How Kenya Moore Reportedly Tried to Get Her Peach Back on RHOA

Kenya Moore was spotted celebrating pal Cynthia Bailey’s Seagram’s Escapes collaboration over the weekend. But a report claims she wasn’t invited to be included at “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” taping that was going on, despite photos surfacing of Moore being mic’d up.

Moore’s appearance at the launch party for Bailey’s signature Peach Bellini drink was reported to be a welcome one, but a source told Radar Online that was not the case. As such, her arrival has precluded her from returning to RHOA again.

“Kenya crashing the final filming for the season is not going to matter, she’s not back on the show,” the insider said.

Allegedly, Moore showed up to the bash to try to confront Nene Leakes, with whom she’s been at odds. However, the source said the two never faced one another because Leakes wants “nothing to do with her.”

Earlier this summer, Leakes expressed confusion over fans’ speculation that she had an issue with Moore. However, when Leakes didn’t show up at the pregnant star’s baby shower, talk of them sparring shifted into overdrive. That was especially the case when Moore revealed she would “delete Nene” from her phone when given the choice during an  Instagram Q&A at the beginning of October.

“Nene avoided Kenya the whole night, and she and Bravo have made it clear that no matter what kind of tricks Kenya tries to come up with, they’re on to her and she’s not coming back to the show,” the insider continued.

The source said that Moore will “never” return to the show, and although she filmed with RHOA once for the 11th season, producers may not even allow that footage to air.

“Kenya overplayed her cards… She thought by showing up and creating drama it would get her back on the show. It won’t,” the source concluded.

 

 

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.
