What up? What up? What up? What up, y'all? I am your girl, Kandi.
Kandi:And our next guest
Kandi:is a very special guest. She is what would I say about this woman over here? She has a very sassy mouth. She is tall. I would say she's beautiful.
Kandi:You've known her for quite some time. She is very comfortable with making other people uncomfortable. She is none other than a woman that I love. Hopefully, you do too. Miss Riley Burruss.
Kandi:She's about to speak on it. Well, my lovely little one. Well, not so little one.
Riley:Yes. The munchkin is over there.
Kandi:-:
Kandi:No, you will always, ever, ever be my munchkin. I don't care how tall you are. Anyway, I guess, is it safe to say you are a New Yorker now rather than an AT alien?
Riley:Half and half. Know, I'm half New York, half Atlanta. My heart's always here.
Kandi:Oh, okay. All right. Well, I like to hear that. Hopefully we can get you back down south because you be up in New York acting up.
Riley:Okay. Okay. I wouldn't say all that.
Kandi:Yeah. I don't know. Let's talk about the brand that you are building as a content creator.
Riley:Yeah. I mean, I think this is really like the first year I've really been leaning into the content creator bag. So I'm still learning, even though it seems like I've doing this for like ten years. But yeah, it's a shift for sure.
Kandi:Do you really feel like you're a content creator, though?
Riley:No, I really don't. I think at the end of the day, I really am like a nerd. Like I really do love going to school and like focusing on that. So in my mind, I'm still a student.
Kandi:So when are we going to become a student again?
Riley:Soon.
Kandi:Now I was looking at a little, you know, just kinda scrolling through some of the episodes of your show, and it was a flashback from episode one or either a clip I saw somewhere. And it was when they were saying that you were telling me that you were taking, oh, I'm just gonna take a year off a gap year.
Riley:Yeah. So where are we
Kandi:now since it's been two years?
Riley:The thing is though, okay. The thing is I think people forget that I wanted to take a year off from like school period. But then there's also the period of you studying, you taking the exams, you applying. So that does I didn't realize how long it was going to take me. But yes, I'm applying now.
Riley:But I have been studying, taking all my tests, like going over applications. It's just a process.
Kandi:Okay. And then in season one of your show, you were saying that you wanted to be a DJ. Yeah, I think
Riley:So where would since that be? Then Okay. So since then I've realized that you can have passions and hobbies. It doesn't mean it has to be your career. So I do enjoy DJing.
Riley:I think it's fun, you know, like learning from you. I love the music industry, but it's not something I want to do as a career. It's something I want to do if like, oh, like my friends want to come over. I can like, you know, DJ and like have fun and like hang out with my friends, you know?
Kandi:Okay. I was that was a question for me. That wasn't a question for y'all. Because, yeah, I got questions for myself for the house. Those questions.
Kandi:You've been on Next Gen for two seasons now.
Riley:Mhmm.
Kandi:How do you feel seeing yourself on TV every week?
Riley:It's actually really weird. Mhmm. You know, I saw you go through it, but now being an adult doing it on my own, I don't know how you did it for what, sixteen seasons. Was fourteen
Kandi:seasons of Housewives, but then it was like all those other spin off shows that we were doing.
Riley:Yeah. I think it's just so weird seeing yourself on TV. It's like sometimes I know I can act a fool. Sometimes I know I'm a little snarky or whatever, but like seeing myself, I'm like, I like kind of cringe. But you know, sometimes I think it's funny.
Riley:Okay. Don't make me bring up your seasons.
Kandi:Okay. Go ahead. Bring it up. Me what you I mean,
Riley:I did not forget about red hair candy. Alright.
Kandi:Okay. Is that why you wore red
Riley:hair today? Yeah. But, you know, I'm doing it tastefully.
Kandi:-I'm not here here to -She's of those shade throwers. You don't even know it hit you until after the fact.
Riley:But I'm like, I didn't come here to drag nobody, you know? Okay.
Kandi:Okay. So, but I mean, I would have to say, since you kinda like, you weren't, I guess, main cast as a kid growing up, but you grew up on TV, what is like the biggest difference of, you know, being a kid growing up on a show versus now you are Yeah. A main cast? Honestly, I think
Riley:I think the biggest difference is the fact that, you know, I stopped really filming with you when I was like a sophomore in high school or something. And I think the ability to step away is like a really big factor in everything. Like there were times where I was like, this is making me uncomfortable or like, I feel embarrassed having this shit on TV. Going through puberty and everything on TV was really weird. Now it's like, they want to see your whole life.
Riley:They want to see everything. It's like, and then there are people around me who aren't necessarily like in the public eye and don't want to be. So I think the hardest thing is respecting my friends and family's privacy while also doing my job. Right. So it's kind of hard.
Kandi:I want to touch on like, okay, even before you being, you know, on your own show right now, right? -So, as a family, you know, as a mom, daughter, whatever, we've been through a lot. So you said you had a lot of embarrassing moments. What would you say was some of your embarrassing moments, you know, growing up prior to next gen when you was, you know, when we were doing Just I
Riley:mean, I think
Kandi:And you could be honest.
Riley:Yeah. I mean, honestly, I feel like looking back, my hair was a mess. So it was embarrassing. Even now when I see clips from when I was younger, was like, did no one call a stylist this day or something? I looked a hot mess.
Riley:And I think there were just like very vulnerable parts of my life. Like you know, when we were talking about my dad and then even seeing conversations like you would have when I wasn't there, just that it was filmed and you know publicized. Like it's just like I was very vulnerable. And I think that also going to school and people who I like, people in my class who had watched the show would like say things to me. And I'm like, okay, keep it cute.
Riley:Okay. But yeah, like there were so many times where they would like make comments about you and your craziness. My craziness. Like not bad comments, but like, you know, the guys in school will be like, oh, I saw your mom. And I'd be like, no, we're not doing that.
Riley:Like stop talking about my mom. I'll be like, can you just pick me up down the street? Like, they're talking about your butt and I don't wanna hear this.
Kandi:Did I ever embarrass you on the show? Because I would see sometimes, you know, comments where, you know, like, obviously, you know, we said a lot, you know, when I was on the show or whatever and did a lot on the show. And people like, you don't think about your kids and dah, dah, dah. So, you know, you're my kid, you're girl, you speak for Like, did you feel like, you know, my mom embarrasses me?
