As it turns out, former Miss America, Kenya Moore, isn't getting along with the new Season 7 cast members of The Real Housewives of Atlanta than she is with the old ones. According to the latest gossip news updates, Moore accidently started a feud with Demetria Kinney by acting as though her music producer boyfriend, Roger Bob, was still on the dating market. Apparently, it wasn't enough for Moore to get word about Demetria and Roger's romance through the grapevine, she had to get the info from the horse's mouth. After Moore got Bob to confess that he was with Kinney, Kenya picked a fight with the newcomer during taping, only to immediately remember that she had better smooth things over before Demetria tells her man that Moore is persona non grata. One of the executive producers for the Bravo TV show as well as Love and Hip Hop on VH1 defended his series as no more promoting the Black stereotype than Real Housewives of Orange County reinforces the white stereotype.
Kenya Moore was forced to deal with an unwelcome shock this week, when the Real Housewives of Atlanta troublemaker realized that her chances of marrying successful music producer, Roger Bob, were next to nil.
After Claudia broke the news to Moore that she had heard people say that Demetira Kinney was Roger's longtime girlfriend, she seemed so perplex that she went to Bob's to hear it from him straight -- only to have him plainly declare that , "she's my lady."
Still reeling from the blow, Kenya went into taping with Kinney and quickly got into a fight, before doing her best to call a truce before things got out of hand (via Hollywood Reporter):
"I do not want your man, I have never wanted your man...you do not have anything to worry about.
"I like money and a successful career and your man can help me with that."
While catty interactions like Kenya and Demetria's are sometimes pointed to as reinforcing negative stereotypes about Black people, executive producer Carlos King, says that is insulting and indicative of the double standards for race in this country (via Atlanta Daily World):
"I then always ask myself if my white counterparts get asked the same question, and I highly doubt they do, so why the double standard?
"I think it's so interesting that as it pertains to Black people, every single thing that we do, we have to make sure that we're representing everyone in our culture and are not allowed to represent ourselves and who we are as individuals.
"Too often individual behavior is implied as a direct reflection for an entire race of people and justified as a stereotype. This is an unfair double standard."
Fair enough.
