Cynthia Bailey has been nothing but a ride or die friend for her fellow housewife Kenya Moore. She always defended Kenya and stood firmly by her side but fans feel that Kenya might not be doing the same for Cynthia. Throughout the ongoing Season 10 of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’, we saw the former Miss USA throw shade at Cynthia but she always managed to get away because Cynthia kept giving her a pass.
 
It took Porsha Williams and Tanya Sam to point out to Cynthia that Kenya might actually be tarnishing Cynthia’s business and brand image, for Cynthia to realize that Kenya might have actually been having fun at her expense. In the latest episode, we saw Kenya pointing out to the world Cynthia’s poor wine knowledge by grilling her with questions about wine and food pairings. Cynthia, who runs a wine cellar in Atlanta, unfortunately, couldn’t answer Kenya’s questions. The remaining housewives at the table felt that Kenya was shading Cynthia for no apparent reason.

Later when Porsha and Tanya pointed it out to Cynthia that it was unacceptable for anybody to talk down to another person like that, Cynthia continues to defend Kenya by saying she was just joking and wasn’t being mean.Fans felt that Kenya was not only being a bad friend but also that Cynthia needed to stand up for herself and not let others walk all over her.

A fan tweeted, “Kenya sure is being shady to her “friend” that has always been there for her & stands buy her side. Cynthia doesn’t need that #rhoa  #Atlanta #BravoTV.” Another fan wrote, “No tea no shade but from where im sitting Kenya been throwing a lot of “fun shade” at Cynthia all season! #RHOA.” “Kenya that was not cool grilling Cynthia about wines. Picking on your Friend makes you look jealous and nothing else BE NICE #RHOA,” expressed another fan.

“Regardless of what Cynthia didn’t know about wine Kenya should of told Cynthia off of the camera. I'm sorry I don’t purposely try to destroy my friends brand on national TV. #RHOA,” pointed out a fan who felt that Kenya was way out of line. Another fan echoed similar thoughts with, “Kenya is just a bad friend. Like it’s not even funny. Look how she’s tearing down Cynthia’s business. If y’all can’t see it, you’re blind. #RHOA.” “What’s up with Kenya trying to shade her best friend Cynthia? It doesn’t surprise me, but damn Cyn! Stand up for yourself! #RHOA,” advised a fan.

‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Season 12 airs every Sunday, at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo.
