Veteran Atlanta reality star Kenya Moore has been suspended from filming Real Housewives of Atlanta following allegations that she displayed pornographic photographs of new cast member Brittany Eady at her hair salon opening party earlier this month, according to multiple media reports.
The alleged incident was reportedly captured by Bravo cameras. Eady has been accused of making threats toward Moore before the hair salon opening, allegedly using the word “gun.”
According to news outlets, Bravo is still reviewing video of the incident and more consequences for Moore and the brand may be forthcoming.
Bravo was filming the event for the 16th season of the long-running reality show, which is expected to air in 2025.
Moore responded to the reports with a statement on social media, saying, “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. I have always been vindicated. I can’t talk about STORY even with people planting fake news.”
For her part, Eady took to social media as well, telling fans on her Instagram Story that, “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’ve never been to jail, in [a] fight, or even had as much as a speeding ticket,” Eady continued. “That’s not my character. I am hurt by the narrative that’s being displayed. Wrong is wrong.
Some people may be confused about what even is revenge porn, so let’s break it down for you.
What Is Revenge Porn?
Revenge porn is the distribution of sexually explicit images or videos of individuals without their consent, often by an ex-partner, with the intent to harm, humiliate, or blackmail the subject. This malicious act is typically motivated by a desire for revenge following the end of a personal relationship.
In many jurisdictions, revenge porn is considered a serious crime and can lead to legal consequences for the perpetrator. The laws and penalties vary by location, but they generally aim to protect the privacy and dignity of individuals against such violations.
Final Word
How this all shakes out is anyone’s guess. Moore joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in its fifth season, which premiered in 2012. As of 2024, she has been a cast member for approximately 12 years.
