Kenya Moore Fans Think Andy Cohen Just Shaded Her with Congratulatory Message to Porsha Williams

As Porsha Williams continues to get congratulatory messages on her pregnancy, she’s also received one from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” producer Andy Cohen. Some, however, think Cohen’s words were shady against Kenya Moore.

“Very excited for @Porsha4real! Next season is full of a lot of real, life-changing moments,” Cohen tweeted Wednesday, Sept. 19, after Williams’ big announcement.

Williams was rumored to be with child for months but finally confirmed the news earlier this week. Meanwhile, her former RHOA co-star, Moore, had announced she was pregnant with her first child during the season 10 reunion in April.

Cohen sent her a congratulatory message at the time, but it wasn’t accompanied by any info about Moore’s time on the upcoming season.

Plus, fans had replied to the tweet by telling Cohen Moore wasn’t actually pregnant, something she’s been fighting against throughout her pregnancy.

Perhaps those things added more reason for fans to feel as if Cohen was throwing shade at Moore, whose journey to motherhood won’t be documented on the upcoming season since she’s reportedly no longer on the show.

“He said ‘real life changing moments’ …whew chile the shade 😆 #ilovemesomeAndy 😎💁🏽‍♀️.”

“Shady boots Andy wit the tactful congrats to Porsha…….hope those ratings are up for the next season.”

“Andy is so shady with his words 🗣”

“What he saying is … we don’t need Kenya because we have Porsha lol.”

“But he is not happy for Kenya? He purposely got rid of Kenya. F— Andy c aka fake Cohen.”

“Andy is so fake🙄, why couldn’t you keep Kenya on?”

Even so, Moore has teased that fans will be able to see her explore becoming a mom. She went on Instagram Live a couple of weeks ago and said she was filming a new project.

“I’m up early because I’m going to actually film something today,” she shared Sept. 9. “It’s an exciting project. Obviously, I can’t tell you what it is, but it’s nice to be up working.”

She later posted a photo of herself in front of a camera with a crib in the background, leading many fans to think she’s working on a baby special.

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.
