Kandi posted a reaction video on her personal after last night's episode aired, where Nene apologized to Eva and asked if they could move past the fact that Nene had secretly recorded Eva.
Kandi addressed the fact that Nene and Eva had made up and said: "I don't know if I really agree with why they [were] not getting along in the first place."
She even said she sided with Nene on this specific feud because she didn't understand why Eva would hold her grudge for so long.
She further explained: "How you gonna hold a grudge with Nene because she came to you with her mic on, while we [were] taping?
"You could have just caught up with her after the show was over. You know how this game goes."

She also claimed to understand Eva's anger, but said that Nene was only acting per the producers' instructions.
Kandi also reminded Eva that the show is a job and that they have to do what the producers, whom she refers to as supervisors, tell them to.
She continued: "The supervisors told [Nene] to go over there and have a conversation with [Eva] while we were taping and you thought she was pulling the mic. And she didn't.
"For me, when I was to have a conversation with these girls 'off-camera', I'm literally not wearing a microphone, because everything goes when you have a microphone."

During last night's episode, where the girls all go to Toronto to participate in a Carnival, Nene approached Eva and apologized to her for keeping her mic on last season when Eva wanted to have a private conversation.
Nene said: "I just want to say that anything I've done wrong, I want to own up to it, but I don't understand what happened to you and I.
"The longest we've ever known each other, we've never had an issue. I just wish we could move on."
Eva agreed and said: "Even though we've known each other for a long time, what we were building was getting closer and closer.
"I was having a vulnerable moment that I felt like I was having privacy and you of all the people knew how deep it was for me.
"I felt like you had no remorse or any kind of feelings about it, so that's why I'm like 'Well, I guess that's where we at.'"
Nene concluded their encounter by saying: "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, I apologize for the fact that I did and I hope you understand where I'm coming from."
Nene then told producers during confessional that she was happy to be moving on with Eva and that she wanted to hash things out with Porsha Williams and Cynthia Bailey as well.

Eva then came after Nene during the reunion show and explained why she was angry with her.
Eva said: "You said 'I'm going to take my microphone off' and as you proceeded to walk to me, under the understanding that I had that you didn't have a microphone on, you in fact had a microphone on."
"I thought your mic off and then we watched it on TV and you didn't call me to say you had the mic on."
Nene tried to defend herself by saying that she had previously defended Eva in many situations and didn't think she needed to warn her about the microphone.
The two kept feuding for the last couple of episodes - but have finally hashed things out.
