Season five of Real Housewives of Atlanta may be over, but the reunion for the show just wrapped up on Sunday. The sit down with all of the housewives was divided into three parts, with the last part focusing more on everyone’s on-screen romantic relationships. Notably present was Walter Jackson (Kenya’s former flame) and Kordell Stewart. Walter made headlines after he went to Atlanta radio station V-103 and claimed he and Kenya were faking their romance for the cameras, and although Kenya denied the allegations, it was clear that most of the other housewives agreed with Walter. And it was painfully silent when Andy Cohen asked the ladies during the reunion if any of them believed that Walter and Kenya were really together. Andy asked twice and eventually Kandi tried to be the kind one and said she kind of believed they might have had something. However, every one else was pretty clear that they weren’t buying it, especially NeNe Leakes and Kenya’s nemesis Phaedra Parks.

Walter hoped he would be able to tell his side of the story and receive an invite to the reunion show, however, Bravo wasn’t willing to jeopardize their relationship with season five breakout star Kenya Moore to accommodate Walter. He expressed his outrage about this a couple of months ago on Twitter, but after watching the reunion and seeing Andy ask the tough questions and most of the cast defend him, he took to his Twitter account to make it clear that he was happy with the reunion. He tweets (read from the bottom up):

It looks like Walter has finally made peace with the situation.

Phaedra Parks Blasts Kenya Moore for Threatening Her While She’s Pregnant

Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks’ beef over their fitness DVDs has been a pretty nasty one, and although Kenya seems to still be outselling Phaedra on Amazon, it doesn’t look like the feud will be letting up any time soon. On part one of the reunion, both of the reality star rivals took their same positions of the beef to the stage as Kenya slammed Phaedra’s body and called her too fat to make workout DVDs, and Phaedra blasted Kenya for having what she says is a fake body. Things got so heated between them that Kenya resorted to telling Phaedra that she would knock her teeth out, a threat that left many people stunned and angry. Although Kenya tried to backtrack from the comment and admitted it was out of line in her recent Bravo blog, a lot of people feel she went too far in threatening a very pregnant Phaedra Parks.

Phaedra took to her recent Bravo blog to speak on the matter and says she feels Kenya’s threat further proves that she may have some mental issues. She writes:

“Following the first part of the reunion, I received numerous emails and calls concerning the physical threat Kenya made towards me. I really appreciate everyone’s concerns. However, as we have all seen this season, being inappropriate is the norm for Kenya, but I was even taken aback that she would actually threaten to physically strike an eight month pregnant woman. While violence is never acceptable under any circumstance, to even think about hitting a pregnant woman is horrifically despicable and evidences anything but sanity. Even though she attempted to portray my supporters in a less than favorable light, please know that I am grateful for your support and I think that you are the best!”

Phaedra also decided to turn the tables on Kenya for calling her fat and suggested her comments are irresponsible and further demonstrates that she isn’t qualified to put out a fitness DVD:

“During the reunion and prior episodes, Kenya has commented that I am “fat” and should not be doing a workout video, which is laughable. However, in a society where young girls and women struggle with body image issues that lead to deadly illnesses such as bulimia and anorexia, it is very irresponsible for a person whose entire body shape is due to plastic surgery to criticize any woman who is natural. Furthermore, it is fraud for her to suggest that she achieved her physique through exercise rather than plastic surgery intervention. If she were being honest, she would just give a referral to her plastic surgeons, rather than make a workout DVD. Many of you didn’t know I was pregnant when we shot our DVD. Nonetheless, my husband and I made our DVD for people much like ourselves who work regular jobs, are parents, and want to work out rather than opt to have plastic surgery. Everybody knows everyone isn’t tall; everyone isn’t skinny; and everyone isn’t voluptuous, but every body is beautiful and deserves to be celebrated. Our DVD strives to help people be comfortable in their own skin while enjoying an effective workout.”

