Assuming that Kandi is the only investor, she takes on all of the financial risk whereas Todd gets a 50% share of the profits. Thats a damn good deal if you can get it. Typically, the investor takes the financial risk and reaps the financial reward. Todd did risk earning money from another job while working on this project, but Kandi took on the same type of risk as she could have invested in another project that would have yielded the same return without splitting the profit 50/50. For either of them to make anything, the project has to reach a breakeven point and that risk is soley Kandi's to bear. Based on Todd's staff questions, he knows nothing about producing a stage play, but he gets a 50% share....thats like being an employee of Facebook when they started. I don't think the prenup is unfair when they share the profits of future ventures if 100% of the capital comes from Kandi. He said he did not want Kandi's money and she codified what he said he did not want. Since her capital is generating the projects, it seems that Todd is getting a really good deal. Without her, he would have to pay for capital to invest in these projects. What if the projects don't generate profit? Kandi's net worth takes a hit while Todd bears minimal risk. I think her approach was dismissive, but that may be because of Todd being cavalier about the situation. They do things at the last minute, they spoke about the prenup off and on for at least six months and he said he did not want Kandi's money. He waited to get an attorney to look over things. It seems that he took things for granted. I can understand him being hurt, but he contributed to the confusion by not speaking up. Also, he may not understand the impact of the current financial arrangement where he does not take on as much financial risk as Kandi. His feelings are so hurt that he has to vacate her house 30 days after they break up that he completely missed that he gets 50% of profits earned by projects that she finances 100%.

I would be confused by Todd too. He says he does not care, then he gets upset that he is not getting anything and that he has to move out 30 days after the breakup. I don't get his outrage if he does not want anything. Also, just because he lawyer got the prenup two days before the wedding does not mean that Todd had not read the prenup and/or worked out the details with Kandi over time. Todd has consistently said he does not want Kandi's money so I don't undertand his problem. These people have a problem being clear about how they feel about things. Phaedra needs Dwight to add taste and class to her party ideas. If I were Kandi, I would not be speaking to Phaedra for presenting such lame bullshit at my shower. Dwight would have choreographed a homage to Showtime at the Apollo with the best looking dark, milk, and white chocolate in town.

It was Kenya's fault so self awareness does not apply. She puts importance on looks, yet she has not been able to monetize hers. You would think her lack of success in that area would suggest to her that she needs a real skill. Of course, if your generous mother owns day care centers then there really is no need to develop a real skill or anything.

I thinking this is a role they are playing for TV. I've been going back forth, but I am convinced now. When Todd was hustling his mother out of the kitchen, Sharon turned toward the camera as she was mouthing off and I saw a smile/smirk on her face as she was mouthing off. In the cutaway immediately shown afterwards, Kandi was holding Joyce back and there was a smile Joyce's face too. My sibling has a mental illness and its financially challenging to manage. If someone offered my family a mint of money to clown on TV, I don't know that I would turn it down. I would like to think that I would say no, but I am not sure.

OTOH, Todd signed up for it. He knew about Joyce and her hold on Kandi before he got married. If he wants the marriage, then he needs to develop really, really thick skin. Calling his parents sex professionals is over the top, but Joyce has been sllinging outrageous mud from day one. Kandi never hid her mother from Todd and he knows that Kandi needs a lot of work when it comes to dealing with her mother. For better or worse........ On the upside of things, they are doing what they love, they have a beautiful family, they are healthy and they are financially secure.

It would not surprise me if Joyce kept the gifts for herself.

Occasional appearances were beneficial to Joyce. We are seeing her more often now. Plus, I think she is threatened by Kandi and Todd's relationship. Her delusional ass really thinks that Todd is going to come between Joyce and Kandi's checkbook.

Therapy does not work if you don't think there is a problem. I don't think Todd is an opportunist trying to take advantage of Kandi. I think Todd and Kandi are using Mama Joyce's crazy to advance their professional goals. Debuting the play while focusing on the Joyce issues on RHOA is genius cross marketing.

Whats interesting is that she is the one that starts the conversation in the first place. If she did not want Todd to address Joyce or work through the issues, then I don't understand why she brought it up in the first place. She did not need to say anything to Todd about what Joyce said. When he learned about her comments, she could have shrugged her shoulders and dismissed Joyce's opinion as she always does.

Cosign. I think I dislike Kandi more than I dislike Joyce. I did not like how blase Kandi seemed to be about the pimp/ho remarks that Joyce made. I also did not like that she did not want Todd to address the matter with Joyce. Todd should have ran when he had the chance. Kandi does not have enough money to distract from Joyce's crazy. They could have left Apollo on the cutting room floor.

I agree. In my experience, no one should ever come between a boss and her (or his) very special assistant. If Todd did not like what was going on, he needed to speak with Kandi about it or leave it alone. He should have suggested that they hire a wedding planner in the first place. Dwight would have made himself available to coordinate a tacky wedding for Kandi.

Talking about Kandi's weight is the least offensive thing she said during the entire episode. He said that Mama Joyce "mind fucks" Kandi, yet he marries her anyway? I am suspicious of his motives. If anyone said such a thing about my people, we would not be on speaking terms.

I think I have diabetes just thinking about that concoction. Kandi needs to check everyone in her life. Todd was out of line talking to Kandi's friends/employees the way that he did. If he had a problem with their performance, he should have discussed it with Kandi so she could address it. Karmon is out of line for not having a rational conversation with Kandi about Karmon's conversation with Todd. Kandi should have spent the money to hire a REAL wedding planner. Mama Joyce...y'all know. Of course Kandi is not going to do it, so the dysfunction will continue and its all Kandi's fault. I hope Todd's mother sues Joyce for defamation...saying someone was a pimp and/or whore is offensive. Kandi should have laid it down when she heard these words out of Joyce's mouth. What is it about our elders and the added "r" when its not required?
