According to a new report, Kenya Moore will star on Food Network's upcoming celebrity edition of "Worst Cooks in America" and apparently, the Real Housewives of Atlanta caused major drama on set of competitive cooking show.
According to The Daily Mail, Moore had a meltdown on the set of Food Network's reality show, Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition. The ninth season of the competitive cooking series has been filming in New York City and Moore caused major drama on set when she was eliminated after the first episode after preparing 'an overcooked piece of fish.'
According to the publication, the Bravo reality star held up production for two hours after refusing to leave the set, declaring: "I'm calling my agents and they better fix this s***" while stomping around.
"You would have thought she was filming a scene for Real Housewives of Atlanta the way she carried on. She cursed at the producers, badmouthed the judges and ranted: "Without me this damn show will fail",' a source close to the production told The Daily Mail.
"She did everything except twirl around in circles as she does on Real Housewives; the only problem was, the cameras had stopped rolling!" the source added.
Moore was outraged that the show's judges - celebrity chefs Anne Burrell and Rachael Ray - sent her home early for preparing what they called 'an overcooked piece of fish'.
Apparently, the former Miss USA took particular umbrage with Chef Burrell, who criticized Moore for wearing an inappropriate wardrobe and six-inch stilettos in the kitchen.
During her post-show blow-up, Moore said that Burrell was 'jealous of her beauty' and 'had it out for me the entire time.'
The other celebrities who are competing alongside Kenya Moore in the upcoming Food Network show includes actress Nicole Sullivan, reality star Michael 'The Situation' Sorrentino, comedienne Loni Love, actress Barbara Eden, comedian Tommy Davidson, TV host John Henson, actress Mindy Cohn and actor Matt Dallas.
Apparently, both producers and some of her fellow celebrities on Worst Cooks in America tried to calm her down, but she would not budge.
"Producers of the show kept trying to get her to leave. They needed to tape the exit scene with her and she refused to go. They needed her to tape her farewell commentary and she refused to. She was dropping F-bombs like no one they had ever seen before," said the source.
Hollywood actress Barbara Eden, 84, was allegedly the most appalled by Moore's behavior.
She said to fellow cast members: "This is what happens when you start calling any ole person a celebrity. Those awful reality shows reward such uncouth behavior and breeds people like Kenya."
Former In Living Color star Davidson started cracking jokes about Moore to the delight of the fellow contestants.
"He said she was reality TV's Bernie Sanders - grumpy, mad and refusing to go despite their time being up," the source recalled.
After more than two hours, Moore's agents convinced the RHOA star that she had to leave the set before producers had security physically remove her.
The publication claims that even on her exit she made a scene.
"I'm TV gold you a**holes. This season will suck without me," she screamed as she finally stormed out. "It's safe to say you'll never see her on another Food Network show or any series in the Scripps TV family of networks ever again. She's ruined that relationship for good," the source concluded.
This isn't the first time Kenya Moore caused drama on a set of a competitive reality show. In 2014, she clashed with Brandi Glanville and Vivica A. Fox on the seventh season of The Celebrity Apprentice.
It was reported that Moore was 'holy terror to the crew' who demanded 'special treatment and extra days off'.
Donald Trump told Moore during Celebrity Apprentice taping: "You're the most evil woman I've ever met in my life"
