"Ace was confused. He was like, ‘So, the police are the bad guys?’ Now isn’t that crazy to have to explain that to a four-year-old," she shared on Watch What Happens Live.
She continued, "For you to be Black and have to worry about the police being the bad guys. I know you guys say I cry all the time but that’s an emotional thing for me."
Burruss is also a mom to 17-year-old Riley, and a 6-month-old named Blaze. She said to Cohen of her children, "Andy, I know you care about us, but you don’t have to think about that. That’s something that we have to think about for our sons."
