Kenya is out at RHOA
Kenya Moore has been removed from The Real Housewives of Atlanta due to claims of bullying.
TMZ was the first to announce Moore is "not returning" for the show's upcoming 16th season, following her suspension from the series earlier this month.
The former Miss USA was suspended after allegedly displaying posters with sexual photographs of new housewife Brittany Eady at the launch of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa in Atlanta.
A Bravo insider told TMZ on Tuesday, June 25, that Moore and the network agreed to take a hiatus as the situation escalated. According to the insider, Moore is "weighing legal options" in response to being removed off the show.
Meanwhile, People reported that the cast was informed earlier today that Moore was leaving the show.
As news of Moore's departure emerged on social media, the reality personality, actor, and entrepreneur issued a brief statement on X (previously Twitter).
“#TEAMTWIRLFOREVER You are the best fans anyone could ever ask for. and I love you all so very much. Always and forever,” she posted at 8:10 p.m. ET.
Moore, 53, has been making headlines since the June 6 launch of her new spa. In leaked audio from the ceremony, she appeared to disagree with Eady and referred to the new peach-holder as a "escort."
“You a paid hoe. Brittany does escort,” Moore allegedly said. “There’s an IG that put her emails out on blast, she charges $1400 for an appointment. You not only a hoe, you a cheap whore.”
Several blogs reported. Eady attended the salon's opening but left early.
Eady later addressed the matter in his Instagram Story, writing: "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."
Days later, Moore was "suspended indefinitely" from the show. At the time, she issued a statement declaring, "I'm not going anywhere despite all the stuff that's surrounding whatever people decide they want to write."
Eady was recently accused of threatening Moore with a gun. On June 6, The Neighborhood Talk stated that Eady allegedly informed Moore during a dispute, "I have a gun for b-es like you."
