Kenya Moore’s Assistant Brutally Attacked by ‘RHOA’ Star Apollo Nida?

Apparently Kenya Moore and Phaedra are still beefing over that stupid workout video. Now Kenya’s assistant may have gotten caught in the crosshairs as Phaedra’s husband Apollo Nida allegedly attacked him on set.

Maybe this is just a publicity stunt or maybe all these people are just as crazy as they appear to be on TV. Either way, Kenya’s assistant, Brandon DeShezar, is getting a legal team ready to battle it out with Apollo.

According to DeShazer, the attack happened because Apollo feels like he and Kenya ripped off Phaedra’s “Donkey Booty” idea to create “Stallion Booty” and he still hasn’t managed to get over it.

Other witnesses claim Apollo randomly flew into a rage and “violently attacked” DeShezar while the show was filming for the upcoming season. Needless to say, the cameras kept rolling and there is a chance that the entire brawl may be aired – which would certainly feed into the publicity stunt theory.

Anyway, Apollo was so determined to beat DeShezar to a pulp that it took seven male crew members to finally rip the men apart.

Of course, there are two sides to every story and Apollo insists that he didn’t attack Kenya’s assistant. Instead, he claims that he was the one on the defense.

According to Phaedra’s husband, there was a fight on set and when he tried to break up the brawl he got caught in the midst of it and things simply got out of hand.

Bravo has failed to make a public statement about the situation. Moore was reached by TheYBF and merely stated, “I can’t comment on it.”

Maybe the stars of the show are making sure they don’t spoil the new episode?

We’re definitely sensing a desperation to boost ratings here.

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
