'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Brit Eady sues Bravo over explicit photo
Brit Eady is taking Bravo to court over the explicit photo incident that prompted Kenya Moore's exit from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Eady has filed a $20 million lawsuit against Bravo, NBC and the production companies Truly Original and Endemol Shine North America, accusing the defendants of defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false light, sexual harassment and hostile work environment. USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Bravo, NBCUniversal and Eady for comment. The lawsuit centers around an incident featured in an April episode of the reality show in which Moore revealed explicit photos, supposedly of Eady, on poster boards. The moment resulted in Moore being removed from the show, and the episode ended with a disclaimer that "based on Kenya's behavior, the decision was made to cease filming with her this season." 'Real Housewives of Atlanta': Reality show airs Kenya Moore's explicit photo incident that led to exit Eady says that the photos were not of her but that the episode falsely suggested they were. "The manner in which the episode was aired falsely yet unmistakably implied that the graphic sexual photograph presented by the cast member depicted (Eady)," the lawsuit said. "On information and belief, defendants knew that the photograph did not depict (Eady), or, at the least, were reckless or grossly negligent in failing to learn that the photograph did not depict (Eady). The lawsuit also alleged that the network refused to show Eady the photo before the episode aired. She accused the defendants of contributing to a "hostile work environment" and subjecting her to "unwelcome, offensive, and sexualized behavior and comments based on her gender by requiring her to continue working in an environment in which she had been subject to a gendered attack, creating an inferior condition or privilege of employment because of her gender." The suit calls for the episode to be removed from public platforms. Kenya Moore suspended indefinitely: She's off 'Real Housewives' amid 'revenge porn' allegations The same day that Eady's lawsuit was filed, Moore confirmed on X that she would not be taking part in a "Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion taping happening on June 5. "Please know I take full accountability for my actions and deeply apologize to all those affected including Brittney, the cast, crew, guests and viewers," she said. "I look forward to seeing you all back on Bravo soon." Contributing: Taijuan Moorman This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Brit Eady sues Bravo over 'RHOA' explicit photo incident

‘RHOA' Reunion Drama: Kenya Moore ‘Not Invited,' Brit Eady Not In Attendance + The Seating Chart
Source: Prince Williams / Getty The current season of Real Housewives of Atlanta is coming to an end, which means that the reunion is just around the corner, but when the season wrap-up airs on Bravo, two faces from the cast will be noticeably absent. Both Brit Eady and Kenya Moore (amidst their bitter feud) did not attend the recent taping. Per People , the reunion recently filmed on Thursday, June 5, in Atlanta, and while Moore not being present is that shocking, Eady's absence definitely is, as she was a main focal point of the season. According to the outlet, Eady's decision not to attend was her own, but Moore was reportedly not invited by Bravo. Confirming the reports, the network released the RHOA reunion seating chart and neither of the ladies were present. 'RHOA' Reunion Taping Following the reports of their absence, both Eady and Moore spoke out on social media. 'As everyone is now aware, I'm not attending the reunion,' Eady wrote on Instagram Stories. 'This was my decision. The events of this season have devastated me, and while I cannot say much right now, I do want to set the record straight about one thing: the graphic sexual photo surrounding the events in Episode 5. That photo was not me.' 'Based on what I was told, assumed that it was somehow a photo of me — which is why I reacted in the way that I did,' she continued. 'I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me,' she said. 'I look forward to seeking accountability and moving past this dark part of my life.' Meanwhile Moore took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to respond to her absence. 'I'm disappointed to not be a part of the RHOA 16 reunion taping today,' Moore wrote. 'Please know that 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.' Source: Prince Williams / Getty Long before the 16th season of the series began airing in March, the tea about what happened during filming was spilled when it was revealed that Moore had been fired just a few weeks into filming for sharing explicit photos of new cast member Eady at Moore's hair spa opening. Once the season began airing, and fans finally got to see the explicit photo saga play out on TV, both Eady and Moore went back and forth online and in interviews — heating up the drama between them repeatedly. As of now, there is no official release date for the RHOA season 16 reunion, but it is expected to air sometime in the coming weeks.

