Kenya Moore recently opened up about everything thatâs going on in her world â from her situation with Matt Jordan, to some crazy tea about whatâs to come on Real Housewives Of Atlanta, to why sheâs the new queen of RHOA, and whatâs the deal with Porsha Williams!
Speaking to blogger Love B Scott, they go deep into the psychology of Matt, and how it compares to Kenyaâs situation with her mom, plus why she thinks some Housewives have SERIOUSLY crossed the line this season! âHonesty is key and I learned that very early on. You cannot fake for the cameras,â advises Kenya. âThe cameras will see whatever it is.â
On Kenyaâs âshit-show with Mattâ: (as termed by Love B Scott.), Bravo only found out about Mattâs behavior the first time he broke the Moore Manor garage window. She first experienced his anger in Mexico, when they were dating for over a year.

âThere were some exes that had communicated with me when they first saw him on the show and said that he was a good guy, but he had this duality to him⌠And I just kind of ignored it because, for me, I need you to show me who you are, I donât need to believe what other people say. And I was willing to give him a chance despite what exes said, because exes will say anything, right? But, I was concerned with the behavior and at some point I did question itâŚbut I never got any real answers.â
Kenya is quick to clarify that none of her ârealâ exes (she doesnât âclaim Walterâ) say anything bad about her! She gets angry at people saying her relationship with Matt was staged. âIâm so fâking tired of people with that old-ass joke, and those old-ass lines. Iâm a beautiful woman â Iâm not afraid to say it! â Iâm intelligent, Iâm accomplished, Iâm fâking rich and I donât need to pay a man to do shit â not even eat my pu$$y!â (OH. MY.)
âI have nine proposals, and I wouldâve had 10 from Matt because the man was begging to marry me,â elaborates Kenya. âI donât need to pretend and play â all that stuff came from Walter, the balding guy who had to use the spray for his hair, that I clocked for being a queen, OK! He retaliated by saying it was fake. And then Phaedra put something else on it by saying, âOh, she paid him.'â
Of Matt, Kenya believes, âHe wants a reaction. To him that big, angry reaction â thatâs love. But Iâm not that girl. I know Iâm very vocal. I can be aggressive when pushed on my show with these women, but with my relationships with men, I donât do all that fighting. Iâve had nine proposals â Iâm doing something right! People can say all day long âWell, she canât keep a manâŚâ Well, bitch, I had 9 proposals â what part of not keep a man are you seeing?â
Kenya âwasnât in loveâ with any of the 9, which is why she never said yes! âThe one person I wanted to marry, never asked,â she adds.
Kenya posits that Matt suffers from mental illness. âYou know what, honestly, Iâve never seen him do drugs. He doesnât smoke. He doesnât excessively drink. I canât say [his anger] is from steroids because I donât have any proof of that. âŚI see a good person there. I see an illness there too. I see him. I SEE him. I see him, but he has things that heâs battling, but I know it can be helped if he does what heâs supposed to do, which is get help. I have that thing in me, because of my mom and everyone else, that when I see it, I know that isnât who you really are.â She and Matt do go to therapy together later this season.
Sheâs hurt by Mattâs accusations that their relationship was fake. âThere was love thereâ insists Kenya. âYouâre gonna win all day long being someone who was genuinely in love with me and has my back. But when you come for me and I got all my receipts? Youâre gonna lose every time. I could deal with a lotta stuff, but the betrayal⌠I know what the truth is, he knows what the truth is. I stayed quiet â I gave him enough rope to hang himself.â
For Kenya to consider giving Matt another chance (and she says thatâs very,very unlikely), âHeâd have to admit to lying, admit to not being honest about what everything was. Have some real intense therapy for a while. I donât think that itâs immaturity anymore. I think there are other things at play. Iâve seen too much and I know too much. And some things I will never say because I think that you have to draw a line some place â especially when youâve ever had love for someone youâre gonna hold their deepest, darkest, secrets.â
Moving on, to the RHOA tea â she has a lot to say about Kim Zolciak, NeNe Leakes, Porsha, production and more.
On RHOA without NeNe, âThe ratings speak for themselves,â quips Kenya. She takes âmost of the creditâ for last weeksâ high ratings because âpeople wanted to see what was going on with me and Matt.â

âListen, I can sit here and take all the credit, but of course Iâm not going to do that â it is an ensemble show, but someone has to be a leader on a show like this, as NeNe was when she was on, and I quickly booted her off [laughs]. She had to give me her crown after I ran her off!â
âYouâre gonna pull focus if you have a certain star appeal,â Kenya continues. âNeNe had star appeal. She was responsible for â partly responsible for â bringing the show to the elevation that it is now. She was amazing on the show.â
In fact, Kenya canât believe NeNe left RHOA! âYou wouldâve had to drag me by my hair. I wouldâve never left a show that I helped to build and I became the star of and I became the queen of. I wouldâve never left my throne.â
On Porsha, Kenya has quite a different story!
