Kenya Moore isn’t sure if she is done with reality TV for good.
“I don’t know. I never say never,” Moore, 53, exclusively told Us Weekly when promoting her new children’s book Brooklyn Bound: Paris on Thursday, November 14. “Hell, I never say, ‘I’m not going to have another child.’ Who knows.”
Moore has appeared in nearly 10 seasons of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. While she was originally part of the season 16 cast, she abruptly exited the series due to an alleged explicit photo scandal.
“Thank you for all the support #teamtwirl,” Moore wrote via Instagram in June. “My heart is full and my conscience is clean. 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?”
In her latest interview with Us, Moore was hopeful redemption was coming.
“I know I’m a tough cookie,” she shared. “I think for me, in the history of me in this whole TV world or reality TV world, I think that what I say always comes to light. The truth always comes to light, and I’m always right.”
When asked to share what she learned about herself in the last few months, Moore realized she is stronger than she thinks she is.
“No one wants to be in a situation where you’re painted in a way that you know isn’t the truth or is rooted in the truth,” she said. “No one wants to read awful things about themselves, not be able to speak up and not be able to tell your truth. But I’ve learned in my big age that I have survived much worse. It’s fun to be able to take anything negative and put it behind you and focus on only things that are positive.”
One positive project Moore is working on is a new children’s book with her 6-year-old daughter, Brooklyn.
Titled Brooklyn Bound: Paris, the book takes readers on an exciting adventure through the City of Lights to celebrate Brooklyn’s birthday. With her mom by her side, the elementary school student explores the wonders of Paris including the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe.
With the book already proving to be successful, Moore is hoping the project can turn into an animated TV show.
“We are talking with my agents and we are trying to figure that out,” she said. “I don’t think there’s anything like it, especially with a Black single mom and a curious 6-year-old. At least I’m not aware of it if there is one. I would like to definitely turn this into an animated series.”
