‘Nobody Deserves This’: ‘RHOA’ Fans Blast Kenya Moore’s Husband Marc Daly After He Says He Hates Being Married

The March 1 promo episode of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” gave viewers an inside look at Kenya Moore and Marc Daly‘s estranged marriage.

During a dinner party, Daly was asked, “Are you enjoying the ride that comes with being married?” He replied by saying, “No, I hate it. Everyone knows that.”

The promo began with Moore and Daly sitting at a dinner party, and Daly being seemingly annoyed at Moore for wanting to get up from the table to mingle with other guests. He asked her, “Why don’t you stay babe?” She replied by saying, “I’m a hostess. I don’t know why I can’t move around.”

Moore’s castmates Eva Marcille, Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, and Porsha Williams were some of the few guests in attendance at the party. However, Moore’s frenemy, NeNe Leakes, noticed just how distant the couple was acting toward each other during the dinner.

Leakes told viewers that she has only been around the pair a few times. However, based on her observations, Moore and Daly have never had a lovey-dovey relationship.

Fans expressed how they felt about Daly’s comments on social media.

One “RHOA” fan said, “As much as Kenya gets on my nerves she doesn’t deserve to be treated like that 😩”

Another fan commented, “She need to let that man go so he can find the man of his dreams.”

“I’m sorry, I know everyone hates Kenya, but I feel bad for her. I know she cuts up for the show, but nobody deserves this,” said a third user.

A fourth fan said, “He gives me narcissistic vibes.”

“Wow.. he seems low key abusive mentally , physically and/or emotionally,” said a fifth user.

The reality star announced last October that she and Daly were officially splitting up. In an interview with People Magazine, Moore said, “I didn’t get married to quit. I believe in for better and for worse and I believe in trying it all before you walk away, especially when we do have a child and we are a family.”

The former couple welcomed their daughter, Brooklyn Daly, into the world a little over two years ago.

After a fan spotted Moore and Daly having brunch together in New York City a few weeks ago, Andy Cohen of “Watch What Happens Live!” addressed the rumors about her and Daly getting back together.

Moore told viewers she is in the process of working out her relationship with Daly, which led fans to believe Moore and Daly were arguing for the sake of a storyline.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