Riley:Honestly, no. Like the only embarrassing thing was just like me being a teenage girl and like the boys being like, oh gee, your mom's so like cute, whatever. Like that was really it. But honestly, I feel like you being so public with, you know, your good times, your bad times, your crazy times. I think it made me feel more comfortable that like, okay, like my mom's been through this.
Riley:Like she isn't going to judge me for me learning and me growing and figuring things out. So I feel like it really makes me feel like free to really live and like see what the world has to offer and not be embarrassed. Like, oh, like my mom's going to judge me. Like, no. I'm like, my mom will sit me down, talk to me.
Riley:We can grow. Like, that's fine. You know?
Kandi:So for all those people that was saying, I was embarrassing my kid. No, just kidding. Yeah, now. And I mean, you said my craziness a couple of times. So what do you mean by my craziness?
Riley:Like, you, you know, wearing lingerie on TV or having, you know, your freaknic years, you know? I will not be watching that documentary because I'm scared she's gonna pop up somewhere. I don't know.
Kandi:I'm not on the Freaknik documentary.
Riley:You've watching them.
Kandi:I am not on the Freaknik documentary. But when you say my Freaknik, Nick, are you talking about if I talked about bedroom candy or if I talked about sex toys, if I talked
Riley:about sexuality? Like, I think all of those. Yeah. Like, you talking about your sexuality, you being open with bedroom candy, Like all of that. I feel like a lot of people aren't used to hearing their parents talk about that kind of stuff.
Riley:But I'm like you create such a open free space to talk that like if I ever have any questions or whatever, like, I know I can ask you and like be like able to like trust your word and trust your judgment and all that. What? Yeah.
Kandi:I'm glad, you know, you didn't feel embarrassed because, you know, as I, you know, I guess, you know, over the years, you know, anytime a clip comes or whatever, whatever, you know, people is you always gonna have somebody in there that's like, oh, you're your kids. So I'm glad, you know, you're able to speak.
Riley:Yeah. I'm I'm not embarrassed at all. I honestly feel like if people were more open and talking and everything, it would make things so much easier. You know?
Kandi:I agree. Okay. Now to the point where you're now at the next gen, right? Okay, so let me just give a little background about how I felt before you went to New
Riley:York. Okay.
Kandi:So, to me, I felt like you were super responsible. Like, Riley, you know, every summer she did an internship. At one point we decided to do internships in New York. You did that two years?
Riley:Was it two summers in New York or no? I think it was just one, but you're thinking of Stanford.
Kandi:Oh yeah. She went to, California for a couple of weeks at Stanford law. They had did like a summer program for kids in high school that were interested in law. She did that. She did, a summer in New York interning at a law firm.
Kandi:Shout out to Doug Davis. And yes, she you were only like 16, 17. Yeah. And you were up in New York. Yes, I did have a family friend, one of our, like, family to us that, you know, stayed up there with her.
Kandi:But for the most part, you know, Violet was learning how to move around on the train. She was doing all of that. But somewhere between that time and when you actually went to New York for college, it became a different girl. So help me Help me understand that part. That's the part I'm confused.
Riley:Okay. So what I really believe happened is that I feel like I was so sheltered growing up. And I didn't really I feel like I didn't really do anything wrong between birth and when I was able to be on my own and like figure things out. And I feel like even when I saw you go through things, you would always be like, okay, you don't need to worry about this. Don't like even think about it.
Riley:And I would never really learn what is what, like what's wrong, what's good, you know? And yeah, I was super responsible like the entire time of growing up. But going from that, having internships every summer, working every day, like I feel like I got to New York with just me and just figuring things out by myself. And I made a lot of mistakes. But I feel like there are some people who make the mistakes.
Riley:I'm like high school and then they go to college and they're like, oh, already been there, done that. You know, I didn't really do anything until I went to college. You know? I mean, I
Kandi:don't know. I mean, I think a lot of people start learning themselves or whatever and figuring it out in college. I don't think it was just you. It's just, for me, I was just kinda like, what? Who are you?
Riley:Like, when you
Kandi:did the whole that crazy amount of money on the credit card, that was first season. I ain't got the second season yet. First season.
Riley:Okay. Well, also, I think that for like going to NYU from like being in Atlanta and like, you know, the home, like being super responsible. Mhmm. There's no campus at NYU. Like the campus is the city.
Riley:So it's like you're going about like you're going to class and walking outside and you're just on the street with everyone. Like, you know, it's like a little bit different than like a campus, like town, you know? Mhmm. So I was kind of just thrown into it and like, here, figure it out. You know?
Riley:Mhmm. And yeah, made a lot of mistakes on the way. I wish I didn't, but you know. Yeah.
Kandi:So, okay. When you ended up being a part of the show, The Next Gen, It was a lot of conversation because I guess a few of you were from moms who y'all had housewife moms. Yeah. A few of you. I guess you
Riley:Brooks, Ariana, Gia, yeah. So four of
Kandi:y'all. Mhmm. Okay. Now coming up with a mom who was a quote unquote housewife in comparison to the other young adults on the show whose moms or family didn't have any ties to housewives, What do you think is the major difference?
Riley:One thing that I was actually thinking about, even at our reunion was the fact that I think the housewives kids, we have the understanding that, you know, don't bring up moms or families like that's off limits. And I think everyone else is like, I don't care. You know, like I'm going to talk about whoever I want to talk about, especially if I'm trying to disrespect you, you know. So I feel like even when there is any talk about like the moms or if they did something like we won't bring it up just out of respect for like, you know, the housewives like rule, you know? I think also we're a little bit more We know that this is a platform where I don't know.
Riley:I think we have more respect that even if a producer is like, oh, like mention this or bring up this, we will rather talk to each other and be like, hey, like, are you comfortable talking about this on TV? And if the other person isn't, we're like, okay, I won't bring it up. Like, I respect that, you know, and we'll move on. Everyone else is like, I don't care what you're okay with. Like, I'm going to say whatever I want to say.
Kandi:You know, it's kind of jacked up. And I guess, I don't know. This is me. Didn't I don't wanna have no outside conversations about what we're talk about on the show. Well, no.
Kandi:I'm like them. I'm like, if we talking about, we're talk about it. I don't like doing this sidebar conversation off camera and then come off Usually, camera and then
Riley:it'll be like, oh, like, if it's about, like, when your divorce came out. Like it's something, it's like something like that. Like if it's like, your family, we heard divorce or we heard this about your family. Then we'll be like, I don't know if you publicly are okay with talking about this. Anything else?
