Kenya Moore did a long and interesting interview on the Breakfast Club today. She starts out talking about the intruders on her property and why she pulled a gun on them. She has a Sig Sauer that she pointed at them for home protection. She has also purchased a small, concealable hand gun that she carries with her now.
She talked about dating on a reality show and in real life. Kenya says she is really a homebody who hangs out in sweats and likes to stay home and cook for her man. The guys call her out since she is carrying an Hermes alligator bag today. She says she mixes high end and low end fashion and claims she just bought “a little jacket” at Target.
She reminds us that Phaedra is the person who started all the nonsense about her paying men to be on the show as her boyfriend. She said it about Walter and it’s been a thing ever since.
She talks about their story lines after being asked if there is a lot of pressure from the producers to bring a compelling story line each season. She says no. (The actual answer is yes.) She says she generally has things going on in her life and she’s had a top story line for all five of her seasons. When asked about the other ladies she said she can’t speak for them but there was a lot of stuff this season that seemed unbelievable. Fun fact, I did a search for “Porsha fake” to pull up that link. One of the guys points out that Kenya has the highest rated episodes every season.
As for the Phaedra situation, Kenya says that she knew all of that would come out at the reunion. Kenya says that Kandi is the fan favorite of the show and always has been. I wonder what she is basing that on. Kenya says that it is a fact. She says that Phaedra was blindsided by Porsha and didn’t expect what Porsha came there to do.
The female DJ (I’m sorry I don’t know the names of these people even though I’ve watched several of the videos) says she thought Kenya and Porsha were going to be friends at first. Kenya said she did too, but Porsha continues to make odd comments about how she gets her money. The thing she said about Kenya wrecking her car and asking some man for money offended Kenya. She says she is a self-made millionaire who works hard and takes care of herself. She is in a very happy relationship now that she is trying to keep private. She says that people who make up crazy stories to damage the reputation of others should be fired. She is referring to Porsha. She says that Porsha took the loaded gun that Phaedra gave her and fired it at Kandi.
They mention that Phaedra is currently blaming the producer (they never say Carlos’ name) for telling her the things about Kandi. Kenya says that Phaedra is a liar. Phaedra told Porsha that Kandi herself told her that information. She says the producer can’t make her say that. I need to look at my timeline but I think that Carlos lost his job about the same time that Phaedra did. I’m just saying. So why is Porsha once again protected from any sort of consequences for her large role in all of this?
Kenya says that Phaedra has been saying slanderous things about her since came on the show. When the workout video thing happened, that is when Phaedra started saying that Kenya was an alcoholic and bipolar. She says she is not sure if Kandi is going to sue or not. Kenya says the truth is out there now and that might be enough for her. She is asked if it were her, would she sue and she says probably because she can be very petty at times. Kenya says she has sent people on the show cease and desist letters before. They started their next question while she was talking and didn’t follow-up on that like I wish the would have.
I love that Kenya says straight out that the ridiculous story about Nene getting $2.5 million dollars is not true. She also says she loves Nene and Nene did not put that figure out there. She says that the ratings held when Nene left and there would be no need to more than double her salary to entice her to return. About Kim Biermann she says, “Kim needs a check so Kim will be back.” She says Kim’s checks have been tardy lately. She says she was good with Kim until Sheree’s house-warming party. Kim came at her for talking about Sheree’s house. Kenya says Kim must have forgotten the way she talked about Kandi’s new house being in the ghetto and all the things she said.
Kenya was asked about working with Donald Trump on The Apprentice. That seemed to make her uncomfortable. She said it seems like he is the same on the show as he is as president and that he was tough but fair with her.
Kenya says that she knows how to push all the ladies’ buttons but she throws funny shade. She is not defaming people’s character or accusing them of crimes. She uses the cheap tile in the foyer of Chateau Sheree as an example. She says if you build a ten thousand square foot house and don’t put down marble floors, she’s going to have something to say about that.
I just hit some of the highlights. This is a really good interview and I recommend watch the entire thing.
The interview was good. My only thing is if I remember correctly Kenya was actually the one who first started saying that Porsha was sleeping with rich Africans and so forth. She said that on the show and made allusions to it many times. So she’s no better. She’s done the same things she’s accusing others of doing.
Porsha was married at the time certain people were making accusations about Kenya and Africans so no that’s incorrect.
Kenya did allude to it AFTER Porsha was divorced and accusations were already made. Porsha jumped on the phaedra bandwagon.
Tit for tat.
Kenya said it, end of story. It doesn’t matter if accusations were already made or who was married. I had also heard the rumors about Kenya that Porsha repeated. The point is it doesn’t make her look good to accuse me of the stuff she’s done herself.
