RHOA's Shamea Morton & Kandi Burruss Like Pro-Diddy Posts Online, Furious Fans Put Their Peach Pasts On Blast
Reactions continue to pour in after the shocking results of the Diddy trial, where a jury exonerated him on some of his most serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. The verdict sparked a wave of strong opinions across social media. As reported by Reality Tea, Kandi Burruss and Shamea Morton were both 'busted liking a pro-Diddy post' on Instagram, fueling fan outrage.
The controversial post originated from a woman named Eboni Elektra, who is known to be the best friend of the late Kim Porter, who was in an allegedly abusive relationship with Combs until 2007. According to Page Six, she is also Combs' cousin.
In the moments after the verdict, Elektra shared a picture of Diddy with the caption, 'PRAISE GOD.' Elektra's post continued, 'GOD'S WILL… is higher than any opinion, mistake, judgment, or gossip. If this is God's will for Puff/Diddy, then that's His will. In the end, what we think does not compare to His will.'
For many, drawing on religion to praise a man who was captured on camera violently beating his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, as seen in the widely circulated hotel footage, was already a contentious move. The fact that Kandi and Shamea then publicly endorsed this post by liking it intensified the negative reaction from their followers.
For Shamea Morton, the like on the post was particularly jarring for fans. Shamea has been open about surviving an abusive relationship prior to her marriage to Gerald Mwangi. Fans questioned why someone with such a personal history would seemingly endorse a post celebrating a man seen committing acts of violence. Kandi Burruss Likes Pro-Diddy Post: Past Controversies Resurface
For Kandi Burruss, the controversy is even more intense, given her own history on 'RHOA.' Fans on X (formerly Twitter) have been quick to criticize Kandi's actions, bringing up her infamous feud with Phaedra Parks. You may recall, Kandi faced shocking accusations of attempting to drug and engage in sexual activities with fellow cast members, particularly regarding claims of conspiring to drug Porsha Williams to take advantage of her.
While Kandi vehemently denied these accusations, the fact that she was on the receiving end of such grave allegations makes her perceived support for Diddy – who has faced accusations of drugging people for sexual acts – a bitter pill for many fans to swallow.
'They jumping Kandi for showing support for Diddy as they should bc why would you wanna be associated with that type of person after the stuff you were accused of?' one user wrote.
This isn't the first time this summer that Kandi has found herself in hot water over her social media activity. When Todd Chrisley, the reality TV star convicted of federal tax evasion and bank fraud, received a pardon from the President, Kandi went out of her way to show her support for him. This perceived pattern of aligning herself with controversial figures or seemingly supporting questionable outcomes has fans demanding answers and clarity from the usually media-savvy entrepreneur.
'Where was y'all at months ago before the trial? Where was y'all at during the trial? If you were in such support of this man or against the trial, why didn't you say that while the trial was going on?' YouTuber Aaron stated.
This public questioning of their silence throughout the weeks-long trial, only to celebrate its outcome, has further fueled the backlash surrounding the fact that Kandi Burruss likes pro-Diddy sentiments.

