After weeks of those closest to Kenya Moore begging her to get a restraining order against Matt Jordan, she has finally done it. It seems the recent attack on Peter Thomas in Charlotte was the tipping factor that finally made Kenya see that she that she could be in danger. Also, Matt has been posting and deleting libelous Instagram posts that make it clear he has a lot of rage directed toward her. Yesterday, Kenya filed the formal paperwork that was obtained by Rodney Ho of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Kenya listed many episodes of violent behavior, but it is hardly a comprehensive list of the problems. Here are the highlights she chose to include in her petition.
- In the spring of 2016, all to the major renovations of Moore Manor were completed. RHOA was set to begin filming season 9 in June, she was also booked to film Worst Cooks in America in NYC in early June, and Kenya wanted to take some R & R before her schedule got hectic. Matt was spending most of his time at Moore Manor and by all appearances, things looked peaceful. The truth was they were anything but. Matt had already been having tantrums and getting thrown out of hotels when traveling with Kenya. He clearly needed some lessons from Gregg Leakes on how to stand back and hold the handbag. Kenya hoped the Mexico trip would be a reset and get them on the same page before their relationship was back under the hot RHOA cameras. That did not happen. Matt busted down the door to her room after Matt’s angry outbursts left her fearful. She left Mexico without speaking to Matt and returned home on her own. At baggage claim, Matt allegedly took her suitcase and left with her luggage. While the petition doesn’t mention the events that happened out of the country, she does report that upon returning to her home, Matt arrived and began throwing Kenya’s belongings from her suitcase out on to the driveway while cursing at her. She called 911 but he left before the police arrive. She opted not to press charges. This was in the first week of June 2016, it was their first official breakup. It did not last long. Matt became very contrite, apologized profusely and Kenya forgave him.
- In August Matt became aggressive again when the petition states, “broke a garage door glass window and the rear window of [Moore’s] vehicle and [Jordan] was seen on video spray painting some of the home security cameras.” Kenya sought advice from her father and he came to talk to Matt. That scene was filmed and did not go well. Eventually, Matt apologized and Kenya forgave him.
- According to the petition, two weeks later one of Kenya’s neighbors called 911, ” because [Jordan] was throwing items at [Moore’s] house, breaking windows, while he was on the phone with [Moore] yelling at her.” I don’t think I knew about this one.
- The petition states that between September 2016 and February 2017, Jordan called Moore up to 30 times a day. Kenya blocked his number in February continued getting calls from an unknown number all hours of the night.
- Unable to speak to Kenya by phone, Matt began spiraling out of control and posting slanderous diatribes on Instagram stating Kenya needs to pay him for being her storyline (as if any woman wants abuse to be a storyline) and expressing anger over not being invited to the reunion. At some point during filming Matt’s involvement in RHOA was limited by production. He was not allowed to go on the trip to Maui though my sources indicate that Kenya was open to him going on the trip. He was deemed unsafe to travel with the group according to my exclusive sources.
- Around March 20, Jordan told a friend of Moore’s that she was going to “get what she deserves” and that he was going to “get” her, the petition said. She felt like she had a “reasonable fear” for her life.
Rodney Ho, says that Kenya has requested that the court serve an immediate order of restraint “to stop harassing and intimidating [Moore] and her immediate family, have zero contact with her and stay 200 yards away from her and her home, and receive appropriate psychiatric or psychological services.”
Kenya has, up until Matt assaulted Peter Thomas, avoided taking any action toward Matt. Maybe she was afraid to do anything, maybe she was trying to protect him or both. Peter had no problem pressing charges on Matt and there were three warrants filed for his arrest over the incident in Charlotte. The last time I am aware of that Kenya and Matt were in the same room was Thanksgiving when Kandi and Todd hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for friends and family at the OLG restaurant. Kandi invited Kenya and Todd invited Matt. They did not attend together and ate at different tables. However, there were no reported incidents. Kenya was eerily protective of Matt in interviews in January. Because I was aware of a lot of aggression from Matt in the relationship, I was disturbed by her public conversations about him. I get that she is not allowed to spoil the season, but she still seemed to be carrying feelings for Matt. I was also concerned that because housewives have to publicly live in the past, it would be seen as mixed messages by Matt.