Phaedra Parks and Kenya Moore have spent most of season five of Real Housewives of Atlanta going back and forth about their fitness DVDs, and of course the competition got pretty nasty when both started to take shots at the other’s body. Kenya says Phaedra is too fat to try to sell a fitness DVD, while Phaedra says Kenya’s booty is too fake for her to sell hers. Regardless, Kenya did manage to outsell Phaedra on Amazon, but it hasn’t managed to slow down the feud any. In addition to dragging each other over the DVDs, Phaedra has also been telling the media that Kenya tried to have an affair with Apollo. In the upcoming second part of the reunion show, Phaedra will confront Kenya about some flirty texts she sent Apollo, but Kenya says all she did was flirt and Apollo was actually the one who initiated the text conversation. Phaedra tells In Touch Weekly:

“Let’s get this clear, my husband just asked her for advice on an acting coach. Kenya continued to text him, saying, ‘Oh, you look nice. She propositioned him with a sexual act.

“I have a strong marriage. It’s not like Kenya revealed something I didn’t know. There are no secrets.”

Kenya tells the publication that she only flirted and nothing more happened:

“Hitting on and flirting are two different things. That man is married. I respect the sanctity of marriage.”

The showdown between Kenya and Phaedra will continue on part two of the reunion, and it’s been said that both will attempt to provide “proof” that the other is lying about what really happened with Apollo.

Season five of Real Housewives of Atlanta may be over, but the first part of the reunion show premiered Sunday night and most of it consisted of Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks going back and forth over their fitness DVDs. Although Kenya has been outselling Phaedra on Amazon, Phaedra has already made it clear that she doesn’t believe the reports. When asked why she didn’t believe the reports, Phaedra suggested Kenya booty is a fake and was achieved by silicone injections. Kenya of course denied Phaedra’s claims and decided to fight back by calling her too fat to sell a fitness DVD. At the reunion, things got so heated between them that Kenya ended up telling Phaedra she’d knock her teeth out while she’s pregnant. Of course folks weren’t too happy Kenya would admit being close to physically assaulting a pregnant woman, so Kenya decided to quiet the backlash by admitting she went too far in her Bravo blog.

Kenya writes:

“I hate liars. We all saw Phaedra lie last season about the timing of her pregnancy, lie to Cynthia, etc. She never told the truth and will never tell the truth about her video sales. However, that didn’t warrant any threat toward a pregnant woman. I was keeping my composure but that was unacceptable. Having said that, whether you are #TeamStallion or team broke-down donkey, my fitness video sales have broken records and the video is and remains more successful than hers. The facts are the facts. I’ve outsold her and have the more successful video. She can lie about my “fake” body all she wants, no one cares or believes her. Nice try phony Phae Phae, your smear campaign was an epic failure.”

When it comes to the Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks beef, it’s clear both aren’t done taking shots at the other’s booty and fitness knowledge. Both released their own fitness DVDs, but in the end Kenya Moore’s Booty Bootcamp would outsell Phaedra’s Phine Body/Donkey Booty series. Although Kenya says Phaedra isn’t in the position to give fitness advice because she says she thinks she’s fat and has eaten too many cheeseburgers; Phaedra doesn’t think Kenya is qualified either because she thinks Kenya’s booty is full of silicone. So it’s no shocker that the issue comes up at the upcoming reunion show for season five of Real Housewives of Atlanta. In fact, the two reality stars argue over the matter when Andy Cohen brought up the battle between the two DVDs. Kenya of course took the first shot, and told Phaedra she was too fat to be selling a fitness DVD:

“It’s a gimmick. She’s silly. She’s roaming around and all she can talk about is her booty. She’s obviously overweight to be doing a fitness video. You are 5’2 and before you had the blessing to get pregnant…you’re 5’2 weighing 150 pounds and i’m 5’10 and weigh 145. You’re overweight. Your BMI is not where it should be to be selling the dream. Why sell a fitness DVD that hasn’t worked on you?”

Of course Phaedra clapped back, and told Kenya everything about her was fake including her booty and her relationship with Walter Jackson:

“You’re selling a booty made in Mexico. From the contacts, to those boobs, to your booty, to that fake relationship with Walter. Have a seat.”

Of course the other housewives looked on while the two argued and couldn’t contain their laughter when Phaedra called her relationship with Walter fake.

