Mama Joyce About To Destroy Daughter Kandi's Sex Life If She Marries Todd On 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' (Video)


Mama Joyce, the overprotective mother of "Real Housewives Of Atlanta" star Kandi, wants to move into her daughter's Buckhead mansion in Atlanta, Georgia, when her offspring gets married. Mama Joyce famously opposed Kandi's pending nuptials to Todd, whom she brands an opportunist and gold digger (and she could be right).

However, Mama Joyce wants to move into her home as well. Kandi will have no sex life with her future husband once that happens. Her mother has meddled in her life in so many ways, it's only a matter of time before that's next. Kandi's marriage would not hold up to Mama Joyce living in the house with them.

Is Mama Joyce Correct About Todd Being A Gold Digger After Kandi's Money On 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta'



Kandi Burrus and Todd Tucker

I know I’m late with this,but I was busy. I just saw the most recent episode of “Real Housewives Of Atlanta” today and Kandi’s mom Mama Joyce is something else. She is trying to protect her daughter’s assets from her offspring’s fiancĂ©, Todd Tucker, whom she deems an opportunist and she may be right.

Mama Joyce basically laid down the law regarding a prenup, but Todd seemed unwilling to sign, which would give him access to Kandi’s money and mansion in Atlanta’s premiere neighborhood Buckhead. In a forthcoming episode, Mama Joyce is also seen attempting to fight one of Kandi’s friends, whom she believes is messing around with Todd.

Mama Joyce is very protective of her daughter and it’s understandable. Kandi's come a far way and amassed a couple million dollars. She feels Todd does not have enough money to marry Kandi or good intentions. However, you can’t judge a man by the size of his pocket. You have to try to discern his intentions. Will he be good to your daughter. Will he show her love and compassion. Will he be a great dad if they have children. These are the questions you need to ponder.

Having written that, I must state this, what strikes me as odd is Todd will not sign the prenup. That's generally not a good sign. If you love someone and want to show them you’re not after them for their money, you sign a prenup to show good faith. It's that simple.

In general, even if one is not rich now, a prenup is a good idea, as you may gain assets down the road. What if you become wealthy later and have a booming business. A vindictive spouse in a divorce could seek to get at you by demanding half the company, making it difficult for you to conduct business as you see fit. Something to think about. Protect yourself and your finances.

Pebbles Does Interviews With Wendy Williams And Huffington Post Spilling Information On What Happened With TLC (Videos)


TLC's former manager and mentor, Pebbles, cleared the air on the Wendy Williams Show and in a separate video interview with the Huffington Post. Pebbles refuted TLC's claims in the film "CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story." She obtained a retraction from VH-1, with the network having gone from stating the movie is a "true story" to a "fictionalized" account of TLC's story.

This supports what the Judiciary Report stated all along about the biopic, that it contains inaccuracies, embellishments and lies. The makers of the movie utilized poetic license in a biopic, which is dishonest and defeats the purpose of retelling a life story.

Pebbles revealed during the Wendy Williams interview that she is of the belief Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas, slept with her then husband, L.A. Reid. This is an item the Judiciary Report has maintained for years. Pebbles also stated she did not rob TLC of millions of dollars. Once again, the Judiciary Report has maintained from the beginning, knowing the entertainment industry and contracts, the lion's share of the TLC money went to Clive Davis at Arista.



During Pebbles' interview with the Huffington Post, she revealed she never kicked Chilli out of the group. Pebbles stated Left Eye and T-Boz came to her stating of Chilli, "She's gotta go. We want her out. P we're not doing another day with her." She stated she took the blame because she wanted Chilli to remain in the group, believing she was right for the trio and if the girls kicked her out themselves, they would never get back together. Pebbles further stated T-Boz knows the truth but is "not telling what happened" so as not to offend Chilli, whom she still works with.

Chilli caused problems because she is promiscuous. She was sleeping with L.A. and Dallas Austin at the same time, causing distractions in the group. These types of things are known to cause problems. When Diana Ross was sleeping with Berry Gordy at Motown and receiving the most perks, the other members became jealous and upset.

