When Bravo dropped the promo for The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16, there was one person noticeably missing from the cast lineup: Kenya Moore. Of course, we all knew that she didn’t finish the season after her drama with Brittany Eady. Still, they couldn’t even put her in the promotional photo? That’s shade, and Kandi Burruss clocked it.
Kenya Moore erasure won’t fly with Kandi Burruss
The former RHOA star recently went to bat for Kenya during an Amazon Live. Fans were asking Kandi about her reaction to the Season 16 trailer, and that’s when she admitted to feeling “pissed” with how Kenya was excluded from the promotional images.
“I personally think that Kenya started this season out at least. We all know that. We’re not privy to how they’re going edit or whatever whatever,” Kandi noted. “But I’m like, y’all couldn’t even let her picture be a part of the show?”
Before everything went to hell, Kenya was announced as a full-time, peach-holding cast member for Season 16. With that in mind, Kandi pointed out that it was odd to see Cynthia Bailey with a cast photo when she only filmed the show as a friend.
Kandi said, “Cynthia had a picture and Cynthia’s my girl, I love her. So this is no shade to Cynthia. She needs a picture too. But what I’m saying is, even if, why wouldn’t y’all put Kenya in the picture?”
Similarly, Kandi couldn’t understand why Phaedra Parks had a spot in the promo picture when we all know she only filmed at the tail end of the season. If anybody should have been excluded from the promo picture, that’s probably the person.
Kandi added, “Then you threw somebody else at the end of the clip, honey, a twerk session. For two seconds but you couldn’t put Kenya, who filmed half of that season?”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 premieres on Bravo on Sunday, March 9 at 8/7c.
