Kenya Moore will not be returning to the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” for Season 16 after displaying posters of one of the show’s newcomers allegedly performing oral sex, Page Six can confirm.
On Tuesday, a source told us that a potential return for the Bravolebrity — who has been on the show for over 11 seasons — has not been discussed.
However, a separate insider emphasizes that “the door is still open” for Moore, adding, “It was made clear that Kenya wasn’t fired and nothing has been decided in terms of future seasons on the network’s end or Kenya’s.”
A source also told TMZ that Moore, 53, might consider her legal options because she doesn’t feel the network had her best interest at heart. They also claimed that Moore agreed with producers about taking a break from the show.
Although reps for the former beauty queen weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment, she seemingly confirmed the news on her X (formerly known as Twitter).
“#TEAMTWIRLFOREVER You are the best fans anyone could ever ask for. and I love you all so very much. Always and forever,” she shared.
Earlier this month, Page Six reported that Moore was indefinitely suspended from “RHOA” after she displayed NFSW posters of Brittany Eady at the grand opening of her hair spa.
Sources told us that Bravo cameras were rolling at the event, though Eady wasn’t in attendance.
We’re told Moore decided to use the inappropriate pictures — which were “readily accessible” on the internet — after Eady allegedly threatened the Miss USA winner, using the word “gun.”
However, sources close to production told Page Six, “At no time was Kenya ever threatened with a weapon, nor was there ever a weapon present during the course of production.”
The network also launched an investigation, though nothing came to light.
Hours after the news of her suspension, Moore took to Instagram to address fans but didn’t show remorse for her actions.
“I stay winning. It is in my blood. Success matriculates around me. So I accept that. God has given me that,” she said in a video. “You will be seeing me.”
She continued, “I’m not going anywhere despite all the stuff surrounding whatever it is people decided they wanna write.”
As for Eady, she took to social media to write, “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.”
“For the record, I’ve never once had possession of any weapons or threatened anyone ever. … I am hurt by the narrative that’s being displayed. Wrong is wrong.”
Following Moore’s beauty shop event, an audio of her allegedly calling Eady an “escort” who “charges $1400” for her services was leaked.
Despite the backlash, Moore received support from her former co-star Kandi Burruss, who claimed she shouldn’t have been ridiculed for “doing something crazy to somebody.”
“I don’t like the fact that they suspended Kenya,” the “Who Can I Run To?” singer said on the Yung Joc & The Streetz Morning Takeover radio show last week.
“I know a lot of people are like, ‘She shouldn’t have shown that,’ but this is ‘Housewives.’”
“How many times we done did something that you think somebody shouldn’t do? So, who made the rules?” Burruss continued. “Why y’all all of a sudden have such an issue with somebody doing something crazy to somebody?”