So here we are, I think even those who actively troll Kenya online should be able to see that Matt is a threat to Kenya’s safety. I’m glad to hear that she finally did something to protect herself. I hope Matt gets the message loud and clear and gets the rehab and therapy that he clearly needs before someone else gets assaulted.
Also yesterday, Kenya’s RHOA blog was posted and she addressed the disturbing scene with Matt.
It’s painful to watch myself at my age tolerating such foolishness from anyone. I am ashamed. I focused so hard on breaking old habits of not running away when things get tough. Yet, this relationship was the exact scenario. I should have run away as fast as humanly possible. If a man is capable of damaging your property, calling you out of your name, threatening you, tells you that you will die unhappy and alone – but in the same breath begs you to stay with him – RUN. I pray that other women take away that reprehensible behavior from a man is never acceptable. There is no excuse for abuse.
I am thankful to have moved on from what seems like a lifetime ago. My circle is completely different now. I do not now or will ever have any communication with him. I do not wish harm on anyone and hope that he can move on with his life and leave me completely alone.
I feel like Kenya tried to be open to a relationship with Matt and stuck with it because she usually moves on when things happen that trigger her. This time she tried staying and her instinct to run was actually correct. I imagine he wall is up higher than ever at this point.
Here is hoping Matt gets the help he needs and rebuilds his life. Hopefully, far, far away from Atlanta.
Rodney Ho of the AJC was the first to break this story. Please check out his report.
Wow, I feel for Kenya. I’m so glad she did something. I didn’t want this to end up with a tragedy that could have been prevented.
I really like Kenya and at first , I was very happy when I thought Matt was a good guy. I am so glad Kenya has taken this step. I hope she stays safe. Glad she is armed as well . At this point she has to take every precaution.
I hope he does not go after her for this and I hope she has protection. I have always liked Kenya. She is my favorite person to RHOA because she is the only housewife who can laugh at herself, she is very intelligent and successful, down to earth and really wants to be a good person. She has a lot of common sense. I hope she gets some counseling, because I think a lot of this breaks down to her mother. I think Kenya still carries shame from her mother’s rejection. I will be praying for her.
I’m sorry Bravo put you ladies in a position to stay in harmful relationships. Take your time, the right guy is out there.
For the number of stories Bravo has had about abusive relationships, there seems to be no visible improvement. I should give them credit for stopping future filming with him, but the signs were apparent last season.
Ladies cannot fix men and if a lady could he would leave after all the hard work was done. He will leave because now he can get a better woman.
In his mind a better woman. A woman he never has to look at and feel shame of past behaviors or knows him as he was.
I do have mixed feelings about this, no person should ever put their safety at risk ever. There is equal amount of evidence of Kenya praising matt between violent incidents. Plus – Kenya is making excuses to see matt, the dogs birthday?
Abuse is abuse, Kenya needs to respect herself and understand abuse and not worry that she doesn’t have a storyline for RHOA.
I am surprised it is a temporary restraining order, I am also disappointed that kenya doesn’t respect herself enough to do this for herself, not based on violence with Peter.
Hopefully Kenya will get counselling, abuse can fuck with emotions and decisions.
I think you’re putting too much of the onus on Kenya and not enough on Matt. Her storyline not withstanding, no one is responsible for Matt’s behavior but Matt.
I am basing my observation on, Kenya constantly taking matt back with zero improvement on Matt’s part, and the fact that Kenya continues contact with matt even though matt is abusing her. And the last thing, she is having sex with her ex.
At some point in this relationship, it was clear that abuse exists,whether it is emotional/physical etc. And Kenya keeps matt in the picture and says Matt is the “best that Atlanta has to offer”.
Many abused women stay with abuser’s, and many blame the abuser for the decision to stay, but in reality Kenya’s insecurities take over and instead of taking a beat, she runs after matt.