Former NASCAR Driver Danica Patrick Reacts to Sydney Sweeney Ad Backlash
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick gave her take on the Sydney Sweeney controversy stemming from the actress's American Eagle ad campaign. Sweeney's commercials are perceived by some as coded with racism and eugenics because of a play on words regarding "jeans" and "genes." Patrick posted a story on her Instagram account on July 30, reading, "Hilarious. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the new AE ads?! Very confused." Also, she shared a video from content creator Kaylor Betts, which addressed the controversy. Danica Patrick looks on from the drivers parade prior to the F1 Grand Prix of Mexico at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on October 27, 2024 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Tilton/Getty Images "We have to boycott American Eagle," Betts said in the video playfully. "If you haven't heard of this yet, brace yourself. This is a trigger warning. You're not going to believe it. They had Sydney Sweeney in one of their ads. And if you don't know Sydney, she's a white girl." Patrick found humor in the controversy surrounding Sweeney's ad, but the temperature has been much higher online, with people both attacking and defending the actress. Why are people upset about Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle collaboration? Sweeney's campaign with American Eagle is titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans." While on its face the title seems harmless, people claim the commercials refer to the "Euphoria" star's genetics as a white, blue-eyed American in a way that is coded with references to Nazism or white supremacy. "My body's composition is determined by my genes," Sweeney said as the video pans her entire body. "Hey, eyes up here." "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color," Sweeney says in another ad. "My jeans are blue." Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle, oh my god. — Sydney Sweeney Daily (@sweeneydailyx) July 24, 2025 Considering the backlash, many expected American Eagle to pause the collaboration, but Ashley Schapiro, the brand's vice president of marketing, said that the campaign was meant to be provocative. "During a Zoom call with Sydney, we asked the question, 'How far do you want to push it?' Without hesitation, she smirked and said, 'Let's push it, I'm game,'" Schapiro wrote in a LinkedIn post. "Our response? 'Challenge Accepted.' Infusing our own personal cheeky energy and making us as we envisioned how the world would experience the launch. "A desire to stretch beyond anything we had done before. The ideas kept building. The stunts topping themselves. Exploring media innovation that could feel like it was invented just for Syd's Jeans?"

I Tried The Skin-Renewing SPF Dua Lipa Takes On Holiday – And My Skin's Never Been Happier
We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, HuffPost UK may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication. As a pale, ginger Scottish person, if there's one thing that's a complete and utter non-negotiable in my skin care routine, it's a brilliant SPF. The problem is though, not all sunscreens and suncreams are created equally. Some feel greasy and seep through your make-up, others clog your pores and result in a summer of pimples that just won't quit. And then, god forbid, you accidentally buy an SPF that isn't sweat proof and you end up with a burn. If there's one person I'll trust the judgement of, however, when it comes to holiday skin care (although we should be wearing SPF all year round people!), it's the queen of vacationing herself, Dua Lipa. And fortunately, on her recent trip to Sicily, the New Rules singer gave us a glimpse of her holiday essentials – with one notable skincare product making the cut. In the background of a holiday snap of an Aperol spritz shared to Instagram, we can see Dua has been using Augustinus Bader's new SPF product, The Suncreen SPF 50. I've written before about the wonder brand that is Augustinus Bader – the skin care company whose products Dua Lipa has reported that she 'can't live without', so much so that their Eye Patches and The Rich Cream have a permanent place in her handbag. It's no surprise then that the singer has opted for the brand's latest product as her preferred sun protection. The brand has a serious celebrity fanbase – Victoria Beckham, recently collaborated with them on her own skincare line and concealer. Alexa Chung and Margot Robbie are fans of the skincare's patented TFC8® technology too – a proprietary blend of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and peptides that supports the body's capacity to renew. So naturally, if it's good enough for that list of stars, I was willing to try it out. The lightweight broad-spectrum sunscreen is non-greasy and fast absorbing – a welcome escape from other sticky formulas. Given that the brand markets their SPF as suncare meets skincare, it promises to protect you from UVA and UVB ray s as well as renewing your skin at the same time – both of which I found super effectively when I tried it out for myself. From having tried out (and now permanently using) Augustinus Bader's award-winning Rich Cream, I know that my skin drinks up their TFC8 blend and looks better for it – and The Sunscreen had the exact same effect. My skin looks lifted, fresher and I feel great about going make up free – and most importantly, there's no chance of my face getting burnt. I'm lazy at the best of times when it comes to my skincare routine, so having a product that does the work of a serum, a moisturiser and an SPF all in one is my kind of product. When I do wear foundation over the SPF, the sunscreen doesn't seep through – leaving my base looking flawless (if I do say so myself x) all day. Although the product comes with a hefty price tag, what I will say for The Suncreen is that a little goes a LONG way and for all the celeb hype surrounding Augustinus Bader, it certainly lives up to it!
