‘I Love Her’: Meghan McCain’s ‘Controversial Opinion’ About Kenya Moore Gets Welcomed by ‘RHOA’ Star Herself

It looks like Kenya Moore has a fan in Meghan McCain.

The outspoken co-host of ABC’s “The View” alarmed fans this weekend when she announced her support for Moore, who returned to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Sunday after a year away from the show.

“I’m so glad #RHOA is back. This first episode is already better than the entirety of OC’s season thus far. Also, this may be a controversial opinion, but I am also happy for Kenya’s return to the series,” McCain tweeted during the season 12 premiere Nov. 3. The post was accompanied by a GIF of Moore snapping and exclaiming, “Yaaasss!”

The post caused many to raise their eyebrows and several admitted that they agreed with her for a change.

“I’m Sad to say !!i agree with you”

“Never did I think weโ€™d agree but โ€ฆalas here we are!โ€ฆ Iโ€™m with you on this one sis”

“Something we agree on as millennials. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ”

“I sooooo agree, Rhoc has gone downhill, I’m happy Kenya is back also. ๐Ÿ˜Š”

“I’m with you on that!! She brings the flavor!”

“I didn’t know you watch the black franchises ๐Ÿ‘€ okay Meg! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ”

During Moore’s appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” following the “RHOA” premiere that night, host Andy Cohen brought McCain’s tweet to the reality TV star’s attention.

“Meghan McCain tweeted that she is happy for your return to the series!” Cohen said at the top of Bravo’s nightly talk show.

“I love her,” Moore responded.

This is not the first time McCain has made it clear she’s a fan of “The Real Housewives” franchise at large. The columnist told Cohen back in September that her daytime talk show “The View” can bear some similarities to the reality series.

“Look, ‘The View’ can be like the ‘Housewives’ sometimes,” said on “WWHL” after explaining why she appeared to storm off the set during a heated discussion about President Donald Trump on “The View” with guest host Ana Navarro.

During that same appearance, McCain explained what led her to get up and leave the table.

“I just want to say the walking off footage, we are told by producers to leave the table if it’s too heated,” she said. “I’ve done that many times over the years.”

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.
