Exclusive RHOA Tea: Kenya Moore Is Returning To RHOA!

May 6, 2019 by tamaratattles 69 Comments

Kenya Moore is returning to RHOAKenya Moore is returning to RHOA for the upcoming season. I’ve known this was probably happening for a bit; however, I didn’t want to confirm it until the contract was actually signed. Because, I wasn’t really sure it was happening. The contract negotiation phase went on forever last season between Kenya and Bravo and ended with Kenya deciding to walk away. So we’ve been hearing rumors for a while but now it is confirmed.

This does not guarantee Kenya a peach. The contract she signed is a per episode contract. But, at this point I’m told the peach is there for her to take. Or lose. And both Bravo and Kenya are happy with the deal .I feel confident she will get the peach. But, I am always hesitant until it actually happens.

I am once again hearing that Eva Marcille’s peach isn’t completely locked in. This is the similar to last year when they couldn’t decide between Tanya Sam and Shamari Devoe. Ultimately, they went with Shamari and lived to regret it. This season, if they aren’t happy with Eva they have Tanya on the back burner to take her peach.

Meanwhile, the Nene Leakes problem persists. The only person who wants Nene on the show is the bravo suit who makes the decisions. As I previously mentioned, production is dropping like flies. The showrunner from last season doesn’t have it in her to spend another five months or so with Nene. So she left when Nene was picked up. They are hoping to hire a new one some time this week. Good Luck with that.

STUNNING!

What’s Nene’s Story?

The talent executive at Truly Original is trying to hammer out everyone’s storylines. While four of the RHOA have a baby storyline, no one wants to film with Nene. Also, Nene doesn’t fit into anyone’s story. Nene also doesn’t have a story of her own. No one knows what to do with her. BECAUSE, she should have been fired. Now, after insulting and assaulting everyone, Nene says she is prepared to go on an apology tour. I am not sure anyone is interested in Nene’s fake apologies.

So production is supposed to start this month. And everything is a hot mess. Like it or not, Porsha Williams will be the primary focus of the season. She’s got a lot going on. Kandi Burruss has her surrogacy storyline. Eva Marcille is pregnant again! Kenya has her baby. It’s going to be a very baby-centric season.

So who do you think will crack and film with Nene Leakes? Cynthia? Kandi? Will it be like RHOBH this season with everyone on the outs with one cast member? Who knows? First things first. This circus needs a ringmaster. Until they get a show runner for this season, the show can’t go on.

And how excited are you that Kenya Moore is returning to RHOA?

    Yay, Kenya is back!

    Nay, Nene is still stinking up the joint.

    Oooh, Tanya may get a peach.

    Ugh, Eva may lose her peach.

    I guess I’ll be watching RHOA again next season, but they really need to stop condoning violence, once and for all.

        Who is HeHe and I hope you aren’t trying to call her a man as an insult. Honestly, calling people by nicknames is so immature I am always surprised when adults do this.

        Yay Kenya is back I cannot wait to see her on my tv again. What a mistake Bravo made last season. Another mistake by keeping Nene.

        TT I hope you address the news about Jenelle bc honestly yours is the only opinion I really care about or trust. I hope I don’t get in trouble saying that. I apologize if I broke a rule. I was going to email you but I’m guessing you have a full inbox about the situation. I’m suspicious of the news it seems murky.

    Excited Kenya is coming back.
    Because … Kenya … and because she will now have seen NeNe’s nasty remarks at Cyn’s event. One more against NeNe.

    Exulted that Phaedra will not be back.
    Because … Phaedra … and because NeNe didn’t get her way. And because a potential alliance with NeNe has been quashed. (Notice Quashed, not Squashed.)

    Appalled that NeNe is returning. Especially at the rate she is paid. She should have been fired when she made the Uber/[email protected] “joke.” She should have been ARRESTED for knocking out a production member’s tooth, sending him to the hospital. I am surprised that risk management hasn’t cut NeNe out of the mix.

    Thank you Tamara for the delicious hot tea!

      You cannot be surprised that risk management hasn’t cut NeNe! We are talking wig-snatching RHOA…the show where Porsha assaulted Kenya at a reunion, where Sheree grabbed Kim’s wig, where NeNe lunged for Kim on an RV ride, where Porsha called Cynthia a b*tch and Cynthia eventually kicked her, and I haven’t watched in several seasons so I’m sure I’m missing some!! ;-p

    Will somebody please explain to me why Nene is still on the show? Does her egregious behavior increase ratings? Does exploitation of Gregg’s illness increase ratings? Does Nene have dirt on a powerful Bravo exec? Is her contract for several years long and cannot be broken? Does she still have a fan base so strong that it would not be wise for Bravo to get rid of her? Is Bravo waiting for an opportunity to film her breaking down to the point of no return and being carted off to a psychiatric hospital? I’m serious, y’all. Even if I liked Nene, I would have these questions.

