Kenya Moore Confirms She Won’t Return for RHOA Season 17, Hints at Two New Housewives

Kenya Moore has confirmed that she won’t be returning for Season 17 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. During a recent Instagram Live, the longtime cast member told fans that as of now, she is not filming and won’t be part of the new season.

This news comes after Kenya was suspended during Season 16 for showing an explicit image of co-star Brit Eady during a scene filmed at her salon event. Kenya later apologized and said she acted out of frustration and feeling protective of her daughter.

While Kenya is out, she revealed that two new Housewives are joining the cast. She didn’t name them directly but described one as a restaurant owner and the other as a former Love & Hip Hop star.

Online sources and fans believe the two women could be: Pinky Cole – Founder of Slutty Vegan and K. Michelle – Singer and former Love & Hip Hop cast member.

Despite Kenya’s exit, many familiar faces are expected to return for Season 17, including: Porsha Williams, Drew Sidora, Angela Oakley, Shamea Morton, Phaedra Parks, Kelli Ferrell.

Brit Eady, who left in the middle of Season 16, is also not coming back and has reportedly taken legal action against the show.

Kenya Moore’s departure marks a major change for RHOA. With the rumored additions of Pinky Cole and K. Michelle, Bravo seems to be shaking up the cast to bring in more star power and fresh drama. Fans are now waiting for Bravo to officially confirm the Season 17 lineup.