Kenya Moore Addresses Fake Booty Rumors & Kicking Porsha out of Party

Phaedra Parks and Kenya Moore’s beef has been a very vicious one. After Phaedra decided to not partner with Kenya to put out her workout DVD, both began to insult each other’s booties and launch personal attacks over the failed business deal. In the end, the DVD’s would go against each other on Amazon, and for now, the clear winner in sales is Kenya Moore. Regardless, Phaedra says she’s not convinced that she was outsold by Kenya, and even claimed she thinks Kenya’s booty is all silicone. Kenya of course denied the claims, however, she decided to take to her Bravo blog to elaborate further on the accusations. Kenya writes:

When Phaedra takes the “fake” jabs at me dating back to MANY episodes ago when Kandi first told her of my video, my recent shady responses are now reflective of that. I never throw the first punch, but I will knock you out. I only have so many cheeks to turn. If you have been watching the show, it’s obvious that I work out 5-6 times a week. I have 18% body fat at 5’10” and weigh a healthy 145lbs. I’ve been on covers and in countless men’s magazines like Maxim, and I am known for my Beyonce-like bootylicious curves. Phaedra’s only card to play is that my posterior is not natural. It’s getting real old phony Phae Phae. My loyal fans, who have seen me through the years, know that those comments are being made out of spite in an effort to negatively impact my video sales. My bum goes up and down with my weight, and no silicone in the world does that. This is a prime example of what I mean when I say Phaedra is dirty. She goes for the jugular. When angered, she attacks you on every level imaginable. (I’m an alcoholic, bipolar, have a fake booty, crazy). Let’s set the record straight… I won the swimsuit competition in Miss USA and 2nd in Miss Universe. I was younger and much thinner (128) and these curves were there 20 years ago. Enough said.

Interestingly enough, there are rumors suggesting Phaedra lets Kenya have it on the reunion show about her booty and she may even have proof to back up that Kenya is not all natural.

Although Kenya recently said she plans to support Porsha Stewart through her divorce and wishes her the best, she couldn’t resist slamming her nemesis in her most recent blog over the whole costume incident that went down at her recent shindig. Kenya wanted Porsha to come to the party dressed up as Halle Berry from B.A.P.S., however, some feel Porsha (who Kenya says is an idiot) outsmarted her and decided to dress as Dorothy Dandridge instead because she figured Kenya was trying to make a fool out of her. Kenya ended up kicking Porsha out of the event. She also denies that she had the intentions to be messy and writes:

I put a lot of time and effort into the party. I thought of each woman individually and assigned them costumes based on who their dynamic personalities. It was easy… I chose Kandi as iconic Tina Turner, because she is a powerhouse musical talent, strong, sexy and bold. I saw Cynthia as the iconic Diana Ross from Mahogany as she struggled in love and her modeling career in the film. Phaedra loves to flaunt her sexuality and her body and iconic Eartha Kitt as Catwoman was a perfect fit. NeNe was a no brainer as iconic Grace Jones. She was beyond powerful, bold, fierce, and untraditionally beautiful and simply stunning on screen. I knew NeNe would own it, and she did! Iconic Pam Grier had alarming beauty, obnoxious curves, and she owned being a strong, sexy, take-no-prisoners, kick ass and take names later, bad-ass. I live for her and was happy to pay homage to one of the most incredible women to ever be seen on the silver screen. Halle Berry is and will always be one of the most beautiful women in the world. In B.A.P.S., she was a young, pretty, unpolished, fun, and likable diamond in the rough. Her character arc showed her grow, mature, and become a beautiful polished Black American Princess who was willing to accept change. Perhaps, my vision was too complex for a self-centered little girl to understand.

