Despite Kenya Moore’s denial that she’s not been fired by Bravo, reports say she won’t appear on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” next season.

Moore, who recently went on record to bash rumors of faking her pregnancy and an impending divorce, was not offered a letter to return to RHOA, according to a Wednesday, May 24 report from Straight from the A. The local gossip site reported the former Miss USA was not in attendance at a mandatory meeting for the ‘wives. When folks inquired about her absence, it was reportedly confirmed she won’t be in season 11.

Sources tell the website Moore may be relegated to being a friend of the show, however, Bravo won’t confirm the cast line up until later in the summer, according to AJC Radio & TV Talk.

Reportedly, just four cast members are scheduled to be back: NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams.

That Moore isn’t joining a new season shouldn’t come as a total shock. Head honchos at Bravo were none too pleased when the star eloped with Marc Daly and he refused to show up on the show until the second half of the season. Additionally, Moore was noticeably absent from the regularly scheduled trip overseas, which was in Spain this season.

Still, RHOA executive producer Andy Cohen told “The Breakfast Club” Friday that Moore had no issues getting along with the other ‘wives.

“Kenya is good with the group,” he said.

As Moore herself has yet to say anything else regarding rumors about her return, Twitter users have been chatting.

“Kenya Moore is finally off rhoa thank the lord, hallelujah.”

“Is @KenyaMoore really fired from #RHOA? Because if she is I ain’t watching no’mo!”

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.
