Kenya Moore gets boot from Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 following explicit photo scandal

   

Kenya Moore's suspension from the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has been confirmed.

According to TMZ, the 53-year-old reality television star has been sidelined by Bravo following an incident with new co-star Brittany Eady.

Per the site, Kenya is weighing legal options after she previously responded to the suspension by declaring she was 'not going anywhere.'

It comes amid claims — which Moore has denied — that she shared sexually explicit photos of Eady while filming season 16.

Initially, Kenya and the production team had mutually agreed that she would be taking a break from the series with an option to return in the future.

The conflict between the two women began when Brittany allegedly threatened Kenya using the word 'gun' in a conversation during the initial days of filming.

Insiders told TMZ the claim against Brittany was investigated by the network, leading to unsubstantiated findings.

Sources also said there was never a gun present as cameras rolled.

Following the alleged threat, Kenya reportedly displayed NSFW posters of Eady at her hair spa grand opening while Brittany was not there. 

Ultimately, Kenya's behavior was found by Bravo to be in violation of its code of conduct.

People close to the situation revealed to TMZ that Kenya feels wronged and has named safety concerns as part of the discord between her and Bravo.

Co-stars Kandi Burruss and Porsha Williams have both come to the former pageant queen's defense.

Despite their support for Moore, she has been axed for the remainder of the season.

Shortly after the alleged incident made headlines, Kenya denied the claims on her Instagram Story.

'Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see,' she wrote. 'The truth always comes to light.'

And on the social media app X, Moore insisted that she 'would never engage in revenge porn.'

She also said she has 'never distributed private images or footage of anyone, nor solicited images owned by others to use or threaten or blackmail.'

Meanwhile, Eady also made a public statement online. 

'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,' she wrote on Instagram.

Moore has starred on the Real Housewives of Atlanta since its fifth season in 2012.