Kenya was “provoked” into saying it. I also heard the rumors about Porsha that Kenya repeated. Your post stated Kenya said it first and NO she did not. Porsha jumped on phaedras lying accusations bandwagon. Don’t start none won’t be none. So Porsha should not have accused Kenya of doing something she done herself.
Jay, just admit you are not team twirl so no matter what Phaedra & Portia do, there’s always an excuse or an attempt to diminish their shady & in some cases ILLEGAL behavior.
I hope Kenya finds a good guy & has at least one child if that’s what she wants. #teamtwirl
“The point is it doesn’t make her look good to accuse me of the stuff she’s done herself.”?
Are you quoting someone, or did you just expose yourself?
An obvious typo Bugsy.
I’m not team twirl but whichever “team” you are you can still call people on their bullshit. For the record, I don’t think what Porsha did was any better (including the Kandy lies etc.) but it’s just not right for Kenya to act like she hasn’t done the same stuff and constantly mock how others make their money then get upset when it’s done to her.
@Bugsy, you’re so funny. I had to re-read the comment too, and yes, Porsha…I mean Jay did out herself. And anything she says after that is null and void.
Claudia said that. Claudia said that Porsha got drunk on a cast trip and when cameras were not rolling that she admitted it to Demetria and Claudia.
The difference is it was a well known truth about Porsha.
I have always been a fan of Kenya…I remember when she won her title, i was so happy to see a Black woman who looks like me win…kenya takes all the heat for what goes wrong on the show…even on blogs the topic does not have to be about her but it will turn into a hate Kenya Moore topic…i love the interview and wonder when will people get over the Walter thing from 5 yrs ago…most of them act like it affected their life personally.
Yes indeed. It was a good interview full of shady tea. I like Kenya better here than on reality TV. Nene isn’t worth 2.5 mill. Didn’t know Kenya had the highest rated shows this season. But she has Matt to thank for that.
Mrs Tattles, can you unblock my gmail address please and thank you!
I dunno, are you going to be good? Did you ever read the commenting rules?
Yes, I read them twice.
Then yes, go forth and sin no more. 🙂
Kenya looks very pretty in the photo, and she has made it all on her own, and even after having suffered the rejection of her mother. And when so many mothers would love to have Kenya as a daughter! Kenya always livens up the show and she is totally authentic, engaging and highly intelligent. I personally think Kenya is great and wish her every happiness!
Seems Kenya will always be hated because the whole fake flirting with Apollo touched a nerve with most of the viewing audience.
They see a beautiful woman play flirting with a married man which was ok in the beginning because she was pals with the wife. The wife tried to screw her financially because that’s what wife does well. They fall out.
Apollo doesn’t care he’s a dude dudes don’t do this type of drama.
It struck a nerve in everyone.
Remember when nene play flirted with peter?
Where was the outrage?
The reasons there weren’t any Cynthia and nene remained friends and nene is not pretty at all.
It may be ugly shaming but its the truth. We have been hardwired to be jealous or hate the pretty one.
Also, Nene was married to Greg. When a single woman goes in for a married man, that’s going to set off a lot of women. I don’t think she actually wanted Apollo but I do think she wanted Phaedra to think she could have him if she wanted him.
Yes I totally agree with you. Apollo didn’t help HIS case either claiming he could have Kenya if he wanted her that just fed into phaedras insecurity. I used to like phaedra but when she started the lies with Kenya i was disappointed because i thought she was was better than that.
Kenya was animated and funny in the clip from the Breakfast club. How come she ACTS quite differently on the RHOA?
How does she act different on RHOA? I shake my head at people like you who ask these silly questions. Its a scripted “reality” show. Obviously there are producers for a reason. #IrritatingQuestion
Kenya is really a together person and comfortable in her own skin. Her shade is the best. When she called Kim Z “Octomom” was the best. I still chuckle over that.
Thanks for sharing TT. RHOA reunion finale has being a talk at my work place for days, they are many passive viewers who are deceived by Phaedra and Porsha’s fakeness. Phaedra was sure blindsided by Porsha’s reactions because some folks fell for her game.
This was a great interview. I had a smile on my face most of the time. I hope Kenya is happy.
#noshame #teamtwirl
I always like Kenya’s interviews. She probably can’t talk about Trump because of an NDA lol.
Kenya is certainly entertaining, but I still don’t believe there was nothing authentic between Walter and her so storyline of her waiting for a proposal seemed made up. also, the way she so easily goes t0 calling out men she had a beef with directly or indirectly as gay is an example of defaming.
I try to forget that season one Kenya ever existed. She came in as someone she is not. Production really pushes for the Atlanta women to have an on camera relationship. That is why we have Walters and Todds. That is also why she stuck it out with Matt until filming was over despite the very real relationship going very wrong.
Maybe the new production crew will change that. They do not do that to the RHONY or RHOBH housewives.
