Claudia Jordan Defends Kenya Moore Amid Revenge P-rn Scandal, Insists ‘RHOA’ Isn’t Worth Watching Without Her
In the wake of Kenya Moore’s controversial firing from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, her former co-star Claudia Jordan is speaking out in support of the embattled reality star.
Claudia, 51, expressed dismay over Kenya’s exit from the hit Bravo series following a scandal involving a provocative poster at her Kenya Moore Hair Spa grand opening.
“I think it’s tragic … Is [‘RHOA‘] worth watching if she’s not going to be on it? I think she’s a big part of that success and I hope it’s only a temporary thing,” Jordan, also a radio host, told TMZ over the weekend.
Claudia vehemently defended Moore, 53, insisting that Kenya has always been truthful. “Kenya will say something and people will accuse her of being messy, only to find out years later she was telling the truth,” Jordan asserted.
Kenya, a housewife on RHOA from 2012 until her recent suspension, found herself indefinitely sidelined from the show amid allegations that she displayed posters depicting newcomer Brittany Eady engaged in explicit acts.
Kenya Moore swiftly denied the accusations on social media, urging her followers to question the authenticity of such claims.
“Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see,” Kenya wrote on her Instagram Story, adding, “The truth always comes to light.”
Refuting any involvement in revenge tactics or illicit behavior, Moore maintained her innocence.
“I would never engage in revenge porn, I have never distributed private images or footage of anyone, nor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail,” she asserted on X.
Brittany, who was not present at Kenya’s event, also took to social media to address the controversy, expressing disappointment and refuting claims of animosity towards Moore.
Despite her suspension from RHOA, Moore assured her supporters of her resilience.
“You will be seeing me,” she affirmed during an Instagram Live session. However, subsequent reports confirmed Kenya’s departure from the show for the remainder of Season 16, prompting her to criticize Bravo for its handling of the situation.
“My life is blessed. Myself and my daughter will continue to thrive in a non-toxic environment where we feel appreciated and most importantly, protected,” Moore wrote alongside picturesque vacation snapshots featuring her daughter, Brooklyn.
In addition to Claudia, other RHOA alums and housewives have rallied behind Kenya during this tumultuous period.
Kandi Burruss, Moore’s ex co-star on RHOA, defended her actions, arguing that the show often thrives on provocative moments.
“How many times we done did something that you think somebody shouldn’t do? So, who made the rules? Why y’all all of a sudden have such an issue with somebody doing something crazy to somebody?” Kandi, 48, remarked on “Yung Joc & The Streetz Morning Takeover.“
Sheree Whitfield defended Kenya as well. She claims, “My God. I hate to see my girl Kenya go out like that, but as an OG, it’s kinda hard to sit back and watch the show kind of slowly sink the way it is.”
Sheree states, “So, I’m not happy. I don’t like it.”
Production for Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is on-going.
