According to a source, Kenya, 53, will be suspended from The Real Housewives of Atlanta until Bravo completes an investigation into the reality TV star’s alleged revenge porn incident, Peoplereported.
But Kenya took to Instagram Live on Friday, June 14 and told her followers, “You will be seeing me. I’m not going anywhere despite all this stuff.”
While The Real Housewives of Atlanta was filming its sixteenth season on Thursday, June 6, Kenya showcased posters of Brittany Eady, a brand new Atlanta Housewife, performing oral sex at the grand opening of her new Kenya Moore Hair Spa in Atlanta, GA.
The man in the explicit images has yet to be reported, but the posters allegedly leaked online.
Brittany — who did not attend the spa event — admitted via Instagram Stories of Kenya’s stunt, “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,” according to the magazine.
The business woman and podcaster also cited Georgia law prohibiting the distribution of sexually explicit images without consent of the person depicted.
Kenya previously addressed the incident on June 8, writing on X, “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.”
The reality TV star added, “I have always been vindicated. I can’t talk about STORY even with people planting fake news #sweet16.”
Kenya added via Instagram Stories, “Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. The truth always comes to light,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Kenya’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star Drew Sidora, who actually attended Kenya’s grand opening, seemingly reacted to the scandal on X.
“I’m flabbergasted and floored,” Drew wrote.
An insider told People that Kenya created the posters after Brittany had allegedly verbally threatened the spa owner by using the word “gun.”
Another source close to production, however, claimed, “At no time was Kenya ever threatened with a weapon nor was there ever a weapon present during the course of production.”
And Brittany attempted to clarify what happened in her Instagram Stories posting earlier this month.
“For the record,” Brittany explained, “I’ve never once had possession of any weapons or threatened anyone ever. I’ve never been to jail, in fight, or even had as much as a speeding ticket. That’s not my character.”
“I am hurt by the narrative that’s being displayed. Wrong is wrong,” she included.
A representative for Bravo has yet to comment or set the record straight on Kenya’s alleged suspension.
Kenya had announced that she’d be returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta in April.
Kenya has been a cast member on the The Real Housewives of Atlanta since Season 5, which aired in 2012. She also competed on The Celebrity Apprentice’s seventh season in 2015.
