Kenya Moore's ex-husband, Marc Daly, has some words for Andy Cohen amid his former partner's RHOA scandal!
Daly showed up to defend the reality star and accused Cohen of being sneaky in his involvement in Moore's suspension.
Kenya Moore was booted out of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" indefinitely for sharing explicit images of Brittany Eady allegedly performing oral sex.
Kenya Moore's Ex Calls Cohen 'The Snake-In-Chief'
The restaurant owner took to Instagram Live to speak about his experience on the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" show while he was still married to Moore.
According to him, he built amazing memories with everyone he met through the show except for "the producers and Mr. Cohen..The snake-in-chief."
He continued by calling his viewers' attention to "how they did Kenya dirty," adding that it would never have happened if he had not been on the show. The restaurant owner then stated:
"A husband sometimes gotta stand up, the same way a wife has to protect her husband if he's going off the rail."
Daly declared that Moore "still would have got a check," despite the controversial atmosphere surrounding her sudden exit from the show in the video posted on The Neighborhood Talk's Instagram.

Fans flocked to the restaurant owner's comment section to air their views about his controversial comments. While he got some on his side, others felt he also had a part to play in Moore's story.
One user wrote, "You did her the dirtiest, Bye Marc," as another quickly added, "Marc, you did her dirty as well join the team." This commenter commended Moore's ex, writing:
"Now if Marc comes in and defends Kenya….you know she wasn't treated fairly. Hmmm."
This user came in with another interesting perspective and seemingly attributed Daly's sudden concern to "a spousal support plea." Another user backed their point by noting:
"He's just mad cuz whatever payment he was getting from her is going to be reduced. He enjoyed that she was the breadwinner."
Another fan rushed to Daly's defense, writing, "She doesn't pay him spousal support the need for people to vilify people they don't know is weird. The user added that Daly was "already successful prior to their marriage" and they are now divorced, "end of story."
Moore Appreciated The Lack Of Toxicity Around Her After The Suspension
Before Daly's statement, The Blast reported that Moore had already spoken up for herself in an Instagram post shortly after her exit from the show.
The reality star shared a picture of her enjoying a much-needed time off with her daughter Brooklyn as Terica Marie's "Simple Things" played in the background.
Moore appreciated the fans' support and noted that, due to the outpouring of love and a clear conscience, she could happily enjoy spending time with her child.
She declared that "so many false claims hiding behind anonymous sources. All this conversation and no facts being reported. If a claim or source was valid, would they need to hide." Moore concluded her statement by acknowledging the blessings in her life, adding:
"My daughter and I will continue to thrive in a non-toxic environment where we feel appreciated and, most importantly, protected. Thank you, God, for covering us."
The Former Miss USA Got Her Co-Stars Support
Moore's fans were not the only ones rooting for the reality star. Fellow RHOA star Porsha Williams showed solidarity in the comment section and emphasized the importance of Moore's "beautiful vacation" with her daughter.
Moore's Bravo colleague from the "Real Housewives of New Jersey," Teresa Giudice, also expressed her thoughts in the comments, declaring, "The most important thing in life is your precious daughter."
Giudice and Williams' support adds to the number of Bravo stars aligned with the former beauty queen. "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville was particularly vocal about the whole saga and even took to X to call out the show's producers.
Kenya Moore Finalized Her Divorce From Marc Daly Last Year
The mom-of-one dissolved her marriage to Daly through private mediation last year, and she excitedly shared the news with her fans.
Per The Blast, an ever-grateful Moore did not forget to thank those who supported her through the journey. She expressed her eagerness to begin a new chapter of her life with Brooklyn.
Last January, the reality star described the divorce process as "the world's longest divorce" and blamed the delay on the lack of prenuptial agreement.
The TV star disclosed that they had separated in 2019, and she only filed for divorce in 2021, but they could not easily end things because of their properties and assets.
Moore did not disclose her reasons for ending the marriage, but she did note that her daughter was her only priority throughout the entire divorce process.