Riley:Yeah, I was basically like, it's fair game. I know I say a lot of things. And then sometimes they'll look at me and they'll be like, Riley.
Kandi:And I'm like, oops. Okay. So here's a question. It seems to me, and I guess to a lot of other people, that you in Georgia I don't know what it is about y'all. Y'all keep having these incidents.
Kandi:Yeah. So what is what's the what's the real issue?
Riley:So honestly, we're good now. But if I am here to explain that, really I think she's just a little bit calculative. Like she will wait until you're in a vulnerable space or whatever to bring up something she's known for like a year. And I'm like, that's not cool. If you really cared about it, you would have told me.
Riley:Yeah. She's very calculated. And yeah, it's just kind of like, if you really cared or if you really respected what someone said about me a year ago, you would have told them right then. That's not okay. Not wait until you know, I'm getting closer with them and then you want me to not be close to them.
Riley:So you tell me something from a year prior. And I think people are forgetting that even first season like, yes, I had that comment about, Oh, she doesn't wash her hands, whatever. I honestly didn't realize we were filming at that point. So that was like not me trying to be shady or rude. Then we got
Kandi:truly shady, babe.
Riley:Okay. I learned from the best. But yeah, so after that we got cool again. And we were okay. And then when we went on the trip for the season in Jersey, we had a whole day.
Riley:Everyone was ganging up on her because of a comment like she was going through with Charlie. And I was like, you know, I'm not even that close with her. But what he said is not okay. Like that's the principle, you know? And then we had a whole day just me and her alone.
Riley:Like I opened up to her about like my anxiety and all these other things I was going through. I don't think they included that in the show. And I felt like we really bonded. And then later that day, she made up with Charlie and then all of a sudden had a vengeance against me. And I was like, that's not cool.
Riley:Like I thought we had a bond. But you know, like we, I feel like every single time, like we'll make up, I'll apologize. I'll be like, okay, you know what? I didn't have to say all that. Whatever.
Riley:We'll be cool. And then five seconds later she makes up with Charlie or something and now wants to like beef with me. And I'm like, girl, you don't have to beef with me to be friends with Charlie. Like, you know? So it's just
Kandi:weird. So how do you feel watching yourself Oh, excuse me. So y'all did have a conversation since the pizza incident. -Explain the pizza incident to the people.
Riley:Okay. So, you know, I was honestly really embarrassed watching that back. And I feel like, you know, drinking all that, it's not the best for everyone, you know.
Kandi:I'm trying to tell you.
Riley:But there's also, obviously, you know, you were on TV. There's also a lot more context around that that were either cut out or heavily edited, of course. But before that incident, I was with Ariana and we were talking a lot. You know, I had talked to her about the divorce months before that. Just like, you know, other things that happened in our family.
Riley:There was a lot going on. And I really confided in her and I like was letting her know how I was having a really tough time. I didn't know what to do. And you know, as another child of divorced parents or parents that have like been through things, you know, really seeking her advice and how she dealt with everything. So she knew I was going through a hard time.
Riley:Before that girls night, me and her were talking. She didn't like something that Ava had said, like in the news or something. And so she was letting me know how she was kind of irritated with Ava.
Kandi:Are we talking about
Riley:Ariana? Yeah. Okay. So yeah, Ariana is letting me know that. And you know, that's my girl.
Riley:I was like, okay, well, I'm sitting 10 toes down behind you, you know, whatever you need. And I let her know, you know, me and Georgia, as everyone knows, we weren't on the best terms. And we were like, okay, we got each other's back. We're not going to go in there being fake. I got you.
Riley:You got me. Cool. So I went in a little hot and I am embarrassed, but I was just going through so much. I fully take accountability for everything that happened. But there was just a lot going on at home.
Riley:You know, a lot of things changing. Me trying to figure out my life with like school and work. Just I had a lot of things happening all at once. And to basically have Ariana's back, I went in a little hot with Eva and I was like, I don't like how you treat her, whatever, you know. And me and Eva made up and I really like Eva actually.
Riley:So I don't even know why I was putting all that energy out on her. That was totally uncalled for. And then with Georgia, Ariana was recently going through a breakup and she was being vulnerable with all of us honestly, like telling us kind of how she was feeling. And all Georgia could do was be like, oh yeah, I've been checking his page and the comments and seeing that the post he's making are like a little different than usual. And I was like, that's really weird.
Riley:Like she's telling us about a breakup and you're over there stalking her ex boyfriend's account. Like that's creepy. And so I was just kind of like already like thrown at that point. And then, yeah, there was a lot. I acted a fool.
Riley:I was just I'm honestly really embarrassed by the whole thing. And
Kandi:Okay. So what I got a question about. Because, you know, I just went through the clips. I almost really didn't want to watch the whole scene because I'm like Yeah. First of all, you already know I really don't like when you drink.
Kandi:Yeah. And can I just say, I want her whole life not drinking at all? Okay? And I'm thinking I'm being a good example. And then here go my child.
Kandi:My girl likes to party
Riley:all the time. Okay. Are we not going to act like there was no drinker in the household growing up?
Kandi:We're not going
Riley:to bring up people who aren't here. Okay. But I know people do say that a lot about like, oh, like her mom doesn't drink. Like, this is exactly why. I grew up around drinkers, promise you.
Riley:I've seen it. I mean, you remember there was that one time I
Kandi:was going work Kandi. My thing is though, at the same time, it's like, how did that make you want to drink though?
Riley:Didn't. Didn't. I think honestly, I honestly don't know why. I think, I went to college. Is it just being
Kandi:in New York? Because somebody told me that. Said New York lifestyle, like, is to go from, you know, the party scene is like going from the bars and drinking.
Riley:I mean, I do think that's part of it because one thing about New York, like if your friend is like, Oh, like let's hang out. It's simply like, Oh, let's go get some drinks. Like let's go to the restaurant and like get some drinks and some appetizers. You know, like that is the hangout or like let's go to the club. There are a lot of activities there, but it'll be like paint and sip.
Riley:Yeah, it's like paint and sip. Like you can go to a painting class and like bring your booze. Like, I remember me and Kayla did a What did they do today? Candle class or whatever. Bring your own bottle to make a candle.
