Andy Cohen praised Kenya Moore for taking accountability after she released an explicit photo of her former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Brittany Eady and got suspended from the series as a result.
“I thought it was great,” the “Watch What Happens Live” host, 56, exclusively told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast at Bravo’s Fan Fest in Miami on Saturday.
“I’ve talked to her a lot over the last few months and I was happy to see that.”
In June, Page Six learned that Moore, 53, shocked partygoers when she featured a poster of Eady, 36, allegedly performing oral sex at her Kenya Moore Hair Spa grand opening with Bravo cameras rolling.
The network launched an investigation and despite Moore initially denying that she engaged in any “revenge porn” against her former co-star, Bravo did not permit her to return for the rest of Season 16.
Then, on Nov. 14, the former Miss USA winner finally admitted on “The Tamron Hall Show,” “I believe the photos were very distasteful, and I elevated the situation.”
“I’ve elevated situations before, and I’ve taken full accountability for the things that I’ve done. I am sorry for what I’ve done. I didn’t have to take it that far.”
Although Eady has not yet directly responded to Moore’s remarks, the “RHOA” newcomer appeared to react to her former co-star’s interview with a cryptic post on social media.
“Best part of being authentic, there is no image to maintain,” she captioned photos of herself from a glamorous shoot on Nov. 15. “We are all the villain in someone’s story. ✨💫”
Despite Moore’s exit from “RHOA,” Cohen also teased that the upcoming season is “really good.”
He said production on the show “took so long” because they “wanted to get it exactly right.”
“We were really serious about casting,” Cohen added, “And this season is a very pivotal season for that show. It’s a major crossroads for the show.”
Season 16 of “RHOA” does not yet have an exact premiere date. However, it is set to air in early 2025.
Bravo brought back former “Housewives” who had previously left the series to revamp the show.
Earlier this year, Porsha Williams announced she is part of Season 16. Phaedra Parks is also returning.
The attorney-turned-reality star, 51, told Page Six in September, “They shook up the cast, but it’s definitely … it’s a good thing, it’s a good thing! I think people are really going to enjoy it.”