Tea Spilling: Kenya Moore Puts Walter Jackson on Blast, Again

Who would have imagined that Walter Jackson and Kenya Moore’s awkward on-screen romance would lead to so much off-screen drama? We surely didn’t, but it appears both Walter and Kenya continue to keep their “romance” alive even though it’s over for some odd reason thanks to the shots they keep taking at each other. Of course, things have been ugly between both ever since Walter claimed that the relationship was staged just to secure Kenya’s spot on the reality show (a claim most of the other ladies of Real Housewives of Atlanta say they believe), but Kenya says Walter is just being malicious, all because he wants his 15 minutes of fame. It would have been pretty interesting to see Kenya and Walter battle it out in front of the cameras for the reunion show, however, Walter was snubbed and didn’t get an invite by Bravo because they want Kenya back for the next season. So in the meantime, Walter and Kenya continue to take shots at each other on Twitter and it’s clear the beef won’t be ending any time soon.

In a recent Bravo blog, Kenya once again decided to drag her “ex” Walter, and this time she moves past the gay accusations and claims the Atlanta business man has had two failed marriages and a child out of wed lock. Of course she did brag about showing up to the event with retired Atlanta Falcons running back Jamal Anderson (who interestingly enough was allegedly caught in the bathroom with cocaine a couple of years ago), whom she feels is more of a man than Walter could ever be. She also says she knows she’s a great woman because she was proposed to six times

Kenya writes:

“God has blessed me so much in my life. A testament to one of his blessings is that he gave me the courage to live my dreams, to step outside the box and be brave, bold, and often irreverent, but most of all he made me resilient. Men will come and go from your life. It felt good to be on the arm of someone (NFL star Jamal Anderson) who respects me, who makes me feel safe, makes me laugh, and has always supported me in every way possible for over 15 years. We have never dated because the timing has never been right. But we have great respect and admiration for each other. He is a true friend and class act, and I know his heart. That being said, trust me when I say people will show you who they are, but you must believe them the first time. God showed me who my ex was early on and I ignored the signs because I wanted a family so badly and was willing to settle for someone who never deserved me.

“A REAL man would never lead a woman on, try to humiliate or hurt them, or try to intimidate them once you have broken up for the sake of more camera time or fame. No one forced anyone to be mean, hateful, evil, or stupid. I’ve dated some incredible men in my life, all of whom I have remained friends with except him. I have been proposed to 6 times, and I respectfully declined as I was not ready. I am not the person with not one, but TWO FAILED MARRIAGES and a child out of wedlock. I have been careful for a reason. This is a testament to my character and how I treat people — specifically ones with whom I have had an intimate relationship. Intimacy, in my opinion, is when you are vulnerable with someone, you share secrets, are open to love, and you take care of their emotional well-being. I have been accused of breaking some hearts in my day, but I assure you, I respect those with whom I have been a real friend. The foundation to any relationship is a true friendship. Seeing the evil spirit that exists in him was a blessing.”

Kenya again claims Walter is gay for not being interested in her:

“This is a no H8 zone. My ego isn’t that big to intimate homosexuality because someone doesn’t want to sleep with me. However, when you have seen countless questionable misogynistic behaviors coupled with ex-wives and ex-girlfriends who share your suspicions, your uncertainties may be perfectly valid. Additionally, being a “man whore” doesn’t make you straight any more than being a virgin does. You are sexually attracted to whom you are attracted in your heart. Whether you are gay or straight, you should be free to be who you are in life without the scrutiny and judgment of others. When you live your life as a lie, you lie to the world every single day. Your lies compound to the point where nothing you say or do is the truth. You will never be happy in life unless you are your authentic self and living an authentic life. And to be very clear, sexuality has nothing to do with one’s character. Your heart, your actions, and your intent is the compilation of your spirit. I do not judge. (I only see your heart). One should love whom they want to love in life. Be happy being you. AUTHENTIC. TRUTHFUL. REAL.”

Kandi Burruss & Phaedra Parks Defend Walter

Kenya Moore and Walter Jackson may be over, but their drama is still lingering on and off the camera. At the beginning of the season, Kenya and a very uninterested Walter appeared to be dating, but Walter would shake things up after he told a radio station in Atlanta that he and Kenya were just faking their romance for the cameras. Kenya clapped back and claimed Walter was lying and just looking for fame, however, even Kenya’s cast mates have expressed they feel Walter is telling the truth. Walter wanted to bring “proof” that the romance was staged to the reunion show, but Bravo decided against inviting him and he took to Twitter to blast the network for not giving him a change to “expose” Kenya. But Walter appears to still be a factor for some reason on the show, and Kenya wasn’t too happy to see Walter at Kandi’s shindig on the last episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta.

