Kenya Moore’s time on Real Housewives of Atlanta is gone with the wind. (And not fabulous.)
The longtime cast member won’t return to the Bravo reality show following a suspension stemming from an alleged incident with new RHOA cast member Brittany Eady, a source tells TVLine. (Bravo has yet to make an official statement on the matter.) Moore, meanwhile, is reportedly reviewing her legal options, per our sister site Deadline.
Moore seemed to confirm the news with a social media post on Tuesday: “#TEAMTWIRLFOREVER You are the best fans anyone could ever ask for. and I love you all so very much. Always and forever.”
The suspension stems from the recent grand opening of the Kenya Moore Hair Salon in Atlanta, which was filmed for the show’s upcoming Season 16. At the event, Moore allegedly displayed explicit images of Eady performing sexual acts, which Moore reportedly found online. “The network is still reviewing the content Kenya displayed during filming,” a Bravo source told Entertainment Tonight at the time.
Eady took to social media to say, “It’s never a good feeling being targeted or HAZED BY SOMEONE I thought would embrace me into a new circle, that I never met.” Moore defended herself, meanwhile, saying: “I would never engage in revenge porn, I have never distributed private images or footage of anyone, nor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail. I have always been vindicated.”
Moore had been a Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member since Season 5, with a brief demotion to “guest” status in Season 11. She also joined the Season 1 cast of the Peacock crossover event Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip along with fellow Real Housewives legends Teresa Giudice, Luann de Lesseps, Kyle Richards and more.
