If there is one storyline that works well on Real Housewives of Atlanta, it’s having a baby. A close second is wanting a baby and having a miscarriage, or finding out you can’t have a baby. So what does a single female with no prospects in site do? They pretend to try to have a baby. In reality TV, the is no need to worry about things like being menopausal (nods to the Countess, and Big Ang) after all, it is just storyline. It doesn’t matter if you have already had a storyline that implied that you are infertile, as Kenya Moore has done in the past. If you can fake a boyfriend, you can fake in vitro. We all know Kenya can’t afford in vitro so there are two ways to go in her situation. She can just say she is having the procedure done, or she can get in vitro by Bravo, that is actually go through the process on TV where the doctor does the procedure for free in exchanges for his baby making skills being highlighted on the show.
Kenya has been hatching her baby making plot for quite some time. This morning she instagrammed that she had successfully undergone fibroid surgery :
Thank you for all your well wishes and kind regards. Letting my family and friends know I successfully underwent fibroid surgery as it was reported. Yes, I’m okay. No appetite yet. Excellent female doctors in Atlanta! #proudsisters #closertomydreams #Im not 43 yet!
As reported I assume means “as I reported to the tabloids to draw attention to myself because otherwise no one would have know because no one really cares about my fibroids and I need this to draw attention so I will get another season of Bravo because I am broke.”
And “Excellent female doctors in Atlanta” means I used the same doctor as Cynthia because she is down with the whole Free Fibroid Removal by Bravo experience.
And “I am not 43 yet” means “I have exactly 20 more days of being 42. But it really doesn’t matter either way because I am too old to use my own eggs for this anyway. ”
I hope the baby is a girl and she names her ‘Noe.’ #GoneWithTheWindRidiculous
P.S. Maybe Phaedra will give her some of that Apollo spunk. It do make a good baby!
Dear Lord ~ If Kenya does manage to get herself knocked up, I’m praying that she has to right motives toward the life she created. Amen.
*the* right motives. Lord, while you’re at it, please help me string together a coherent sentence without mistakes. Sigh.
Hopefully if she does conceive that she will be one of those people who matures and realizes acting a fool is not what she needs to be doing. Look at how well Nicole Ritchie is doing after becoming a mother.
I’m curious to know what “fibroid surgery” means in this case.
As the story goes she had benign uterine fibroids that would contribute to a possible miscarriage if not removed before in vitro.

But I don’t think they can be “removed”. I think they have to cut the blood supply and let them dry up. But they come right back anyway. I just didn’t think there was a quick fix for fibroids. Also thought that by nature a fibroid is always benign. Or it’s called something else. But I could be wrong about that.
They can be malignant. 1in 1000. And they can be cut out. But it sounds like a horrid operation. The article also said that they don’t interfere with pregnancy. But I know that’s not true.
Is fibroids a common occurrence? I have never heard of this before. Or is it like endometriosis?
I had one the size of a grapefruit removed. I was told it was no big deal and common.
Very, very common. Most everyone has them. They usually go away on their own and rarely require surgery.

Interesting nugget – African American women are 2-3 times more likely to develop uterine fibroids than Caucasians. A 2011 study revealed a strong relationship between use of hair relaxers ( frequency of use) and risk of developing fibroids. Yes, I am well aware that your readers will most likely label me a racist, but I can only blame the wealth of information available on the Internet.
There are a LOT of products we use without thinking about it that are unhealthy, often with disastrous results. In addition to hair relaxer, hair dye (especially blond), deodorant, hand sanitizers, so many things.
We need to think about not just what we ingest, but what we allow to come into contact with our largest organ, or skin…

Not necessarily true. Fibroids usually get smaller as a woman ages; after menopause. The study linking relaxers to fibroids was deemed faulty; thereby unreliable.
Yeah, I am going to believe that the study about putting chemicals on your brain skin is just peachy!

That media ho will do or say anything for attention. And if her lips are moving, we know she’s lying.
Please pls pls Bravo, make her just go away…..
I like her.
Maybe Kroy will donate the sperm and Kim the egg. We already know they make purdy babies!
This woman is insufferable and so blatantly calculating. Cynthia had a fibroid medical condition, apparently affecting her sex life, and got a lot of press with it. Guess just whining about wanting a baby and the competition wasn’t getting Kenya the desired attention, so it’s now tea and sympathy for her fibroid issue + the in vitro story.
If this woman really, really wants a baby and good press, she should adopt a baby and stop the nonsense.
When they talked about fibroids, most of the women on the show said they had the same problem. Are they all just saying that for attention or just Kenya.
Only 2 so far thought it worthy of selling a story, so I’d say the answer is 2.
I like Kenya. I think she is very good at getting people riled up. And don’t think you’re doing it of your own free will. You are doing just what she wants you to do. She’s in control.
TeeCee is the Kenya of Tamara Tattles!

Nice! 😀
Did TeeCee have fibroid surgery as well? Is she looking into invitro? Twril Twril. HaHa
For your information I had fibroids that caused a painful miscarriage and warranted a hysterectomy. What the fuck that has to do with anything or why you had the nerve to ask, I don’t know.
Somehow I never pictured teecee as the twerking type!
On this, I agree. The only thing she hasn’t controlled is me spending money on her.
She needs a good Dermatologist first before a fertility doctor. Good god. Use the TOX, the TOX is your friend. Also a good peel or 308545888584 billion might do the trick.
Yes, I also had fibroids and was told that my husband and I would not be able to get pregnant naturally until they were removed. I had a Myomectomy where a c-section incision was made and my fibroids were surgically removed. A Myomectomy is the is the surgical removal of fibroid tumors while leaving your uterus in place for possible conception. If women are past the child-bearing years and do not want more children, the doctor will suggest a hysterectomy or an embolization. My mom had the Uterine Fibroid Embolization procedure where an interventional radiologist makes a tiny nick in the skin in the groin and inserts a catheter into the femoral artery. Using real-time imaging, the physician guides the catheter through the artery and then releases tiny particles, the size of grains of sand, into the uterine arteries that supply blood to the fibroid tumor. This blocks the blood flow to the fibroid tumor and causes it to shrink and die. This is a fairly new procedure and there isn’t enough information on how this effects fertility, so medical professionals do suggest women who do not want a hysterectomy and who have not yet hit Menopause, to forgo this procedure. Condoleeza Rice also had this procedure performed to rid her of fibroids. Whatever Kenya’s motives are, I hope she utilizes this platform to bring more awareness to Uterine Fibroids and Women’s Health and Well-Being.
Myomectomy! Thats what I had. I’m unsure it needs brought to such a platform, but appreciate that Cynthia was honest about her issues. What I think should be made into a bigger deal so women can save themselves is the fallen bladder!
When you have an organ trying to squeeze out of your privates, you pee when you sneeze or cough, and it can be held up by underwear? Yeah, Vicki should have ran with that ball.
