After Having Emergency C-Section, Kenya Moore Admits She’s Having a ‘Tough’ Day of Recovery

Kenya Moore is resting up after getting induced to give birth early over the weekend. And the former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star revealed she hasn’t had the easiest time recovering from her cesarean section.

The 47-year-old welcomed her first child, a girl named Brooklyn Doris Daly just after 9:30 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 4 after suffering from a pregnancy complication called preeclampsia. Moore had to be induced since the condition led to dangerously high blood pressure.

While People magazine reported Brooklyn “is very alert and active” and the new mom was doing well, Moore disclosed on Tuesday, Nov. 6 that she was having a “tough” day of healing.

“Having a tough day of recovery and just got these! So gorgeous feeling so emotional! Thank you @kandi for being you and all your generosity from you and your family! I love you mama!” Moore shared on her Instagram page of a wild bouquet of flowers her pal and current RHOA cast member Kandi Burruss sent her.

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.
