Kandi Burruss is 'sad' Kenya Moore is leaving “RHOA”, calls it 'the end of an era' and doesn't care who disagrees

'You always gonna need somebody who doesn’t mind being real and keeping it 100 on camera, pushing the story,' she said.

Kandi Burruss may have left The Real Housewives of Atlanta of her own accord, but she's still sad that her friend Kenya Moore has been shown the exit.

Moore was let go from the show's 16th season following an investigation by Bravo into an incident that occurred while filming in which Moore unveiled posters of new cast member Brittany Eady allegedly performing oral sex.

Though Burruss doesn't condone such behavior, she still thinks the network could've done more to keep Moore around.

“There was an incident that happened. I wasn’t there. I can’t give you details of what happened. But it makes me sad, you know. I’m not lying about how I feel because she is my friend. I do love her,” Burruss said on Amazon Live.

Sure, Burruss conceded, Moore can go far "sometimes" — or as some might say, most of the time. She added she has "never known her to make up anything about anybody. And if things are out there about you, when you join a reality show, unfortunately, people are able to pull up things that you’ve done, and share them.”

Burruss went on to question if Bravo couldn't have done more to keep Moore around, noting that she's “a major part of the show.”

“I feel like this is the end of an era,” the singer-songwriter continued. “I don’t care who disagrees. I feel like it’s the end of an era. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t like her or whatever. You always gonna need somebody who doesn’t mind being real and keeping it 100 on camera, pushing the story, meaning like bringing up things that other people are trying to avoid.”

While Burrus has a point — that all is fair in love and Housewives — Bravo, facing a series of lawsuits around sexual impropriety from former cast members, probably decided to play it safe by getting rid of Moore, no matter how integral she is, or was, to the show.

For her part, Moore denied engaging in "revenge porn," writing on X a few weeks ago after her initial suspension from the show, "I have never distributed private images or footage of anyone, nor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail. "
