Drama erupted among Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) fans when Kenya Moore, one of the show's biggest stars, didn't hesitate to criticize after the show hit a record low in ratings during the season that saw the return of Phaedra Parks. The flop prompted Kenya to immediately speak out, bluntly criticizing the return of Phaedra, who has been the center of much drama in the past.
"Bringing back an old face with cheap drama is not the way to save a show that's on the decline," Kenya quipped in an interview, implying that Phaedra's return was just a failed ploy by the producers to get attention. Kenya also emphasized that relying on old conflicts and controversial characters cannot replace the quality content and fresh developments that viewers really want.
Netizens were quick to jump in on the debate, with many agreeing that Phaedra's return didn't have the desired effect. Some fans said that the drama between Kenya and Phaedra was once a highlight of the show, but has now become "boring" and no longer has any appeal. Meanwhile, Phaedra's supporters said that Kenya herself was "jealous" of her old rival's return, and that the criticism was just a way for her to get attention again.
RHOA's record-low ratings have sent the show into a crisis, with many saying that it's a clear sign that the show is losing its appeal. While the drama between Kenya and Phaedra continues to heat up social media, one thing is clear: Bravo producers will need more than a "shocking return" to save the famous Housewives empire!
