#RHOA: Kandi Says Shamea Should Stand On Her Feelings Amid Her Season 16 Cast Apologies—‘Don’t Hold Back’
After wrapping her rookie season as a housewife, Shamea Morton got some straight-shooting sisterly advice from Kandi Burruss, who thinks her passiveness potentially poisons relationships. “Don’t hold back on your feelings,” said the vet amid her good friend apologizing to the entire #RHOA season 16 cast.
While fans had mixed reactions to Shamea Morton’s first season as a full-time peach holder, with some even speculating that she might not return, her friend Kandi said Monday that she’s indeed coming back for season 17.
During an Amazon Live, Kandi shut down rumors that Shamea had been let go from the show, saying:
“No, that is not true. Shamea is definitely, so far, planning to come back… obviously the powers that be are gonna still test people, but as of now, she’s still on the roster.”
When a fan called Shamea “disappointing” and asked if Kandi had advised her to “keep it real” amid accusations of lying, the #RHOA vet didn’t hold back in her response
“I actually was with Shamea the other day… and I told her, she really don’t need that show,” said Kandi. “If she don’t want to go back, she does not have to go back. She’s living her best life. She has a wonderful marriage. But if she chooses to go back, then definitely don’t hold back on her feelings.”
As for accusations of lying, Kandi didn’t agree.
“I don’t really think that she lied,” she said, explaining that the real issue stemmed from Shamea not being upfront about her fallout with former bestie Porsha Williams.
“I feel like there were issues in the friendship prior; Shamea should’ve said something before, instead of acting like everything was okay.”
Kandi added that Shamea being passive let resentment build up, which caused more drama down the line.
“It’s okay to say, ‘I’m not feeling this.’ Just stand on it. Don’t act like you’re good, then blow up later — because then it looks fake. But really, it’s been bothering you the whole time.”
She also warned that reality TV makes it hard for real-life friendships to heal because drama drives viewership on platforms like #RHOA.
“When you fall out on TV, they gonna make you keep bringing it back up. Everybody gets to have an opinion. It’s got to go viral. It’s about to be a mess.”
She continued,
“Going into the next season, she just needs to address how she feels and be fully transparent.”
This comes amid Shamea’s shocking apology to her fellow castmates.
Hit the flip for that!
