So, what happened between Tamar Braxton and Kandi Burruss? Tamar claimed Kandi and Todd Tucker “threatened” her.

Tamar and Kandi’s issues happened before their Celebrity Big Brother appearance. However, once they joined the popular show, they tried being friends again. But both Tamar and Kandi admitted to having a rocky relationship over the years, which became dicier in December 2022.

The drama happened when Tamar wrote on her Instagram Story that someone from The Real Housewives of Atlanta and their husband “threatened” her. Tamar used the show’s iconic peach symbol to confirm it was someone from the cast. Tamar also said the mystery person and her husband are “city officials” who would likely not want their business to come out.

“It’s BEEF, and it’s a REAL BEEF cause yo HUSBAND stepped to me! Periodt!” Tamar wrote on Instagram, per The Reality Rundown.

Following Tamar’s posts, rumors swirled that Tamar was talking about Kandi and Todd. According to celebrity blogger @officialkenbarbie, the threat came from Todd and happened in Tampa, Fla., at a concert. Todd and Kandi were reportedly upset with Tamar for defending reality TV producer Carlos King. At the time, Kandi had publicly claimed that Carlos tried to steal her and Xscape’s life story for a biopic.

“Apparently, there’s been friction between [Kandi] and Tamar since Kandi wasn’t feeling the feedback Tamar gave when discussing the allegations that producer #CarlosKing had begun working on an #Xscape biopic behind her back,” KenBarbie wrote on Instagram in December 2022.

Tamar named Kandi as the mystery peach on ‘Watch What Happens Live.’

Tamar never shared what her Instagram posts were about until several months later. During a guest appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, The Queens Court star publicly discussed the post for the first time.

After a caller asked Tamar about the mysterious Instagram posts, Andy grilled Tamar about the message by naming several past and present RHOA cast members. His first choice was Eva Marcille, and Tamar confirmed it wasn’t the supermodel. Then, Andy went to Drew Sidora. Tamar denied it was her before noting the star is “a full housewife.”

Tamar’s comment left the host to narrow it down to Kandi, though he didn’t think it could’ve really been the OG cast member. Tamar responded by siping her drink, confirming Kandi was the culprit.
