Kenya Moore Fans Remark on Baby Brooklyn’s ‘Low Key’ Message to Mom’s ‘Haters’

Kenya Moore’s seemingly simple photo of her daughter Brooklyn Doris Daly caught fans’ attention for a not-so-simple reason.

The former star of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” shared the cute image of her 4-month-old to the infant’s official Instagram account Thursday, March 21.

“Always a reason to smile and laugh 👶🏽 #brooklyndaly #miraclebaby #babydaly,” the image was captioned.

Several followers couldn’t help but gush over how pretty Brooklyn looked with her gummy grin.

“Awwwww loook at her soooooooooo adorable ❤️💋”

“Cuteness overload 😍😍😍”

“She’s perfect❤❤😭”

But many others peeped the subtle message the baby seemed to be giving Moore’s detractors with that all important finger on her left hand.

“Got her middle finger up low-key lol.”

“I see that ‘forget you finger.’ Lol.”

“@thebrooklyndaly is suspect right now..middle finger baby😂😂😂(its a joke tho dont come for me yall.) #cute!!”

“The finger is for the hater of her mom😍😍😍😍😍”

Unfortunately, Moore certainly does have some haters. And one seems to be her former co-star Nene Leakes.

The O.G. “RHOA” star recently took issue with former friend turned foe Cynthia Bailey for inviting Moore to her Seagram’s Escapes peach bellini beverage launch event while knowing that Moore may show up. Bailey did not tell Leakes about Moore’s invitation to her party.

The issue was brought up on “The Talk” in November 2018 and Bailey explained her side of the story.

“She said that she was probably wasn’t gonna come,” Bailey explained of Moore on the CBS daytime talker at the time. “And I neglected to let my good friend Nene know that there was a possibility that she might show up.”

“Cynthia’s done a lot of stuff, in my opinion, on the down low [that] is very sneaky and underhanded,” Leakes said in her Instagram Live stream March 12, tearing into Bailey. “She has done a lot of stuff that you all just don’t get to see on the show that’s just, like, underhanded, and then I always come out looking like the bad guy. But she’s done a lot of f—ed up stuff.”

Previously, Leakes had maintained that she had no issue with Moore but more recently she’s given credit to a claim that Bailey and other castmates are trying to push her out to make way for Moore on “RHOA” next season.

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.
