Kandi Burruss Wedding: Mama Joyce Blasts Todd Tucker After Nuptials Over Prenup Drama
"Real Housewives of of Atlanta's" Mama Joyce recently slammed Todd Tucker after his wedding to her daughter Kandi Burruss over the weekend.
The outspoken mother of the bride described Burruss' big day as "beautiful," however, she accused Tucker of causing drama the night before. While she is "happy" that her daughter ultimately enjoyed her wedding on Friday, she could not help but take one final jab at her new son-in-law.
"I got a little pissed at the bridegroom the night before this wedding. He kind of held up on signing the prenup and didn't come to the rehearsal dinner because he didn't want to sign it," Joyce told TooFab.

"His mom said she didn't see no reason for him to have to sign because they were in love. He was the one who didn't have a damn thing, but that's another story," she complained. "But from what I understand, he did sign."
Details surrounding Burruss, 37, and Tucker's alleged prenup remain private but information about their special day surfaced on Saturday. The couple wed on April 4 before close friends and family, including some of their "Housewives" costars, in Atlanta and guests were asked to wear purple.
The event was filmed by the Bravo TV network, but it is unclear when exactly footage will air. Burruss and her TV producer husband got engaged in January 2013 after meeting in 2011 on the set of the hit reality TV show.
The wedding comes five years after the death of Burruss' former fiance Ashley Jewell. She has one daughter, Riley, 11, from a previous relationship.
Fans were relieved to hear that Joyce, who has been very vocal about her disapproval of Tucker, did not interfere with her daughter's big day. Despite respecting their wedding day, she wasted no time in slamming Tucker in the press shortly after.
"I had no reason to bite my tongue ... I'm not gonna be the one to stop her from jumping into the fire. I tried, I did all that ahead of time. Too late for me to pull out of it then, not gonna make a fool outta myself!" Joyce said.
"Long as she's happy, that's the one that has to be happy. Doesn't make no difference if I'm happy or not, she's the one that has to live with him. I did everything I could do. If she's jumping in the river with sharks, she's gonna get chewed up," she sniped.
Joyce previously called Tucker an "opportunist" on the show and accused him of getting involved with Burruss strictly for financial reasons. She also accused him of having an affair with the former Xscape member's best friend Carmen Cambrice, which ruined Burruss' wedding dress fitting and ultimately left her in tears.
"It's not about me, whether I'm right or wrong. People show you their best when you're dating them, so if she's seeing the best now, the worst is yet to come," Joyce went on about Tucker.
"I said, 'She looks very happy. I'm happy that she's happy and I hope that she continues to be happy. I hope she's always as happy as she was last night,'" she added.
Burruss appeared unfazed by the rehearsal dinner drama and gushed about her big day on Twitter.
"Last night was the best night of my life!" she tweeted.
"To have just had the wedding of my dreams, it's all been so beautiful," she added to In Touch magazine. "Now it's time to party!"
