The mother of Kandi Burruss, whom some fans say is the embodiment of the film Monster-in-Law, has finally agreed to family therapy following her relentless and ruthless attacks on her son-in-law, Todd Tucker.
Mama Joyce, whose full name is Joyce Jones, has been waging a one-sided war against Tucker for a decade ever since Burruss indicated she planned to marry the TV producer and restaurateur. Before, that Mama Joyce bombarded Burruss’ late fiancée, AJ Jewell, with similar insults and unprovoked barbs.
Joyce finally capitulated to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Burruss’ strong request for therapy in order to try to eradicate Joyce’s acrimony toward Tucker.
“I need my mother to understand how much Todd means to me, that this marriage is solid and, like, leave it alone,” Burruss said on the latest episode of “RHOA.”
Undeterred, Mama Joyce ranted on: “The guy you married was like a meek and humble person, now he’s like a George Jefferson little guy.”
Burruss spat out, “What?! You are tripping! Mama, you always be wanting to talk about what a man’s supposed to be, come on. Mama, I’m gonna need you not to do that to my man.”
Mama Joyce’s tirade included trying to shade Todd for visiting strip clubs, but Burruss quickly fired back, saying, “We go to strip clubs together! I am not threatened by a stripper at the strip club,” Burruss retorted.
When Burruss suggested the three of them to go to “counseling,” Mama Joyce acquiesced and said, “That would be good.”
“God, thank you,” Burruss said during the episode’s confessional portion. “My mom agreeing to counseling is definitely giving me hope — but I think that the therapist is gonna need therapy after hanging out with us.”
Burruss may be right to discern impending trouble. Remember, Mama Joyce also agreed to attend therapy when Burruss was going to marry Jewell before he tragically died in 2009. Mama Joyce never accepted Burruss’ engagement to Jewell then, much like she has never offered kindness nor decency to Tucker in the past decade.
When Burruss and Mama Joyce shook hands to authenticate their therapy deal, Burruss reflexively blurted out her belief that Mama Joyce is going to cause more trouble.
“I feel like there’s some side shade,” Burruss exhaled exasperatedly.
Below is a brief history of Mama Joyce’s rampages against Tucker and others.

Mother know best!
Mother don’t know shit and needs to sit her bitter ass down somewhere.She’s projecting her inability to keep a man onto their relationship.If I was him I would have divorced and made Kandi pay for her mother’s disrespect.She could talk about me as I walked to the bank.

Make money online from home extra cash more than 18000 to 21000. Start getting paid every month Thousands Dollars online. I have received 26000 in this month by just working online from home in my part time. every person easily do this job by.
So after how many years Kandi talking about family therapy? F that, I know tv still they should have Kandi check her mom. How she feel about her grandkids?
Counseling? A person that age isn’t going to change. Kandi let her get too comfortable with insulting and belittling Todd. If I was him I really would separate myself from that…his mom wouldn’t be pleased with the way he let Joyce treat him. This has always been a serious matter, because she defends that nonsense l, which means they are the same people.
I believe that she’s threatened by any man that would be apart of kandi life, because she’s afraid kandi well so taking care of her, she wants kandi ALL FOR HERSELF & KANDI’s MONEY, THE THINGS SHE’S ASKS ABOUT TODD IS SAD & EVEN WORST KANDI ACCEPTS IT, but Todd is still around and everything she’s said about him hasn’t been proven.
Joyce is the opportunist, but always saying someone is like Todd, kandi friend(Brandy)
Momma Joyce just don’t know that she is making the relationship with her grand children toxic. They will see how she treats their dad….she really needs to knock it off. She don’t want nobody to get nothing from Kandi except her and her side of the family. Its really ridiculous at this point.
It’s very sad how long mommy Joyce has been putting Todd down, He seems to be a very nice person, He treats Kandi well and she loves him, She needs a man, But I don’t think nobody could put up with her, She bitter to me and Kandi let this problem go way to long, I would have never allowed my mother to disrespect my husband like that for years, They have kids, They relationship seems to be solid, Mommy Joyce needs a life or go play bingo or something.
Kandi has let this go on for to long! Therapy will not make her mother stay in her lane. I know Kandi loves her mom but at this point she needs to cut her off. Meaning, she can’t come to our house or any functions that we have. Momma has to realize she needs to stay put of my marriage. I would not allow no one to talk to my husband that way! Come on Kandi put her ass in check!