In order for matt to return, there has always been contact from Kenya first. Kenya isn’t even getting this temp. restraining order based on her safety, she is basing it on Peter.
it bothers me that a strong confident woman changes for a man and accepts abuse. Abused people require counselling and peace, not a camera.
“In order for matt to return, there has always been contact from Kenya first. Kenya isn’t even getting this temp. restraining order based on her safety, she is basing it on Peter.”
This is one of many ridiculous statements. There was not contact from Kenya first. Matt always shows up tail between his legs with flowers and an apology which he barely ever gets through without blaming Kenya . Matt’s violence is ESCALATING. As we saw when he drove FOUR HOURS TO ABUSE PETER. That was the influence that made Kenya realize she was in grave danger.
And for the record, you comments on this subject are EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE to those of us who have been in these situations. If we weren’t friends, I’d probably ban you for them. Since we are, I’m going to point out than unless you have ever been a woman abused by a man you should probably find another topic on which to express your opinions because on this subject you are ill informed and actually sound like an abuser.
women have abused men . count me as one of them
I’m sorry to hear that. This is not that situation.
I’m sorry as well. Shameful that we sometimes forget, anyone can be victimized.
Amen, TT. I’m sick of people talking about abuse from a rational perspective, just like I probably did at one time.
Nothing about abuse is rational. Abuse isn’t immediate. It’s like being in a pot of hot water that slowly begins to boil before you realize it and then you trick yourself into saying that it’s not so bad and hope that it will cool down, and it does; but not for long, and the cooler water is still painfully fucking hot, but your perspective has now changed. So you deal. You deal the best you can. That’s what we call denial. Rationally, denial sounds foolish, but is how we preserve our self-image, even though it’s maladaptive.
The biggest lie we tell ourself, “I’m not the kind of person who gets abused. I’m too strong and smart to put up with an abusive deadbeat. That would NEVER happen to ME!” Until it does… until it already has, over and over.
I don’t know Kenya, but I’d almost guarantee that one of her greatest sources of pride is her strength. When you are finally able to admit that you’ve accepted an abusive relationship, and that you doubled down on it repeatedly, it rocks everything, truly to your core. You have to admit to yourself that you’re not who you thought you were. That alone is huge–a long and bumpy road you have to travel by yourself.
Did Kenya ever send mixed messages? Probably, but it was out of desperate hope that things would get better, not to toy with Matt.
In addition to the abusers’ constant mind games, the abused play mind games on themselves, too. This denial, whether it be out of hope, fear, pride, or basic necessity is so you can make it through another day, another fit of rage, until you’re finally ready to accept the situation as it really is: You’re in an abusive relationship. You’re a victim. You, of all people.
I also understand why it took the incident with Peter to finally motivate her into getting the restraining order. I’d never considered divorce until I thought about my nieces and realized that I’d be devastated for either of them to end up in a relationship like mine. That was a lightbulb moment because I’d fooled myself into thinking that I was so strong and forgiving, but once I stepped out of myself and saw from another perspective, it was crystal clear. But when you’ve been emotionally worn down, you stopping thinking rationally about your own best interest.
When it comes to abuse, there are so many ways it can affect people, as we’ve seen with Kenya, Sheree, and Eileen from BH. While it’s easy for some to make judgements from a “rational” perspective, it’s certainly not enlightened to do so.
Right you are, TT. Out of this terrible situation, one good thing emerged, which is Kenya’s wise conclusion, which would make a valuable national slogan: “There is no excuse for abuse.”
You couldn’t have said it better!!
You’re blaming her for being affected by abuse? Seriously??? You don’t seem to understand what it does to your thinking, your self esteem, your physical health…it can have profound effects.
And I just read your more recent comment. My apologies. I assumed you had never experienced it given what seemed to me a lack of understanding about it.
Again I say though, no one but Matt is responsible for his behavior. We have no idea whether or not Kenya is recieving counseling and therefore should not assume.
