After causing a ruckus on this season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Mama Joyce revealed that much of her broken relationship with Kandi Burruss was caused by one of her daughter's co-stars.

She recently told HLNtv.com, "I was upset because of one of the ladies on the [show]. Cynthia [Bailey] was on [Watch What Happens Live] and they made the comment 'Who takes care of Mama Joyce?' And Cynthia said, 'I think Kandi does.' So I called Kandi and I said, 'Kandi, call them up and let them know you do not take care of me. I take care of myself.'"

Mama Joyce went on to say that she has lived in the same house for 37 years and Burruss tried to get her to ignore Bailey's comment.

"But I said 'no. I want you to straighten that out,' " she said, admitting that it hurt her feelings that Burruss would not stick up for her.

"I was misunderstood because they think that I was more concerned with her money and taking care of me and that's not the case. My whole thing is, I love my daughter more than I love myself...Protecting and looking out for her."

Mama Joyce revealed that at one point she and Burruss went weeks without talking until she called her daughter. All is well between them now.

"It's in a very good place. I think it was Christmas. She was going out of town, and I said I am not going to let my baby go out of town and not [give] her a call. We hadn't talked for a couple of weeks. I was really upset with her."

As far as Burruss' fiance Todd Rucker, Mama Joyce said they haven't spoken and she has stayed out their relationship.
