‘We Knew Kenya Was Lying’: Kenya Moore Exposed After Tanya Sam Reveals Co-Star Seemingly Lies About Using Hair Pieces

Tanya Sam isn’t pulling any punches with her “Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Kenya Moore.

Last week, Moore insinuated that Sam’s fiancé Paul Judge was cheating on her with a woman who worked at a local Atlanta bakery. After learning of Moore’s shady ways, Sam had some dirt of her own on Moore and outed her co-star for wearing fake hair.

On Sunday night’s episode, the co-stars returned to Atlanta from their Toronto trip and decided to talk about the drama between Sam and Moore. Sam met up with her co-stars Porsha Williams, Kandi Burruss and Marlo Hampton at a spa, after finding out that Moore was talking smack about her relationship. Sam then had some tea of her own to spill about her new archnemesis.

Sam claimed Moore asked her to pick up a package for her in Toronto and take it back to Atlanta, and when she and her fiancé Judge opened it up they found a phone charger inside and a wig. Sam even brought the wig with her to the spa and showed the ladies in person.

For years, Moore has claimed that she doesn’t wear weaves or wigs in her hair. So Sam exposing Moore is an action guaranteed to incite more drama.

“RHOA” fans chimed in on the drama between the two costars.

“Uhm honestly I don’t think anyone believed Kenya hair was real ….. idk why Kenya lies about that “

“Wearing a wig doesn’t negate the fact that Kenya has long nice hair. You tried it…… 🙄 this is lukewarm tea”

“We knew Kenya was lying! Ain’t nobody scared of fake ass, contacts wearing, frontal wearing ass ” I’m so natural” Kenya #heyyywiggg 😂”

“Chile I thought it was something useful…i mean that’s light tea 😩😩🤦🏾‍♀️ Kenya bout to get Tanya’s a– 😳”

Moore recently addressed the episode on Twitter after a viewer wrote, “Why do you always go out of your way to make your cast mates feel lesser for wearing wigs? Nothing wrong with wearing wigs but you always put other women down for doing it. It wouldnt have been a problem with anyone else.”

Moore responded, “Wigs can be worn as protective styles not to hide your real hair because of damage!”

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.
