Excuse me, but I am a bit pissed off tonight. When I logged on for the first time today I had an email from GoFundMe letting me know there was a new announcement on Reality Tea’s fundraising drive for Detroit Public Schools. As a former teacher, it was a cause that was near and dear to my heart and I had been on the receiving end of many generous gifts to my classroom. I’m a strong believer in paying it forward and I made a contribution that is why I get the updates. I looked on Twitter for the link to the Reality Tea donation site to include when I wrote this post where I praised Kenya for her donation and defended her in comments. I read in the update that Kenya’s donation event had been postponed again. I went to Reality Tea and read their article. As a Kenya fan, I wanted to hear her side of the story. I did not rush to judge. I contacted Kenya.
I had the very best of intentions and believed that there must be a logical explanation why the donation ceremony was cancelled twice in two weeks. It takes a lot for a school to put together a school wide event with TV cameras. I got back two pissy emails. One informed me that “I am on a goddamn TV show and they reschedule things all the time.” The next one said something about a conflict with her father’s schedule. I responded that I am on her side and my blog is very favorable to her. I did tell her in first email that this seems to undo all the goodwill that she was putting out by donating. I felt badly for her. I am a supporter. I was trying to figure out where the problem lied. I am actually aware she is on a goddamn TV show. I don’t know what her father’s schedule has to do with anything. I sent a second email explaining I was only trying to help and that my site is very #TeamTwirl for the most part. I was asking for a defense. I heard nothing until her rant on Twitter. I’m not feeling super twirly tonight.
This is why I don’t like when you guys tag me on Twitter with Bravolebrities. When I first started blogging I was fine with interviewing the cast of Shahs of Sunset. That was before the show aired. Then when I had to recap, it felt weird. I couldn’t be objective. I liked them all. At first. Which made things really awkward with Reza at some point. I try to limit my interactions with all the Bravo folks online. And it really pisses me off if I read someone and you guys want to tweet them my blog. I get how Twitter works, just no.
Anyway. Kenya never responded to my second email. And then posted this on twitter Instagram:
I’m proud to be able to give back and keep my promise to the Detroit public schools foundation to donate $20,000. Detroit is a resilient city and so am I. I will continue to shine despite the people who want to see me fail or try to turn my positivity in to negativity. See you soon Detroit! #igotyomoney #kenyalovesthekids #twirlsawayhaters
Apparently, she is having a bad day. I reached out to her to give her some good press. She was rude. I’m not thrilled with her response to a blogger (perhaps the only one) who has consistently stuck up for her. A simple “It is a filming opportunity for RHOA or Celebrity Apprentice and I had no control. ” or “The producers wanted my father to be there and he could not make the date” would have been all I needed. That’s not what I got. I know she reads here. I know she knows we support her. I’m really disappointed. I’m going to chalk it up to a bad day. THIS TIME.
That said, I’m going to point out that it is a cashiers check which confirms my suspicion that it was a “TRUMP CHECK.”Perhaps my alluding to that fact in comments here is what really pissed her off. In the end I am proud of Kenya for making such a great contribution to a school system. I appreciate her respect for education. It doesn’t make a difference to me how she made the contribution. But, I am very disappointed in her response to my offer of help today. I had every intention of improving her public opinion and not lessening my personal one.
As it turns out, Reality Tea has decided to keep their fundraiser open. I encourage you all to donate five bucks to the cause. As a former teacher I can tell you what a difference five dollars makes. Reality Tea has raised $1,300. I think we should show the blog world how to match a donation. I’m challenging those of you who can (not those who are struggling already) to give up five dollars. If we all do we can match the $1,340 donated so far. Maybe my rich folks can do a bit more. Thanks on behalf of Detroit Public Schools Foundation teachers.
I know y’all love that chick, but I’m not surprised at all. She’s a liar. Now twirl on that.
Indeed, nothing more than a lying POS, fake head to toe.
I too do not like or trust Kenya. She is a selfish person with ulterior motives for everything she does, imo. I am all for contributing to education and also know how much they need the funds. I just don’t think that using this very worthy cause for publicity and to seek attention for one’s self is altruistic. She is rude and you have been used. I hope that she will keep her promise but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I completely agree with the three posters above. Kenya has pulled-the-wool over too many eyes. She is nothing but a fake, selfish, antagonistic, self-serving fool. I’m surprised to read support of any type for this woman; most posters here are far too intelligent to fall for antics…
Interesting my negative comment about Kenya has been deleted. Hmmm…
and it’s back again. Don’t understand.
Thank youuuuuuu!
I have never been on Team Twirl. Kenya grates on my nerves.
I’m just glad that she sent a check. Now NeNe can match it. That’s good $$ for any School District! They all need it and Detroit deserves it! I hope they get that $40k plus!!
Oh she didn’t send it. It’s there in her hand. Was I unclear?