When Kandi Burruss of Xscape was sleeping with producer Jermaine Dupri, who also did work for TLC, the other members resented it. Chilli, who came from poverty, was trying to get a rich man to make her wealthy and did do so by any means necessary, even if it meant betraying the person who gave her a chance at fame (Pebbles).


TLC

Pebbles also spoke about one of the original members of TLC, Crystal, who stated on the V103 radio station in Atlanta, Georgia that she kicked her out of the group, because she wanted to take home the contract to have her mother look it over, as she did not understand what it stated. Pebbles' response to this claim is, "Crystal made up stuff. She didn't get that far into the group to see a contract. Why are we making up stuff."

Another point Pebbles refutes regarding the movie is that there existed a conflict of interest in the group having the same lawyer she did, which she states is a lie. Pebbles stated, "We did not have the same attorney." She called Joel Katz's office in Atlanta and asked him to negotiate on behalf of the girls, who she gave "100% of their merchandising."

The biopic made fun of Pebbles for giving the group used RAV4 vehicles when their first album was released. However, Pebbles stated they chose the vehicles. They were new artists and their first album had only gone platinum at that time (1,000,000 copies sold). Therefore,  "Lamborghini money" was not there. TLC's second album was their biggest hit to date, selling over 10,000,000 copies in America alone.


Lionel Martin, TLC, L.A., Babyface and Pebbles on the video set of "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" 

At the end of the day, Pebbles summed it up as TLC being her vision and group that she named and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars developing. She used her talent and connections to make the group successful and was pushed out of the way and thrown under the bus before the production on their second album began.

She was not given the standard opportunity to renegotiate their contracts, as any other manager would have been afforded. Then TLC took on massive debt in making songs and videos that cost millions to produce and had to repay LaFace and Arista that debt before seeing any profit. Long after Pebbles was pushed out of the picture, TLC still had money problems due to their choices. It would be nice if TLC and Pebbles could sit down together, hash out their differences and call it a truce.

Video Of Kris Kross Rapper Chris Kelly High On Drugs Before He Overdosed (Video)


 
34-year-old rapper, Chris Kelly, from the 1990s teen rap group Kriss Kross died on May 1. 2013 of a drug overdose. This marks the fourth major Sony Music artist to die under tragic circumstances over the past few years (Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Left Eye). Kelly took a fatal combo of cocaine and heroin, known as speedball (or speedballing). He has gone the way of so many child stars before him, turning to drugs and alcohol to mask the pain of his fallen career. Kris Kross only had one successful album "Totally Krossed Out." The subsequent follow up flopped on the charts, as producer and industry conman, Jermaine Dupri tried to make them over into teenage gangsta rappers.


Kris Kross in the 1992

A video has surfaced of Kelly, showing him 48 hours before his death, high on cocaine and heroin, in a state of psychosis, struggling to rap to a song playing in his home. TMZ describes the video as, "Hours before his death, a drugged out Chris Kelly attempted to rap ... and spit out lyrics about a room full of dead bodies ... and TMZ has the sad footage."


Kris Kross in 2013

Kelly’s lips and skin betray the signs of heroin use. He had the appearance of someone who’s health was fading. On the tape he is surrounded by friends who are also high and drunk. Before the release of the tape, another of his friends, stylist Lisa Pope, complained to the press that Kelly had surrounded himself with a set of negative friends, who brought about his demise.

It’s quite clichĂ©. How many times over the past few years has the Judiciary Report repeatedly warned people to beware of the company you keep. Good friends will watch out for you, tell you the truth when you are wrong, discourage you from taking a negative path in life and not use you (for money or fame). Bad friends will give you the wrong advice and bring vices into your life (pay attention Justin Bieber).


