Reality TV star Kenya Moore has left the Real Housewives of Atlanta, according to multiple reports.
Moore was serving a suspension due to an incident on set in which she leaked some inappropriate photos of new cast member Brittany Eady.
Moore was set to return to the show, but not anymore. There is talk that some Bravo executives wanted her gone, while others thought that she could ride out the controversy.
As a result, both sides have evidently agreed to part ways. News reports say Moore may file a lawsuit “because she’s not happy with how this whole mess unfolded.”
There is no word yet with what plans Moore has in store or whether she wants to continue her reality TV career elsewhere.

Being in extra in a TV series or movie takes patience, ability to listen and work on short notice. That’s just a few of many things you need to keep in mind if you want to work on set.
In this article, I’ll tell you everything you want to know about how to become a movie extra in Atlanta.
Atlanta is #1 when it comes to movie and TV production. There are a lot of ways to get money in Atlanta, like being a movie or TV extra and yes, even becoming an actor.
This article is going to show you what you need to do to become movie or TV extra. I’ve been doing extras work on and off for the past 10 years, including on the sets of some top BET shows as well as Tyler Perry movies.How To Become A Movie And TV Extra In Atlanta
If you want to work as an extra in movies and TV, you need to find out what’s filming. Metro Atlanta has become a hub for movie and TV shows, especially with film mogul Tyler Perry Studios back in action.Being an extra is quite different from being an actor. An actor is a trained professional, while an extra is a contract worker hired on the spot. Here’s how to become an actor.How Much Do Movie Extras Get Paid?
The amount that movie extras get paid largely depend on the project. Most film companies pay an hourly rate to film between eight and 12 hours a day.The typical pay for an extra in Atlanta is around $60 for eight hours of work, but it could be as high as $100 or $200, depending on what they ask you to do. (Sometimes, meals are included).1. Network In The Film Community
You need to be able to find movies and TV shows that are filming throughout the city. One of the best resources for that is to begin networking in the local film community.You should sign up for things like workshops and look in on informational panels having to do with films. Atlanta has a number of organizations that nurture talent in front and behind the camera, including extras.why not try to attend a yearly film festival this year? Atlanta has several good ones you can use to learn more about the industry. They include:- Atlanta Film Festival
- Jewish Film Festival
- Bronze Lens Festival
2. Find Top Casting Companies In Atlanta
After you feel that you’ve learned some of the ups and downs about the industry (and you still want to be an extra) it’s time to find some jobs.Casting calls can be found a variety of places. Sometimes, the movie studio will post about casting calls on its websites. Mainly, they can be found in trade magazines and websites like Backstage.com.One great place to find casting calls is on the websites of casting companies. Here are some of the top casting companies that hire for Atlanta movie and TV productions.On the websites of the casting call companies you will be able to register and submit your information. In some cases, they may ask for a head shot or want you to list relevant experience if the part calls for some specificity or a certain skill.After you’ve applied for some extras roles, a waiting game begins. If you get a call, then they may ask you to show up to a specific location to be fitted or to do other preparations.If you don’t receive a call to come to filming, you may try another option…3. Attend Open Casting Calls
You can also attend “open” casting calls, which are those that don’t necessarily have specific needs. Some movies and TV shows just need large amounts of people or a group of people to make a scene look busy.One example of this is the airplane scene in Flight, which Denzel Washington played lead actor in. I was an “airline passenger” in the movie, which was partially filmed at Screen Gem Studios in Atlanta.Here’s the scene, which simulated a plane crash. As you can imagine, the people had to scream and make a fuss.There’s rules to everything, of course, and when it comes to being an extra, you’ve got to adhere to some common restrictions if you want to succeed.4. Be Professional
When you’re on the set, you’re going to have to behave yourself if you want to remain an extra. That means no asking the stars for a selfie.Of course you want to be human, but if you’re starstruck, it may be hard for you to restrain yourself and keep your composure. When it comes to being an extra, the production assistant will likely tell you what is and isn’t allowed on set. Try to obey. In most cases, the rules look something like this:- No picture-taking
- No talking on set
- No gum chewing or eating
- No mingling with the talent
So many people who have thought they would use being an extra to get into acting have blew it by not being able to keep cool while filming. Don’t be “that guy” or “that girl.”5. Beware Of Scams
Unfortunately, when it comes to entertainment, there are always some literally bad actors that try to take advantage of people looking to be on the big and small screen.Casting calls are rife with scammers looking to exploit inexperienced people. Don’t fall for it. Here are some casting call scams you need to avoid:Casting Calls Asking For Payment
No legit casting call company will ask you to pay them to be in a movie or TV show. The way it works is that they pay you. It’s a scam.
Vague ‘Modeling’ Jobs
If a casting call or audition reveals very little information other than it’s “looking for an adult for modeling gig” or something like that, it’s super suspicious and shouldn’t be trusted.
Real modeling jobs will state the employer, address and location of the casting call and relevant details such as the time and pay. Always research modeling jobs before you submit your information or go to them.
Inappropriate Requests
Similar to vague modeling jobs, beware of casting calls that ask for inappropriate requests that weren’t specifically mentioned in the casting call.
If the casting director asks you to do something that involves nudity or a bedroom scene and it wasn’t revealed in the casting call, you might want to get out of there.

