Early this Summer, it was revealed that Kenya Moore would not be returning to the Real Housewives of Atlanta following a suspension from the network.

Kenya Moore was let go amid an investigation after filming a scene for season 16 where she allegedly displayed posters of RHOA newcomer Brittany Eady performing sexual acts.
And now Kenya Moore is speaking out for the first time since news of the incident came out. During an appearance on Tamron Hall, Kenya addressed her exit taking accountability saying, “Hindsight is always fifty, fifty.”
She continued, “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.“
Kenya said she was sorry and owned the fact that she didn’t need to take it that far adding, “But when I felt threatened, I’ve never had a child in a situation like this before. So, that’s why it escalated to the point where I was protecting not only myself, but my child.”

While she is no longer filming the season with her fellow housewives, Kenya confirmed that she was “still under contract” and remains “an employee of the network for now.”
Kenya does say she has gotten tons of support with one being boss Andy Cohen, “He has called, he has checked on me, he has given me advice. And I feel like he’s a really good friend and I just appreciate the support. That was my family for 12 years. I love them and I feel like they love me, it was just a really unfortunate situation.”
Kenya’s former co-star Sheree Whitfield recently spoke out saying that the show was “sinking” without Kenya explaining, “As an OG, it’s kind of hard to sit back and watch the show kind of slowly sink the way it is, so I’m not happy. I don’t like it.”

We know what Kenya is capable of. Her stint on Celebrity Apprentice where she stole Vivica's phone and then impersonated her on Twitter saying "This menopause sucks" was iconic …not to mention just a tad illegal.

Well nice to see she finally told truth after lying publicly for so long . Unreal . Too bad she’s only one so far fired for being low down and dirty
I don't watch that show but Kenya Moore is an icon. Even I know who she is. And she's stunning. Bring her back.
I remember her turning Arsenio into a blubbering school boy.

you take full responsibility for what you did but then say you did it to protect your child? Makes no sense.
What did her kid have to do with it? Just curious.
that's what we all want to know from this interview. It's giving excuses.
I think she initially claimed (box of salt cuz I think some half-assed Bravo tainted ‘investigation’ could find no evidence) that Brittany (the Ho in question) threatened her with gun violence iirc. HIQ (ho in question) denied ever threatening Kenya at all, let alone with a gun cuz she doesn’t even own one. So, who knows if it even happened BUT if it did, Kenya was extrapolating that threat to that of the safety and welfare of her child which ok, but not sure how displaying naked pics of HIQ fits into the equation? ?
?
To me if something threatened me with GV, I def wouldn't counter the situation with anything in case she was serious, and 2nd that would be an automatic firing. so someone is reaching with the truth.
Exactly. I can’t follow her logic in that IF there was such a threat (a credible one and not just sh*t talking) WHY would you further antagonize that person knowing you have a child to protect? Idgi. The only thing I can think of (and this is a HUGE stretch) is that she wanted to show Brittany she wasn’t afraid of her and fully intended to expose her, BUT then how can you claim you’re protecting your child?! ? So, it was probably a case of tit for tat (literally lol) sniping back and forth, and either both or just Kenya took it too far. ?
It doesn’t fit and she lied multiple times about being so nasty to do it
There’s no innocent party here. ?
We all know Kenya is FOS (and a bad actress), but Bravo has to know that the show needs her. So if they're smart, they will drop this "revenge porn" catch phrase of the day BS and get back to trying to salvage this show, because it's highly unlikely that Phaedra and Po'Shit can carry the show.
I agree. They have to have a balance to the foolery and, love her or hate her, Kenya suffers no fools…? https://media3.giphy.com/media/lXuMvSXpDUn9C/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
