Kenya Moore claims she's 'not going anywhere' despite being suspended from RHOA over the poster scandal

WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE WITH ANDY COHEN -- Episode 20129 -- Pictured: Kenya Moore Kenya Moore is speaking out after being suspended from The Real Housewives of Atlanta for an oral sex poster scandal.


While Bravo cameras were rolling on Thursday, June 6, the reality star, 53, unveiled explicit posters of new RHOA cast member Brittany Eady performing oral sex at the grand opening of her new Kenya Moore Hair Spa, PEOPLE can confirm.


The other individual involved in the sex act depicted on the poster is not yet clear, and Eady was not in attendance at the spa when the posters were revealed.


A source tells PEOPLE Moore unveiled the posters after Eady allegedly threatened her costar using the word “gun." However, a second source close to production disputes that, saying, “At no time was Kenya ever threatened with a weapon nor was there ever a weapon present during the course of production."


As a result of the incident at the spa, the first source confirms to PEOPLE that Moore has been suspended from RHOA. She won’t know whether she’ll return to filming until an outcome of the network’s investigation is complete.

In the wake of the incident, Moore turned to Instagram Live on Friday, June 14, telling her followers, “You will be seeing me. I’m not going anywhere despite all this stuff.”

 

Moore previously addressed the incident on June 8, writing on X (formerly known as Twitter), “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.”


“I have always been vindicated. I can’t talk about STORY even with people planting fake news #sweet16.”

Following the reveal of the images — which were allegedly available online — at Moore’s hair salon, her RHOA costar Drew Sidora, who was in attendance, seemingly reacted on social media, writing on X (formerly known as Twitter), “I’m flabbergasted and floored 🤯”


Eady also reacted to news of the incident on her Instagram Story. “It’s never a good feeling being targeted or HAZED by someone I thought would embrace me into a new circle, that I never met,” she wrote, per Queens of Bravo.


“For the record,” the businesswoman and podcast host added, “I’ve never once had possession of any weapons or threatened anyone ever. I’ve never been to jail, in fight, or even had as much as a speeding ticket. That’s not my character. I am hurt by the narrative that’s being displayed. Wrong is wrong.”

She also shared information about Georgia law that prohibits the distribution of sexually explicit images without consent of the person depicted.

Moore announced her return to RHOA in April. "I may be 'Gone With the Wind Fabulous,' but I’m not going anywhere! 🍑" she wrote, captioning a video of her dancing to her beloved 2012 song.
