Kenya Moore took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the current sit-down between Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Kyle Richards and Garcelle Beauvais.
If you recall, Richards hosted a charity event last season where she had an auction. Beauvais bid on an item. Cut to the Season 10 virtual reunion, Richards accused Beauvais of not paying her donation, which made things worst between the two.
On the current season of RHOBH, Richards and Beauvais sat down to clear the air. The Coming 2 Ameria actress questioned if Richards would’ve done the same if it was one of the other co-stars, who are white women. “Would you have said it to one of the white women?”
She explained to Kyle by accusing her of not paying her donation fed into anti-Black stereotypes. “This is how I feel. I feel like it was weaponized towards me being a Black woman. I know you probably didn’t do that intentionally, but I don’t think you recognize the effect that it has on me being a Black woman. There’s stereotypes that people think we don’t pay for our rent, that we don’t tip.”
Richards said it was not a racial issue and the two agreed to move on.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star is sharing her thoughts on their exchange by coming to Kyle's defense and seemingly shading Beauvais.
Morre tweeted, “I don’t think @KyleRichards calling Garcelle out about not paying her donation has anything to do with color. It’s not a black or white issue it’s a green issue. Let’s not pull the race card every episode. They weren’t cool at the time. Glad they talked it through #RHOBH”
Despite, seemingly shading Garcelle, Moore shared that she believes Beauvais is a “great addition" to RHOBH.
After getting backlash online for defending Kyle and calling out Garcelle for using the “race card,” Moore defended herself and wrote the following tweet:
“@GarcelleB paid once she was made aware of the oversight. Others did not. IMO Kyle would have called ANYONE out who she was beefing with-black OR white,” she wrote. “I’m a fan of @GarcelleB and @EboniKWilliams is a beast! We can be objective to facts and sensitive.”
Meanwhile, Kenya, who filmed the upcoming Peacock's Real Housewives All-Stars series along with Kyle Richards and Luann de Lesseps, also shared her thoughts on the recent drama that went down during this week's episode of The Real Housewives of New York City between Luann and newcomer Eboni K. Williams.
During Tuesday's episode of RHONY, Williams engaged in a heated and racially sensitive exchange with co-star Luann de Lesseps over education. The argument began after Ramona Singer and Leah McSweeney had a debate about whether it's appropriate to candidly discuss sex among friends, leading de Lesseps to step in and suggest that using vulgar words did not align with their conservative values. Williams chimed in and disagreed with de Lesseps.
“I don't subscribe to the fact that to use those words means you're unclassy or not a lady,” Williams said as de Lesseps replied, “It has nothing to do with class, it has to do with education.”
When Williams said that she's the “most educated person in this group,” de Lesseps argued that her co-star's degrees don't make her more educated. “That's probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard somebody say,” she said.
As the pair continued to go back and forth, Singer told her castmates to “bring it down” because her “ears are hurting.” Williams then told Singer that her “white fragility is killing me right now,” leading de Lesseps to warn the lawyer to not “go after” Singer's race since they didn't attack hers.
Williams later grew frustrated as her costars failed to see her side of things. “If you don't want me here because I'm not free to express how I feel about things, I will leave your property," said Williams. “I think you should go," de Lesseps quickly agreed. “You need to calm down and think about what you just said was very offensive to us.”
After the episode aired, Moore went to Luann's Instagram to comment on the topic, which was captured and shared by The Jasmine Brand. “LOL degrees make you more educated it doesn’t always mean they are more intelligent 😂,” she wrote.
