Title: Kenya Moore Says She’s Still on Bravo’s Payroll
Kenya Moore is letting it be known: she’s still very much on Bravo’s payroll — even if her future on The Real Housewives of Atlanta remains unclear. The reality TV icon recently gave fans a much-needed update about her current standing with the network, confirming that while a decision hasn’t been made regarding her return for Season 17, she’s still employed by NBCUniversal and receiving checks for her role in Season 16.
This clarification comes amid weeks of rumors about her possible firing, legal drama, and fan speculation following an alleged incident during filming earlier this year.
“I’m Still Getting Paid” — Kenya Breaks Her Silence
In a recent statement, Kenya said:
“I’m still under contract with NBC and Bravo. A decision has not been made about next season, but I am being compensated for Season 16.”
This was Kenya’s way of reminding fans (and her critics) that although she may have taken a step back from RHOA mid-season, she’s still an official part of the Bravo family — at least for now.
Her comments effectively shut down the narrative that she’s been “fired,” and instead suggest that her role moving forward could be part of ongoing internal discussions at the network.
What Really Happened During Season 16?
Kenya’s Season 16 journey was cut short after an alleged scandal involving a video shown to castmates during a trip, which led to tension between her and production. Bravo has remained mostly quiet on the details, but insiders claimed Kenya was asked to leave filming early due to potential legal and ethical concerns.
Fans were disappointed that she didn’t get a traditional send-off or storyline conclusion, especially given her long-standing role as one of the franchise’s most polarizing and entertaining stars.
Despite the drama, Kenya’s update suggests that Bravo didn’t terminate her outright, and may still be weighing her return for the upcoming season.
Social Media Reacts: “Kenya Knows Her Worth”
Once the news broke, social media lit up with mixed reactions. Some fans were thrilled to hear that Kenya still has a seat at the Bravo table, while others questioned whether the network would actually bring her back full-time.
One user wrote:
“Kenya is still getting that Bravo bag. Don’t play with her.”
Another posted:
“They better bring her back or this show is done. Say what you want, but Kenya is the drama.”
Others think she may return in a reduced capacity or possibly as a friend of the show, depending on how negotiations unfold.
What’s Next for Kenya Moore?
While her future on RHOA is still uncertain, Kenya isn’t slowing down. She’s reportedly working on several business ventures, including her haircare line, and remains active on social media, where she frequently interacts with fans and teases behind-the-scenes glimpses of her life.
If Bravo decides to move forward with her for Season 17, there’s no doubt viewers will want to see how she addresses the controversy — and whether she can reclaim her throne in Atlanta.