Kandi:What I do today here in Atlanta too, but I was just curious to know, like, you know, you know, it just seems like in New York, obviously, as your mom, I look at you and I say, well, damn, like, when did all this happen? But I feel like anybody, you know, when they go to college, you know, they're gonna change and they're gonna become their own person. So I'm not I'm not, I'm not here to judge you. I'm just asking you.
Riley:Yeah. I mean, I think also, growing up on TV and having all these changes like super public, I think can kind of like skew reality a little bit because it's like, we're always kind of like on 10, you know? So I think it is a little hard.
Kandi:And another thing that skewed reality to me.
Riley:I was scared.
Kandi:It was the it was it was the, you don't have a Burkin comment for me. I was like, girl, you didn't even have a Burkin back when you said it.
Riley:I know. That's why
Kandi:I was like, what? Why was that the thing that came out your mouth?
Riley:That's why I find it so ridiculous too. Like, I looked at that and I'm like, what am I talking about? Like, I literally don't know why I said that. It was so childish and weird. Like, I don't really know why I said that.
Riley:It was stupid. Sometimes I do say off the wall stuff. And sometimes I think back and I'm like, what was going on in that brain of yours, girl?
Kandi:I didn't understand that one. That, now that, I ain't gonna lie. Now that one right there had me like, now Yeah. We don't even get down like that at our house.
Riley:Yeah. My mom doesn't even have a Burkin.
Kandi:I don't even have a Burkin, to be clear, for the people out there in the world. I don't have a Burkin. Like, y'all know me how I am. Like, I don't feel like I'm not one of those type of people that feel like even if you did have money to buy a Burkin, that that's what you should spend your money on. I'm not nothing against Burkins.
Kandi:And please understand, I'm not saying that I won't ever get a Burkin. I'm just saying, I currently don't have a Burkin. And at the time, I mean, you got one now, but at the time you didn't have a Burkin.
Riley:Yeah, I did it.
Kandi:So I don't understand why that was the thing that came up here.
Riley:Honestly, that was like very Honestly, it was a classist comment. And I honestly really regret it.
Kandi:Yeah, because you don't give that.
Riley:Not No, in my I don't. And like genuinely, like I don't Like, I don't judge people like that either. So it's honestly really weird that something like that would even come out of my mouth. Because I don't judge people like that. Like, I don't care about things like that.
Riley:Obviously, like, if I want something or see something that I like or that I feel like is good for me, I want that for me. But I don't care what anyone else wants for themselves or wants to buy or doesn't want to buy. Like you could have a million dollars and not want a Burrken like, you know. And honestly, to kind of poke fun at myself, I didn't have a Birkin. Amira had She corrected me.
Riley:She had a Kelly, not a Birkin right there. But I'm like, it was just right next to me. I was irritated with Georgia and I was just kind of like, you can't afford a Birkin. It was so stupid. I honestly genuinely don't know.
Riley:Said it like looking back. I'm like,
Kandi:did you apologize there?
Riley:Yeah. I texted her the next day. And then I also spoke with her in person and apologized. And I told her like, you know, even if I don't see eye to eye with you sometimes, it's never okay to even say something like that or act like that. Like, it doesn't matter.
Riley:That wasn't okay at all. And, you know, we've spoken about it a few times. And yeah, I regret it. It was probably the stupidest thing I've said. Actually, no, I've said a few stupid things.
Kandi:And you got a lot of backlash from it.
Riley:Yeah, I did. But it was tough.
Kandi:People were texting. That's what I tell people like. People don't understand. It's like, yeah, okay, what you see on TV is one thing. But then you guys don't under understand like when something crazy like that does happen on television, like people just random people be getting our phone number from, I don't know where they're getting the phone number
Riley:from. Yeah. I thought I got docs for a second. I was like, this is really weird. What is it?
Riley:It's like when people publish like your private information, like your address, phone number, like they put it out to the internet to like do whatever, you know?
Kandi:And you said people were texting you. Saying things like what?
Riley:So I got a lot of Black B word messages. I got people saying like, oh, like somebody texted me and was like, oh, of you Black people always do things like this. I would call you the other word, I can't. Like text messages like that. And for me, I feel like I understood the whole entitled comments, like all of that because I acted a fool and I so see where people are coming from with that.
Riley:I get that. But when you're trying to bring in like race and all this, it's like, I didn't make this about race. I didn't bring up, Oh, this was because of me being black or anything. I never did. But it's like, those are the only comments I'm getting.
Riley:Like, I don't understand understand where they're coming from with that, you know? And also, if I make a mistake, don't bring my entire race into it. Like they didn't do this. I did, you
Kandi:know? Yeah.
Riley:So I just wish, you know, I get the hate. But can we be a little bit more, can we have a little bit more cooth with it? Please say, give me a read I can use in the future. Like, you know, I'm trying to take some lessons, but there's no teacher here.
Kandi:Yeah, that was crazy. Yeah. I feel like last season, meaning season one Yeah. You had all the drama between you and Georgia and then it was the thing between you and Charlie. Mhmm.
Kandi:And everybody would, you know, it brought up the conversation of microaggressions. Yeah. Which I feel like that was already a major conversation online at the time. But when that happened to you and it was public, it was on TV, it really, like, people rallied behind you.
Riley:Yeah. And I really appreciate that. Honestly, it made me feel better because I didn't feel like I did enough, which in turn, feel like maybe I overcompensated. I feel like this season I may have Oprah. I can't even say the word.
Riley:Okay. This season I feel like I overcompensated a bit because of seeing all that and feeling like I didn't do enough the first season, you know. So yeah, I may have did a little bit too much this season, like, you know. But yeah, do appreciate everyone having my back the first season because it was a lot and it was very tough for me.
Kandi:So did that make you second guess wanting to be on TV? Like all the hate, like because you never experienced that before for real.
Riley:No, I didn't.
Kandi:So now that you've experienced it, how do you feel about being on a TV show, reality TV?
Riley:You know, one thing about me, I'm a big girl. Like, I think growing up on TV and hearing all these comments when I was like in middle school and all the hate then kind of made me have a tougher shell. You know, I'm very sensitive, like overly sensitive. But when it comes to strangers, I'm like, I've heard this before. Y'all called me slow, ugly, like fat, like all these things growing up.
Riley:Like, you think this is going to hurt my feelings? Please keep commenting. I remember I was talking to Gia. She was like, Oh yeah, like, no. I was talking to a few people on the cast and they were like, Why don't you just block the people or like put filters on your thing?
