If you watch Real Housewives of Dallas regularly, then you already know that D'Andra Simmons has what some might refer to as a "complicated" relationship with her mother, Dee Simmons. While most mother-daughter duos bicker sometimes, the stakes are much, much higher for these dueling businesswomen. 

The story goes that the trouble between D'Andra and her mother first began when she left her cushy job in Washington, D.C. to come work for her mother's company, Ultimate Living. During an interview with Dujour, D'Andra explained that she only left her career behind because she was promised that she would eventually be given the keys to her mother's empire. "My mother said, 'You're never going to have another chance to have your own business,' so I came home," Simmons divulged. 

But once she came home, Mama Dee appeared to have a change of heart. Unfortunately, things only went from bad to worse when Mama Dee finally relinquished the proverbial keys to the kingdom, only for D'Andra to find out months later that the company was in dire straits. In an interview with The Daily Dish, D'Andra spoke candidly about the omission of information: "I still don't know why she didn't let me see the numbers and why she kept that information from me. That's a question I don't think I'll ever have the answer to." YIKES.
