The Kenya Moore Controversy

No season is complete without a scandal, and this one’s a doozy. Kenya Moore allegedly shared explicit photos of Brittany Eady at a cast event, leading to her removal from the cast and an investigation by Bravo. Eady was devastated, and Porsha Williams didn’t hold back, saying, “That was Kenya’s choice to twirl on down to hell.” Moore has since apologized, but her time on RHOA may be over.

Porsha’s Bittersweet Return

Porsha’s back, but things aren’t all smooth sailing. She’s facing a second divorce and personal turmoil, including rumors about her ex, Dennis McKinley, and her friend Drew. Can she juggle it all?

Drew’s New Chapter: Music, Movies, and Mayhem

Drew is juggling her career and motherhood while dealing with a divorce from Ralph, who’s staying in the basement until it’s final. And in a twist, she’s collaborating with Dennis McKinley, causing friction with Porsha. Will the partnership cost her a friendship?