I don’t understand why it isn’t sent now (sooner the better for the schools) and when everyone is available (production, Kenya, cameras and the school) then they film the scenes where she just hands over a mock cheque. It’s not like Bravo is against filming fake or out if sequences scenes…
I suspect that Celebrity Apprentice is trying to align with RHOA. I have no idea why she keeps trying to throw her father under the bus.

TT, I’m glad you are giving Kenya the benefit of the doubt and chalking it up to a “bad day”. We all have them and it sounds from the Instagram, she is stressed out to the max. It’s really hard to say what is going on in her life, although I can understand being somewhat hurt and peeved from your perspective. It makes me feel bad too, because you have been very supportive of Kenya when few were. Me too. STILL, maybe she really was having a REAL bad day, and later will be sorry. Maybe she is a total bitch and that will come to light too, but I think she is worth, maybe, one more try. TT, your call.
I’m willing to over look it. I was not willing to not mention it to you guys.
I think Kenya has solidly shot herself in the foot. Sigh.
Nah, I’m going with bad day. Not shot herself in the foot, not “lying POS”, which I know a lot of people who read your earlier post were just dying to say, etc.
I believe the readers of this blog are smarter, more balanced, and generally of a higher caliber on average than readers of other blogs. Maybe I’m “tooting my own horn”, but I believe as a more enlightened crowd, we can see a smart woman behind the beautiful face, and I’m glad, as the author of this blog, that you, TT, are leading by example in not writing Kenya off because of this. Though you did have every legitimate reason to write her off. I hope she apologizes to you. But in the meantime
TT, you are a class act. While I am team twirl, I am extremely disappointed of her treatment towards you. You have always been fair and just to her. Even now, you give her the benefit of the doubt.
This is why I respect you, and always visit your blog.
Her deep rooted insecurities gives her aura the “chaos” vibe about her.
Oooops!
But in the meantime, I applaud your attitude, TT.
Kenya if you’re reading this then you owe TT an apology. You have no idea how powerful and influential this blog is. We want to keep showing you favor, however if you intentionally disrespect our friend you can count on your popularity going down the drain. Right now I’m not feeling you but you have an opportunity to redeem yourself. Now twirl girl and do the right thing.
I cannot tolerate her arrogance. I don’t see a nice person, at least on TV.
I seriously think that with the end of Nene and probably Pheadra, Kenya may think she is the new ‘Queen’, and believes she is above criticism.
Sorry TT to hear about your experience. Don’t give up on her yet. Lol Maybe she was having a bad day or maybe it’s part of her storyline and she can’t disclose too much. But that still did not warrant her being short with you. Hopefully she’ll come back to her senses and apologize to you. Because you are one of the few bloggers that ‘s been very fair to her. Good for the kids of Detroit, though, regardless where the money comes from.
Really? We readers like her here on this blog? Oh.
Well, some of ya’ll do. Le sigh.
Not Ere’body!
Not me.
Kenya is like the best of a bad lot. All the Atlanta housewives are shady and far from philanthropic beacons. I just hope the schools get the money they need. Maybe this season I will end up not being a fan of Kenya. A little bit of respect is all she needed to show you. Not too hard for most to accomplish.
Kenya, we have all been pretty good supporters of Team Twirl, but I know I speak for the majority here when I say we are DIEHARD supporters of Team Tamara! I hope you make this right by her.
Team Tamara! Hell, yeah!!!
Tell it!
Wait so was it Kenya that emailed you back or the organization? Personally I saw her tweet as a “thanks for the heads up” and did some damage control, however I don’t know the context.
What part of “I’m on a goddamn TV SHOW!” was hard for you to understand?

