Actress and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Kenya Moore recently caused a stir in Atlanta after footage surfaced online showing her hair salon equipment being unloaded onto the street. This even led her former “RHOA” co-star, Brit Eady, to react online. Now, while on vacation with her daughter, the former Miss USA is responding.
Hours after Moore’s hair salon equipment was spotted outside of the now-closed business, she took to the official Kenya Moore Hair Spa Instagram page to issue a statement. Notably, the post included footage of Moore and her daughter, Brooklyn, enjoying themselves on vacation.
The “RHOA” alum began, “I have spent the last several weeks moving out of my salon as a result of my ongoing legal battle with the landlord who has failed to reimburse me nearly $80k of improvement funds I am rightfully owed.”
She then explained that her “only recourse” was to “withhold rent and file a countersuit.” Moore joked, “I already have my outfit laid out for court, chile!”
The 55-year-old concluded, “To all the amazing women and men who came in and twirled out in style, thank you from the bottom of my heart! This salon chapter is closing, trust me, it’s not the end. It’s just the beginning of a new era. Stay tuned for what’s next!”
The ‘RHOA’ Alum Updated The Salon’s Status
In addition to issuing her statement, Moore also made a notable change to her business’s Instagram page. Now, the page’s bio says that it’s “temporarily closed.” It’s also worth noting that the Google listing features the same descriptor. Regarding Moore’s involvement in the hair care industry, she first launched Kenya Moore Hair Care in 2014.
The brand became a success, and Moore later expressed interest in opening a brick-and-mortar hair salon. According to PEOPLE, the official grand opening took place in June 2024, but it seems the business had been open in the months prior.
Unfortunately, based on reports from those near the situation, the hair care spa never took off, with many potential customers saying it was closed more often than it was open.
Fans Are Supporting Kenya Moore
“RHOA” viewers watched Moore not only go through the process of opening her salon, but they also knew that she dedicated it to her daughter. As a result, many offered supportive comments following her statement.
One person said, “I’m glad I was able to experience your wonderful salon. I wish you all the best in your next chapter and a proper closure on this one.”
Someone else wrote, “I pray that god protects you and your baby girl! I know they’re in the public spotlight; you feel like you owe us an explanation, but you do not. This is your life. This is your business. Do what you normally do, twirl on!!!”
Another “RHOA” fan stated, “It’s never the end for a Phoenix! This is only the beginning of your greatness. There is always more and better in store for those who are brave enough to endure. We love you! You are gonna be alright!”
Brit Eady Offered A Shady Response
As mentioned, there were several reactions to the news that Moore’s equipment had been moved out of her hair care spa. Among them was Eady. For context, the two ladies were on “RHOA” at the time of the location’s grand opening. However, Eady wasn’t invited, and Moore exposed what was believed at the time to be explicit photos of the new cast member at the filmed event.
Following that, Moore was suspended from filming, and Eady filed a lawsuit against Bravo and NBCUniversal. Now, in April 2026, Eady posted footage on social media of herself driving past the salon items outside the building, poking fun.
According to The Gworls Are Fighting, Eady then responded to backlash over the stunt. She said in a comment, “Was it cool what she did to me at her grand opening to destroy my brand?”
Kenya Is Reportedly Involved In A New Show
Moore hasn’t appeared in a new episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” since 2025. However, she’s stated on social media that she remains in contact with the network amid its legal situation with Eady. In the meantime, per a Reality Tea report, Moore is one of several reality stars set to appear in a new unscripted Prime Video series.
A few other names mentioned as being involved in the project are Kim Zolciak, Margaret Josephs, and Christine Quinn. The series was reportedly filmed in the Dominican Republic and has been described as being similar to the “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” format.