Jermaine Dupri and his dad Michael Mauldin

My family and I are very familiar with the business practices of Kris Kross’ former management, ERI, who maintained an office in Miami in the 1990s, run by Dupri’s dad, Michael Mauldin, who is another con artist and thief. While Mauldin cheated on his wife with Tamar Braxton in exchange for career favors, Dupri kept targeting Xscape’s Kandi Burruss for sexual favors or he would not give the group good songs, marketing, promotion and publicity. And so, she gave in.


Tamar Braxton

Dupri and co were also constantly sued in unrelated legal actions for copyright infringement in criminally stealing preexisting works registered with the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. They’d steal from anybody - even kids. Dupri even stole from songwriters he signed, talking credit and payment for their work (which later resulted in lawsuits).


Kandi Burrus

That whole empire came crashing down due to being built on corruption, fraud, theft and extortion, as they lost their label, management company, restaurant and recording studio due to bad business dealings they engaged in all over the South. They are known in the industry for being shady. It’s apart of why Janet Jackson dumped Dupri and married another man.


Kandi Burrus in the R&B girl group Xscape (also feautring Tiny, TI's wife)

I’m not surprised that whole thing collapsed, as the illegal things that went on behind the scenes of Kris Kross’ career spilled over into their actual lives and sent them down the wrong path. Now Kelly is dead. 34 is young and too young to die. However, Hollywood has never been particularly kind to child stars, with so many of them dying young after being chewed up by the system.

Chris Kelly Tragic LAST VIDEO Drugged Out Rap Session

5/6/2013 1:00 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF - Hours before his death, a drugged out Chris Kelly attempted to rap ... and spit out lyrics about a room full of dead bodies ... and TMZ has the sad footage. The video -- shot in Kelly's Atlanta home around 7:00 AM on May 1 -- is a window into the life of a drug addict. There's crap strewn all over the house ... and several seemingly drugged out people just hanging out.

One of Kelly's guests -- who also seems inebriated -- pulls out a camera and begins to record as a discombobulated Kelly struggles to rap along with music pumping through the speakers. We're told the song is a track Kelly had been working on recently -- and includes the lyric, "We don’t stop, for nothing or nobody … look around you it's full of dead bodies."...

Kandi Burrus Fiancé Killed

Kandi Burrus' Christian mother did not approve of her engagement to Jewell, a reputed drug dealer, causing both mother and daughter tears on the show The Real Housewives of Atlanta

A.J. Jewell, the fiancé of singer and Real Housewives Of Atlanta star, Kandi Burrus, was killed in the parking lot of the Atlanta strip club, Body Tap, of which he was part owner. Talk about dying at a sinful place.

Kandi Burrus and A.J. Jewell

Jewell and another man, Fredrick Richardson, had an argument that escalated into a physical fight, leaving the former with severe head injures. He was rushed to Piedmont Hospital, where he later died.

According to a Zimbio page, in 2008, “A woman named Wanda Jackson accused Pacman Jones of punching her inside the club (Body Tap).”

This has not been a good year for Hollywood, as numerous entertainers have died, from singer, Michael Jackson to actress, Farrah Fawcett.

Arrest in ‘Housewives' ex-fiancĂ© beating death

Atlanta police charged a strip club employee with voluntary manslaughter Saturday in the beating death of the former fiancé of the newest member of the reality television show The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Ashley “A.J.” Jewell, who was engaged to Kandi Burruss until last August, died of massive head injuries at Piedmont Hospital. He was fatally injured in a "one-on-one" fight with Fredrick Richardson Friday night, police said.

Richardson also was injured as the two exchanged blows outside the strip bar, the Body Tap Club, Friday night. Richardson was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital where he will remain until doctors say he can be discharged. Then Richardson will be taken to the Fulton County Jail, according to police spokesman Officer James Polite.

The hospital would not release Richardson's condition, but police said he is conscious and alert.

Polite said detectives were still “trying to figure out [what happened]. We had a pretty good number of witnesses that are being cooperative.”

But the cause of the fight in the parking lot of the club in the 1200 block of Marietta Boulevard was still not known Saturday, Polite said.

Jewell was part-owner of Body Tap, a club popular with celebrities.
