As The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 continues, a wave of support is building behind one of the show’s most iconic stars — Kenya Moore. After being suspended indefinitely last summer for her controversial behavior surrounding an alleged incident involving Brittany Eady, Kenya’s absence from the show has sparked a surge of fan outrage. Viewers are now more vocal than ever about wanting her back, with many expressing disappointment over her exclusion from the season.
This past Sunday, the latest episode of RHOA aired, featuring moments filmed last summer before Kenya’s suspension. The episode included a brief message from producers explaining Kenya’s departure, shedding light on the reasons for her removal from the cast. According to the show, Kenya’s actions — specifically, the unveiling of alleged oral sex posters involving Brittany Eady — led to her indefinite suspension.
Despite her absence, Kenya Moore has garnered an outpouring of support from fans and fellow cast members alike. Brandi Glanville and Claudia Jordan have both publicly backed Kenya after her suspension, with Shereé Whitfield even going as far as to say that the show feels like it’s “sinking” without her presence.
The controversy that led to Kenya Moore’s suspension revolves around an intense altercation with Brittany, in which Brittany allegedly referenced having a gun during their confrontation. While no gun was ever produced, Kenya’s decision to respond with the posters sparked an online firestorm, and many fans believe that Brittany’s actions deserve to be scrutinized as well. As a result, some are calling for Brittany’s removal from the show, just as they advocate for Kenya’s return.
The backlash against Kenya’s suspension has been palpable, especially with fans expressing frustration that the current season feels incomplete without her. One Twitter user, Carol Hoskins-Burks (@CHoskinsBurks), even launched a petition calling for the removal of Brittany Eady from the show and for Kenya to be reinstated immediately. The petition reads:
“WE PETITION TO HAVE THE REMOVAL OF #BrittanyEady FROM #RHOA IMMEDIATELY?? @Andy @Bravo and REINSTATE @KenyaMoore??”
With the fanbase rallying behind her, many are questioning whether RHOA can continue to thrive without one of its most dynamic stars. While there are still more episodes left in the current season, some viewers are already treating tonight’s episode as a de facto season finale due to the void left by Kenya’s absence.
As the drama unfolds, one thing is clear: Kenya Moore’s influence on RHOA is far from over. Fans are not ready to say goodbye just yet — and neither are the stars who’ve stood by her side. The future of RHOA might depend on whether Kenya Moore returns to the fold. Until then, her fans will continue to demand justice, hoping for a season 16 comeback.
