#RHOA Cynthia Bailey Pissed Over Kenya Moore’s Secret Wedding and Open To Phaedra Parks Returning!
Cynthia Bailey was persona non grata at Kenya Moore’s quickie island wedding this past June and she’s not happy!
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, did not receive an invitation to Moore’s summer nuptials and the former model is pissed off.
“I’m a really, you know, good friend of Kenya’s,” Cynthia tells ET. “But I did not know that she was getting married. Now, I definitely didn’t know that, and I was definitely a little pissed off about that. Like, I would’ve loved to have been there. I feel like, I’ve been through a lot with Kenya and her relationships and this is the good stuff that’s happening right now. Like, she met this great man and they’re getting married. I’m like, hello! I’ve been through the bad ones with you. Can I please be a part of this amazing guy that you’re in love with?”
Despite not being deemed worthy enough to snag a wedding invite from the former Miss USA — Cynthia did eventually meet Kenya’s new man, Mark Daly.
“He exists,” she jokes. “He’s awesome and they are great together. I am so rooting for them, 100 percent, and I really, honestly couldn’t be happier. I’ve been telling them, they have to have another wedding. One that I can not only go to, but that I can actually be a part of in some way. I have to be a bridesmaid or something.”
Kenya’s decision to keep her husband a secret left RHOA production scrambling and her co-stars questioning her marriage throughout season 10. But Cynthia supports her friend regardless.
“I can’t speak for Kenya on this entirely, but I will say, obviously, she’s pretty excited,” she shares. “Clearly, she’s pretty excited about Mark.”
In spite of the manufactured lie maliciously circulated by the Phaedra Parks, about co-star Kandi Burruss — Cynthia says she would embrace Phaedra returning to the Bravo reality series.
“I will say this about Phaedra: we came on the show together,” Cynthia says. “Although we were never, like, super close, I always felt like we had a connection, because we started this journey together. I do miss having her around, ’cause, you know, she’s like, super funny. But at the same time, I just couldn’t agree with what she did.”
“I think there has to be some boundaries that just can’t be crossed,” she continues. “It’s not up to the cast to make those decisions. It’s up to the network to decide … with that said, I thought Phaedra was great on the show. I thought she was hilarious on the show. So, I would never say that anyone that’s been on the show shouldn’t come back, because I think everybody brings different things. I really, really honestly do. But I do feel like, you know, it definitely was a wake-up call for other people on the show that felt like they could, you know, follow in her footsteps. It’s just not going to be tolerated.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays at 8:00 p.m. ET on Bravo.
