The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum interviewed Todd on her weekly online series despite many of her online followers slamming her for it. Kandi has faced backlash before. But despite that, she's been quite vocal about her support for the Chrisley Knows Best alum and his wife Julie Chrisley. She's answered fans online previously reminding them that she and Todd were friends long before his legal issues and that didn't change just because he went to jail. Todd Chrisley joins Kandi Burruss on her podcast Todd was the guest for the premiere episode of the seventh season of Kandi's online show Speak On It.

Kandi is asking all the questions that people want to know. In a preview clip, Kandi asked Todd about the affair he allegedly had with former business partner Mark Braddock, 'He implied that y'all had an intimate relationship.' Todd shared what happened. His lawyer called him and said they needed to talk. He shared what he said to his attorney about his former associates alleged lie. 'Let's be very clear,' Todd shared. 'If I f*cked him once, he'd come back for seconds.' Kandi laughed and Todd added, 'He said it was a one-time thing. It was an experiment. You ain't experimenting on sh*t. I don't need to experiment with giving head. If I wanted to give head, I'd give head.' Honestly, I cringed writing that entire paragraph. Fans in the comments weren't shy about sharing their feelings. 'Why would you platform this awful man?' one asked. Another added, 'There are far more interesting and compelling people you could've interviewed and deserving to be heard.' Many comments continued along the same vein. Kandi has shown that she doesn't mind the backlash though. Despite the comments, this will likely not be the last time she supports her friend.

Kandi Burruss makes host Steve Harvey blush with raunchy answer on Celebrity Family Feud
Celebrity Family Feud Season 11 is in full swing. Hosted by the Steve Harvey, the long-running ABC game show in the US has been blessed with some incredible stars. So far, audiences have seen the families of Taraji P. Henson and Jennifer Hudson face off against each other. The casts of General Hospital and The Young and the Restless delighted viewers with their friendly (and not-so-friendly at times) rivalry. But this week's episode is for Bravo fans. Former Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss and current Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards have brought some of their loved ones along to duke it out as they try to win money for charity. On Team Kyle, playing for Nami (National Alliance on Mental Illness), are Richards' four daughters: Farrah Aldjufrie, Alexia Umansky, Sophia Umansky and Portia Umansky. On Team Kandi, playing for Kandi Cares (Burruss' own charity), are Burruss' daughter Riley Burruss; Burruss' stepdaughter Kaela Tucker; Burruss' cousin Kight Dallas; and, Kandi Koated Entertainment GM DonJuan Clark. Anything can happen when these two celebrity teams try to glean what the 'survey said.' In this exclusive clip from tonight's episode, Burruss and her team are now are in control of the question. Harvey stands by team captain Burruss to playfully pose the question: 'We asked 100 women: name something you do to a bald man's head to get him in the mood.' Burruss, who has never been shy about sharing details of her sex life, winces and grits her teeth as she thinks of an answer. 'Oh, man,' says Burruss. 'Um, I'm gonna say straddle it.' Immediately, the crowd begins to hoot and holler. With a big grin, Burruss turns to the audience as they cheer for her raunchy response. Burruss' daughters can only giggle. Harvey, a bald man himself, takes a minute as he lets Burruss' steamy guess settle in. 'You know when you hear something and you don't know what to do?' Harvey asks the audience as he squirms. Harvey collects himself and continues. 'That is such a Kandi answer, though.' Aware of the fact that she only knows how to be herself, Burruss just laughs and nods. Harvey turns to the board and yells 'Straddle it,' as a big red X flashes on the screen, indicating that Burruss' guess was not one of the top 5 responses from the survey.

The Rise of the Reality Star D.J.
On a recent episode of 'Next Gen NYC,' a reality show that follows the 20-something progeny of Bravo stars as they navigate life in New York City, the influencer Riley Burruss shocks her mother with a career confession. 'I want to be a D.J.,' she tells Kandi Burruss, a producer, entrepreneur and former star of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta.' 'When you were growing up, we always had this plan: You're going to be a lawyer one day,' the elder Ms. Burruss counters. Not anymore. Riley Burruss appears to be joining the ranks of reality stars who are seeking to add D.J. to their multihyphenate. Ms. Burruss, who graduated from N.Y.U. with a bachelor's degree in music, has more credibility than most. Beyond her there is Kyle Cooke, the 42-year-old star of the Bravo show 'Summer House,' and a founder of the beverage company Loverboy, who revealed last year that he's 'always wanted to be a D.J.,' prompting derision from at least a few of his castmates. (He recently completed a multicity tour.) In February, Dorinda Medley, a former cast member of 'The Real Housewives of New York City,' was the D.J. at a Fashion Week party for The Cut, and last month, Meredith Marks, of 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,' spun tunes for a Times Square crowd during Pride. Gone are the days of model/D.J. Enter: the reality star/D.J. Rob Principe, who helped found the Scratch DJ Academy in 2002 as a place to teach the art of being a disc jockey, said in a recent interview that it has never been easier to get into the field. He estimates that he has taught more than 500,000 students, but the rise of streaming services, and the creation of software like Serato, has made the whole thing more approachable. 'You had the democratization of music,' he said. 'Everybody now can access millions of songs right on any devices they carry with them everywhere, so the barrier to entry got obliterated.' Mr. Principe said that the students enrolling at Scratch used to come from all walks of life. Now, however, he's noticed 'it's more early 20s, people that are either artistic by nature, that truly want to learn it like as an instrument and an art form, and then others that are interested in learning it as a kind of a side hustle.' As a fan of reality TV, Mr. Principe has watched with interest as the Bravo set gravitated toward his field. And though he can't name names, he said 'a significant number of this cohort come to us' and that they fully confess to having booked gigs without knowing how to D.J. The search for a side hustle make sense. Unless the show in question is a major hit, or the person involved is a longtime cast member, being a reality star isn't as lucrative as one might think. And the cost of constantly appearing camera-ready can be exorbitant. Reality stars, as a result, frequently look for other income streams. Some partner with Amazon Live to host shopping events, while others create companies — like Loverboy — that can be pitched on their shows. Being a D.J. opens up their options, allowing them to get paid to host parties and play sets at nightclubs around the country. Mr. Principe estimates a club could pay $1,500-$2,500 for a set, though brand and corporate events would pay more. For other Bravo stars, being a D.J. has helped them transition out of the hospitality industry. The most commercially successful of the Bravo D.J. bunch is James Kennedy, the former 'Vanderpump Rules' bus boy, who — despite being arrested in December on a domestic violence charge — continues to perform at nightclubs and casinos across the country. The budding D.J. career of Maddi Reese, a star of 'Southern Hospitality,' and a manager at the Charleston nightclub Republic, was a major plotline on the show this season. Her goal? To eventually get big enough to quit Republic. Some of the stars are, undoubtedly, in it for the love of the craft, while others are simply hopping on the bandwagon to make a few bucks. But Mr. Principe said that for many in the industry, it doesn't matter if they have the requisite skills that would be expected from a D.J. 'If they're enjoying themselves and they're coming for the experience, who cares?' he said. He added, however, that knowing your stuff can't hurt. 'It's always a more enriching experience as an artist and to connect to your fans if you truly understand the art form so you can be the best ambassador possible for it,' he said.
