Brit Eady And Kenya Moore Ditch ‘RHOA’ Season 16 Reunion

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 16 reunion is already sparking drama, considering Kenya Moore and Brit Eady, two of the season’s most-talked-about stars, didn’t attend the official taping.

On X, formerly Twitter, Moore opened up about her absence during the “RHOA” reunion and revealed she was “disappointed” she wasn’t able to share her side of the story.

“Please know I take full accountability for my actions and deeply apologize to all those affected, including Brittney, the cast, crew, guests, and viewers,” she wrote.

For those unfamiliar, the former Miss USA’s apology refers to a heated moment during an earlier episode of season 16, in which Moore, while filming an all-cast event, displayed NSFW photos that supposedly featured Eady.

The controversial moment rubbed many people the wrong way, including some of the cast and the show’s fans, ultimately leading the network to suspend filming with Moore for the remainder of the season.

According to PEOPLE, a source told the publication that Moore was not invited to the reunion gathering. However, during the second part of her apology post on X, Moore seemingly hinted that she was back in the network’s good graces.

“I look forward to seeing you all back on Bravo soon,” she wrote.

Shortly after Bravo shared the seating chart for the upcoming reunion, Eady posted an update to her Instagram Stories, informing her followers that it was her decision to skip the gathering.

“The events this season have devastated me,” she wrote, adding, “and while I cannot say much right now, I do want to set the record straight about one thing.”

Eady continued, “The graphic, sexual photo surrounding the events in Episode 5 … was not me.”

“As the episode makes clear, I did not see the photo at the time. Rather, I was made aware of the photo being presented at the event, and based on what I was told, assumed that it was somehow a photo of me — which is why I reacted in the way that I did,” she added.

“I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me. I look forward to seeking accountability and moving past this dark part of my life,” Eady finished.

Once news of Moore and Eady’s absence from the reunion began spreading online, many users were quick to share their opinions on social media.

On Reddit, one user called Eady a “one broke wonder,” adding, “Glad we won’t see her again.”

A second user shared another bold opinion about Eady, saying the network “really had no business putting her on” in the first place.

A third commenter expressed their desire to see Moore return and sent good vibes the veteran reality star’s way.

“Well, since Brit has fired herself, that leaves the door open for Kenya to return next season. I hope her and Bravo can mend fences by then,” the commenter wrote.

And those fans aren’t alone in their support for Moore. Moore’s former “RHOA” castmate, Kandi Burruss, defended the mother of one amid the controversy in February 2025.