To no surprise, Kandi Burruss and Phaedra Parks think Kenya was being a little overdramatic about the whole situation and in their recent Bravo blogs they even claimed they actually knew Walter way before they knew Kenya. So since they were already friends with him, they feel they should be able to invite him to events without Kenya having an issue. They also say they aren’t buying Kenya’s whole gay talk about Walter and question if she’s making more out of things to create drama for the cameras.

Kandi writes:

“Well, let me go back to my friend Greg Wynn who owns CTC construction with one of my best friends, his wife Tan. Greg is also Walter’s friend. Some people asked why I would invite Walter. Honestly I didn’t know if Todd invited Walter, if he came with Greg and Tan, or whatever, but it really didn’t matter. Kenya and I are cool, and I don’t want to make her uncomfortable, but I’ve known Walter longer. Because of our connection through our mutual friends, Todd and I have hung out with Walter multiple times even after his breakup or whatever went on between him and Kenya. So I prefer to stay out of the middle of the Walter/Kenya drama. I’m not going to exclude him from an event just because of her, and I wouldn’t exclude her because of him.

“It wasn’t the first time he was at the same event she attended. She seemed just fine at Peter’s event, so I didn’t expect for her to flip out the way she did at my house warming. I do not agree with Kenya about Walter. I don’t think he’s a stalker, and I don’t think he’s gay. I think whatever they had ended badly, but they just need to let it go and move on.”

Phaedra wasn’t as nice as Kandi was about the situation and basically echoed Porsha Stewart’s views on Kenya and claimed she likes to play the victim a little too much:

“Some of us always have to play the victim in order to be the center of attention. In this week’s episode we see that in epic fashion with our resident twirler Kenya. As always, she assumes that every event is about her. This week is no different.

“Atlanta is a major metropolitan city; however, as in any town or city, there are small social circles. It isn’t unusual to see many of the same faces at every event you attend. While I’ve known Kenya for approximately six months, I’ve known her alleged ex-beau Walter Jackson for well over a decade. He has been a fixture in Atlanta’s social scene since I met him. Since he and my husband met, they have enjoyed a blossoming friendship. When he and my husband spoke as we were en route to Kandi’s party, there was no reason to call anyone to alert them that he was coming as he was their invited guest. Please know that Apollo and I would never invite anyone to someone else’s home as that is socially tacky and uncouth. It’s very egocentric to expect someone to adjust their guest list according to your preferences. Kandi’s estate is large enough that everyone at the party could’ve played hide and seek and never been found, so why did Kenya assume he came with a date to find her? It was obvious he didn’t want her when they were allegedly together, so why would he want her now?”

Kenya Moore Goes After the RHOA Husbands

Kenya Moore may be bringing in the ratings for season five of Real Housewives of Atlanta, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t earned the mean girl label for the season. If anything, that’s just confirmation. Fresh from her success in the workout DVD battle with Phaedra Parks, Kenya is still not quite free from the situation with Walter Jackson. Walter went to an Atlanta radio and claimed that his relationship with Kenya was staged, per her request. Kenya denied it and pretty much dogged Walter on the show and via Twitter, and Walter was hoping he could get revenge by getting an invitation to the reunion show to “expose” her. Bravo wasn’t having it though, and Kenya finds that amusing. However, Walter is still popping up at events that Kenya’s been showing up to, and Kenya feels it’s a scheme by the other housewives to make her act a fool on camera.

After suggesting that the other housewives are trying to set her up by inviting Walter to events that she’s planning to attend, Kenya then redirects her frustrations to their husbands, and says they are being vindictive for chatting it up with Walter at events he shouldn’t even have been invited to in the first place.

