In a surprising twist for fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kenya Moore will not be returning for the 16th season. Despite initial speculation about her future with the franchise, it has been confirmed that Moore will not appear in upcoming episodes set to air in 2025.
According to sources, the decision stemmed from Moore’s alleged involvement in a controversy during her Hair Spa’s grand opening earlier this month. Allegations surfaced claiming that Moore unveiled explicit images of new cast member Brittany Eady, showing her performing an intimate act on an unnamed male. This event had far-reaching consequences, leading Bravo to suspend Moore indefinitely from the series.
Moore Denies Allegations Amidst Her Suspension
Following the announcement, Moore addressed these serious accusations through her social media platforms. In her defense, she took to X, stating,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,
and emphasized,I have always been vindicated.
The quote highlights her strong denial of engaging in any form of revenge porn or wrongdoing related to the images.
What Lies Ahead for The Real Housewives
The fallout from this incident not only sees Moore’s departure but also raises questions about how the dynamics within the show will shift. ET reports,Despite Eady’s involvement in the drama, she will join the rest of the cast to continue filming season 16 of RHOA,
highlighting that neither Eady nor Bravo have provided clear updates regarding whether Moore might return later.
A Tumultuous Time for Moore
This news comes amidst other personal challenges for Moore. Recently, she and her ex-husband Marc Daly finalized their drawn-out divorce. Court documents show that a judge granted primary custody of their daughter Brooklyn to Moore while both parents share joint legal custody. Additionally, Daly is to contribute $2,000 monthly towards child support and another $1,000 monthly for Brooklyn’s college savings.
The reality star’s recent troubles reflect significant changes in both her personal and public life. During this period, support from notable individuals such as Porsha Williams and Cynthia Bailey — who attended her Hair Spa launch — has been crucial. While fans remain hopeful for Moore’s return at some point, it’s uncertain what lies ahead for her within the RHOA franchise.
