Kenya Moore has been suspended indefinitely from Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” following “revenge porn” allegations.
The 1993 Miss USA has been suspended by the network due to an altercation with new cast member Brittany “Britt” Eadie, a source familiar with the matter but not authorized to speak publicly told USA Today. The network’s hit Atlanta version of the series recently shuffled its cast with newcomers and former show stars following criticism from fans.
The network, which is currently filming the show’s 16th season, announced last month that returning cast members Moore, Porsha Williams, Shameea Morton Mwangi and Drew Sidora will become full-time peach holders along with newcomers Edie, Angela Oakley and Kelly Ferrell, while former “RHOA” personality Cynthia Bailey will become official friend of the group.

According to People and Entertainment Tonight, Moore was suspended after publishing photos that allegedly showed insurance mogul Edie engaging in a sexual act at the recent grand opening of Kenya Moore Hair Spa in Atlanta. It is not clear at this time whether Moore will return to the cast.

In an X post earlier this month, Moore addressed the vendetta claims surrounding her and Edie.
“I have never engaged in revenge porn, distributed private images or footage of anyone, or solicited images belonging to others to use for blackmail or extortion,” Moore said on the platform on June 8, adding a fire emoji. “I have always been exonerated. Despite those spreading fake news, I cannot speak to the story. #sweet16.”

The cast of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” also includes Porsha Williams, a famous Atlanta restaurateur and wife of NBA legend Charles Oakley.
The Bravo show has no shortage of storylines as it strives for a return to glory.
Moore, who is busy building her hair-care empire, and Sidra, who is in the process of divorcing her husband, Ralph Pittman, are the only cast members returning from the previous season. Williams is also splitting from her husband, Simon Guavodia; the TV personality filed for divorce shortly after announcing his return to the series. Bailey has also divorced her ex-husband, sports commentator Mike Hill, since cameras last followed the ins and out of her life.
Edie isn’t the only cast member shaking up the Atlanta utopia: Oakley, who is married to NBA legend Charles Oakley and is a successful insurance businessman, is joined by her best friend and restaurateur, Kelly Ferrell of famed Nana’s Chicken and Waffles.
