Kenya Moore Considers Return to ‘RHOA’

Kenya Moore is not going to appear on the upcoming season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” but that doesn’t mean she’ll never go back to it.

The pregnant reality star hosted a Q&A session on her Instagram Story Thursday, Oct. 4, and answered a couple of questions relating to “RHOA.”

“Will you return to Atlanta Housewives?” one fan asked.

“I always say never say never,” Moore replied.kenya moore

Another fan asked Moore to play a game, writing, “Call/text/delete: Andy Cohen, Porsha Williams and NeNe Leakes.”

The response Moore wrote may surprise some fans.

Moore had been rumored to be out on “RHOA” since the spring, when it was reported that Bravo was irate and planning to yank the former Miss USA winner after she eloped to wed Marc Daly in St. Lucia without having the network’s camera crew there to capture the moment. It reportedly led the network to warn other stars about keeping other such secrets.

And when Williams announced her pregnancy, many fans were fired up at “Housewives” executive producer Cohen, who congratulated Williams by tweeting on Sept. 19, “Very excited for @Porsha4real! Next season is full of a lot of real, life-changing moments.”

Moore’s fans took the tweet as shade, since rumors swirled that Moore wasn’t actually pregnant.

But the star has been making nice with Williams lately. She congratulated her on her impending motherhood and also posed with her at a recent event in Atlanta. Meanwhile, she has appeared to continue her falling-out with Leakes that was apparent in season 10.

Even still, Moore’s statement confirming she’s not joining season 11 left some hope that she wasn’t saying goodbye to the franchise for good. She noted she chose to “take this season off” rather than saying she was leaving the show outright.

“I have decided to take this season off to focus on my high-risk pregnancy in a healthy and drama free environment,” Moore said in a Monday, Oct. 1, statement. “I thank Bravo for this amazing platform that has allowed me to grow, flourish and appreciate the value of what is truly important in life.”

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.