Brit Eady Blasts Bravo With $20M Lawsuit Over 'Fake Sex Act' Poster
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Brit Eady has filed a $20 million lawsuit against Bravo, claiming the network aired and promoted a false and damaging image that appeared to show her performing a sexual act. In court documents obtained by TMZ, Eady alleges that promotional posters handed out by Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore during her salon opening in June 2024 falsely depicted Eady engaging in oral sex. Although Eady did not attend the event, she says she was blindsided by the image once it surfaced publicly, a moment that sparked immediate outrage and controversy. Following the incident, Moore was reportedly removed from the cast. RELATED: The Shade Assassin: Kenya Moore's Best 'RHOA' Moments Eady's lawsuit names Bravo, NBCUniversal, and the production companies Truly Original and Endemol Shine North America. She accuses them of defamation, sexual harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and fostering a hostile work environment. According to the suit, Bravo knowingly contributed to what Eady calls a 'gendered attack' and continued to air footage and cast commentary about the situation in an episode that aired in April 2025. The lawsuit also asserts that Bravo forced Eady to return to work despite the emotional toll the incident took on her. She claims she was subjected to offensive, sexualized behavior and remarks, making it difficult to continue working in that environment. Eady is now demanding the episode be removed from all platforms and is seeking at least $20 million in damages. She also publicly addressed the controversy on social media, denying she was the woman in the photo and confirming that she skipped the season's reunion taping.

Brit Eady, ‘RHOA' Star, Sues Bravo For $20M Over False Oral Sex Photo Shown On Show
Brit Eady of Real Housewives of Atlanta has officially filed a $20,000,000 lawsuit against Bravo, NBCUniversal, and the production companies behind the franchise after she was seemingly exploited on the show for an alleged sex act. The incident dates back to the grand opening of Kenya Moore's hair spa in June 2024, where Moore dramatically revealed posters of a woman performing oral sex during her event. The show framed it as Kenya's clapback amid a feud with Eady, despite Eady not even being present at the party. Viewers and fellow castmates were led to believe that it was Eady in the explicit image. According to Eady's suit, producers allowed that narrative to go on, allegedly refusing to show her the photo even after she requested to see it multiple times. She says Bravo and its partners were either fully aware — or negligent — in allowing the photo to be broadcast with the suggestion that it was her. As a result, she claims she was subjected to 'emotional distress, workplace harassment, and reputational harm' that has gone far beyond the the dramatic reality show. Eady's lawsuit accuses the network of defamation, false light, sexual harassment, and creating a hostile work environment. She's demanding that the episode be taken down immediately from all platforms, and is requesting punitive damages in the amount of no less than $20,000,000. If Bravo and its partners fail to respond, her legal team reportedly wants the court to issue a default judgment. On Instagram Stories, Eady announced she would not be attending the RHOA reunion, and expressed her emotional state. 'The events of this season have devastated me… I do want to set the record straight about one thing: the graphic sexual photo surrounding the events in Episode 5. That photo was not me,' she wrote. She went on to clarify that she reacted based on what she was told, not what she saw, and only recently viewed the image for the first time — confirming it wasn't her. 'I did not see the photo at the time,' she continued. 'Rather, I was made aware of the photo being presented at the event, and based on what I was told, assumed that it was somehow a photo of me — which is why I reacted in the way that I did.' 'I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me,' she continued. While Kenya Moore is not named in the lawsuit, her role in the controversy remains relevant. Moore was suspended from filming for the remainder of Season 16 after an internal investigation, and she later issued a public apology via X on Thursday (June 5). 'I'm disappointed to not be a part of the #RHOA 16 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.' Both Moore and Eady reportedly opted out of attending the Season 16 reunion taping, which has yet to air.