Riley:I was like, No, you're not going to mess up my algorithm. I want
Kandi:So to my question is when people wait, why were they calling you slow?
Riley:Because I think growing up, I was sensitive as you know, and I think I sometimes think a little too hard about what I'm about to say. So sometimes I talk a little slower because I'm thinking as I'm speaking. So I do sound a little slow, But I'm not. It's just like I really want to be mindful of what I say because I know sometimes when I misspeak, like people can turn that and make it seem like some Like make it seem like I have different intentions. So I like to be overly clear on what I'm about to say.
Riley:And I'm still working on that now because I still sometimes mess up and I'm like, no, I didn't mean it like that. I meant this. And then they're like, oh, okay.
Kandi:As a kid, what was something, what was the most hurtful thing that people said to you?
Riley:I guess like, I didn't like the slow comments because I feel like I'm very educated. So I was like, you're not going to talk about my intelligence. Like I didn't work super hard for this. So I think that irritated me. I don't know.
Riley:I think I get more offended by lies than like someone actually hurting my feelings. Cause I'm like, if I'm going to be sad, at least make it true.
Kandi:You know?
Riley:Like I get a lot of comments now about like, Oh, like she must be bleaching her skin and all that. And I'm like, I actually don't. I've never done that. I try to, you see, I'm on a flight all the time trying to get the sun, you know? So it was just kind of like, I don't like when people lie on me.
Riley:It's just unfair because then like, what am I supposed to give more energy to lies and make you guys believe I'm trying to like overcompensate by like really talking about this a lot. Like, I just don't think that's cool. But you know, when they say something right, I'm like, well, you didn't lie.
Kandi:Okay. Well, what's something that they said that was right.
Riley:I mean, you know, my nose, like people always bring up my nose. I'm like, that was like, what, five years ago?
Kandi:What that you got your nose done?
Riley:Yeah. I'm like, this was so long ago and yes, I get it. Like, you know, sometimes you got to, you know, grow into your features and whatever. Probably shouldn't have done it that young. Cool.
Riley:But I'm like, I'm like, okay, you're a little right. Did do that.
Kandi:You know, the thing that annoys me about that situation is that everybody it's like, it's a million people that have done their nose. Yeah. And it just seems like
Riley:they keep bringing yours up. I know. I'm like, see, there's a lot of people that I know. And I'm not going say Not naming no names. Sometimes people just like, sometimes it just fits them so nice.
Riley:You don't realize that they did it. And it's like, you know? Yeah. But I also, I'm like, it's my body. If I want to go get 15 nose jobs, then I'll do whatever I want.
Riley:It's my body, you know? But, yeah, I just feel like we should stop judging people. If you don't like something, do what you want about it. If you don't want to do anything, don't do it, you know? But I just feel like people think they have so much governance over other people, you know?
Kandi:Okay. Well, that is a Now that's This is not on the card. This is just a random question that I just have to ask, you know, you are a young person and now that is a topic now, right? People, the whole deciding to change their features or whatever, whatever. Okay.
Kandi:So what made you decide to do that? Like, why is that something? And to be clear, now this is something, this is some behind the scenes tea. This is behind the scenes tea. We were open to talking about it when we were on Housewives the season that you did it.
Kandi:But they decided not to show it because they didn't want you know, they felt like, you know, you were my child and they were like kids, you know, kinda like how we say kids are off limits or whatever. They didn't really wanna subject you to, you know, people saying negative things, which I would say that was a cool thing because they always catch backlash for craziness or the drama that people say they perpetuate. But in that situation, they chose not to show that we discussed it. We didn't You didn't do it on TV, but we talked about it. Yeah.
Kandi:So anyway, with that being said, why did you decide that that was something you wanted to do?
Riley:Honestly, I don't really remember. I think, I mean, at the time, I know a lot of people have speculated that like, oh, people were making comments about my nose and that's why I did it because of like the public perception or whatever. I actually had never heard anything about my nose before I did it. Yeah. But I think it was just something that I just felt like my nose was like a little bit too big for my face.
Riley:Looking back, yes, I still think I was beautiful at the time, you know. And my only thing was, I remember I talked to you. I was like, I'm not going to do it if it's like someone like, like not a good doctor or whatever. Like I want to, if I'm going to do it, I want to do it right. And so I talked to you, we had a few conversations, but honestly, I don't know.
Riley:It's just something that irritated me. And I think I was a little tired of having to contour my nose so much all the time. So I was like, you know what, let's nip this in the bud real quick. Right. Right.
Riley:And so the other
Kandi:comment that I see all the time is people saying, why would I let you, do something like that? Okay. So first of all, I thought you were gorgeous before.
Riley:You told me you didn't want me to.
Kandi:Yeah. I definitely said I didn't want you to, but I also know my child and I know that her Leo stubborn self, of if I wanted her to do it or not, eventually she would do if that was something that really bothered her. So I just felt like if this was something that we discussed and, and she confided with me and when I, you know, did my research, people always say, Either that's something you do before you make the big transition in life. So she was about to go away to college, and it's like, the people that you grew up in college with, a lot of times, you know, those are people that you continue to work with, do things with or whatever. And so they would never when you met them, that's the you that they know.
Kandi:Yeah. They didn't they they didn't they would never know that she changed it because a lot of them even didn't watch the show or whatever, whatever.
Riley:Yeah.
Kandi:So it was something that they would have to see as a comment to be able to
Riley:say, you changed you didn't know what
Kandi:you're about because she, she changed it before that major transition in life. So like what I would say is from what I was reading, it was like either you do it like before you go to college or after college when you about to start your work journey or your work career because, again, those new people in that part of your life didn't really know the you before. Does that make sense? I know it don't make sense to some people, but in our relationship, I'm always gonna be open to it, to hear what she wants and if she's that serious about it, at least I wanna be a part of, okay, well, making sure she goes somewhere safe, make sure it's somewhere that's, you know, gonna do it, you know?
Riley:Yeah. Right. Whatever.
Kandi:You know what I'm saying? I don't want you going off somewhere to somebody just cheap, to say that she did it. And then it's like some whole crazy thing happened because I wasn't there with her. You know what I mean?
Riley:And I will say, you know, after, you know, doing all that, I get a lot of comments about my nose, but weirdly. Yeah. Like the people who I'm friends with now, like one of my friends just found out like a week ago, Like in person, people don't always know. But I get it. Like if you have seen me since a child and then now seeing the difference, I get why that's, you know, a shocking thing or like a big deal because you knew me when I had, you know, my old nose.
