Kenya Moore is speaking out after she officially exited 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' after 11 seasons with the show.
Kenya Moore is speaking out less than 24 hours after she officially exited The Real Housewives of Atlanta after 11 seasons with the show.
The 53-year-old reality TV star took to Instagram on Wednesday and posted a photo of her 5-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, enjoying a little R&R on the beach. But it's her caption that shed some light into how she's doing and what she's thinking after parting ways with the Bravo series. She also offered a rebuttal to the claims behind her exit.
"Thank you for all the support #teamtwirl. My heart is full and my conscience is clean," she wrote in her caption. "So many false claims hiding behind anonymous sources. All this conversation and no facts being reported. If a claim or source was valid, would they need to hide?"
She added, "My life is blessed. Myself and my daughter will continue to thrive in a non toxic environment where we feel appreciated and most importantly, protected. Thank you God for covering us. 🙏🏾."
Moore is speaking out one day after ET confirmed that she would not be returning for season 16 following her suspension by Bravo earlier this month. Moore was sidelined at the time for alleged drama involving RHOA newcomer Brittany Eady.
In response, a source told ET that she decided to part ways with the franchise, despite previously expressing interest in returning, declaring that she would not be "going anywhere" and receiving support from her longtime castmates and friends.
"Kenya is not returning to RHOA this season. She decided it was best for herself to leave after how she felt the incident was handled and how she was treated," a source shared with ET.
A separate source told ET that, at this time, it's not known how Moore's exit will be handled on the show, if at all.
"It's still early into filming and they could just edit her out, like Lizzy Savetsky on New York," the source said.
Savetsky was a cast member on the rebooted version of The Real Housewives of New York City but left the show early on in filming. When the show premiered, she was completely left out of the edit.
Whatever the case, it sure seems as though Moore has a strong support group, as evidenced by the co-stars who rallied around her following her suspension. Moore held an Instagram Live session shortly after the suspension, which prompted the likes of Drew Sidora and Porsha Williams to also hop on and show support.
News that Moore's leaving the storied franchise comes just days after she settled her divorce from New York City-based restauranteur Marc Daly. As part of the divorce settlement, Moore had been granted "final decision-making authority" when it comes to Brooklyn being included on a television show or other economic opportunities.
That had been a point of contention dating back to last year, when Moore claimed on the Reality With the King podcast that Daly was trying to prevent Brooklyn from appearing on her Bravo reality series.