I believe that Kenya does truly care about him, but I also believe many of her decisions are learned behavior based on her past exposure to abusive relationships. She clearly did not want to flood his criminal record with charges as to not make him angrier and to not make him unemployable/undesirable to another woman so that he was able to just move on from Kenya. That’s how people act when they’re backed into a corner. This is not at all odd to me–it’s survival mode. She appeases him in an attempt to keep him calm because he so easily flys into anger fits on his own. NB: the only time you see Kenya interact with Matt is when she is surrounded by a camera crew and production staff. She probably feels much safer expressing herself to him more honestly in those moments.
I would bet that Kenya beats herself up everyday for getting into another abusive relationship. She doesn’t need anyone else piling on and blaming her for a grown man’s actions.
My understanding of temporary restraining orders is that they’re granted immediately without a hearing when the petitioner can show an emergency situation in which they need immediate protection. They’re granted while the hearing on the restraining order is pending, to protect the petitioner from retaliation during that process.
Thank God she did this. It could not have been easy for her to do (IMO) because 1.) she always wanted to help Matt & propel his life, 2.) I assume she thought it would never escalate to a point she couldn’t handle, and 3.) she still cares about him in some way. She has accepted that Matt needs help that she cannot provide.
Matt getting Kennya’s luggage from baggage claim? Mexico have to go through US Customs. He had the claim tickets to take the luggage? Something screwy there.
Glad she finally got a restraining order. about time. Obviously he is using “burner phones” so he can’t be traced.
Hope he stays gone.. but think he will show up somewhere and one of bolo’s will be executed.
ATL used to have a really weird customs situation. You would claim your luggage and then go through customs and then recheck it and pick it up at the regular luggage claim.
However, I read that when they opened the new terminal it didn’t work that way. I almost never check luggage, I think I did on on my last trip to Paris because I was gone so long, but I can’t remember. I do remember struggling with getting luggage over the turnstyle after taking the train from the airport. I do not remember having any issues with customs on my return, in fact I was in love with the new International terminal. In the past we had to transport our own luggage to the second check in. I remember now because I had a driver waiting for me, I did pick up luggage from the baggage claim after customs. Anyone on that flight pr others landing in the same time frame could have picked up my luggage. Matt was on the same flight but Kenya changed his seat. Probably to coach. lol. Actually I am not sure if she could do that even buying the tickets but I know the tickets were changed so they did not sit together for the flight.
Just an FYI- I just got back from Paris, though I fly into chicago and you go through customs, then pick up your luggage and walk right out…it would be easy to take another person’s luggage. Can’t speak to Atlanta…
Oh I want to fly somewhere. I become so excited for days before leaving, love loading up to leave and the excitement grows as I enter the airport grounds.
The terminals make me want to twirl in thankful anticipation. I’ve checked my bag, have my early boarding pass and am smiling at everyone. Love seeing the international travelers, business people, students care free with a backpack. I always dress nicely a little understated but I spend money on travel cloths.
Think my excitement shows because people smile and visit. Now the 2nd best moment boarding. Omg love love the walkway, longer the better. I hold back on the urge to run, nodding at each attendant I see. Finally it’s there, the big deal, the planes entry door, angels are singing, I’m free. I greet the attendants and maybe a caption. I get so excited if the captain is there.
I usually have the seat I want and settle in.
Now the biggest high of all, take off. My God I love the roar of the engines powering up, louder the better, the pull of the power, the bumpy ride down the run way and then I am flying.
I am flying.
Take off is better than a lot of the sex I’ve had.
You should be a travel writer! I agree with all except for the last sentence.
Ever flown out of Palm Springs Airport? That’s a bumpy ride!
No never flew to Palm Springs but thank you for the idea. Be a quick few night get away for me.
Lucky Lady, requarding last comment!
I relate to a lot of this, as I LOVE AIRPORTS, but not the security line. That said, the days before I can’t stand packing. I never have the right things to take, the task seems overwhelming, I get anxiety about leaving Banjo, whether his sitter will actually show up, I have horrific meltdowns where people have to convince me I can get up, shower, pack and get to the airport. I swear my anxiety is too bad to go, and then, finally once packed an in the car, especially the nice limo I had last time, I relax with a drink and exhale know that I did it and it is actually happening. Then I usually have zero anxiety until I get home.
