Burruss spoke with BravoTV.com Tuesday and explained how she and Tucker hit a brief snag in their relationship.

"As soon as todd and I got married he had to leave for LA to start production on his show. We went from being together every day to going weeks without seeing each other. It took some time to adjust. Things were tense for a short period of time, but we're great now."

She did admit that she wishes she did not speak on their issues on national television.

"I do regret talking about it on TV. I'm a very open person, but I'm learning that it's not always a great idea to be an open book when it comes to your marriage."

She also dished on seeing her reality TV bestie, Phaedra Parks, get harassed by her estranged husband Apollo Nida just hours before he began his eight-year sentence in federal prison. Viewres saw Nida not only run up on Parks with a drill in his hand (he ended up putting it down upon seeing how scared she was), but accused her of cheating and taking everything from him.

"That was crazy and intense!" Burruss said. "Phaedra kept her cool. Thank God! Obviously Apollo wasn't thinking clearly."