So? She IS on a goddamn TV show.
You’re just as nasty, well usually nastier, to people all the time and then just as flippantly it’s “get tough skin” – Kenya has that same right, I don’t think what she said is all the pearl-grasping, and the bitch ain’t lying – she’s ON A GODDAMN TV SHOW.
I’m not trying to impress anyone with fake boyfriends or storylines. I’m just a fatass blogger sharing my viewpoints. I make money whether I like her or not. In fact, I would make more if I didn’t. I have the job I have specifically so that I can be the biggest cunt I want to be, or not. I no longer have to maintain my reputation, I own and make a living off my reputation online.
She doesn’t have that luxury. She still has to make people like her for job security. There is no amount of money that could make me have to try to learn how to kiss ass for a pay check. #winning.

Well said, well said.
Even though I don’t think Kenya initially set out to make people like her and was content being the over the top bitch, I see that tide turning for her and the conscious efforts — plus, she has to realize that when/if it gets to the point the entire cast hates you, there’s no choice but the boot ala Danielle and Alexis.
Oh she rises to the top this season. Kenya, Cynthia and Claudia will be the good edits. Most all the rest seem to be filming alone except for mandatory trips….
Did you donate your five dollars yet?

Fuck you for making me edit the blog. I hate editing. OBVI. And I emailed Kenya not “the organization”. Which is why I went back to edit. As it turns out, it was your reading comprehension that was at fault.
LOL that edit actually tripped me up, I went back to read it again and figured I just missed where it now specifically says “Kenya” – it originally just said “I got back two pissy emails” so I just INFERRED it was an organization or something, which is why I ASKED, because I didn’t think Kenya would be so fast to respond.
…grats on getting such a fast reply though
You certainly have been in her corner Tamara. I hope Kenya thinks twice about her comments to you. She struck me as someone that would be smooth with the “press”.
If this is actually the Celebrity Apprentice check, they do always film those presentations for the CA show. I suppose there could be conflicts with getting all the parties needing to be there and if Kenya wanted to recognize her Dad, maybe he is in poor health or something. She may be trying to tie in with a second film crew for RHOA. No excuse for being rude, but she may be exasperated about the situation in some way.
If this is CA money then it is NOT a donation from her. It is paid by the show as a result of winning a task. That is not $$ out of Kenya’s pocket per the bet. With that said, any money a school can get is helpful. My daughter is an assistant principal at the high school Donald Sterling went to. He gave them 50k !
I’m sure she’s had a ton of people contacting her asking why she postponed, is she gonna give the money, is she broke, blah blah blah. I can see becoming exasperated.
I think Kenya’s behavior has to do with her shitty parents more than anything else. She WAY overreacted to Phaedra wanting to negotiate her percentage for the video. I think it is a major trigger for her when she *feels she is being is criticized…but with the one present parent in her life that she has being a screaming narcissist who is relentlessly critical of her it is clear why she doesn’t react to criticism well, not even factoring into the equation that her mother won’t even acknowledge her existence, which is unfathomable and unforgiveable in my book. I am sure this hair-trigger reaction she has has destroyed a huge amount of her relationships in her life. I think if she would just pause and breathe before reacting to what she perceives as criticism literally her whole life would change. I have always been in her corner because I think she has the potential to be a role model for people who have lunatics for parents, that you don’t have to let that define your entire life, I mean, she has come soooooooooo far with the parents she got. And I always liked the fact that she stood up to Nene and really knocked her off her game. She ruined Nene’s entire season last time, which was fun to watch (I just don’t t think Nene is a good person, she wants to control and dominate everyone around her and watching her schtick season after season is exhausting, so Kenya was a breathe of fresh air). Kenya reminds me of Danielle Staub, you want to like her, but the histrionics and knee-jerk reactions make it really hard. I still am a fan, because she goes against the grain and doesn’t kowtow to bullies like Nene.
