Kandi Burruss is facing backlash from The Real Housewives of Atlanta fans who think she doesn't respect the ladies' boundaries when it comes to x-rated activities. The latest episode of RHOA showed the ladies embark on a trip to New York City to support Kandi's broadway play Thoughts of a Colored Man. While the play was about the daily struggles Black men face to navigate a society scarred by racism, Kandi took the opportunity to force her female co-stars to wear vibrating panties throughout the night. To make matters more awkward, the husbands joined the ladies and got firsthand accounts of how the other ladies responded to intimate encounters. Watching it all play out was a bit much for those who think Kandi crossed the line.
Kandi has embraced her reputation for being the riskier one of the bunch. She hosted an adult dungeon tour themed based on the rumors Phaedra Parks started, claiming she and Todd Tucker had a sex dungeon. The salacious claims got Phaedra fired from RHOA and gave Kandi the chance to reinvent herself. Instead of cowering away from the rumors, Kandi accepted them and used the claims to add an extension to her brand aimed at sexual pleasure. While the cast has always supported Kandi and her wild endeavors, her RHOA season 14 antics might've taken things too far.
After watching Kandi force the ladies to wear vibrating panties that some cast members weren't comfortable with, Reddit user u/ayyomiss expressed their gripes against the RHOA veteran. The viewer explained why they found Kandi's actions to be "disconcerting," considering the women were around each other's spouses. Kenya Moore expressed her discomfort with being single and wearing such a sexual device around other women's husbands. The Redditor noted how offended Kandi was in the past when she was accused of taking advantage of women with her husband. So to see her seemingly ignore the group's complaints about the panties, the viewer was taken aback. When the ladies complained, Kandi seemingly "mocked them, saying, "iT's A gAmE!" instead of apologizing for the gross misstep," the Redditor quipped.
Others joined the thread, noting how turned off the other housewives were by Kandi's gesture. Many said Kandi should focus more on her marriage and satisfying her husband instead of forcing the ladies to pleasure themselves. Others believe Kandi, who's reuniting with Xscape, is doing too much "product pushing" on RHOA and using the popular series to promote her adult line of intimate toys. Many fans noted how "uncomfortable" they would be wearing vibrating panties around their friends. Viewers said how "weird" it was for Kandi to make such an explicit request ahead of her play that had a deeper meaning.
Kandi isn't one to upset fans. The Real Housewives of Atlanta veteran has made it 13 seasons as a well-received addition to the show. However, all it took was some vibrating panties to make viewers look at Kandi differently. With all the chatter surrounding the x-rated undergarments, Andy Cohen will likely bring it up at the reunion, and Kandi should start working on her response now.
