Kenya Moore will not be returning to the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” for Season 16 after displaying posters of one of the show’s newcomers allegedly performing oral sex. A source confirmed that there have been no discussions regarding a potential return for Moore, who has been a part of the show for over 11 seasons. An insider also mentioned that Moore may be considering her legal options as she feels the network did not have her best interest in mind when making the decision to not bring her back.
Even though representatives for Moore were not immediately available for comments, she seemed to confirm the news on her social media, showing appreciation for her fans by using the hashtag “#TEAMTWIRLFOREVER.” Earlier in the month, it was reported that Moore was indefinitely suspended from the show after displaying the inappropriate posters at the grand opening of her hair spa. Bravo cameras were present at the event, but the newcomer, Brittany Eady, was not in attendance, leading to speculations about the motive behind Moore using the controversial images.
Moore had allegedly made the decision to display the inappropriate pictures because of a threat made by Eady using the word “gun.” However, sources close to production denied these claims, stating that at no time was Moore threatened with any weapon or was one present during the filming of the event. The network launched an investigation into the matter, but nothing substantial came to light. Following her suspension, Moore posted a video on Instagram where she confidently stated that she would still be visible despite the controversies surrounding her actions.
In a social media post, Eady expressed her disappointment at being targeted by someone she thought would welcome her into a new circle. She denied ever having possession of weapons or threatening anyone and expressed her hurt about the negative narrative that was being propagated. Additionally, an audio clip was leaked of Moore allegedly calling Eady an escort who charged $1400 for services. Despite the backlash, Moore’s former co-star Kandi Burruss came to her defense, stating that she should not have been ridiculed for her actions and that such behavior was not uncommon in the realm of reality TV.
Burruss expressed her disapproval of Moore’s suspension, arguing that in the context of reality TV, such actions were not outside the norm. She questioned the sudden shift in attitudes towards unconventional behavior on the show and emphasized that Moore’s actions should not have elicited such a strong reaction. While Moore faced backlash for her controversial actions, she also received support from some of her peers, highlighting the complexity of the situation. Ultimately, Moore’s future on the show remains uncertain as she deals with the aftermath of the controversy surrounding her suspension and her on-screen behavior.