It’s a given that Detroit needs this badly and I’m glad she has apparently made them the recipient of CA funds. I will be disappointed if she doesn’t give them additional funds of her own before calling NeNe out on that bet though. Absolutely doesn’t count.
If Kenya was smart enough to win 20 grand from Donald Trump AND donate those “earnings” to the Detroit school system, what is wrong with that? I don’t get it. Detroit will get the money from the challenge, Kenya fulfilled her end of the bargain, makes Nene look like the socially irresponsible derelict that she is, and it should be over. Nene and Kenya never had any kind of written or verbal contract about how the funds would be obtained, just that 20 grand each would be donated. Nobody ever said “personal” funds either. In a very real way, any funds from CA were
“personal” funds anyway, because Kenya could have issued those funds to ANY charity. I don’t hear Detroit complaining.
Yes – win-win! Money is money! It is Kenya’s to do with as she pleases.
I don’t get this line of conversation. Kenya might have emailed you without looking at who it was from.I’m glad you are giving her some wiggle room but consider how many people you curse out. LOL! Kenya is always under attack! I think she is proably worn thin…. I know I would be.
Oh, barbinga, SHUT UP! She earned the CA money, YOU give $20 000, then talk.
Jesus SO SICK OF PEOPLE HAIRSPLITTING WHERE THE MONEY CAME FROM! IT WAS KENYA’S TO GIVE.
THE END!!!
The end because you say so? Shut up because you say so? FUCK OFF. I believe the original argument was prior to her being cast on CA. I’m no fan of NeNe, in fact, probably my least fave housewife ever. BUT the argument was NeNe showing her “rich ass”, and her point was Kenya is piss poor. And if it’s from CA, how is it Kenya’s to give? If she didn’t give it to Detroit schools, it’s not like she could keep it. She’s playing with $ raised for the Donald. Did I say fuck off? I meant to.
Had she not given it to a charity she would not have been able to keep it, there fore it is not hers.
I have been a HUGE supporter of Kenya, but that was NASTY. An apology is in order.
Agreed, that was NASTY. She edited the tweet that TT referenced because she knows better than to be such a bitch and to tangle with TT!
With that said she also tweeted that “my day started off with Devils trying to tear me down… But I had angels lift me up above them. #blessed”. I’m guessing that she got a ton of emails from the haters, who I know were pissed about her ponying up the donation, and was frustrated and angry that it had to be put off for filming and lashed out at EVERYONE. Stupid move, Kenya.
Kenya, if you read here, you would be smart to send a quick apology to Ms. TT.
You can edit tweets?
Never been a Kenya fan, never gonna be a Kenya fan. Not surprised at all about any of this.
If you go back to edit anything in the initial – please delete “lied” and replace with any contextually correct verb. It would humor a lot of old farts. Thx;)
What’s the saying? Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Ms. Moore should learn that when you are a public figure, you have to be cordial to the press. Yes, Kenya, Tamara is the press too! “I can see your true colors shinning through”.
TT – stop saying that it’s going to all about Kenya and Cynthia on the new season! YES – I realize it’s true. Now I’m probably not going to this RW show either.
Hmmmm, if I was NeNe and if I really intended to be good to my word, then I would whip out my check book pronto and beat Kenya to the punch. Donate while she is busy coordinating. Then you could say “I’m on a GodDamn TV show too but I made the donation”. That’s two pretty big “IFs”!
Nene is too dumb to figure out something like that.
That’s funny!
I don’t think Nene can even spare 20k. I mean the girl doesn’t even own a house. Even if she could afford it, I don’t see her being generous enough to do it.
Me either lol! That why it was a pretty big if. We know she has already cashed her Trump Check!
You have no idea what you are talking about. Yet you keep on blathering…

This just rubs me the wrong way on so many levels. 20K is not going to do anything for the school system, it wont even pay one salary or 1/2 of the cost of a computer lab. Yet Detroit has to kiss Kenya’s AND Donald’s ass for it. The 20K is just an expense that CA can write off. Yes I guess it is better than nothing………………but not much!
As a teacher I cannot even begin to address what a stupid comment that is. My head just might explode.

