A few days after Kandi Burruss clapped back at a fan who doubted her “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Kenya Moore was pregnant, the singer made sure Moore proved her baby bump is, in fact, real.

During a viewing party for the TV premiere of her show, “Kandi Koated Nights” and Starz’ “Power,” on Sunday, July 1, Burruss put the camera on Moore, who was lounging in a chair and a plunging mustard-colored dress.

“I need you to stand up, sweetheart,” Burruss tells her pal, who asks her why she needs to get out of her seat, in an Instagram video.

“‘Cause I wanna get a good angle!” Burruss replies before Moore obliges her request. “Yasss for the belly! Yay!”

Moore has been plagued by rumors of faking her pregnancy since she revealed she and husband Marc Daly are expecting their first child together at the RHOA season 10 reunion this spring.

Even after Moore shared her first ultrasound appointment — including showing the monitor — folks remained unconvinced. A baby bump-debuting photo also couldn’t quell the rumors, either. And when she posted another belly-focused photo — this time with her bare bump showing — it seemed fans would finally give it a rest.

Still, speculation that Moore wasn’t actually pregnant persisted even when Burruss posed with her RHOA co-star with her hand on her belly at the airport. On Friday, June 29, Moore got her second peek at Baby Twirl, as she got another ultrasound with her Aunt Lori present.

So when Burruss provided the latest piece of evidence to blow up such rumors, fans began sounding off once more.

“Congratulations!!!!!! This was a long time coming and you have been Blessed.”

“Genuinely happy for her❤❤❤.”

“Ok we get [it], we believe her. She’s pregnant 🙄🙄.”

“You see how she had to rock herself up out that low chair…that’s real!”

“That’s ⛽ stop playing @kandi lol.”

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.
