Martell Holt Drags Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker!
Shereé Whitfield’s romance with Martell Holt has been a hot topic among Real Housewives of Atlanta stars, Kenya Moore and Kandi Burruss — but not in a good way.
Martell’s messy divorce from Melody Shari branded him a cheater and Kenya Moore was not convinced that the Love & Marriage: Huntsville star had turned over a new leaf with Shereé. She also alleged that Martell put the moves on her before pursuing a relationship with Shereé.
Kandi initially suspected that Martell was using Shereé for self-promotion.
Last August, Kandi dished during a radio show appearance that she was friendly with another reality star who also went on a date with Martell, earlier that year. The singer explained that the family friend and Martell tried to pull off a publicity stunt by arranging for paparazzi to photograph them together at her restaurant, Blaze. Kandi claimed that the photos were only picked up by one small blog, but that the incident was hard to forget.
Sheree and Martell discuss Kandi’s assessment on the season premiere episode, which airs Sunday.
“She said I was an opportunist,” Martell says, adding — “I guess she forgot what an opportunist was.”
Shereé asks for clarification and Martell replies — “Your husband.”
Shereé dismisses the idea that Kandi and her husband, Todd Tucker, would cause issues at the upcoming birthday party Sanya Richards-Ross was throwing for her husband, Aaron.
The birthday bash sets the scene for the first cast gathering of the season.
Sheree says — “I think they’ll be respectful in person.”
Martell turns up the heat when he replies — “Aren’t they like 3 ft tall, both of them? They better be got **** respectful.”
Shereé addresses Martell’s unfaithful past in a confessional spot.
She explains — “Despite what you see on TV, he’s never shown me anything but respect. And I’m really happy that I didn’t give up on love, that I left the door open.”
Kandi and Kenya both threw shade at Shereé’s new romance during a RHOA BravoCon panel, in October.
Kandi remarked — “Honey, didn’t I tell you that the first week started off with a bang? They told me I can’t give you any secrets, but I’ll say that.”
Kenya added — “I want Shereé to be happy. I want her to pick better. I think she’s a good pick, but I don’t think she’s [got] a good picker.”
The She by Shereé designer said at the time that she was happy in her relationship.
Shereé said — “I am having a good time. I’m just, you know, we enjoy each other. I’m dating and I don’t take anything too [seriously] right now.”
She added — “It’s so funny that Kenya [disapproves of Martell] because every time she would text me or I would talk to her, she’s asking about him. So then, to get where she is now, and some things that happen is kind of crazy to me, but hopefully, everything can be worked out.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres Sunday at 8 pm ET, on Bravo.
