Kenya Moore suspended from ‘Real Housewives’ over ‘revenge porn’ allegations

TheoJune 16, 2024

Kenya Moore has been suspended indefinitely from Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta following allegations of “revenge porn.”

The Miss USA 1993 pageant is on hiatus after a dispute involving new cast member Brittany “Brit” Eady, a source familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly told USA TODAY. The Atlanta version of the network’s popular franchise recently reshuffled its cast with newcomers and former show stars after criticism from fans.

The network, which is currently filming the show’s 16th season, announced last month that returning cast members Moore, Porsha Williams, Shamea Morton Mwangi and Drew Sidora would join newbies Eady, Angela Oakley and Kelli Ferrell as full-time peach keepers, while former “RHOA” personality Cynthia Bailey joined as an official girlfriend of the group.

According to People and Entertainment Tonight, Moore was suspended for posting photos of insurance magnate Eady allegedly engaging in a sexual act at the recent opening of the Kenya Moore Hair Spa in Atlanta. It is currently unclear if Moore will return to the cast.

In an X-post earlier this month, Moore addressed the revenge allegations against her and Eady.

“I would never engage in revenge porn, I have never distributed anyone’s private images or footage, nor have I requested images from others to threaten or blackmail,” Moore said on the platform on June 8, adding a fire emoji. “I have always been vindicated. I can’t talk about STORY even when people are spreading fake news #sweet16”

The Bravo show has no shortage of storylines in its quest to return to fame.

Moore, who has been busy building her hair care empire, and Sidora, who is going through a divorce from her husband Ralph Pittman, are the only returning cast members from the final season. Williams is also separating from her husband Simon Guabodia, as the TV personality filed for divorce shortly after announcing her return to the franchise. Bailey has also since divorced her ex-husband, sports commentator Mike Hill, since cameras last followed the ups and downs of her life.

Eady isn’t the only cast member stirring up trouble in Atlanta. Oakley is married to NBA legend Charles Oakley, while Eady, who is successful in the insurance industry, is joined by his best friend and restaurant owner Kelli Ferrell, of Nana’s Chicken-N-Waffles fame.
