She was recently a guest on Hot 97 in New York where she talked about season 6, her and Todd’s business relationship, managing finances, and the musical she performed in that took place in the city. Program Director and radio host, Ebro, specifically asked Kandi if the husbands make any money from the show. Here’s her reply: “They [Bravo] kept asking him [Todd], “Would you please? Would you please?”, because I can’t be on the show and act like I’m not in a relationship. That’s not real. And yeah, that’s corny. So, he finally agreed to do it. And then now it’s kind of gotten out of control this season. He’s like, “Ugh…oh my God”. And they don’t pay the guys to be on the show.” Watch video (at 26:01 mark): Interesting… Considering the popularity of the show, you would expect the fellas to receive a little something for their time. It was once rumored that the husbands were paid around $50K a season. Guess that rumor wasn’t true. DO YOU THINK THE HUSBANDS SHOULD GET PAID?
