Kandi Burruss is not holding back in defending her longtime friend and Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) co-star, Kenya Moore.
Following the recent suspension and eventual firing of Moore from RHOA’s Season 16 for allegedly sharing explicit images of new cast member Brittany Eady, Burruss took to the Virtual Reali-Tea
podcast to voice her support. The show is wild, right? We’ve had some crazy things happen on our show
, said Burruss, speaking on her departure from the series this year after 14 seasons.
Burruss Responds to Critics
In addressing criticism from fans asking how she could support Moore, Burruss emphasized, At the end of the day, she didn’t make up anything about somebody
. However, she acknowledged that Kenya Moore might not have made the nicest move by unveiling receipts offline.
The shockwaves were felt at Moore’s salon grand opening earlier this month where Bravo rookie Brittany Eady was shown in explicit images. Despite no official threat from Eady being confirmed, a production source clarified that there was no weapon involved at any point.
Moore’s Statement on Social Media
After intense media coverage, Moore took to Instagram to defend herself. She urged fans to believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. The truth always comes to light
. Additionally, she firmly stated that she would never engage in revenge porn and has never distributed private images or footage of anyone
.
Burruss Continues Support on Various Platforms
Burruss reiterated her backing on multiple platforms. During an interview on the Yung Joc & The Streetz Morning Takeover radio show, she mentioned that she disliked Moore being barred from RHOA. I hate I’m not there to support her
, echoed Burruss’s sentiments while promoting her Hydroxycut partnership.
The Wide-Reaching Impact on RHOA
Burruss further elaborated that reality TV stars should be prepared for what comes their way when they participate in conflict. The ladies on our show and on different shows on reality TV… you do not get to determine how strong the shade or whatever it is that’s coming back at you
, she declared.
However, according to insiders and those close to production, there are mixed reactions regarding Kenya Moore’s actions and its fallout on RHOA’s dynamics and future viewership.
Shereé Whitfield noted that the absence of a vibrant personality like Kenya Moore significantly impacts the show’s rhythm and appeal.
