After two seasons of Kenya Moore and Sheree Whitfield trading insults about the construction and decor of their mansions, I figured these two would have been the ones arguing during the Real Housewives of Atlanta finale episode. Instead, Kim Zolciak resurrected and came at Kenya in a quest for more camera time.
I had no idea hat Kim and Kenya even knew each other well enough to have drama. Kenya started the show on the same season Kim flipped out and left in the middle. I didn’t think that they ever had a one-on-one conversation, let alone animosity between them. As expected, Kenya has A LOT to say now that the episode has aired.

I just hope the real estate rivalry between Kenya and Sheree is over. It got dragged out too long. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help laughing when Kenya pointed out all of the similarities between the two of them and even the features of their homes.
Kenya explained, “Although Sheree’s home is not my aesthetic, it is her home and she is proud to have gotten it to the point it is now. She mentioned she was a single woman (same as me), who did it on her own (same as me), and accomplished something few of us do (same as me). For that alone, I have to say congratulations and I’m proud of her.”
Please look at Kenya’s blog after reading this next part. She has side by side pictures to confirm everything that she wrote.
“With that said, was I being petty by pointing out the obvious? Hell yeah! I’ve heard a few say I trashed her home…HOW exactly? Stating obvious facts such as she has some of the exact same lighting fixtures I have, similar bed, smaller closets, similar decor throughout and an unfinished basement.” Kenya also said, “I’m human. I had fun stating the obvious…it was petty and shady, but not mean.”
I get what Kenya is saying though when she wrote, “Her main point was that her house was MORE finished than mine – and she took another five months to work on her home before her housewarming!” Taste aside, both homes seemed pretty nice to me, but what do I know about Atlanta mansions?
Kenya complained, “She was the last person who should have criticized me or belittled my accomplishment. She should have celebrated with me. Everyone loves to blame me for everything, but it is perfectly fine when they attack me. How many high roads can one take before they fall off a cliff?”
I don’t think Kenya ever took the “high road” when it came to criticizing Chateau Sheree.

Kenya concluded, “My point was, petty or not, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”
Still, it seems like Kenya and Sheree put the nonsense behind them (at least, a little bit). Kenya revealed, “Perhaps now we can focus on more important issues and support each other in the future. Proud to share that Sheree has agreed to participate in a PSA I’m producing for domestic violence. Trying to help other victims and families is far more important than helping her finish her basement.” Maybe they’ll end up being friends next season? Probably not, but it would be so crazy to see them team up and throw shade at someone else.
If Kim ends up rejoining Real Housewives of Atlanta next season, it’s clear that she will continue coming for Kenya. Kenya explained that she was caught off guard by Kim’s animosity at the housewarming party: “I’d been very fond of Kim and always kept in touch with her and had been one of her biggest fans. I was shocked when she was so rude to me.” In all honesty, it came off as Kim’s bid to get a bigger check if she comes back to the show.
Kenya shaded Kim hard when she recalled, “When she came for me, I had to first figure out if it was really Kim. Her own mother probably couldn’t pick her out of a line up now, so how could I be expected to?” Damn.
Kenya continued, “She kept making nasty comments about my appearance. This is the same woman who wants people to believe she hasn’t had any plastic surgery done to her face, but she can’t close her eyes when she blinks. Bitch, bye!” I have no idea how Kim denies that blatantly different nose. No amount of contouring could make her nose look so different in comparison to Season 1.
Kim went for the low blows during the episode and to be honest it seemed like she owned Kenya. Or maybe Kenya just didn’t care enough to respond. Still, she clarified, “No, I don’t want to be Kim. Yes, I would love to have children, but I’m not interested in having three baby daddies.”
She wasn’t done though. Kenya said, “I appreciate my genes and the fact that I have my original face and that I don’t age like sour milk. My body is my temple.”
Kenya criticized Kim’s well-known smoking and drinking habits too: “I don’t smoke cigarettes or drink a bottle of wine a day.” And the wigs: “Thank God I have my own healthy hair and successful hair care line that promotes real hair growth. (Kenya Moore Hair Care in retail stores now!)”
Taking a shot at Kim’s Kashmere skincare line (and her cosmetic procedures again), Kenya added, “At least we know my hair care line works. I don’t believe smearing cream on your face after a facelift is really a cure for wrinkles.” Ouch.
