First there was the drama surrounding wacked wigged wuss Kim Zolciak not wanting to pay up the full dividends for Kandi Burruss giving her a hit song a few years ago. Now, the Buruss clan gotta deal with Phaedra Parks holding out on the nearly $10,000 she owes Burruss’ husband Todd for the final installment for producing her workout video back in 2013.
In the latest RHOA episode, Parks finally gathers up the gumption to chat with Tucker about her outstanding balance for her workout DVD. But instead of coming clean about not being able to pay up now, or to make installments, peculiar Parks threw shade behind the scenes. She played nice to Tucker in his face, but to the camera she joked that “his weekly allowance from Ms. Kandi isn’t keeping him afloat anymore.”
Tucker slaps a bill saying Parks still owed him just under $8,500 for his work, she argued that at the time he asked for the final payment her (now) ex-husband, Apollo Nida, was going to jail and she had to focus on her family and her health, according to U.S. magazine.
“Phaedra can’t pay me because she’s a single mother? Come on! Get out of here!” Todd laughed to the camera. “Cut the check and stop playing.”
Todd reportedly felt better, the magazine said, even though Phaedra didn’t actually pay him anything yet — though his feelings may change if he realizes that it’s not clear she ever intends to do so.
“It’s my name on this video, so I’ll be the one to say when it’s done and then Todd can get his check,” she cooed to the camera with a smile.
Burruss had a lot more to say about Parks knowingly being in arrears to Tucker for past due payments:
Kandi Burruss blasts Phaedra Parks for not paying Todd $8500 fee
In 2015 My husband@todd167 had 3 shows that he was executive producer on to air on 3 different networks. People lie but credits don’t. Check the credits! We’re trying to move past this petty bs about this workout DVD but it’s always tough to watch the drama play out today over things we’ve supposedly worked out already. I just want to make things clear for people who are watching this episode of RHOA. My husband is great at what he does & he’s been successful at it. People always talk shit on this show but I hate when they try to discredit him with lies. Let me just clear up something for y’all. Todd & Phaedra talked years ago when she was pregnant with Dylan about him helping her with production for her pregnancy DVD. He was doing it as a friend because he said they could do it way cheaper than the company she worked with on her 1st workout DVD. She approved the budget & she paid the first 2 payments but never paid the third for whatever reason. This was well before Apollo went to jail. Todd sent final invoice emails but there was just excuses & no payment. I told him not to worry about it & give her time. But now years have passed. You know how it is when you have a friend who owes you money but they come around with new shit all the time but never mentions your money… That’s why he was irritated. So to everyone who is coming at us in the chat box saying my husband waited for her husband to go to jail to ask for his money as if he was scared to ask, that is absolutely not true. He’s was asking long before. Just never got all his money. Simple…. And Todd was never being mean or disrespectful to her. He always remained cordial. The video was shot & finalized in 2013. She was suppose to give him the photo she wanted to put on the DVD menu & final payment back then…. It’s 2016 people. I hope this gives y’all some clarity. #NoShade #AllFacts
