Even off the reunion couch, Kenya Moore is serving piping hot reads, and this time, Phaedra Parks’ carnival-themed fairy ensemble is catching strays. The RHOA alum took to social media to roast her former frenemy’s reunion look with the precision of a seasoned fashion critic (and the petty of a reality TV queen).
In a livestream moment that instantly began making the rounds, Kenya pulled up a photo of Phaedra in her RHOA reunion look, a bold, gold carnival-inspired fairy ensemble, and, well… she had thoughts.
“Alexa, play ‘She Was a Fairy,'” Kenya said dramatically, holding up her iPad like she was at a fashion tribunal. “I know it was carnival. I know it was gold. And I know it was supposed to be a fairy. But that doesn’t mean be an actual fairy.”
She went on to drag the look from top to bottom and back again.
“The headpiece? The white blonde wig? The appliqués on the boobs? This is a hot, hot, steaming, smoking mess,” she said, pointing directly at Phaedra’s picture.
While Kenya insisted it wasn’t “personal,” fans of RHOA know better. The two have a history steeped in shade, scandal, and courtroom-worthy reads. Although their relationship has cooled in recent years, it’s clear that Kenya still isn’t above calling it as she sees it, especially when it comes to fashion.
“She missed the mark,” Kenya declared, closing the fashion case with a verbal gavel. “Whether you love her or not, we don’t care. I’m just talking about the look.”
Phaedra hasn’t publicly responded to Kenya’s critique yet, but fans are already choosing sides. Some say Kenya was too harsh. Others are applauding her for keeping it real. And a large majority? They’re just here for the mess.
However, that wasn’t the only surprise Kenya had in store for fans this week. Despite being a major player this season, she was noticeably absent from the reunion taping. According to Kenya, she was disinvited by the network.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Kenya expressed her disappointment but hinted at a future with the franchise.
“I’m disappointed to not be a part of the #RHOA16 reunion taping today,” she wrote. “Please know I take full accountability for my actions and deeply apologize to all those affected, including Brittney, the cast, crew, guests, and viewers. I look forward to seeing you all back on Bravo soon.”
Fairy wings or not, the shade is flying. Stay tuned, RHOA fans. This story is far from over.