Their friendship status hasnât changed:Â âWeâre the same as weâve always been. Weâre not friends â weâve never been friends, weâve never had anything in common,â describes Kenya.
Kenya says Porsha is boring and completely fake: âEvery time sheâs about to get fired she comes up with something crazy to save her job. Every single year. Sheâs like a roach! Like youâll kill it and somehow it just pops back up again ⌠Itâs nothing organic in that though. I cannot respect it. The audience is smarter than that, but nobody calls her out on those things, whereas Iâve told an honest story since Iâve been on the show.â {UHHHHHHâŚÂ OkayâŚ}
She comments on the infamous RHOA reunion brawl, and reveals she brought the scepter to wave at NeNe, but maintains Porsha started drama with her to remain on the show, âShe was looking for work because she doesnât have any.â
Kenya weighs in on Kandiâs drama with Porsha this season, âThey both have admitted that theyâve both kissed each other, but Kandi has said that [Porsha] was the aggressor,â says Kenya.
â[Porsha] went too far. She alleged certain things that Kandi and Todd did, and we were all disgusted because it was like, âBitch we know you trying to keep your jobâŚâ but you have gone too far when you star accusing people of illegal activity and trying to take advantage of you, and youâre hurting this girlâs brand with these lies â you need to stop,â Kenya states. âThatâs when you need to just really get kicked off the show, because you donât even know where any type of boundaries are. I try not to interfere with peopleâs jobs.â
âItâs just stupidity,â continues Kenya. âThe stupidity that I canât deal with on this show, like you paid someone to be your boyfriend⌠They go so far because they donât have brands of their own, so they donât know what itâs like to be protective, of at least, your business. I despise people that just donât have any moral fiber; that this paycheck means everything to you. When you are a âKandi,â or you are âmeâ â when you were âsomebodyâ before this show â youâll be somebody after. The show did not make me.â
In new developments, Kenya hints that olâ Wigs & Cigs is trying to come back and makes an appearance this season!
âKim left Housewives altogether. It was a choice. I mean her show works. Kim is good for TV, but why is she coming for my purse now?! Sheâs trying to get back on the show! She came for me for Shereeâs Housewarming, which was the finale. Cause obviously you know who to come for if youâre tryinâ to get a peach back!â
The drama started when Kim wrote âI hate that bitchâ about Kenya on Carlos Kingâs instagram. âIâve always respected Kim. Iâve always given her love; always been nice to her. And she said âI hate that bitch!â Really? Iâm not talking about you!â
Even the shade assassin sometimes feels the shade goes too far, though! Kenya is upset over Sheree Whitfieldâs comment that Kenyaâs mother doesnât love her. âThat was a low blow,â remarks Kenya (agreed!). âIâm shady in a funny way. Iâm shady when you come for me, but I am not shady to the degree of cruelty. All of those girls have come to me on a level of [cruelty] â Phaedra talking about how I have âscrambled eggsâ, you know, talking about how I have fertility issues as a woman. Who does that? And now Sheree, talking about [my mother] after I was vulnerable enough to show me walking up to her front door to get her to talk to me. And you wanna use that against me because I told the truth that your house wasnât in your name and that itâs in your motherâs name? You wanna come for me and talk about my mother not wanting me?â
In random tidbits, Kenya talks money, a possible spinoff, and having children.
Kenya swears sheâs a rich bitch: âIâm a baller on a budget. I love to invest money. I love to invest in real estate. I have great stock. I invested in Amazon a long time ago, before Amazon even got to be Amazon. I know where to put my money. I just love finding bargains. I could wear $20 items or $2,000 items.â
Kenya is planning get pregnant through IVF regardless of her relationship status, but plans to keep that private. In the âpast two yearsâ Kenya has had some âclose callsâ when she âthought it was happening [being pregnant] and then it didnât.â Citing her age and the frequency of miscarriages with IVF, Kenya confesses, âI donât think Iâll ever really share that on the show. I donât think I can, because itâs so personal to me. You know how cruel some of these fans are, I just wouldnât wanna share it with them. Iâd probably be pushed to the hospital, on my way to deliver, like, âOh no â Iâm not pregnant!'â she laughs. (Isnât that what Phaedra did too?)
Her dream of a possible spinoff:Â âI absolutely loved building Moore Manor,â gushes Kenya. âI would have my own show on HGTV flipping houses, or renovating houses. In fact I have some meetings about that, so fingers-crossed!â
You can listen to the whole interview here. Itâs pretty interesting! She dishes on producer Carlos King, former RHOA star Kim Fields and more!
