NeNe Leakes Sets the Record Straight About Rumored Beef with Kenya Moore

NeNe Leakes is sick of the assumptions made about her posts on Instagram and she’s doing something she doesn’t normally do by clearing up the confusion.  “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star jumped on her Instagram Story Monday night to set the record straight about her rumored feud with Kenya Moore.

Leakes explained that the chatter about the women’s supposed rift had erupted when she had a couples dinner with most of the cast of RHOA. However, Moore and her husband Marc Daly were not present.

Fans were fired up over the apparent diss, lashing out at Leakes with one person even claiming the OG housewife “hates” the mother to be.

Then, when Leakes posted a photo about some street code advice, more talk emerged that she could have been throwing shade at Moore’s issues with securing her role on RHOA’s next season.

“Street code 101: never bite the hand that feeds you,” it read.

“I really have no freaking clue where you guys are getting anything with Kenya and I from,” Leakes says in IG Live July 30. “Kenya and I hadn’t had an issue in, gosh, I don’t even know how long. A couple of years? I guess? We haven’t had an issue and it’s so funny how some of the people are saying things like, ‘NeNe didn’t invite Kenya to a dinner’ and all that.”

She added that the cast is in the middle of shooting season 11 and she has no say in any of the ladies’ contract decisions.

While Moore and Leakes have traded shady barbs over the years, more recently, it seems the two have focused their sights on other ‘wives. During season 10, Moore had a beef with Leakes’ former pal and now-nemesis Kim Zolciak-Biermann. And Leakes failed to make any amends with the “Tardy for the Party” star too.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
