Ever since we first saw Kenya Moore on 'Real Housewives of Atlanta', the housewife has been consistent with one behavior trait of hers -- being awful to the other women around her. During her debut season, the housewife managed to ruffle quite a few feathers by picking up a fight with new housewife Porsha Williams for no apparent reason.

As Kenya continued to return on the show, season after season, we saw the housewife treating the other women very poorly. So, it comes as no surprise that she has a reputation of being very mean to the ladies. But have you ever wondered why the former beauty queen is so toxic towards women? The latest episode of 'RHOA' threw a light on it, and fans seem to have finally discovered where the housewife's anger towards women stems from.

In the recently aired episode of 'RHOA', Kenya was shown seeking therapy to understand why her marriage fell apart. During the therapy, the housewife shared snippets of her tough childhood. She revealed how her mother handed her over to her grandmother when she was only a baby and abandoned her. Kenya held onto this and feared having her own children or starting a family until much later in her life because she was afraid of repeating the same mistakes her mother made. The housewife even shared her anger towards her family members for watching quietly her be mistreated instead of intervening and protecting her. But most of her anger seemed to be directed at her mother.

When fans heard Kenya open up about her childhood and experience with her mother, they felt that it explained why Kenya behaved the way she did with other women. A fan tweeted, "Watching Kenya in therapy makes me understand more why she acts the way she does. I’m just going to say hurting people hurt people.#RHOA." Another fan wrote, "Listening to Kenya at this therapy session explains a lot.. #RHOA." "Kenya’s Therapy session is now making me understand why she’s the way she is when it comes to other women #RHOA," commented a fan. "We’ll know that therapy is working for Kenya once she stops being so disgusting to all the other women #RHOA," shared a fan.



 



 



 



 



 

Many fans also pointed out how people who have been hurt badly in life, in turn hurt other people, to explain Kenya's behavior. A fan expressed, "Kenya's childhood trauma comes as no surprise. Hurt people, hurt people... Hope she continues on the therapy path. #RHOA." Another fan seconded, "Seeing Kenya open up about her past traumas really shows you why she’s so bitter and toxic with people. Hurt people hurt people. I hope therapy helps her heal those wounds. #RHOA." "Kenya is a hurt person who needs therapy. I am glad she’s taking the step to heal herself. She deserves to be happy. #rhoa," wrote a fan.