Riley:But, you know, I think I'm appreciative that you were like, as long as you If you're really going to do this, like, don't mess it up. Like, you know, cause I feel like the face is like a really sensitive thing to play with, you know? So I'm like, for sure.
Kandi:Yeah, most definitely. But yeah, that was something that I feel like people just really don't let up. It's like, I keep seeing people comment on it. And I just feel like, why is this still a thing for you? Like, it's old news.
Riley:Exactly. Yeah. I'm like, this was literally five years ago. I'm like, can we like
Kandi:Move on.
Riley:Talk about something new?
Kandi:That's the part I don't get. I don't understand it. I don't get it. But they just keep on a run with it. It's like, okay, cool.
Kandi:Either way, you're gorgeous. So, It's like, she's gorgeous, she's healthy, she's good,
Riley:she's fine. Like And I'm fine. Yeah. The only thing that was really funny about my nose, I remember when I was coming like back into town or something a few years ago and they, like the TSA agent sought me and was like, this doesn't look like you.
Kandi:Oh, now that was funny.
Riley:Yeah. I haven't updated my ID or my passport since then. So I literally had to pull up the email of the confirmation of my nose job to like show the agent to be like, no, this is me. Just,
Kandi:I guess the facial recognition did not recognize. It was That's like funny. What?
Riley:It actually happened to me again, like a few months ago.
Kandi:Are you serious?
Riley:Yeah. When I was trying to schedule like, like the thing for my man's graduation. And so I went to like the place that's also a bar. And I was like, okay, let me like sit here, eat and drink something, you know. And the lady at the bar was like, this doesn't look like you.
Riley:Like I pulled myself up on Google. I was like, no, this is me. Like, I typed in my name and everything and she's like, sorry, no. And I was like, okay.
Kandi:Are you serious?
Riley:Yeah. I was like, I pulled up Google. Like, I've showed you my Instagram, my Google. Like, I swear I'm of age. That is hilarious.
Riley:Yeah. So if you do ever get a nose job, please update your IDs and stuff.
Kandi:Yeah. That is crazy work. She brought up her man. Okay. So you brought up your man.
Kandi:I did. My man. My man. My man. So, okay.
Kandi:You got a man now.
Riley:I do.
Kandi:We didn't see him a lot on the show, did we?
Riley:No. That's also what I was saying earlier about the fact that when you're on TV by yourself, like it's hard being able to respect your partners, friends, like privacy and also be on the show. Because you know me, I stay with him like literally every single day, you know? So he did, you know, you called him and was like, please, you know, be on the show at least for a scene or two. And so he was like, okay.
Kandi:But that's not his thing.
Riley:Yeah. He's very private. He's very supportive of me, you know, like anything he feels like if I need anything or want anything, like he's always there to help me and like give me advice or be a part of it, whatever. But yeah, he's not really into, you know, the public eye. Yeah.
Riley:Which I respect because it is a lot, especially when you don't have the choice of like how you're edited or like how you're shown. There's only so much you can do. So I fully get it. But, yeah, sometimes it's hard being on TV and like still trying to let him know, like, you know, I chose to do this. You didn't choose to do this.
Riley:So I respect that you don't want to be fully on it. Right.
Kandi:But that's part of your life now. So how do you plan to go forward?
Riley:I mean, I think he's more open to it now because, you know, he realizes like that's my job. But you know, I also feel like I want to be shown. I feel like TV shows a lot try to always attach a woman to a man. And one thing I really want to do is show that like I can show up by myself. And I think I briefly spoke about this when I had my conversation with Ariana.
Riley:But like everyone has someone like, you know, their person except for me on there. But honestly, that's kind of my fault too. Because I kind of wanted to show up by myself and like show that like I can do things on my own without needing like, you know, my mom, my man, you know. But you know, it's kind of like, damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's part of your
Kandi:life, Okay. You brought up Ariana. Have y'all spoken? Are y'all Yeah. Have y'all, are y'all figuring this thing out?
Kandi:Cause I know on TV y'all been, she was saying you ain't called her back and all the things. Where are y'all now?
Riley:We're cool. And we also have spoken about that in that interview because I also was kind of like confused when I saw that clip. I think something that a lot of people don't realize is that you will film a scene or film the show a year before everyone else sees it. So we have talked about that situation. We've talked about so many other things, hung out a million times since then.
Riley:So for me, I was like, okay, I didn't realize I needed to reach out again after apologizing a lot of times since then and like hanging out with her since then. So, and also, you know, I was getting all the hate. I had to turn my phone off. I was like really just stressing out. So I didn't really text anyone back or like talk to anyone because I was just so stressed.
Riley:But we talked, I apologize to her again. And I know, you know, I think she tried her best as my friend. I think, you know, she realized because I know there were comments made on the after show. And she was saying that she was surprised that after seeing the episode, I didn't reach out to her and I doubled down on the after show. And I was like, we filmed that after show before the series came out.
Riley:I still hadn't seen anything and this happened a year ago. And she's like, oh, you're right. Like I didn't think about that. And I was like, yeah, you know. But yeah, I think we're good.
Riley:I think, you know, we've known each other for so long, but then like didn't have contact for like ten years. So we're still learning the adult versions of ourselves. And you know, doing this all on TV does not help, you know.
Kandi:It's hard to have a real friend on TV. Yeah. And I tell people that all the time. Yeah. It's hard to be friends with somebody for real and then keep it real on reality television.
Kandi:Exactly. Because it's like, okay, I'm reacting in real time to what you're doing. But then you wanna get upset when it airs six months later even though we already made up Yeah. Six months ago when we were doing it in real time. And so it's like for me, when you on a reality show, you're going to go through it when it actually happens, you're to go through it again when it airs and then you're go through it again at the reunion.
Kandi:That's just, it's just part of it. And it's like, I get what you're saying. You're like, but we already made up. Why did you feel like I have to call you again when it aired? But people get back in their feelings
Riley:when you And then I didn't even think about the fact that because I kind of went through this season one where it's like, not only do you see the reaction, you know, months later, but then you're also seeing the comments and it kind of rouse you up And a little it's like, honestly, after seeing all that, I understood where she was coming from because I'm like, you know what, if I saw that and then I saw everyone in my comments being like, oh, you did everything. Like, you know, like she's a terrible friend. I guess I would feel some kind of way too again. You know? There's so much outside opinion, which is also why I like, am Okay with my man not really being on TV
Kandi:for a
Riley:Because I'm like, I've seen clearly, I've seen how that is where like, not only do you have your own conversations with your partner and figuring each other out, But then you also have to think about the comments and how they're like, what they're saying about your partner and then your partner's gonna be like, wait, but actually now that I think about it, you know? So I'm like, yeah, it is really hard. And yeah, people don't think about that part.
