Todd Tucker Breaks Silence On His Living Situation & Seeks Temporary Custody Of His Kids With Kandi Burruss
Written by 96motero on February 14, 2026
Whew, Roomies! Todd Tucker is calling cap on Kandi Burruss’ claims that he’s been living “rent-free” in her guest house. In previous court docs, the former ‘RHOA’ star aired out her estranged husband, accusing him of basically squatting in her home and not putting up a dime for the property’s upkeep. Now, Todd is clapping back in his own filings and setting the record straight about his living situation. On top of that, he’s also seeking temporary custody of their two children, Ace and Blaze.

Todd Tucker Addresses Kandi Burruss’ “Rent-Free” Allegations In New Court Filing
According to TMZ, Todd Tucker responded to Kandi Burruss’ claims that he’s been living in her Atlanta guest house and dodging maintenance fees. In a new filing, Tucker admits he stayed in her guest house but says Kandi “unilaterally removed” him from the main house. He says her family allegedly moved his stuff without asking him or getting the court involved. Todd adds that he didn’t leave voluntarily but kept quiet to help “preserve peace and stability.”
The father of three also addressed Kandi’s claims that she’s been the sole provider for their kids. He says he’s actually been taking care of Ace and Blaze while Kandi has been busy working in New York. Additionally, Todd mentioned in his filing that before their split in November 2025, they both contributed to a shared bank account for expenses. Once they agreed to part ways, he said Kandi allegedly told him she would stop using the account and handle all of the bills herself. With that, Todd argued that Kandi’s claims about him being financially unstable are false.
“[Kandi] now attempts to reframe and weaponize this self-created financial arrangement as evidence of financial instability or neglect, while the timing and sequence of events demonstrate otherwise,” Todd reportedly notes in his filing.

Todd didn’t stop there — he also called out Kandi for constantly throwing what he sees as negative shade at him. He says her comments are just a way to “shift the focus” from her extended “physical absence from their kids” and her “reliance on a third-party caregiver.” Because of that, Todd is reportedly seeking primary legal and physical custody temporarily until they lock in a permanent parenting plan. At first, Kandi wanted joint custody when she filed for divorce, but later switched to sole custody after Todd tried to claim it for himself.
The Internet Thinks Todd Was Taking Shots At Kandi With THIS Post
Even though Todd laid out his claims in new court docs, the internet thinks he already threw some shots at Kandi. Recently, he posted videos on his Instagram Story cruising around listening to Rick Ross’ ‘Stay Schemin’. Some folks on social media thought he was trolling, while others swore he might’ve been plotting something. That had ‘RHOA’ fans remembering when Kandi’s Aunt Bertha said, “it could’ve been scheme that Todd set up.” Peep the videos Todd shared below.
