Word on the curb is that Kenya Moore of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is seriously considering quitting her reality show gig.
Moore spoke to the Associated Press?today about being dragged by her RHOA cast mate Porsha Williams during part 1 of their season 6 reunion show (click HERE if you missed that), stating:
We all agree that we don’t condone violence.
We’ve become angry with each other, we’ve threatened each other and gone to the edge. But at the end of the day, we know there’s a line. If there are no consequences, then where does it end?
[Sidebar: I would suspect it ends when you push someone to slapping the dog p*ss outta you, but maybe that’s just me.]
Moore goes on to say that she feels that it was actually Porsha who ‘provoked’ her during the show.
More details below…
According to the?AJC,
Williams and Moore have had friction during the entire season, so it wasn’t surprising that the two began to argue and trade ugly accusations during the reunion special. But then things got physical. Both women stood up and Williams grabbed Moore’s hair, pulling her down and dragging her across the floor. On the show, Williams said she “blacked out” but was regretful about the fight.
“I think Porsha was in a position to provoke me,” Moore said on Monday.
Moore said Williams should have been better prepared for the reunion show, which typically brings up past feuds and confrontations between cast members from previous episodes. The show also stars NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks and Cynthia Bailey.
“If anyone is capable of blacking out and not taking responsibility for their actions, they should not be in this type of environment,” she said. “They do not need a stage such as this.”
Kenya also confirms in the interview what I’ve told you all along… that Porsha isn’t fired (yet).
Miss ratchet USA says the decision is up to the producers on whether Williams returns to the show. Bravo has not commented on the incident and has not addressed who will be back for the next season.
Williams’ attorney, Joe Habachy, said in an emailed statement last week that the battery claim against his client is unfounded and that Williams looks forward to clearing her name. Habachy said Williams plans to contest the charge and file aggravated assault charges against Moore.
A rep for Williams did not return a request for comment on Monday.
Moore said she still hasn’t spoken with Williams since the incident.
Another reason Kenya may be considering giving up her ‘wild card’ is the fact that she’s also accepted a role in a scripted sitcom under development by TVOne.
While we all have grown to ‘love to hate’ the former beauty queen, I can honestly say I wouldn’t miss her if she chooses to go.
