After several blogs reported Kenya Moore won’t be on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” next season, rumors have now swirled that Eva Marcille might be her replacement. While Moore was initially silent, the latest reports have caused her to respond.

Sources told the Jasmine Brand Friday that Marcille has officially been picked to replace Moore on RHOA. They also say her storyline for season 11 will revolve around her becoming a second-time mother with fiancé Michael Sterling. It’s also likely viewers will see her plan her wedding to the Atlanta-based attorney.

In an apparent reaction to the latest RHOA casting news, Moore tweeted June 1, “It never ceases to amaze me how low budget blogs post a story and it becomes facts echoed by other low budget blogs. Wow, the power in my name and money I make for all these ‘blogs’ … I should get a cut. 👸🏾😂❤ in other #fakenews I’m [the] first woman to have 15 babies 😂😂😂.”

This isn’t the first time Moore has acknowledged news of her getting fired. Last week, she posted on Instagram, “#FAKENEWS @bet @celebrity_insider_org @theinquisitr shame on you for constantly regurgitating the slanderous fake news from #radaronline. Fake Husband, Fake Pregnancy, Fake Boyfriends, Fake Storyline, Fired, Fake Divorce. At least be effing original with your hateful lies. I’m used to you all making up stories to get clicks off my name but LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE.”

In response to her latest retort, however, many fans took her side.

“Kenya I hope you are coming back!”

“I love you Kenya. Keep twirling on your haters. They have nothing to talk about.”

“I don’t care what they say. Still a fan.”

“You *are* the show.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