Last Words
If you want to appear in a big budget film or TV show, it’s easier than ever today, especially in a city like Atlanta, Georgia.
Being a movie or TV extra is a great way to earn extra money, but it’s not for everybody. In many cases, you may have to be on your feet for long periods of time.Also, many casting calls may reschedule at the last minute or require you to wait in long lines before filming begins. On the other hand, it’s pretty cool when you see yourself on screen. Also, you can make some great friends in the business.

Here’s what Essence Wallace, who worked at Tyler Perry Studios, says about getting a job with the movie mogul.
As far as the process for being hired at TPS — or any job in film and television production for that matter — it’s all about WHO you know. Networking isn’t my strength, per se — BUT I learned to master the art of building relationships. One great relationship will KEEP you working in this industry. It starts by getting out and surrounding yourself with people that are working — like being willing to work for free on independent projects and going to workshops or seminars to develop your craft.As far as Perry is concerned, he puts a lot of importance on make hiring decisions that reflect the community, especially given the lack of representation in the movie business.
This is what he told CBS News:
“I know for a fact that when I drive in through these gates, onto this 330 acres and see these 12 sound stages, and see the highway sign that says ‘Tyler Perry Studios’ as you’re making to the exit in here, as I come in here and I see these hundreds of people working, these black and brown – I’ve been on sets where I’ve been the only black face on, only black face, as recently as 2019 going, ‘Where are the black people in this movie?’ Back behind the camera? So, when I come to work here and every black person that comes to work here they go, ‘Oh my God, it’s heaven. Here we are. We’re represented.’ Where everybody’s represented. LGBTQ’s represented. Black, white, gay, straight, whatever. We’re all represented, working hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm.
Tyler Perry also gives job opportunities to students. Here’s how to get an internship with Tyler Perry Studios.
Wallace, who is now with The Chosen Productions, says the key to getting hired to work on a Tyler Perry Studios production is to immerse yourself in the Atlanta film community, particularly the Tyler Perry Studios environment.
“I’ve rarely seen anyone get hired from submitting a resume online and having a formal interview – not that it doesn’t ever happen. It’s just simply not the norm for someone pursuing a career in film and TV,” she says.
“You have to set your goals, decide the types of projects you want to work on, and then find opportunities to engage with other like minded individuals,” she tells AtlantaFi.com. “I know this is not the answer most people are looking for, but I’ve helped more people get jobs just by helping them connect with the right person vs. focusing on their education and background.”
By the way, Wallace says The Chosen Productions is also accepting resumes for all positions at thechosenproductions2014@
gmail.com for upcoming television shows, films, and documentaries.With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.There are so many movies filmed in Atlanta these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all.

A new mixed-use development, Lulah Hills, is set to rise in some of the most prime real estate in DeKalb County. To make way for the project, North DeKalb Mall, is set to be demolished on June 26, 2024.
Real estate developer Edens, along with Decide DeKalb and elected DeKalb County officials, have scheduled a press conference on June 26 to kick off the demolition of North DeKalb Mall.
What Is Lulah Hills?
Lulah Hills is a 73-acre mixed-use destination that will feature 320,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, 1,700 multi-family units, 100 townhomes, a 150-room hotel, and a trail connecting to Emory University. This project is being spearheaded by Edens, in collaboration with Decide DeKalb and DeKalb County officials.
The Demise of North DeKalb Mall
North DeKalb Mall, a major shopping destination for two decades after its opening in 1965, is now largely vacant, with only a Marshalls clothing retailer and an AMC movie theater remaining. Located about three miles northeast of downtown Decatur, the mall has been the subject of redevelopment talks for years as its retail spaces have emptied and its corridors have grown darker.
The Future of the Site
Edens plans to transform the North DeKalb Mall property into a diversified town center called Lulah Hills. Preliminary renderings suggest that this mixed-use lifestyle complex could resemble Halcyon or Avalon in Atlanta’s northern suburbs.
Completion Timeline
The first phases of Lulah Hills are expected to be completed by 2025.

Nature-Inspired Tones
Neutral tones can help highlight the architectural features of a home. Instead of the color of the walls dominating the space, the attention can be drawn to the home’s design elements, such as moldings, fireplaces, or unique layouts
With a neutral backdrop, homeowners can easily change their decor without needing to repaint or make significant changes. This flexibility allows for seasonal updates and personal touches without a major renovation.
Darker Shades
With tones like Cracked Pepper, real estate has officially entered a “dark” era as well. Darker walls can serve as an excellent backdrop for showcasing artwork and decorative pieces. The deep hues can make colors pop and draw attention to the details of the decor.
Dark colors can add depth to a room, making it feel more dimensional and layered. This effect can be particularly beneficial in larger spaces, where it helps to create a more engaging and dynamic environment.
Final Word
While it can be tempting to follow current color trends, it’s important to consider how long you plan to keep the color. Timeless colors tend to remain appealing over the long term, while trendy colors may quickly feel outdated.
The quality of the paint can affect the final appearance and longevity of the color. Higher-quality paints often provide better coverage, durability, and resistance to fading.
Overall, the importance of picking the right color for your exterior and interior walls lies in the impact it has on aesthetics, mood, functionality, and property value.