I pack very light and get annoyed when I need to pack more due to evening or ?events I have to attend.
Last time I gave my gown to the maid, kept my rhinestone shoes thou. Haha
OMG I hate hate getting ready to travel, dont sleep the night before, worry the whole time, and then once am on the plane or in the car I am fine. I also get anxiety about leaving my animals, and also what if something happens to my family when I am gone, what do i do then? Once I am gone it is better, and I really love going places, so go figure. I think this is one of the reasons I have not been on a cruise even though I know I would love it. What if something happens to my mom and I am on a BOAT in the middle of the OCEAN?
Back to the original topic, this is sad and scary and hope it ends with Matt ending up in jail and not someone getting hurt. and since you mentioned it, TT, it makes me miss Gregg Leakes.
This was long over due !
PS – Has anyone watched Real Housewives of Toronto and Sydney yet ? Boy ! those are some doozies
Where are they showing? What channel?
Toronto is on Slice and Sydney on Arena Foxtel but they have them online, but geo blocked 🙁
These shows are just crazy and the women are so over the top !
Still I must say the Toronto women are very polite even in their insults lol
I’m watching the Real Housewives of Cheshire online. Must see tv!
I knew from his first scene on RHOA that he was off his rocker. Unfortunately, I hope she beefs up her security because this is going to set him off. This is scary!!
I haven’t flown internationally for a long time. But when I was getting my baggage out of the baggage claim area someone would ask for claim checks and also ask for an ID to get my bags out.
Thanks TT!
Never in my life flying into and out of any country have I been asked for a claim check or an ID to collect my bags.
Glad you never went through it.
Wow! I’m really proud of her. I was always too scared to do that even though I knew it was the right thing to do. I didn’t trust the system at all. So many conflicting emotions when you go through that kind of terrorism. It’s really traumatic. I’m not a Kenya fan but I truly feel for her and what she’s going through. It’s such a horrible feeling and reading T’s timeline and occurances brought back those old memories of fear and despair. She is in my thoughts and prayers. And he is too because he obviously needs prayers as well. It’s so sad because it seems to me that they are two people who are desperately seeking love. She’s tried so hard the best way she knew how and he did the same the best way he knew how. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I can truly relate to and understand why she tried and kept giving him chances. And I can see his pain and hurt as well, which I’m sure Kenya saw and felt also. Prayers for them both, as well as others in their situation.
I suspect this was not her first abusive relationship and that she thought she could get him to somehow break up with her to lesson the impact. Unfortunately, he wasn’t about to let her simply walk away, so this restraining order…Which doesn’t do much in the moment…Is the only thing she could do, knowing that ROs tend to make abusers angrier.
Here’s hoping he gets picked up on Peter’s charges and can’t make bail. I also hope Kenya either stays in a hotel for a while or has someone live with her until he is arrested.
I’m really surprised he hasn’t been arrested yet. Who would help him out, and why aren’t they figuring it out? Maybe not priority? Hmm.
Unfortunately since he hadn’t killed anyone, he’s not a priority. Hopefully folks will tip off police as to his whereabouts.
GOOD.
As for Todd, he’s pot stirring behind the scenes with these party invitations like he still works for production. Not a good look at all. I can’t believe Kandi tolerates this because she has kept above drama that doesn’t involve her for all her 8 seasons.
Little Todd invited Walter to Kandi & Todd’s housewarming a few seasons back. He invited Apollo’s fiancé to the OLG next ep. He’s inviting Matt, who assaulted someone outside Sports One this same season, to a party too? TF is his problem? Taking tips from Peter.
As far as I know Thanksgiving was not filmed. Kandi invited Kenya because she is single. Todd did the same thing. Todd was friends with Matt at the time. You can’t expect Todd to know the extent of the situation that Kandi probably didn’t even know. Also, it was a large group in a public place. Todd was not going attack Kenya in public, he generally saves that for when he is alone. And if he did there were plenty of men there to defend them.
