EW is reporting that singer and songwriter Kandi Burruss, formerly of the 90’s R&B group Xscape is the show’s new addition.
Outside of her platinum-selling success with Xscape, Burruss is also known for her gift of songwriting, having penned hits for artists such as TLC (“No Scurbs”), Destiny Child (“Bills, Bills, Bills”), Boyz II Men, and Mariah Carey. Burress is single (well she has a boyfriend) and has a 6-year-old daughter named Riley.

Can’t wait to see how Kandi fits in with NeNe, Lisa, Kim and Sheree!
On another note…now that we know who, can somebody please define for us the word HOUSEWIFE…maybe we missed something!
