The ATL has never been peachier!
In the trailer for Kandi Burruss’ new Bravo reality show, “Kandi & the Gang,” the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star’s 72-year-old mother, Joyce Jones — better known as “Mama Joyce” — grins as she prepares for an apparent butt treatment.
Looking at Mama Joyce’s bare bottom as she lay on a medical table, Burruss, 45, can’t help but comment on the beloved TV matriarch’s backside.
“That booty look right for 72!” the proud daughter enthuses in the clip.
But “Kandi and the Gang” — Burruss’ latest spin-off for the network after “The Kandi Factory,” “Kandi’s Wedding,” “Kandi’s Ski Trip” and “Xscape Still Kicking’ It” — isn’t all cosmetic procedures and compliments.

If the preview is any indication, Mama Joyce — who, alongside Burruss’ aunts Bertha Jones and Nora Wilcox, inspired OLG’s name and menu — certainly brings the drama.
“I have never, ever said that was my motherf—king restaurant!” she shouts at one point, though it’s unclear who she is talking to.

Later, the OLG hostess admits that she and parking lot manager Patrick Dallas were once in a complicated “situationship.”
In another moment, manager Brandon Black tells bartender Dom’Unique Variety they can no longer hook up as future intimate relations could negatively impact their jobs.
Naturally, onscreen fights seem to be prevalent among staff members — who even quarrel with their famous bosses at times.