Kandi:Gotcha. So, okay. Rolling on. Okay. Speaking of relationships and partner, I went through a divorce and you said that affected you a lot.
Kandi:How are you dealing with it?
Riley:Honestly, I think it's really hard. I was talking to my man the other day about this.
Kandi:My man, my man, my man.
Riley:Okay. But I was talking to him about this too because I was like, it's hard because you are kind of, I don't want to say you're closed off, but like you protect your feelings a lot. So I never really know what you're feeling or thinking because sometimes you like to joke things off or like, you know, say things or like protect, you know, the kids and everything. So I don't fully know what you're going through and how it's affecting you. And although it's affecting me too, it's like, I don't want to see more hurt than you.
Riley:I want to be there for you. But, you know, it's just kind of hard. It's like everyone's going through it and it's hard to figure out how to be there for you and also be there for myself without being like so emotional and everything about it. And then having this in the public eye, it's like just another layer. And yeah, it's tough.
Riley:I mean, I don't think I dealt with it very well as people see during the season. And yeah, it's hard to know where we go from here. Because we were like a blended family. Like you still have little kids in the picture that like, they are still trying to understand what's going on too. And then I have Kayla who like, I feel like we kind of went through a little bit of a rough patch after too.
Riley:Because I'm sure, you know, we get different stories obviously. So it's hard being able to fully be comfortable talking to her about some of this stuff. And she's really the only other like, well, she is the only other adult kid in the picture that would really understand what's going on. But yeah, it's tough. You know?
Kandi:Honestly, I don't know why, I guess, selfish of me, I, I didn't really realize how it was affecting you guys because my whole thought was, okay, do not, you know, bring them into it. I was trying not to really even talk to you really about what was going on.
Riley:-But you want didn't
Kandi:you know, sway your opinion or hurt your relationship, with Todd or anything. Like, I didn't, you know, I want you and Kayla and Ace and Blaze. I want y'all to kind of be able to be oblivious. And that's how I would have liked.
Riley:That's just not helpful at all.
Kandi:I mean, I know, but in my mind, I'm explaining to you how I was thinking about it. And so, yeah, like, if I'm mad or angry, like, I'm not taking that to y'all. Like, you know, I'm keeping it to myself within. And, you know, I'm still trying to -MICHAEL: maintain
Kandi:doing the family stuff or
Kandi:Mhmm. You know, because I'm trying to keep things as normal as possible for you guys.
Riley:-Well, think Don't do this. Some
Kandi:things
Kandi:Don't this. Don't Don't do this. Okay. Go ahead.
Riley:Go ahead. We're getting emotional.
Kandi:I don't want
Kandi:to be emotional.
Riley:I think it's kind of like there's really no right way, honestly. Because I think that sometimes what you both don't realize is holding it in. We see it in different ways. Like you can hold in what's really going on and then I'll get an angry phone call from you the next day. And I'm like, wait, but what did I do?
Riley:And it's really nothing to do with me. It's like you're going through a hard time and, you know, we're in a relationship where like, you could be mean to me today and you know we're still going to be good tomorrow, you know? So I understand it's you can feel comfortable. I don't want to say lashing out, but you can feel comfortable being a little mean to me. And, yeah, you can be more vulnerable around me than you can with maybe some of your other friends.
Riley:But it's like sometimes I get off the phone with you and I'm like, something must have happened.
Kandi:No, nah, some of that stuff. I feel like I was justified in saying what I had
Riley:to say. No. Yeah, for sure.
Kandi:Because you be doing it. You be
Riley:trying it. Yes. I'm saying, I'm not saying you're wrong, but sometimes you're, I can tell when you're having a good day and when you're having a bad day.
Kandi:She'll just be mad when I don't let her get away with the BS. No. She feel like she's used to just getting away with so much. If I say something, it'd be like, well, what? What are gonna do?
Riley:No, no. It'll be like how you say it. Like sometimes you say things and like, now Riley, you know that's not cool. And I'd be like, okay, she's not mad at me. But then sometimes you will go far with what you got to say.
Riley:And I'm like, oh, okay, someone really made her mad today.
Kandi:It's never her
Riley:in her head. Well, no, I do. Sometimes I just need to like sit back and then the next day I'm like, oh, wait, I did say this part. I get why she might be mad.
Kandi:Yeah. What do you think is the difference of, you know, right when it started to happen, meaning the breakup. Yeah. Versus now that the divorce is over with and I'm single, like, what are you feeling now?
Riley:I feel like I didn't really realize what was happening when it first started. Because, you know, I was in New York. You weren't really telling me all this until like you were like, for sure done. Now you stay on a vacation. You stay trying to
Kandi:miss, show they on a vacation, Riley Burruss. Okay. Yes. But
Riley:I'm, you know, I'm young and turned.
Kandi:I'm young and turned too.
Riley:But I'm like, I could definitely tell, like, now, like, you be going to the gym. I can't scroll without seeing your body on my page. I'm like, okay.
Kandi:No, you did. But I
Riley:think you seem like free. And like, even with your, I did, I do, I'm done. Like, I can tell like you feel more open to speaking about what you've been through and going through and everything. I think before you were kind of going through it because you were like, I want to be honest and open, but also I want to respect what's going on. And I don't know really know.
Riley:But now it's like, you seem like you're open and willing to like have these conversations, you know? Okay. Yeah. But all I know is I'm like, please don't bring my man to Atlanta. I'm just kidding.
Kandi:What? Why is that? What does that be?
Riley:Never. That
Kandi:was some shade. What would that be?
Riley:I don't know. I'm like, these Atlanta relationships seem a little tough.
Kandi:Girl, anyway, didn't your man just moved back to Atlanta? Okay. Yeah. Okay.
Riley:And I'll be back and forth, back and forth.
Kandi:Anyway, okay. You have also been living your best life. Yes. You were bouncing around Spain, Barcelona, Ibiza, Malta. Girl, you've been everywhere.