In her Bravo blog, she writes:

“I find it interesting that Peter, Apollo, and Kordell act like catty little women more than their wives. Is that even possible? I am choosing my words carefully but they act like little (rhymes with witches). They were all salivating at the mouth to listen to my spiteful, dateless ex hurl pitiful and juvenile comments aimed to insult and degrade me after seeing how fabulous I looked at the event with my famous friend. I twirled in looking Gone with the Wind Fabulous. I felt incredible that night, and after seeing how dumb and trite a 46-year-old-mid-life-crisis-having ‘man’ can act, I also clearly mitigated my damages by dodging a bullet in the relationship department.

“My ex may have been invited by Peter, but he knew full-well cameras would be present and yet he showed up anyway after I asked him not to attend any functions where he knew I would be. Atlanta may be small, but when you are a fame Slore riding off the coattails of someone else’s celebrity, you seek out any moment you can to get your 15 minutes. The same is true for Kandi’s housewarming. I adore Kandi, but she knew he would be there and it was obviously a trap to get me to get into some big drama-filled spectacle of a blow out with my ex. Phaedra, Apollo, and Peter all conspired to purposely make me feel uncomfortable, threatened, and embarrassed, so I immediately left. No one puts Baby in the corner!”

Check out a clip of Walter kicking it with the RHOA husbands and infuriating Kenya in the process:

Kenya Moore Blasts Walter on Twitter

Kenya Moore might currently be the winner of the battle of the workout DVDs and outselling Phaedra Parks, but Phaedra isn’t the only source of drama for Kenya these days. Late last year, Kenya’s on-screen beau Walter Jackson made headlines when he went to Atlanta radio station V-103 and claimed that Kenya asked him to fake a relationship so she could secure her spot on Real Housewives of Atlanta. Apparently the network (Bravo) requires that all of the “housewives” have some kind of romance going on in their lives to secure a spot on the show. Walter stated that although he and Kenya did really date in the past, they haven’t been romantically involved in three years.

Kenya of course denied the allegations, and released a statement suggesting that Walter was just making up lies to become a star in his own right. However, Walter stands by his claims and even tried to get the Bravo execs to send him an invite to the reunion show, so he could provide proof that his relationship with Kenya was indeed a fake. Unfortunately for Walter, Bravo didn’t take him up on the offer, and if the rumors contain any truth, it’s because the network feels they need Kenya to keep ratings intact.

Walter was heated though and took to his Twitter account to slam both Bravo and Kenya for the snub. In the rant, Walter claimed that he was not compensated by Kenya to fake the romance and only did it because they were good friends. And of course he’s not happy that Kenya has been openly throwing his sexuality under a bus and dissing him on the show, on Twitter, and even in her latest music video for “Gone With The Wind Fabulous.”

Kenya of course decided to clap back, and the reality star says that Walter is nothing but a “fame whore,” and can’t get an interview to save his life these days:

It’s obvious that Bravo is trying to protect their cash cow Kenya Moore, but we have to admit inviting Walter to the reunion would have definitely made for good TV.

Interestingly enough, Walter’s story may still make for some good blog posts because we do actually know a few big time bloggers who are in talks with Walter right now to get his story and that proof he was so anxious to bring to the reunion. Something tells us Kenya is going to wish she didn’t speak so soon on that whole “Walter can’t get an interview” bit because that’s definitely not true.

Walter Jackson Slams Bravo & Kenya Moore for Reunion Snub

It’s pretty understandable why Real Housewives of Atlanta achieved record-breaking ratings in its fifth season, and one name should sum that up perfectly: Kenya Moore. The new reality star proved that she was a natural at making a show messy enough to keep viewers tuned in week after week, and that was easy for her since she managed to drag out her on-screen beefs with Phaedra Parks and Porsha Stewart. But the biggest scandal Kenya has been involved in this season actually took place away from the cameras. Late last year, Walter Jackson, who was her on-screen beau, went to an Atlanta radio station and claimed that he and Kenya were faking their romance for the cameras. Kenya denied the allegations made by Walter, but Walter said he has proof to back it up, and was trying his best to convince the Bravo execs to send him an invite for the reunion show so he could expose her.

Welp, the taping for the reunion show went down last night, and Walter was not in attendance. And of course he took to his Twitter account to make it known that he is not happy about the snub and he claims that he’s furious that Bravo continues to let Kenya make up lies about him on the air.