Please don’t waste your head on any stupid comment I make! I realize 20K could help a few or ten specific teachers make their classrooms a better place BUT Kenya is supposedly very wealthy and Donald is a Billionaire. It just seems narcissistic to give and ask for so much attention in return. Anyway I just watched the documentary “You’ve been Trumped” which shows what a true a**hole he is to the regular folk.
I’ve never heard anyone say that Kenya is very wealthy.
I hope and pray that the school system gets the money, regardless of where it comes from.
They will. Apparently there is some sort of issue with the CA crew.

But, her behavior towards you is appalling! I hope she sees that you revealing what transpired was never your intention, but she kinda backed you in a corner.
I am going to make my donation today! What a wonderful thing you’re doing, TT.
I didn’t even know she had a father.
And I wouldn’t contribute to Detroit schools of you gave me the money. Let’s reward bad behavior. No thanks.
Her father came to visit her last season on the show.
I wish you would start watching some PBS so you can see what really goes on in the US of A. Not every kid in the school is bad. Some of them really want an education. It’s probably good that you’re not going to give because if your gift is not coming from the heart,YOU need to keep it.
That really sucks that she was so nasty to you, Tamara. You have always been so supportive of her, even when no one else was. I don’t understand why she doesn’t just send the check. They need the money now! I get she wants it to be filmed, but they can always film her giving one of those giant checks at a later date.
Again. I think her point was that it is part of Celebrity Apprentice filming and she has no control over the filming schedule. I get she is frustrated, I just wish she would have explained the situation so I could have cleared it up here without all the drama.

That makes a lot of sense. It doesn’t excuse her rudeness to you, but I can understand if she has no control over when CA would allow her to present the check. It just would have made more sense if she had told you that rather than biting your head off for wanting to clear up this mess.
I agree with a poster above who stated that she was probably having a bad day. It does appear to me as though Kenya was very stressed and frustrated and took it out on you; probably others too. She’s human after all. I would imagine she totally appreciates your support, TT. I’m sure it will all smooth out soon.
I bet it was rescheduled so Nene could be present to also give her check. So Kenya is pissed because Nene will be present at the event. She is probably very pissed at Production.
I am now believe that it is the Celebrity Apprentice film crew that keeps changing the date. It’s making Kenya look bad and she is rightly pissed. This is the sort of thing I suspected which is why I tried to get to the bottom of the situation.

Bravo sponsored rudeness.
This is so ridiculous to me. Why can’t she donate the darn check NOW and and if she needs all this public credit for it, announce that you already donated at the big event when it finally happens? Unecessary drama.
And why’s she getting all snippy? She made a promise, failed to deliver multiple times. TV show or not, this is on her.
FYI Kenya, stamps are not that expensive. And if you didn’t want to mail it, I’m sure you could have dropped it off jc
Oops. I hit post by accident. She could have dropped it off when she was here in Detroit last week.

No, I do. And honestly, I don’t care if that’s where it came from versus her own checking account. Any money for the schools is great. I’m just frustrated that this has dragged on for so long and she is getting snippy. When this deal was first made she should have cut the check sent it on its merry way and then put it all on NeNe to satisfy her end of the deal.
Now it seems it’s part of Celebrity Apprentice instead, which is fine, but she acted like a check would be in the mail the day after the reunion.
Maybe I should just leave it at better late than never.
I can also see how she got worked up over the set up of the presentation not going in her favor. Like many of you stated, it is plausible that production is spicing things up and making it drama-filled and/or Nene-related. Or it could be something else. I’m sorry about how this has affected you, TT — I am a Kenya fan myself (still hanging on by a thread) and I would only hope that, for her sake, she somehow finds a way to redeem herself.
Again, it’s a Celebrity Apprentice taping.

The check remains in Kenya’s possession. Detroit schools haven’t received it yet. So until she hands it over it means nothing to me.

