Riley Burruss' decision to undergo cosmetic surgery has been met with criticism from online commentators. However, in a recent appearance on her mother Kandi Burruss' podcast, Speak On It, Riley shared her thoughts on the matter. "People always bring up my nose. That was, like, five years ago," Riley stated during the September 20 episode.

This comment highlights Riley's acknowledgment of the scrutiny surrounding her nose job. She went on to admit that some of the commentary resonates with her. "Yes, I get it. Sometimes you have to grow into your features. Probably shouldn't have gotten it done that young." This statement suggests that Riley is reflecting on her past decision and considering alternative perspectives.

Kandi Burruss, Riley's mother and host of Speak On It, revealed that she and Riley had previously discussed the idea of getting a nose job while filming The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA). However, production decided to cut the scene out, citing a desire to protect their children from potential backlash. Kandi explained, "In that situation, they chose not to show that we discussed it."

This move by the show's producers raises questions about the portrayal of celebrity families and the impact on their younger members. Kandi noted that many fans may not have been aware of Riley's decision due to limited exposure to RHOA. "They would never even know that she changed it, because a lot of them didn't watch ."

Riley also addressed comments criticizing Kandi for allowing her then-19-year-old daughter to undergo surgery. In response, Kandi emphasized that Riley would eventually go through with the procedure regardless of her support. Since Riley elected to have the surgery before heading off to college, Kandi thought that having it done beforehand made sense as a life transition.

Ultimately, Riley expressed frustration with the constant attention given to her nose. "I'm tired of contouring," she said, indicating a desire to move forward and stop focusing on this aspect of her appearance.

The conversation between Riley and Kandi provides insight into the complexities surrounding celebrity family dynamics and the pressures faced by young individuals in the public eye. As Riley navigates her career and personal growth, this candid discussion serves as a reminder of the ongoing scrutiny she faces.
