Kandi Burruss has recently shared her thoughts on former "Real Housewives" star Bethenny Frankel's call for reality TV stars to strike in order to demand better contracts. Speaking to ET, Kandi expressed her opinion on the situation, stating that she has already addressed her issues with Bravo directly.
"I feel like things that I feel or have felt that needed to be addressed, I actually reached out to the network, and we addressed them," Kandi said.
Frankel had gone public with her campaign last month, writing a lengthy Instagram caption outlining her call for "fair and reasonable" terms for reality stars across networks. NBCUniversal released a statement in response, expressing their commitment to providing a safe and respectful workplace.
Unlike Frankel, Kandi has no interest in the boycott as she has already taken care of her own issues with the network. She believes that if any issues arise, it is best to address them as soon as possible.
"I myself wouldn't not be a part of that. It wouldn't make any sense for me to be a part of that," Kandi said. "To me, if I'm working with somebody, and I feel like they're not doing something that they should be doing, I address it right then. I don't feel like you should wait for after. You are not gonna check with them no more, and then come back and try to go for their throat. That's just how I feel."
Kandi is in support of Frankel's efforts to unionize reality stars, as she is a part of a union for scripted actors. She believes that it is great to see people be able to get residuals, healthcare, and other benefits.
"That would be nice, if there was a union for unscripted people, that would be nice," she said. "I mean, obviously, I'm a part of the union for scripted television and I do think that it's great to see people be able to get residuals, you know, some healthcare and some type of future. So I think if that was possible, it would be nice."