Wow. You have always been team Twirl TT. I hope Kenya realizes that without fans she’s nobody. I don’t care for her but she brings the drama to the show. I am not surprised she disrespected you like that. She is beginning to act like Nene did believing the show is nothing without her. I also think production encourages her not to take her meds which could explain some of her behavior.
It is suspect to cancel twice and highly unprofessional. Frankly, Kenya is doing bullshit tv and lost my respect showing thirst for a swallow if cash. Smart and real celebrities don’t do reality tv.

To quote the late, great Whitney Houston “I need to see the receipts” literally. I don’t believe Kenya at all on this. She’s a stunt queen of epic proportions and this is another stunt like Walter the fake boyfriend, the luxury car parked at her house, the African Prince, etc. She thought all she needed to show was the check, get some headlines, embarrass old Nene, and move on. Pay actual money? Nah. I’m pissed that she lashed out at you, Tamara, you’ve been ride or die for her though a lot of us can’t stand that broad. She should be sweet as pie to you because you always give her the benefit of the doubt. Bad move, Kenya.
Kenya was on the upcoming season of Celebrity Apprentice, she won $20K for her charity. On the show every winner is filmed delivering the check. She doesn’t get to decide when that happens. She just shows up when they tell her to. I’ve never thought this was her fault which is why I tried to get her side of the story.

No snark, but real curiosity: wouldnt a CA check say “Celebrity Apprentice” or the production company, or NBC-Universal? Why would it be a cashier’s check with Kenya’s name on it? Something in the milk ain’t clean. I swear in the past, the check has said CA and even has a picture of Trump on it.
Kenya’s name is no where on the check. It’s a cashiers check. That fact could be used to support an agreement that she got the check from her own funds, and also that it is from CA. I tend to think it is from CA and they always film the celebrity bringing the check to the charity.
Also Kenya set up other events in Detroit while she was there. It appears she fully intended to go but the filming schedule was changed by CA production.

Wow I am extremely disappointed with Kenya. Season 7 seems to be going well for her, but I hope she doesn’t start to become a moose herself.
Tamara, I agree with you 100%. I strongly disagree with Kenya responses. Bad day or not there is not an excuse for that type of response. I find it to be disrespectful to you and all of us that have continued to support Kenya threw all of her RHOA tribulations. When others judged Kenya harshly Tamara Tattles site stood by her. You reported the facts, and the majority of followers defended Kenya. We all have good and not so good days. With that being said I will continue to support Kenya. I hope and pray Kenya immediately women up and apologize. Kenya apologizes immediately!!!!!
As far as I’m concerned, Ms. Kenya had no business responding to Tamara the way she did. Tamara has been so supportive of her and Kenya is so unappreciative. Personally, I think Kenya is full of shit but I also understand a lot of the folks here are Kenya fans. I happen to believe she has major issues and though it may not be her fault that the engagement has been postponed a couple of times, the fact remains she is not the most honest nor the most humble individual. I would have hoped that her years of competing in pageants would have taught her a bit about class or humility however, time and time again, to me, she presents herself as completely classless and an enigma in her own mind. I do feel badly for her as I believe her issues to be mental, however after having worked in the mental health field for many years, I do not appreciate nor do I condone her behavior. And shame on me but I would have beat her ass had I been Porsha (sic?)… I guarantee she would think twice about trying that crap again on someone else.
You know I’m a Kenya fan. One of the few who liked her almost from the beginning (besides that whole coochie crack thing). That being said, didn’t Nene say on the reunion that Kenya is rude to her fans? Am I remembering that right? I’m pretty sure I am, because I remember hoping that that statement wasn’t true when I heard it.
I’m very disappointed that she responded to you in that way. I too hope it was just a bad day. *sigh
I’m pretty sure it’s the other way around, that nene is the one that’s so rude to her fans – I’m almost positive and because I can just SEE it.
That goes without saying!
@lori ~ Psylocke is right. Kenya was saying Nene was rude to her fans.
I think so too.
Yes, T.T., she was probably having a rough day. To have to weather SO MUCH HATE from SO MANY SOURCES, you have to be SO STRONG! Some of us liken such heavy contempt to racism. Who knows what all she read about her online that day? Kenya, stop reading that crap. Clear your head. The real question? How much of those funds will the kids actually benefit from? There’s all kinds of reports with certain charities and corruption–let’s keep our fingers crossed that the innocents ones it’s intended for will benefit the most, if not all. Let’s not let this overshadow the fact that Ne Ne said she’d match it, still waiting…
The foundation is a fully accredited non-profit. Not some shady fake Atlanta charity. 🙂
Please explain how you “liken such heavy contempt to racism”. I don’t see how that comments makes since. Remember Kenya knew exactly what she was walking into being on a reality tv show. With the love also comes the hate. Nature of the Beast. If she wants to go around insulting her supporters then what do you think is going to happen? I’m sorry but I get offended when people throw around the world “racism”! When it’s used incorrectly it diminishes the real situations of racism like the Michael Brown shooting!
True enough but that’s no excuse to treat Tamara (or others) the way that she does. I currently work in an extremely fast paced environment and it would never fly if I treated others poorly or spoke to them rudely. Ms. Kenya is paid well for all of her appearances and her years in the pageantry world SHOULD have taught her grace under pressure. If she can’t handle the “spotlight” she should stay out of it. She could have come up with a standard reply (“You’ll have to wait to see what happens!”) and she is no stranger to the way these television shows work. She knows she cannot divulge details ahead of time. There is a time to cut folks slack and a time to take up that slack. My own opinion is Kenya is long overdue…AND YOU SHOULDN’T TREAT YOUR SUPPORTERS BADLY!!! Tamara has been VERY good to her (BETTER THAN I EVER WOULD) and Kenya, as a grown ass woman, should realize it!!
We all have bad days.
Let’s move on. This is exactly what I didn’t want to happen. I regret making this post.