This is really Sad, the Rhoa franchise had an opportunity to do something great here and now this young man who Obviously has anger issues and most likely for a while…now is going to get lost in the shuffle and come out worst than when he got in, so sad. I understand when there’s no money ppl can’t get the psychological help they need But as soon as Bravo knew that there were deep rooted issues with this man, they could’ve stepped in and said “Look Matt, we can’t film you anymore this season because you have abusive tendencies that show to Escalate, We can put you into counseling but you must complete it by such date and we will re-instate you..other than that you are off the show ….no exceptions”.
Once we reinstate you, you must keep going to counseling for the duration of the show..
I believe if more and more businesses take this kind of approach “we can save many lives” but it’s too bad that the only thing that matters is “milking ppl to no end until they fall”….
My understanding is that they did something similar to that prior to the Maui trip. I believe he was told he had to comply with certain things to go on the trip. He did not. I was not told what the requirements were, but I know some were placed on him. He may have done something but not enough because he was allowed to attend the finale. Or at least Kenya brought him. He may have been turned away because I saw a piece of production footage that was circulating this week and I did not see him. But it was mainly of Kim Zoliciak coming hard for Kenya for point out that Sheree’s house was not finished and all the housewives gathering around. Not sure what happened there. He may have been asked to leave at the door, he may have been allowed to stay but had to stay with the contractors invited who were not on camera or even near the filming, or he may have been in some shots and removed, or we may see him. I’m thinking the last episode was meant to be a wrap on Matt and likely filmed after the Sheree’s housewarming to give closure to the relationship arc.
The best part of the production roll was that CYNTHIA brought up in her talking head that Sheree doesn’t have any appliances at all in her kitchen. CYNTHIA! lol. I was wondering if they were going to digitally add some appliances to make the housewarming seem more reasonable. And Kenya brings up the mold in the basement.
Cgi on kitchen appliances…maybe baseboards.. LOL
Why does Kim hate on Kenya so much? If she was in sheree’s house she knows it’s not finished. Was that just Kim trying to get her season 10 paycheck?
Kim sounds so abnoxious in the preview. Did she and Kenya have a past? I also wondered what is the story there….?
Oofffffff am so glad she owned that she should have left way before. I’ve been in tons of relationships, one abusive and I left the 2nd time. The other men, as amazing or terrible as they may have been, would never be violent, ever. Once is too much and more than once is a pattern. I feel for her, trying to make it work – I just got married at close to 40 and it meant many years of deep loneliness, but violence – never worth it.
Terrifying, I hope he stays away from her and fades away and she can move on from this scary situation.
Good for her, it was long overdue. If a man go into rage on camara, i wonder what he’s doing to kenya in private. Matt is so immatured, worst than a 15yrs old boy. Kenya better be careful, before he ruin her professionally and personally all in the name of love.
I always thought it was bs when she says oh I just want to be friends. Why? You do not need him as a friend. What for? You go out and just have a coffee together? Find someone else for that. Just let him go. Cut him off and stop sending mixed signals by shagging him in the car. I hope she follows this RO through, but I wouldn’t put my life savings on it.
If you’ve never been in a co dependent relationship, you’re lucky. Watch big little lies, amazing representation of the “why didn’t she leave” situation. But the whole, “let’s be friends” thing is classic behavior.
Bingo. I know trying the “friend” route. Several reasons why that behavior seems to make sense at the time, although it’s completely irrational.
I can’t speak for Kenya, but in my situation(s) the whole lets be friends thing is a baby step beyond wishing your ex all the best. Abusive guys have a much harder time leaving if they think you want them to go or you are ending things. Even in normal relationships, “let’s stay friends is often lip service” that means “no harm no foul see you never.” With abusers it’s a way to placate them so they feel like you still want to be around them.
