As you could tell from the premiere episode, Kenya Moore is doing her best to standout on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. And what better way to standout than act a little haughty, a wee bit bitchy, and all around antagonistic. However, I’m sure Kenya is a lovely person off camera.
In any event, the former Miss USA turned reality star discussed her role on the new season of the hit series with the New York Post — why she got into a fight, what it’s like being around the women of the show, and whether she had any inhibitions about entering the world of reality.
On her fight with NeNe Leakes:
“Listen, we were in Anguilla. There were people that were being rude, obnoxious, distasteful, and that doesn’t sit well with me and so I had a very visceral response and NeNe was definitely a part of that,” Moore tells The Post. “It’s definitely an episode that people will want to watch.”
On how her relationships with her cast members differ from women in Hollywood:
“I’ve been best friends with people like Tyra Banks and Tracey Edmonds and Shaun Robinson,” Moore said. “We have a great sisterhood. We’re supportive of each other. We’re kind to each other, and we’re good girlfriends.
“I didn’t experience that fighting in my normal life in Hollywood. It is definitely a marked difference to me in the Atlanta situation.”
On whether she had any hesitations about joining the popular Bravo show:
“You know what, I’ve been in worse situations. I’m a fighter, I’m from Detroit,” she said. “I’m very resilient. I’m really not afraid of anything. So, some reality stars from Atlanta? No, I wasn’t afraid of any of them. I’ve been to the Academy Awards, I’m not afraid of a ‘Housewife’!”
On her experiences filming the new season:
“You know what, I’ve been in worse situations. I’m a fighter, I’m from Detroit,” she said. “I’m very resilient. I’m really not afraid of anything. So, some reality stars from Atlanta? No, I wasn’t afraid of any of them. I’ve been to the Academy Awards, I’m not afraid of a ‘Housewife’!”
