  • Nene Leakes Apologizes For ‘Short Speech’ + Kenya Moore’s Charitable ‘Lie’ Revealed…

    Feb, 18 2014 | Written by ATLien

    Nene Leakes Kenya Moore Mask Ball RHOA StraightFromTheA 1
    Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has been getting a bad rap lately and she’s taking accountability for her actions.

    Leakes recently took to her BravoTV blawg to address the ‘short speech’ that she gave during Kenya Moore’s charity ball, which aired during episode 15 of RHOA.Kenya Moore Mask Ball RHOA StraightFromTheA 5

    In her statement, Nene admits that she was wrong, but says that Kenya is still the one that needs to be watched.

    In addition to Nene’s apology, Saving Our Daughters, an esteemed Atlanta charity organization formed to provide positive activism and support to teen girls nationwide, provided their own official statement blasting Kenya Moore and her attempts to use their name to further her RHOA career.

    The organization claims they didn’t even know the event was being held for Nene until after it aired on television AND they also state that if Kenya raised ‘thousands’ as she’s purported, they never received a dime of it!

    Read Nene’s apology + Saving Our Daughter’s official statement below…

    VIDEO: Kenya Moore’s Charity Ball (RHOA Segment)

    Despite her apology, Nene calls out Kenya via her blawg, stating that Kenya is the one who should be apologizing for using ‘Saving Our Daughters’ for her own personal gain.

    Nene states:

    I don’t have a lot I want to say, but I’ll start by saying I apologize for my behavior at the charity event. I definitely don’t want to teach young women that this is the proper way to respond when someone is trying to trick you into a situation and push your buttons. I would much rather teach young women to be aware of the wolves in sheep?s clothing.

    Kenya Moore Mask Ball RHOA StraightFromTheA 2Kenya used the charity?s name for her own selfish reasons. I’m the kind of girl that likes to spill the facts. Everything else is just gossip and B.S. Here are the facts. I never received a call, a text, or an email from Kenya. What I did learn the night before the charity event is that Kenya had used a PR Firm to send e-vites to everyone, which is why I didn’t see it. Fact! You heard me right, a third party! She wanted you to believe she sent me an email and she did not. FACT! If she really had pure, good intentions, she could have picked up the phone, called me, and said, “Hey let’s put our differences aside for a night of charity!”

    Kenya Moore Mask Ball RHOA StraightFromTheA 3I’m a very rational person. I have been a major supporter to Saving Our Daughters and have raised thousands of dollars for them. Fact! All this charity B.S. is coming from a person that showed up at my charity event last year in a thong and butt pads! She even argued outside of Porsha’s charity event! She has no credibility when it comes to charity. I just hope Saving Our Daughters received the thousands of dollars she claimed to have raised.

    [FLASHBACK: Nene Launches ‘The Nethia’ for Shoedazzle… ]

    I’m not surprised things have gone down the way they have between Kenya and me. She had beef with Cynthia over the whole coochie crack thing, then moved on to Porsha, then to Phaedra over a booty video, then to Apollo, and now me! I see straight through her! She’s not original. What’s she’s doing has already been done. I have always stood alone in a war! I might bend, but I won’t break, and if I stumble, I won’t fall! I see what she?s doing and so do you.

    P.S. Here’s something else I saw: (1) Did you see the opportunist that keeps coming around? (2) Did you see my friend just sit there and indirectly support this B.S.? I have worked with a lot of women over the years, and the one thing that it has taught me is that life is like an elevator — on your way up, you have to let people off!

    But wait…

    Saving our Daughters also has a few words to say publicly on the issue. In an official statement released on their website, the charitable organization sets the record straight about Ms. Ratchet USA.

    Kenya Moore Mask Ball RHOA StraightFromTheA 1The organization reveals that Moore held a fundraiser but they never received any funds!!

    On February 16, 2014, Saving Our Daughters was mentioned on the episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta as being honored with a fundraiser on its behalf.

    Our charity was contacted by publicist April Love to get approval and give notice of this upcoming event. Much to our delight, we were indeed honored to be chosen. After all, one of our largest financial contributors, Mrs. NeNe Leakes who has been responsible for contributions in the thousands of dollars throughout the years, is a member of the cast.

    Days later, to our surprise Ms. Love did contact me and inform me that she had decided to terminate her company?s involvement with this event. At that point, Ms. Moore contacted me to continue moving forward with the event as purposed and planned. This call took place a day before the event was scheduled to take place.

    Upon seeing the event unfold on TV, it was noticed that Ms. Kenya Moore stated that she was giving this charitable event in honor of Mrs. Leakes, with Saving Our Daughters as the recipient of the proceeds from the charity event. Honorees at this point were switched without our knowledge, but again, we are appreciative of any and all support for the organization.

    Had we been made aware that this fundraising event was in honor of Mrs. Leakes, we certainly would have been present with the plaques and certificates of appreciation that we currently have to present to Mrs. Leakes for her outstanding efforts and support for Saving Our Daughters. This would have been the perfect opportunity for us to honor her, as well. We were not aware of this and it appears that Mrs. Leakes wasn?t aware either.

    The light in which Saving Our Daughters was depicted was less than favorable. The organization received several calls from other supporters about our involvement in this event. They were extremely disappointed and felt that the organization was being taken advantage of.

    [FLASHBACK: PSA: Kelly Rowland for ‘Saving Our Daughters’ (VIDEO)]

    We go on record by stating that we at Saving our Daughters have never and will not ever be involved in any drive where the exact purpose is not clear, stated or held to with only approved changes. We would not ever jeopardize our continuing support from our friends by being a part of what appears to have been tainted from the start.

    In closing, Ms. Kenya Moore stated that thousands of dollars were raised at this event. To protect the integrity of Saving Our Daughters, our records show that we did not receive any of the proceeds raised from Ms. Moore?s masquerade ball.

    However, we do appreciate the contribution we did receive of $500 for our annual Christmas doll drive for children with cancer.

    Kenya… you’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do!! Where did the money from the auction go? Why didn’t anyone know that Nene was being honored? We need answers!!

    What’s done in the dark always comes to light and Kenya is finally being called out! The charity made some valid points and I can totally understand them wanting to clear their name.

    What do you think of these new developments?

    Is Kenya really the ‘snake’ that Nene claims or is this all just a misunderstanding?

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