I was in one unhealthy, co dependent relationship in my early 20’s and we could not let each other go – we did the “let’s be friends” thing for close to 2 years – longer than our relationship. It just meant drama, pain, lots of angry sex until finally I called it – I realized I was never moving on with him at all in my life. Sam and Ron on jersey shore had this dynamic (though he, too, displayed violence toward her possessions, at minimum). It’s just that co dependent dynamic and the “let’s be friends” cover is classic. If there aren’t kids involved, there’s no reason to be friends, and I learned that after and never went down that path again. Her bringing him to the dog party was incredibly telling and sad. In my case, I’d love if I could maintain some sort of relationship with this ex, he’s the one that haunts me and I know could ruin my life.
So true! Kidman’s therapy scenes have done an amazing job of telling the journey of a woman who goes from accepting responsibility for her husbands actions and only wanting tools to fix it, to slowly realizing that she–a smart, educated, accomplished, has everything woman–is a victim.
It’s the best representation of domestic abuse I’ve ever seen on camera.
I agree. It’s like uncomfortable as if your eavesdropping on her. I’m so sad Sunday is the final episode.
I’m going to worry about her until he is in jail or accounted for. He’s a loose cannon running from the law.
So will I.
I am surprised and shocked that Kenya as strong and capable as she is didn’t act sooner! Show or no show!! ? Sometimes Dads do know best !! She should have listened to her papa!
The fact that she is seemingly so strong and capable is probably a big reason why it took her this long.
For a long time, she probably finished the seriousness of it while simultaneously thinking that she was strong enough to handle it. It’s painful enough to admit that you’re a victim and much worse for those who self-identify as too strong and too smart to ever be involved in an abusive relationship.
The amount of pride you have to swallow to finally acknowledge that you’re a victim can be devastating. Realizing you’re not the person you thought you were changes your whole foundation. You go through a period of not knowing how to see or interact with the world, or even yourself.
No doubt she’ll be questioning herself for a while about why it took so long, but hopefully she’ll be kind to herself and realize that she was doing the best she could at the time and learn tools that will allow her to reach a stronger, happier future.
Unfortunately a TRO is just a piece of paper and might mean nothing to Matt. I hope Kenya has hired security guards and sends the bill to Bravo.
Why should Bravo foot the bill?
This is not Bravo’s fault or Kenya’s fault. This is the fault of a grown man named Matt.
Because Bravo want storylines with relationships and has the season mapped out. It could be the case Kenya is long over Matt but still has filming obligations with him. If true, Bravo needs to pay for bodyguards to protect Kenya. If blaming the victim refers to me, you are wrong.
I hate reading in 2017 people blaming the victim. I wish Kenya the best and I hope she finds love from someone worth it. I always liked her and couldn’t understand why men weren’t lining up to be with her. It’s sad that he is such an unstable person.
I wasn’t going to comment on this post. But now I just have to say, “AMEN, lillibeesite!”
I’m appalled that people, WOMEN especially, are still so quick to blame the victim. Just goes to show we really haven’t come that far in respect to situations like these. I dare say we may be going backwards. It boggles the mind. Kenya is probably in more danger now than ever since filling the TRO. She will be in my prayers, along with millions of others in this same situation who don’t have the money, resources, support, or public platform that is afforded to Kenya. This subject affects people across all socioeconomic lines and is one of the many issues our country and society have epically failed in, no matter which side of the aisle you sit on politically. Not to mention all of the children who are at risk because of it. Smdh
Rant over.
Why do you think it is that men are not lining up to be with her?
Why do you assume they are not?
I don’t know because she is a natural beauty, in great shape as well as a hard worker. She owns her own complete home, seems fun to be around, loyal in friendships and intelligent as well as educated. If one of my sons were to bring home a woman like her as thier girlfriend I would be delighted. She is a catch. Men can be intimidated by someone like her.
Every time I look at the picture I focus on the clock and think of quaaludes. My bad.
Oh Lord!!Thought I had random thoughts, LOL. 🙂
lol it’s because of the time on the clock ?
But, yes, definitely random thoughts! The crazy sets in when I’m stuck inside from storm and bored. It will pass, thankfully.
