AceShowbiz - Welcome back, Kenya Moore! Her brief appearance in season 11 finale of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" apparently will not be the last time for fans to see Kenya on the Bravo series after exiting in 2018. It is said that an executive at the network has confirmed Kenya's return for the next season.
The exec allegedly tells MTO News it's official that Kenya has been cast for season 12 of the long-running reality show. "Yes Kenya will be back next season," the source says.
The source continues saying, "We started discussing the new cast [for next season] after the reunion show. Everyone agreed that we need Kenya back."
The confirmation also comes from a friend of the former "RHOA" cast member. Kenya's friend explains to the site, "At first it looked like it wasn't going to happen [Kenya's return], but everyone worked hard and made it happen."
Kenya is set to appear in season 11 finale, which airs on March 31, much to NeNe Leakes' dismay. In the sneak peek at the forthcoming episode, the 51-year-old TV personality is seen lashing out to Cynthia Bailey who brings Kenya at the latter's event.
"You don't call your sister and tell her? You didn't think that was a big of an issue?" NeNe said to Cynthia. "[I'm] your sister who you are really with. This is the sister you talk to five or ten times a day. You don't do that to her!"
According to the official synopsis for the finale, "It looks like Nene was so upset about seeing Kenya at Cynthia's event that it's definitely going to cause some drama between these Atlanta Housewives and may even put their friendship in jeopardy. 'This is a bunch of bulls**t that Cythia's doing,' Nene said in the preview. 'I'm really afraid that our friendship will end forever.' "
For those who need a refresher, in addition to several banters between NeNe and Kenya throughout the series, things were off between NeNe and Kenya after the latter threw a baby shower in October 2018 without inviting NeNe. However, Kandi Burruss shared in a previous interview that "they really had a real issue," adding the two stars only had a "Twitter beef."
Cynthia alegedly insisted that she was never "trying to hurt NeNe," adding that she just thought it would be good for Kenya to get some screen time because the former Miss USA finally found love (husband Marc Daly) and welcomed a baby, daughter Brooklyn. "It was not about [NeNe]. It was just about, I felt like Kenya should be there. I don't understand why she's trying to make it an attack against her," mused Kandi.
