“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” fans believe there’s strife between NeNe Leakes and Kenya Moore after the OG RHOA star didn’t invite the mom-to-be to her recent couples dinner.

Leakes held a “couples night” event at Braselton, Ga.’s Chateau Elan Winery and Resort and while RHOA co-stars Kandi Burruss, Porsha Williams, Cynthia Bailey, Eva Marcille and  Marlo Hampton were present with their boos, Moore and her husband were noticeably absent.

And fans quickly began speculating as to why that was the case.

“So NeNe hates Kenya again I see .. 😫 she is such a bipolar old hag.”

“@hawa_kamer some of you love drama so much it’s insane. What is nene supposed to do if Kenya is no longer on the show?”

“Damn. Kenya should be there too! Bravo or whoever f—ing up.”

“Hopefully Kenya is taking the pic. And? Who is [the] guy with Cynt?”

Meanwhile, at least one fan is over the claims that Moore is getting hated on.

“I’m so sick of some of y’all talking about somebody hating on Kenya, hell it ain’t they fault she’s not there! If you gone make it an issue make it with the producers and execs at Bravo, because as we all know and it has been confirmed all these ladies wanted her to come back! Y’all love to find some s— and get it started making ABSOLUTELY nothing out of something. NEXT! 🙄”

While an RHOA fan account questioned where fans were “getting this from,” the page later shared some tea from a producer who explained there were some tensions between Leakes and Moore after all.

“Basically Kenya doesn’t feel that  NeNe has been a good friend off camera. Many of us suspect that it’s due to that tea Kenya spilled about Marlo trying to blackmail NeNe at the reunion. NeNe felt that Kenya was only bringing it up to try and effect [sic] her friendship with Marlo,” the mystery producer spilled.

“Most of the drama so far has mainly centered around the new women and two veterans,” they added, which could include testing newbies Shamari DeVoe and TechSquare Labs director Tanya Sam.

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.
