The drama in Atlanta is far from over, with former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' (RHOA) star Kenya Moore addressing her recent fallout with the franchise in a revealing YouTube video. Moore doesn't hold back as she discusses her suspension, disinvitation from the reunion, and perceived double standards within the Bravo universe.
This all comes after reports surfaced that Kenya was let go from the show for allegedly sharing an explicit image of her co-star, Brittany Eady.
Kenya Moore Breaks Her Silence After 'RHOA' Reunion Snub
In a confessional-style clip on her YouTube channel titled Moore Confessionals, Kenya Moore revealed that she was uninvited from the upcoming ‘RHOA’ reunion, something she says didn’t surprise her. But what really got her talking was the alleged double standard she feels in the Bravo universe.
“Will I attend the reunion? I haven’t been invited to the reunion. In fact, I was invited and then disinvited a few months ago," Moore says in the video. "The disrespect is insane. You know, from me being someone who has always loved ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ and always wanted to see them win, to being shut out.”
The Incident: Exposing NSFW Photos
Back in November 2024, during an emotional appearance on ‘Tamron Hall,’ Moore opened up about the moment that got her removed from the show. The former RHOA star admitted that she went too far after exposing NSFW photos of new cast member, Brittany Eady. The photos were exposed while Bravo cameras were rolling during the grand opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa. The explicit images allegedly showed Eady engaging in a sexual act with an unidentified man.

Kenya Moore Opens Up for The First Time About Her RHOA Suspension
“If I could do it all over again, I believe the photos were very distasteful, and I elevated the situation. I’ve elevated situations before, and I’ve taken full accountability for the things that I’ve done,” she said.
Despite this, Kenya also revealed she acted out of fear after allegedly being threatened by Eady, claiming the word “gun” was used during an earlier alleged altercation. She claims that the threat viewers heard Eady make in episode five was not the first she had made against Moore. “I keep a pistol for b***hes like you,” Moore claims Eady said.
However, according to Kenya, the alleged remark was edited out of the show. She also says that these comments were removed from the final edit and that the network believed Eady without a thorough investigation. The former Miss USA also believes that her race plays a part.
Since then, however, sources close to production disputed Kenya’s claims, saying no weapon was ever mentioned or present. Bravo has not publicly responded to Kenya Moore’s recent allegations.

Claims of Double Standards
Kenya Moore came with receipts as she called out what she sees as hypocrisy among the Housewives. According to Moore, other cast members have engaged in questionable behavior without facing major consequences, such as being axed from the show. She also noted that they didn’t lose their confessionals, or even be removed from the show’s iconic intro.
The reality TV star also feels there is a double standard at play. “You got girls taking glasses upside the head - with real glasses - on Jersey, you’ve had people talking about [pornography] on Jersey. You’ve had people exposing, you know, real life revenge porn case on Vanderpump Rules. They’re working. They haven’t been made to look like a scumbag or a villain,” Moore explained.
She also noted that the photos she shared were available online before she exposed them at her hair salon. She also claims she spoke to a lawyer before pulling the stunt.
Did Kenya Moore report Brit Eady's threats to the producers?
Many Real Housewives fans have questioned why Kenya Moore chose to retaliate at her event instead of going to the producers after she was threatened by newbie Brit Eady, but in her video, Kenya Moore revealed that she did approach the producers about the threats against her.
The RHOA veteran also claimed that Brit Eady had threatened Kenya Moore an additional time that had been edited out of the show. Although Brit Eady threatening Kenya Moore with "whips and pistols" had been shown on RHOA, Kenya alleges that there was an additional threat made that wasn't shown. According to the peach holder, the newcomer to the series said that she "keep[s] a pistol for b----es like you," which was edited out of the show.

"I immediately went to the showrunner, the executive producer, and I said, 'What is going on? Why is she talking about a gun and a pistol? What is happening?'" Kenya Moore recalled during her video and said that she also told the story to the production team later the same day along with telling the producers immediately after hearing the thread. "I've been on this show for 12 seasons, I've never once had anyone threaten me with a pistol. I've not ever had anyone allude to unaliving me, so I took it seriously," Kenya Moore said in her video and went on to say that had it been another cast member who she was already familiar with and "had something to lose," she might not have reacted the way she did.
Moore's Defense
Meanwhile, while Kenya Moore has been widely accused by her detractors of the the distribution of nonconsensual sexual images, known colloquially as revenge porn, she said in her video that she had spoken to an attorney about what she did to Brit Eady. "The photos that were revealed are not considered revenge porn," Kenya Moore stated in her YouTube video.
She went on to say that she is not familiar with Brit Eady or any of her former intimate partners and that she approached an attorney to discuss whether or not what she did broke any federal or Georgia laws.
"I shared photos that were readily available online, I did not commit revenge porn. I shared a publicly available photo that was accessible online," Kenya Moore asserted in her video and compared it to Kim Kardashian and Ray J's sex tape.
The Reunion Seating Chart Debate
Is there a rhyme or reason for the seating arrangements on Real Housewives reunions? If there is, then Kenya Moore thinks she deserves a better seat. The Real Housewives of Atlanta legend recently appeared on former RHOA producer Carlos King’s podcast. During their interview, she sounded off against the current production team.
According to Kenya, she felt disrespected not having the first seat, despite twirling her way through so many seasons and creating so many iconic moments for the show.
“Don’t tell me it’s about story. It’s not about story. It’s about who are the leads of the show. NeNe [Leakes] did not have story for three seasons. They would never move NeNe’s seat,” Kenya proclaimed. “That is a fact. I felt so disrespected knowing what I have put into this franchise.
Kenya Moore is finally speaking out - and she’s not holding back. “It was wrong,” Kenya Moore, 54, admitted. “I should not have done it at my salon I worked so hard for. I am very sorry that I shared the photos because it wasn’t right.
Financial Claims
Beyond the controversy, Moore used her video to address rumors about her Bravo paycheck and personal wealth.
“I think it’s decent to say that I make more than the girls on the show now,” she said. “I don’t talk about money when it comes to my own money. I see a lot of crazy reports saying my net worth is $800,000. My house is worth $3 million. How is my net worth $800,000? I own that much in cars. Just stop!
“The disrespect is insane,” she said. She closed with a heavy-hearted prediction: “I don’t anticipate an invitation.
