‘Is It Bad I Don’t Feel Sorry for Kenya?’: Fans Have Little Sympathy for Kenya Moore After She Opened Up About Marital Woes In ‘RHOA’ Season Premiere

Kenya Moore spoke candidly about her separation and possible divorce from her estranged husband Marc Daly during the season 13 premiere of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

“I’m just tired of being sad,” she told her friend over the phone around the 10-minute mark as she drove to see a divorce lawyer.

Moore, 49, recalled visiting Daly, 50, in New York City along with their daughter Brooklyn where she said he largely ignored her. 

She also revealed she stayed in a hotel rather than with her husband. “Wait a min…. Kenya was staying In a hotel, when she went to see her husband… #RHOA,” one fan tweeted during the episode.

“I’ve been a wife that has tried everything to be respectful, be kind, and I feel like for the past six months, my marriage has just gone downhill,” the “RHOA” star said in a confessional.

She then explained to her divorce attorney, Antavius Weems, that she and Daly were working on reconciling following their 2019 separation, but that all changed during the pandemic. 

“COVID happened, and it really adversely affected his businesses, and we were apart. I was here, he was in New York, and I feel like I am the first person to take the brunt of everything that is going on with him,” Moore said adding that Daly was “being angry” and hurling “insults” at her.

The “RHOA” star then declared that she’s a “great communicator” and tried to walk away from arguments with Daly.

At that point, Bravo aired clips of times the former Miss USA shouted at her cast mates with nasty comments.

“Come through Bravo with the petty flashbacks of Kenya being a ‘good’ communicator #RHOA,” one fan tweeted.

Other fans took to Twitter and began to drag her because of her past feuds with the other cast members. 

“Is it bad i don’t feel sorry for Kenya? she was a hateful person to everybody and now look. #RHOA,” one fan said.

Singer and YouTuber Jessie Woo said, “It’s just so hard to feel bad for Kenya considering how she’s attacked everybody’s marriages over the years.”

“#RHOA Mark talks crazy to Kenya, Kenya talks crazy to everyone else….and we are watching like this cause karma is a b—h…..” another Twitter user wrote.

Moore and Daly announced their separation in September 2019.

Since then, they’ve appeared to co-parent their daughter while the reality star continues to live in Atlanta and the restaurateur in New York.

The two last appeared to be together for Brooklyn’s second birthday.

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.
