The cries against Kenya Moore's unfair exit from the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" continue with Brandi Glanville slamming Bravo's toxic environment.
The former Bravolebrity, who starred on the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," recently dropped heated tweets against the network in favor of Moore. She slammed producers for creating a "villain" and then throwing her away.
Brandi Glanville's solidarity with Kenya Moore comes after she sued Bravo's executive producer, Andy Cohen, for sexual harassment.
Brandi Glanville Supports Kenya Moore Amid Sex Poster Scandal
The 51-year-old echoed her support for Moore on X following the latter's removal from "RHOA" over an alleged revenge porn scheme. The reality TV star was accused of sharing explicit posters of another housewife; a crime Glanville believes was rigged.
"Women are physically fighting on RHNJ & that seems to be ok with producers. Where is HR now?" Glanville pointed out, adding, "Also, I'm pretty sure producers pushed Kenya to show that video."
"They know what is going to happen before it does. Just like they all knew of Taylor's physical abuse as it was happening," the former Bravolebrity claimed, referencing the abuse "RHOBH" star Taylor Armstrong endured from her late ex-husband, Russell Armstrong.
In a separate tweet, she doubled down on Bravo being the problem in Moore's case, writing, "Create the villain, enable the villain, praise the villain, then punish the villain for being… a villain."
Glanville's Comments Spark Mixed Reactions From Fans
Following her support for Moore, X users shared mixed reactions to Glanville's words, with some noting she wasn't a suitable housewife to come to the latter's defense. "You laid hands on your #RHOBH cast members multiple times. Did you forget?" someone argued.
"You've been violent and belligerent on TV. Maybe sit this one out!" another displeased fan responded, with a third adding:
"You don't actually care about these issues. You're just mad about where you stand with the network (which is understandable, but don't act like you care)."
Meanwhile, Glanville's supporters applauded her for standing against Bravo, with one X user declaring, "As always you are strong and unapologetic, you will always be powerful, I admire and like you a lot Brandi! [love emoji]"
"Honestly, I think all the wronged bravo lebs should sue. Truly. This show has ruined a lot of their lives and profited off of them for far too long," another supporter added, while someone else slammed Bravo, noting, "They're absolutely inconsistent. Nothing makes sense."
Kandi Burruss Does Not Support Moore's Exit From 'RHOA'
Moore has received support from many Bravolebrities, with her longtime pal, Kandi Burruss, leading the fight against Bravo. The Blast recently reported the former Xscape singer slammed the network in an interview, noting the Housewives show was all about drama.
"A lot of people are like, 'How can you support that?' And I'm like, at the end of the day, she didn't make up anything about somebody," Burruss explained, noting that Moore "pulled some unfavorable receipts offline, which may not have been the nicest thing to do."
The former "RHOA" star stressed that housewives should always expect a response to on-camera conflict, stating: "You do not get to determine how strong the shade or whatever it is that's coming back at you. So that is my thing."
Why Did Bravo Fire Kenya Moore?
Moore's exit from the Bravo show came after she allegedly celebrated the grand opening of her salon with explicit posters of rookie housewife Brittany Eady performing oral sex.
Eady was absent from the event; however, "RHOA" cameras were reportedly rolling, capturing the scandalous moment. An insider claimed the posters Moore shared were "readily accessible" online and stemmed from Eady's "gun" threat before the opening ceremony.
However, a Bravo source refuted the threat claims, saying, "At no time was Kenya ever threatened with a weapon, nor was there ever a weapon present during the course of production."
Moore Denied The Sex Poster Rumors
Despite many claiming Moore shared explicit pictures of Eady, the "RHOA" star vehemently denied the allegations.
She expressed her innocence in the matter on her Instagram Story, writing: "Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. The truth always comes to light."
The former Miss USA titleholder echoed similar sentiments on X, claiming she would never retaliate against someone with degrading pictures. Her statement began:
"I would never engage in revenge porn, I have never distributed private images or footage of anyone, nor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail."
Moore also implied the rumors were made up, adding: "I have always been vindicated. I can't talk about STORY even with people planting fake news."