I don’t care what the reason is, she was out of line and very rude. We all have bad days and I bet we’d never act that way to a supporter. Many of the great stars, which Kenya is NO way one of, are super nice to fans no matter what. Not to compare her to one of the greats, but can you ever imagine Tom Hanks or Carol Burnett responding like she did? I refuse to give her an out because the poor baby had a bad day, I believe she’s just a rude, full of herself beotch. We all have had to control what we say, she needs to learn the same. Who is she anyway? I’d describe her with Gina’s awesome butt hair description. lol
I think everyone deserves a pass on having a bad day. I know I snap at, or have been rude to my “Supporters” on such days. In my case of course, my supporters are only friends and family. I can’t imagine having thousands of people who I don’t even know coming at me asking questions on one of those days. If Tamara had been the only person, it may have been different, but I’m sure that’s not the case. That combined with the fact, as many have mentioned, she is probably not at liberty to say, so she’s stuck between a rock and a hard place. Could she have answered it more nicely? Of course, but she’s probably just frustrated and sick of the whole thing.
That may be true and it makes a lot of sense. But, it doesn’t explain why she responded to Tamara the way she did. If she were having a bad day, she should have waited until she was in a more gracious mood to respond to the email, or not responded at all. It doesn’t cost her anything to be polite to someone who has supported her.
Wow, we should all tweet Kenya to apologize to TT. That’s just downright rude.
BTW, I made a donation at the Go FundMe site!
No we should not all tweet to Kenya. We should leave her alone and not make the situation worse.

I’m a Kenya Moore fan. I hope she mails the donation and I hope that she finds a husband, has a couple of bambinos and lives happily ever after.
Tamara, I’m so glad that I found your website. This website keeps me laughing out loud:)
IMO, Kenya truly cares about Kenya and her image and not one other goddamned thing.
IMO, Kenya is beautiful inside and out. If Tamara has forgiven Kenya for her rudeness, then so should we. We’ve all had bad days. If you don’t believe you have, ask your co-workers for their honest opinion of you. As for Kenya, slow down, take a deep breath, and before hitting send, walk away for a few minutes. #StillTeamTwirl
TT, you are a very classy lady. That’s all I have to say.
tamara, i NEVER am one to jump in the fray, but i just wanted to send you a thank you for all your hard work on this blog,and i hope you have a great day!
Not everyone on this blog is team twirl. Wouldn’t want Kenya to be mislead!
