LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kenya Moore, a long-time star of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' (RHOA), is considering legal action against Bravo after her recent suspension from the show. Moore, who has been with RHOA since 2012, was suspended following a controversy involving newcomer Brittany Eady.

Moore was suspended after allegedly sharing explicit photos of Eady at an event. Bravo stated that Moore is not fired but is taking a break. However, Moore feels wronged by the situation. Sources suggest that Moore and Bravo are at odds, especially regarding her safety concerns and how the incident was handled.

Moore has publicly denied any involvement in revenge porn, asserting that she never distributed private images to threaten or blackmail anyone. On social media, Eady expressed feeling targeted and bullied by Moore's actions.

Kandi Burruss, former star of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' (RHOA), has defended her co-star Kenya Moore following Moore's suspension from the show. During an interview on the "Yung Joc & The Streetz Morning Takeover" radio show, Burruss expressed her disagreement with Bravo's decision to suspend Moore.

She argued that controversial actions are a common occurrence in the 'Housewives' series and questioned why this particular incident led to such severe consequences. Burruss stated, "I don’t like the fact that they suspended Kenya. Why y’all all of a sudden have such an issue with somebody doing something crazy to somebody?"

Burruss emphasized that Moore did not fabricate anything related to the incident. She highlighted that the show has often featured behavior that some might find inappropriate, questioning who decides the boundaries. "How many times have we done something that you think somebody shouldn’t do? So, who made the rules?"

Reality reckoning rocks Bravo universe with explosive lawsuits