RHOA is good money plus it’s quite a platform to branch off in big time money making ventures. HELLO?? Al la, Kandi. Bethenny Frankel, Vanderpump et al. Love it or hate it APPARENTLY she ain’t tryna miss the opportunity if presented. Kenya’s haters on this blog and RHOA always tried to hit her with Faketra’s BS; Kenya has scrambled eggs, She can’t get a man. She’s got bad skin. She’s stealing folks jailbird husbands, She has a fake husband. She’s faking her pregnancy(HELLO TT) Look at #TeamTwirl now??? She has Marc, Brooklyn a beautiful home and her dreams are reality. #TeamTwirl #Winning #WontHeDoit

    I think that everyone will film with Nene eventually except for Porsha. Porsha doesn’t need Nene this season and Nene is too jealous to offer an apology that isn’t qualified in some way. Porsha will call her on it. Cynthia is a sucker for Nene and Kandi gives everyone another chance.

    All that money they paying Nene could go to Shamari and Yovanna honestly. Bravo knows the ratings would do good with just Porsha, Kandi, Cynthia, Kenya, Tanya, Eva, Shamari and Yovanna. Also with Marlo and Phaedra, the ratings would be more than good.

She has Marc & the new baby after waiting so long for it. Hate the idea of her risking her new found happiness for reality television. She is strong proud & fabulous. I wish her the best.

    I couldn’t stand Kenya when she first came on the show, but she actually really grew on me, even tho I only sporadically watch RHOA really. Glad she’s at least getting like what, a part-time peach, to start with. Tamara, both pictures you chose of Kenya are simply marvelous – as usual, excellent choices! I’m so happy she finally was able to get her dream baby (even tho I still may have a few lingering questions there – ha ha – what with that weird prolonged gestational period or whether there might have been a surrogate or not – who knows, I don’t even care – she looks radiant and it’s clear she adores her little one). So yeah, YAY! Kenya’s coming back and I hope she gets a full-time peach at some point soon. I will echo others as well – I wish whomever that executive-woman is that has the crush on NeNe would suddenly get offered a job on the other side of the planet and someone else would take over and show that evil witch who has ZERO to offer this show to the door – she is the main reason I just cannot stand to watch RHOA anymore. I feel so sorry for Gregg, even tho maybe he made some mistakes along the way, but no one deserves to be treated that horribly and publicly humiliated by his wife like he has been, not just on the show, but on social media too. She is HIGHLY overrated on talent, seems strung out on something (not sure what) constantly, and is one of the most hateful women on television. Hope Kenya rocks this next season and hope we get to see a little bit more of her little one on the show too – I’ll just record the show and FF past anything related to that train wreck witch, NeNe, next season.

    Never has the saying ‘to burn all your bridges’ been more apt, except perhaps when the Russians burned their own bridges in WWII so the Germans couldn’t. Nene really makes a dumpster fire of every relationship she has. I often feel for the poor souls unfortunate enough to call themselves Bryson’s Baby Mama. I bet she gives them hell.

    I can’t wait to see all Kenya is up to, and I hope she is just herself. Not Switched On Kenya. I don’t care for her.

      I think that Frankenstein is starting to get that all the problems for season 12 are her fault. When the showrunner walked (AGAIN) leaving her to be the monster whisperer and no one for the monster to film with while she eats up a large portion of the budget … I think Frankenstein is having buyers remorse. Like when you are drunk at an auction and end up way over paying for something you liked until the next day when you sobered up and it was already at your house.

    It will be interesting to see if Phaedra shows up to Porsha’s upcoming sip and see. I think it’s one of the first big filming events of the upcoming season and Porsha said she’ll be there so I guess we just have to wait and ?. This is probably the only franchise in the series that has so much mess going on behind the scenes and can’t pick a solid cast before filming.

She pretends to have this sphere of influence in Hollywood but this is not the case. She’s not a credible actress or producer LMAO. What happened to Life Twirls On? I thought a major network was supposed to pick up? See talks a good game but can’t ever deliver.
