Kenya Moore’s Real Housewives of Atlanta Exit Explained

Fans of the Real Housewives of Atlanta were dealt a crushing blow only days after Season 16 filming had gotten underway. Love or hate her, the “Gone with the Wind” fabulous queen Kenya Moore was fired from the series. The news came quickly and abruptly, with mixed messages coming from both camps. But now we are breaking down everything you need to know about the firing of a Real Housewives icon and what this could mean for the upcoming season.

Kenya gets suspended

In early June, multiple outlets reported on Kenya’s suspension after her Kenya Moore Hair Spa event, which went sideways. The suspensions reportedly came after Kenya used posters as decorations that showed images of newbie Brittany Eady performing oral sex on a mystery man. At the time, a source told Entertainment Tonight that the photos were “allegedly found online.”

At the same time, Kenya raised concerns about a gun threat made by Brittany before her event. Bravo investigated the former Miss USA’s claim but found no evidence. The source clarified to the outlet, “At no time was Kenya ever threatened with a weapon, nor was there ever a weapon present during the course of production.”

Brittany responds

During the same time of the suspension, Brittany took to her Instagram Story to share, “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.” In a second post, the newest peach cited the Georgia State law. The rookie wrote, “In Georgia, the distribution of sexually explicit material with the consent of the person depicted is considered a criminal offense. Violating Georgia’s revenge porn law is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment  up to one year, or both.”

Kenya speaks out

Shortly after the incident Kenya posted a statement on X defending herself. The mother of one wrote, “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. I can’t talk about STORY even with people planting fake news #sweet16.”

Kenya is fired

Kenya was officially let go at the end of June. A source told LoveBScott, “It was clear Kenya went through great lengths to antagonize her. Those photos aren’t easily accessible on the internet…otherwise, they’d be circulating right now. She not only got the photos from somewhere but also got posters made. That’s not something you would do to someone who allegedly threatened you with a gun.”

With a new Bravo code of conduct, the network decided that Kenya breached the new contract. Another source told the outlet, “Bravo never accused Kenya of revenge porn. That was never what the investigation was about. It was about determining if Kenya’s actions involving sexually explicit images violated the code of conduct — and they did. She can point fingers all she wants, but she has nobody to blame but herself.”

Kenya has the last word

After the official word of her firing had circulated, Kenya posted a statement and tagged herself in “Peace of mind” just for good measure. Kenya noted, “Thank you for all the support #teamtwirl. My heart is full, and my conscience is clear. So many false claims hiding behind anonymous sources. All this conversation and no facts are being reported. If a claim or source was valid, would they need to hide?”

Kenya additionally shared, “My life is blessed. My daughter and I will continue to thrive in a non toxic environment where we feel appreciated and most importantly, protected. ***The rumors and narrative about me randomly showing nudes or revenge p is 1000% untrue. I have proof and will share soon.”

Fans of the Real Housewives of Atlanta will be waiting on bated breath for the proof, but until then, it looks like this is the last we will see of Ms. Kenya Moore. For now, the network has decided to continue filming but hasn’t said if they will include the few early episodes of Kenya.