Kandi:Oh, you was on a cruise not that long ago. Yeah. Matter of fact, did you do two cruises this year?
Riley:Yeah. Two or three? No. Two.
Kandi:Oh my God. You've been doing the most. So how is all of that, miss world Yeah.
Riley:Mean, I think it's really nice to be able to travel with my mam, my mam, my mam. But, you know You hate to
Kandi:have a dollar for every time she pay my man.
Riley:Oh, I'd be a billionaire by now. But I think it's really cool. We're able to like experience all these things together. You know, I'm a foodie, just like you. So experiencing all of these like new restaurants and different cuisines.
Riley:And then, yeah, it's honestly really fun and you know, expensive. Very. Yeah. But I've been having a ball.
Kandi:No, I'm glad you having a ball. Just know you got to pay for it.
Riley:Yeah. Did I ask you for money? No.
Kandi:No more. Okay. So what do you have planned next? What's coming up?
Riley:Yeah. My birthday is coming up. I'm really excited. This is going to be the first year where I do something kind of calm. You know, usually we're like, oh, let's go to the resort.
Riley:Let's do a yacht day. Let's do this, that, turn up. But I was like, especially after seeing the show, I was like, I probably need to, you know, touch some grass or something.
Kandi:Sounds about right. Yeah.
Riley:So, know, I really want to take this year to, you know, grow. I'm turning 24 and I feel like this is when you've really become an adult. Like 23 is the limit. So,
Kandi:okay. What are we doing about school?
Riley:Still applying this year. So ideally Have you already started
Kandi:applying or applying? Excuse me. Yeah. Okay.
Riley:So, yeah, I will ideally be going to school next year.
Kandi:When are you going to apply to schools in Georgia?
Riley:This year. I don't know why she wants me to come back so much. Think something that Because
Kandi:I feel like you out of hand up in New York.
Riley:I've been learning and growing though, but something,
Kandi:Something's expensive living in New York, and I'm not gonna keep footing your bill.
Riley:Thanks for that, mom. Okay. But I think something for me, the intimidating thing about moving back home to Atlanta is the fact that I feel like I've kind of got my foot in the door a little bit in New York and I'm known as Riley. And although I'm so grateful for the fact that you have paved such an amazing way for me and that's why I'm able to do a lot of things I do now. Moving back to Atlanta, it's like, I'll be walking around and I'm going to be known as Kandi's daughter, which I'm appreciative of and it has a lot of benefits.
Riley:But I want to be known as Riley,
Kandi:not You don't think people know you as Riley everywhere you go?
Riley:No, it's different coming to Atlanta. And I know you as Ms. Queen Candy don't see it like that. But like, if you're around you, it's like, oh, you're Kandi so and so, you're Kandi so and so, you know? And I want to be Riley Burruss, you know.
Riley:Yeah, it's just like if I'm seen somewhere it's like, oh, your daughter's here. Oh, like, you know. And it's like, I can't go anywhere without being like, oh, you're so and so star. It's just like, I want to make my own lane. And I have benefited a lot from your lane.
Riley:Thank you very much. But I still want to pave my own way in some kind of shape or form. I remember one time I landed, like didn't even get home. Landed in Atlanta and I remember my dad texted me and was like, oh, you're here and you didn't say anything. I'm like, I just got here.
Riley:How do you even know I'm here? Like, I'm like, I don't know if you guys have spies or something. But I can't do anything in Atlanta without it getting back to you or like, it's like, oh, you're Kandi's daughter, right? Oh, like, whatever. And it's just sometimes a little draining because I want to be known as me and I feel like I've put in a lot of work in New York making my own lane.
Riley:And I just feel like it's going to be reversed if I move back here so soon without really having a stamp next to my name.
Kandi:I don't think you have taken enough time to make your way here in Atlanta, Georgia.
Riley:Well, that's true. I haven't lived here since I was 17.
Kandi:Don't know how you think that you would be able to have your spots or your places where you go where it's all about Riley versus, you know, Kandi daughter or a blocked daughter.
Riley:Think I'm trying to do that a little bit more now. I've been going back and forth a lot more recently. So I am trying to take that time and that effort.
Kandi:Speaking of what's up with your relationship with your dad? Because I know it was talked a lot about, talked about a lot on, our HOA in the past. So where are y'all now?
Riley:Sorry. This is my man. My man.
Kandi:My heart and his man.
Riley:Don't be mad you ain't going. Oh,
Kandi:see the shade? She is always throwing shade all the time.
Riley:It's funny. But, I mean, me and my dad, I think we came to a better place this past year. So there's a time and a place for everything. And sometimes I think he doesn't do it correctly. But I do see he's trying to put in more effort, which I really appreciate.
Riley:And I'm trying to be more open. It's just really hard sometimes when you go through these things in the public eye and then you got to keep looking back and seeing it on your TV or in clips. So it kind of, you know, just like with Housewives and with Next Gen, it's like you got to relive it all the time when it just randomly comes up on your page. So it can be a little tough, but I do think we, you know, made a lot of progress. You know, I've hung out with my siblings, you know, on my dad's side and I think we're all, you know, having a good, know, Yeah.
Riley:We're definitely still in the building phase.
Kandi:Is there anything else that you feel like we should touch on for the people that you wanted people to know your side of it? I think for me, I embarrass myself
Riley:and not only did I show my singular butt cheek, I showed the whole butt cheeks. And so I am embarrassed and I don't want anyone to think that I'm not taking accountability because I really have. I've spoken with my friends, my family about everything. And I realized how embarrassing I was not just for myself, but for everyone around me. I also want people to like not too much on my mom.
Riley:She raised me right. I just clearly didn't learn enough. And it's not my mom's fault. So I really want people to stop blaming my mom for my actions because that was me acting a fool, not her. And she did her best with what she could.
Riley:And I still have room to grow. And I do think I was acting a little entitled and obnoxious and a fool. But I really don't want that to be the perception that people have about me. Because I really don't think like I'm this mean girl who like makes like terrible like comments. Sometimes I do make terrible comments.
Riley:Like that's really not me. Like really like deep down, if you get to know me, like I really am a sweetheart. I just play too much sometimes. Okay. But I will grow and I will learn.
Riley:I'm only 23. You about to
Kandi:be 24 girl. Okay.
Riley:Don't age me. But I have room to grow and I want to put in that effort to grow and you know, Got it. Oh, my man, my man, my man is here.
