“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” returned to Bravo for its 16th season earlier this year. Now, as the season is coming to a close, there are rumblings about what cast members may return. Kenya Moore recently opened up about her status with the network and whether fans can expect to see her rejoin the cast of RHOA for season 17.
Notably, Kenya Moore was intended to be a full-time cast member for the latest season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” However, her actions against Brit Eady led to the producers editing her out of most of the episodes she filmed. She was then absent for the rest of the season and not invited to the reunion.
Kenya Moore Reveals Her Future with ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’
Kenya Moore was recently on a live stream. It was then that a fan asked if she would be returning to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” for season 17. She said, “As of now, no. That could change. I keep hearing a lot of different things.”
Kenya Moore continued, “You know, we had been in talks, but as of this moment, it’s a no.” It’s essential to note that Kenya has taken full responsibility for her actions that led the network to cease filming with her for season 16. Andy Cohen even read her statement at the reunion.
According to her statement, “I’m disappointed to not be a part of the #RHOA 16 reunion taping today. Please know I take full accountability for my actions and deeply apologize to all those affected, including Brittney, the cast, crew, guests, and viewers. I look forward to seeing you all back on Bravo soon.”

Kenya first joined the show during its 5th season in 2012. Although often considered the villain on the show, she built up a loyal fan base, which is why many were disappointed by her limited screen time during season 16.
Sources Say Filming Will Begin Soon
TV Deets is also exclusively reporting that Kenya Moore will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” The outlet heard from insiders that most of the RHOA season 16 cast is returning. They also say filming will begin near the end of August.
The outlet also says that the decision isn’t due to Kenya’s antics during season 16. Instead, they report that it’s a result of the lawsuit from Brit Eady. An insider told TV Deets, “A lot of people [here at Bravo] really like Kenya, but the lawsuit is a complete mess. She won’t be on Season 17, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s back once all of this is done.”
The source continued, “I mean, take a look at the season. Kenya dominated a lot of the conversation, and that does not go unnoticed. She is still in touch with the women, but [executives] want to see how this lawsuit plays out before making any more big moves.”
