are helpful to you Kandi.
It was very kind of her to take over responsibility of his girls, at a time when it seems no one else was willing to do it. But she would live to regret having married that guy. Having planted his seed everywhere, he has too many pots to water. It’s not such a bad thing for a man to be a little bit boring.
I don’t understand why she can’t find good guy. I hope she not just looking for looks and not looking for how he is treating her. I would got rid of him first with so many kids and baby momas. Second, knowing he has a stipper club.
Show’s lot how he has respect for women.
If she knows what I know, she don’t want to end up like Usher. I just know he is some where thinking and saying to himself I should of listen to my momma!!! Momma is never wrong child!!
(MISS. KAREN C) YOU, ARE MY GIRL! YOU, SAID IT ALL, AMEN- THANK,YOU—- JESUS. I DO NOT HAVE TO COMMENT. COOKIE, FROM B-MORE.
Looks? he’s good to look at?
Kandi, seems to be that you are setteling for the bottom of the pudding cup. Listen to momma,cos she knows whats best. Aj, has the characteristics of a pimp….Don’t live with the regrets. So what if you are alone then ending up with someone that will triple your troubles. Be smart and look in the right direction.
Wow she is supporting his kids ..what is he doing..i dont get it?
I am a single male in the ATL and love it here. I have no kids, a master’s degree and run a real estate company: even in this environment. Southern women seem to need a man to be happy. I just wonder why the hell she is with a loser like him. Damn, 6 kids by 4 different women, and you take care of two: and you say he is taking care of his responsibilities? What the hell? Have Kandi get at me! I’ll show her how she needs to be treated. Oh yeah, I forgot, she got a couple of kids and taking care of two more, so nevermind.
Well, this seems like a sad situation. Why do you need a broke thug with pounds of baggage trailing behind you? Sounds like the penis is good or something… There is plenty of that out there. I had to shake my head at the scene on the show when AJ did not even introduce himself to the other housewives at the exhibit and he was on his cellphone the whole time! A real man would have at least faked it for his woman’s sake if he was bored or uninterested… That was embarrassing, but so typical.
SHE IS A SMART GIRL SHE CAN MAKE UP HER MIND IN DUE TIME SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THINGS FOR THEM SELVES.
Kandi if you love this man like you say you do ,forget about everyone else think about you being happy and thats all that matters remember no one can live or die for you but you follow your heart please do not throw a good man away to make somone else happy build your relationship on love,trust,honesty,faith and strenth, never be at war with LOVE.
I’m so comfortable in the skin i’m in…..love it. Not wanting to weigh in on Kandi’s situation, but for real Okay my Husband loves kids and eveyone who knows him knows that. We are responsible parents and both love kids and we have two. I mean my Mom would always so don’t give a man an excuse becasue they already have enough for you. Listen to your Mom, better yet listen to your Mind and what it is telling your heart. Love is blind, but your brain.
Also, they only dated a couple of months before getting engaged and her adopting his kids. Sometimes the heart clouds the brain. Seriously, if she waited at LEAST 2 years before getting engaged or taking on his responsibilities, things would have been different.
Yes, ppl should follow their own heart but you can’t run from the obvious. If you are always on defense or hiding your man, something is wrong and needs to be addressed.
You know what Kandi Forget about the other people on the blogs that are sayn the wrongs things about you if you know it is not true just forget about it…… Sorry to even hear abut ur husband …. hope u will fill ok but i know its hard… I love watchn all of the shows…. Just always trust in GOD because he is always gonna make it alright/…. You are in my prayers… And yes i am 13 yrs old….
