Kenya Moore finally admitted she was responsible for the explicit poster scandal that got her suspended from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” earlier this year.
“Hindsight is always 50/50. If I could do it all over again — I believe the photos were very distasteful, and I elevated the situation,” she said on “Tamron Hall” during Thursday’s episode.
“I’ve elevated situations before, and I’ve taken full accountability for the things that I’ve done,” she continued. “I am sorry for what I’ve done. I didn’t have to take it that far.”
Moore, 53, shocked guests at her Kenya Moore Hair Spa grand opening in June when posters of series newcomer Brittany Eady allegedly performing oral sex were displayed at the event.
She immediately denied having any involvement in the shocking incident.
“Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see,” she cryptically wrote on her Instagram Story afterward. “The truth always comes to light.”
About a week later, Page Six broke the news that Bravo had suspended her from “RHOA” indefinitely.
During her appearance on “Tamron Hall” Thursday, Moore insisted she was “never fired” from the reality show and claimed the “headlines that spread across the world” were false.
“I am still under contract, and I am still an employee of the network,” she said, claiming she “still” receives checks from Bravo.
She also alleged the network told her she was “never under investigation for revenge porn.”
In a statement to Page Six Thursday, Bravo said, “We take all allegations of violations of our policies seriously, reviewed the matter and took appropriate action.”
The former Miss USA winner went on to explain on “Tamron Hall” why she featured the raunchy posters of Eady at her June event.
“Some of the new girls come on, and … they’re trying to make a name for themselves, especially when they’re not really showing up,” Moore said.
“But when you go too far, and that’s what happened — we were having a filming [event] and things took a really dark turn toward me There was a young lady who was new and she just was poking the bear.”
“And everybody knows the saying that I made up: ‘Don’t come for me unless I send for you.’ That means, simply, I mind my business. I don’t start anything; I respond,” she continued.
Moore further claimed she felt “threatened” during a screaming match with Eady — though she did not mention her by name — which is why she was upset to begin with.
She claimed she told producers she was “concerned” and “scared” about the situation, but allegedly nothing was done about it. Consequently, she took matters into her own hands.
Moore claimed she found “a lot” of sexually charged images of Eady online but “only showed one.”
“I’ve never had a child and been in a situation like this before,” she said, fighting back tears.
“So that’s why I escalated it to the point where I was protecting not only myself but my child.”
Moore welcomed her daughter, Brooklyn Doris Daly, in 2018 with her then-husband, Marc Daly.
