Real Housewives of AtlantaKenya Moore won't return to
Published on January 15, 2026 EDT Moore had previously shared explicit posters of newcomer Brittany Eady at the opening of Moore's hair spa.

Kenya Moore is not just Gone With the Wind fabulous. She's gone.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta stalwart has been let go from season 16 of the popular series, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed, after she stepped over the line with one of her trademark shady actions.

At the June 6 launch event for her Kenya Moore Hair Spa, the former Miss USA unveiled posters of new cast mate Brittany Eady allegedly performing oral sex, Page Six reported. Eady was not present at the event, and Moore was subsequently suspended from filming, pending an investigation.

"You will be seeing me," the reality star said during an Instagram Live at the time. "I'm not going anywhere despite all this stuff."

Turns out, we won't. Moore is out for good.

RHOA season 16, which is still filming, has already experienced some major shake-ups, with Sherée Whitfield, Marlo Hampton, and Kandi Burruss all exiting the franchise; meanwhile, Porsha Williams has returned in a starring role, leaving her as the only veteran among the cast.

Other Housewives include Drew Sidora, who joined the show in season 13, and fresh faces Eady, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley, and friend-turned-main-cast-member Shamea Morton Mwangi.

With all the drama buzzing around the new season, which still doesn't have a premiere date, maybe the RHOA will return to form. Or maybe it'll be a hot mess — which, come to think of it, is still a return to form.

Kenya shall be missed. Now, twirl away.
