Kenya Moore has had a crazy 24 hours. The reality star of Real Housewives of Atlanta is caught in the middle of a controversy after her own screen boyfriend Walter Jackson told a radio station in Atlanta that Kenya asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend for the cameras. Walter claimed that although he and Kenya did date for three months three years ago, they were not at any point in a relationship during taping of the show. The shocking allegations come just one week after it was revealed in pictures on Instagram that Walter is currently romantically involved with an up and coming singer in Atlanta. During the interview with V-103, Walter stated that although he did agree to the fake relationship, he could no longer continue to fake for the cameras once Kenya started to pressure him about marriage and starting a family in front of the cameras. He insisted Kenya did not tell him that she would go that far and as a result, he just had to walk away from the situation.
One of the reasons Walter claimed her felt the need to expose the staged relationship is simply because he says Kenya has been going all around town suggesting that things didn’t work with Walter because he is gay. Of course Walter denied that he was gay and admitted that he is romantically involved with the singer he was rumored to currently be dating.
Since the reports began to circulate the gossip blogs, Kenya Moore has been pretty tight-lipped. But earlier today, in a series of tweets, she suggested that Walter is lying and she plans to give her side of the story later Tuesday.
She tweets:
I want to thank all my close friends who have reached out to me yesterday. I love you all and appreciate your genuine kindness and support.

Everyone is so quick to jump to conclusions when people lie. Look to someone’s motivations

“@ok_adrienne: @kenyamoore if it’s not true, by all means, speak on it.” I will address the statements later today. Thanks for the support.

She is lying I totally believe that he is telling the truth..Look how they act on the show it don’t seem like he cares too much about what she does..I can’t stand her…
I believe Walter. They had absolutely no chemistry on the show. And she seems desperate enough to do something like this.
Nah, Team Walter! No one believes you Kenya. LOL!
Kenya baby you have been exposed! Own it and hope Bravo doesn’t give you the boot. It’s not like you have a real storyline anyway.
This whole things is a HAM! I doubt she will admit to any of this because it just confirms how pathetic we already thought she was. I think Kenya would have been done better on the show had she been herself. Now she looks crazy.
Nope. I think Walter was telling the truth. He doesn’t even seem like the kind of guy to make up something like this. He’s too laid back for that.
Is she broke or something. I just don’t understand why she would go to these extremes for RHOA. Weird.
This is pretty sad. I’m curious of what she plans on saying later though.
I think its mighty funny how she can write a long letter dissing Cynthia or Porshia but she has to get back to us to address the Walter situation. that right there tells me that she is lying and was caught off guard and now she tryin to come up with a better lie or trying to find some dirt on Walter. either way she is so pathetic!
I actually believe Kenya. Next week she dumps Walter on the show and I think he wanted to come out with this to save himself from embarrassment. Kenya’s crazy but I don’t think she’s an extravagant liar, and come on just look at her. She wouldn’t have to beg a guy to spend time with her. It’s absurd to even believe that men are above acknowledging her physical beauty and accomplishments. Someone would still want her even with all of that crazy
I don’t understand why this woman would need to ask anyone to pretend to be her bf, much less a loser like Walter. Can’t she just find another bf? She’s gorgeous and maybe a little crazy, but that seems to stem from a bit of insecurity. She’ll be just fine.
I believe Walter….hope he appears at the reunion with proof…..
