'DWTS' Horror Night: Fans suspect Kenya Moore's ouster was due to 'RHOA' schedule

While some fans argued that the reality star was done wrong, others suspected it was due to her 'RHOA' obligations

Kenya Moore's journey on 'Dancing With The Stars' has certainly been a rough one. Despite consistently strong performances, she always struggled to stay out of the bottom. Even though her fan base has been immensely vocal about having her make it to the end of the competition, Moore has been struggling to keep her head above water.

For 'Horror Night', she and pro Brandon Armstrong danced the Argentine Tango to 'Take My Breath by The Weeknd, inspired by the movie 'Arachnophobia'. Here's what the judges had to say.

Len Goodman noted that Moore spun a web that captured the essence of Argentine Tango. Bruno Tonioli mentioned that the performance was both, beautiful and deadly and that she could wrap him up in her web anytime. Carrie Ann Inaba said that Moore had so much power in her performance which was something she didn't quite see with the others 
Derek Hough pointed out that Moore's elegant demeanour was always a pleasure to watch. The judges scored her 8s, resulting in a total of 32 out of 40, putting her at the bottom of the leaderboard this week. 

Although she was safe during the 'Grease' tribute night, Moore found herself at the bottom yet again, alongside Suni Lee. Since it came down to the judges' votes, Inaba, Tonioli and Hough, all voted for Lee, resulting in Moore's elimination. It's safe to say that fans were thoroughly livid. "I gave @KenyaMoore 160 votes! Using emails & phones! This is upsetting! A lot of people wanted her to win. U could see how great she was on stage. Kenya deserved to win! This is messed up! People could clearly see she was being cheated w/low scores. #DWTS" tweeted a fan. "#DWTS is so nasty. kenya being the only black woman contestant this season and being judged the harshest week after week is not sitting right with me at all. she should still be dancing next week" added another.

"Damn, Kenya’s gone from #DWTS . These white shows can never get it right." tweeted a fan. "Kenya needs to book a Disney or Marvel movie at this point. The disrespect she gets on these shows I just can’t. It’s clear she needs to remind people who tf she is. Agent, get the fu*k to work. Reality ain’t it no more. Next. #DWTS" tweeted a fan. "#DWTS IS RIGGED! I don’t care what anyone says ! Kenya had the MOST improvement! And she never had any formal dance training she’s a winner to me !" stated another.

However, other fans felt as though her elimination had nothing to do with her scores, but was because of 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' had resumed filming and she was required to be present for the same.  "#dwts kenya's return to #rhoa was announced today only for her to be eliminated tonight on #dwts. this doesn't make sense to me right now so i hope it does once the new rhoa season airs." pointed out another. "Streets are saying Kenya was only contracted to be on #DWTS until Real Housewives started filming...she was smiling during the entire elimination and didn't seem sad or surprised even though this was her dream #DWTSPremiere #DancingOnGMA #DWTSFinale" added another.
