‘Watch That Stove’: Kenya Moore’s Pic of Baby Brooklyn In the Kitchen Goes Left

It looks like social media police are patrolling Kenya Moore.

The castmate from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” posted a photo of her 1-year-old daughter Brooklyn Daly this weekend that had some fans gushing and others concerned. She took to her daughter’s official Instagram page and uploaded a picture of the toddler in her highchair with an empty bowl in her hands and spaghetti all around her mouth.

The IG photo caption for Baby Brooklyn, who flashed a smile across her face, read “Look mommy I ate all my food 👶🏽”

The adorable picture of Moore’s daughter quickly took a turn when fans commented about the child being seemingly too close to the kitchen stove.

“Am I the only one concerned w her being right next to the stove?😫”

“Why she by the stove do better Kenya”

“I glad that she doesn’t know how to turn the knobs on that stove,but yessss good job BROOKLYN❤️!!!!”

“OMG! Why is she so close to the stove like that Kenya? I can’t even concentrate about her eating all her food. She is still a sweetie pie.🙏💗😨”

“Oh no way to close to the stove knobs😳😳😳”

“She’s sitting right next to the stove?”

Although Moore didn’t respond to naysayers, her fans quickly jumped to her defense.

“You don’t think Kenya is smart enough to protect her own daughter? The comments about the stove was unnecessary.”

“But Kenya’s right by her… Probably just put her there real quick for the picture. You people are miserable 🙄🙄”

Moore shares baby Brooklyn with estranged husband Marc Daly.

A source from Hollywood Life claimed the couple are trying their hardest to co-parent their daughter despite their ongoing marital drama.

“She’s allowing him to see Brooklyn a lot which he has been doing. They’re trying to work on their relationship, not necessarily for the sake of getting back together, but for the sake of co-parenting and Brooklyn,” the insider reportedly told Hollywood Life on March 28. “Kenya really is encouraging Marc to have the best relationship he can for their daughter but romantically, it doesn’t seem to be in the cards right now.”

Moore and Daly welcomed Brooklyn in November 2018. Their daughter is the pair’s only child together.

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.