He also claims that he was not paid to fake the romance and only did it because they were friends and he wanted to help her get a spot on the show.

He tweets (read from the bottom up):

And since we’re talking about Walter and Kenya, we heard from a little birdie that Bravo didn’t want to invite Walter to the reunion not because they don’t believe him, but because they want to protect their cash cow Kenya Moore’s rep just enough to keep her around for the next season. In fact, not only does NeNe Leakes believe Walter is telling the truth, but allegedly so do the execs at Bravo. However, Bravo is really desperate to keep the ratings high, and they don’t think they can do that without Kenya Moore.

Kenya Moore Explains Why She Thinks Phaedra Parks is a Fraud

And the Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks beef continues. If you’ve been watching season five of Real Housewives of Atlanta, then you know things got really sour between Kenya and Phaedra once the business deal to distribute Phaedra’s fitness DVD Phine Body/Donkey Booty didn’t happen. Both of the reality stars couldn’t agree on the terms, so Phaedra ended up going with another distribution company and Kenya clapped back with a fitness DVD of her own entitled Booty Bootcamp. Although Phaedra was initially a bestseller on Amazon, it’s being reported by multiple reports that Kenya is outselling her. Although Phaedra claims she thinks the reports are BS, Kenya says the results aren’t surprising because she actually works out. Of course Phaedra thinks Kenya’s DVD is BS and recently claimed she believed that Kenya wasn’t qualified to have a DVD because her booty is “full of silicone.”

So it’s pretty clear that Kenya and Phaedra don’t plan on squashing their beef anytime soon, and in her latest Bravo blog, Kenya says Phaedra is nothing more than a fraud.

She writes:

“The girls’ trip was very challenging for me. Keeping my cool, turning the other cheek, and going out of my way to make a concerted effort to be kind to all the ladies was my plan. However, it goes against my spirit to be phony and fake. For others like phony Phae-Phae, it’s second nature. To add insult to injury, Phaedra in particular went out of her way to be an evil, vindictive, ugly person to me during the trip. The last straw was the underhanded insensitive, and snide remark about my lack of sexual prowess when it comes to keeping my ex. Yet, in the same breath she spitefully calls me a whore during her interviews. On the one hand she calls herself a preacher’s daughter quoting the bible and proclaiming to be an upright Southern belle, and on the other hand in the same breath calls me a whore for not marrying my ex.

“She is a fraud in every way imaginable, including her fictitious “Southern belle character” she plays on TV or the 30 pounds she Photoshopped off her photo from her DVD cover. FRAUD! I shoot straight from the hip and do not play games. I’ve tried to settle our differences by communicating to Phaedra that we can’t pretend like there is no issue if we have any hope at ever resolving them. All the conscientious and intentional cruelty from Phaedra needed to be addressed before it could get any uglier.

“Without losing my cool, I tried to explain that she took the disagreement to another level of the lowest kind by starting viscous, unfounded, and slanderous rumors about me. If she had an issue with me, she should have been woman enough to talk directly to me about it. Yet, she felt more comfortable being slick, underhanded, and malicious. Had she only admitted that she was wrong for her spiteful actions and apologized, we could have left the door cracked open for a friendship. However, after pointless bickering back and forth, I realized that she would never give me what I wanted. Just as NeNe said, I saw her for the person she really is and not who she fraudulently pretends to be.”

Kenya says that despite how nasty things have gotten between her and Phaedra, she feels the best revenge is success and a fitness DVD that outsells Donkey Booty:

“Success is the best revenge. My Booty Boot Camp workout DVD has officially outsold Phaedra’s video in one day! When I commit to something, I put my heart and my soul into it. That’s whether I’m working on my own projects in development or for someone else. I’m a talented producer with a unique skill set and strong vision. Hence, the moniker Moore Vision Media… I’ve been blessed to have the options of working on a project and seeing it come to fruition. I’ve never felt stronger or been more physically attuned to my body. At 40 plus I have managed to keep fit and I humbly share those secrets in my DVD. I want to thank everyone who has made it a success.”
