Brit Eady Skips 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 16 Reunion Taping, Kenya Moore 'Not Invited' (Exclusive Sources)
Kenya Moore and Brit Eady are both missing from the Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 reunion, which films June 5 in Atlanta Moore was suspended mid-season after sharing explicit photos of Eady, in retaliation for Eady's comments about having a "pistol" for Moore. The reunion to will air this summer on Bravo The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 reunion will be missing two of its stars. PEOPLE can exclusively reveal that Brit Eady and Kenya Moore both won't appear on the annual season wrap-up, which films in Atlanta on Thursday, June 5. Each is absent for different reasons. A source tells PEOPLE Eady, 37, skipped the taping on her own accord amid a falling out with her costars, while Moore, 54, was disinvited by Bravo to participate in the reunion. Housewives Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell and Angela Oakley were all in attendance, as was Cynthia Bailey, who returned to the franchise this season as a Friend. Reps for the network did not immediately respond when contacted for an explanation, but did release a reunion seating chart on Thursday that did not include Eady and Moore in the mix. Eady and Moore's teams did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Moore was the longest running RHOA star when season 16 began filming back in April 2024. But her time in the season was cut short when on June 25 of that year, her cast members were told she would no longer be a peach-holder. The former Miss USA winner and actress found herself in hot water when she exposed sexually explicit photos from Eady's past to guests at the June 6-opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa. She was suspended and, after an internal investigation, exited the series. A source told PEOPLE at the time Moore was retaliating against Eady after Eady allegedly threatened Moore with a gun during a heated confrontation caught on camera. "Kenya was concerned for her safety, that is the truth," the insider said. "Never for one second did Kenya feel like she was being taken seriously for her fears. It's unfair." But a second insider close to the show insisted that "at no time was Kenya ever threatened with a weapon, nor was there ever a weapon present during the course of production." Viewers eventually got to see the conflict play out during the airing of season 16, where Eady in fact was shown boasting about having a "pistol" for Moore. Eady has claimed her comments were a mistake made in the heat of the moment, and that she "never had a gun in my possession at all." "I still beat myself up, just the act that I allowed her to trigger me. There's no excuse for what I did, for what I said," she explained during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live. "I felt attacked ... I mentioned a pistol, which I never should have. And I was wrong." Apologies have come from Moore, as well. "Hindsight is always 50/50," she said during a November 2024 appearance on Tamron Hall. "If I could do it all over again, I believe the photos were very distasteful, and I elevated the situation. I've elevated situations before, and I've taken full accountability for the things that I've done." She went on to express how "sorry" she was for what she'd done, adding that, "I didn't have to take it that far." "I felt threatened..." she said. "I've never had a child in a situation like this before. So, that's why it escalated to the point where I was protecting not only myself, but my child." Since then, Moore has received support from many of her fellow RHOA stars, including Williams who told PEOPLE at Bravo Fan Fest 2024 in Miami that "forgiveness should be in everyone's future in their own time." "I think that was very noble of her to apologize," said Williams. "At the end of the day, everybody's human. Some people have thresholds, and then you break it and then they go low — or they go all the way to hell. But either way, once you recognize that you've done something to hurt someone and you acknowledge it? I think, let's start there."

As for a possible return to RHOA, Moore said on Tamron Hall that she and executive producer Andy Cohen have "had some conversations" and that he's been a "great support system" throughout the ordeal. "He has called, he has checked on me, he has given me advice. And I feel like he's a really good friend and I just appreciate the support," she said of Cohen and the network. "That was my family for 12 years. I love them and I feel like they love me, it was just a really unfortunate situation." Cohen, at Bravo Fan Fest, echoed his support for Moore, telling PEOPLE he was "proud" of her for taking accountability but adding that no decisions about her possible return have been made yet. The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays (8 p.m. ET) on Bravo, and streams the next day on Peacock. The reunion is expected to premiere this summer. Read the original article on People

Ariana Biermann Reveals If She's in Touch with Dad Kroy Biermann amid His 'Very Difficult' Divorce from Kim Zolciak (Exclusive)
Ariana Biermann spoke with PEOPLE at the Next Gen NYC premiere party on June 2 about her relationship with dad Kroy Biermann amid his divorce from her mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann Calling the split "very messy," Ariana reveals she and Kroy plan to "talk soon" as they navigate the family's ups and downs Kroy filed for divorce from The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum for a third time in February after trying to reconcile for their six childrenAriana Biermann is opening up about navigating her parents' divorce. The reality star, 23, caught up with PEOPLE at the Next Gen NYC premiere party on Monday, June 2 as she prepares to share her life on the new reality series. After her mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann and dad Kroy Biermann (who legally adopted Ariana and her sister Brielle, 28, in 2013) made headlines for their tumultuous split, she says her dynamic with the former NFL player has been complicated. 'It goes through waves a little bit,' Ariana admits. 'The divorce has been very difficult and very messy, and my mom is my best friend, and it's really hard to watch.' 'A lot of these things go on, but I try to keep it separate, so we go in waves,' she continues, noting that she and Kroy, 39, are 'going to talk soon.' Despite their ups and downs, Ariana reveals that her dad has been 'very supportive' of her involvement in Next Gen NYC and even gave permission for her to talk about their recent challenges on the show. 'He hasn't said anything about it since it came out or anything,' she notes. 'But you have to sign a release for these things in order to talk about things, and he was willing to do that for me and was okay with me sharing my story and the things that have gone on over the last couple of years, and he's been supportive in that.' Kim and Kroy, who also share four additional children — Kroy "KJ" Jagger Jr., 13, Kash Kade, 12, and twins Kaia Rose and Kane Ren, 11 — jointly filed for divorce in May 2023 after 12 years together. Two months later, they decided to reconcile in an attempt to "make it work for the kids,' but Kroy refiled for divorce by August of that same year. He recently filed for divorce for a third time in February. In her original filing, The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum, 47, stated that the marriage was "irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation." For several months of their separation, the couple both resided in their Georgia home, which led to growing tension in the relationship. In April, Kim called 911 to report that Kroy had allegedly violated a December 2023 court order that required each to stay on separate sides of the house. Then, in November, they called the police again, accusing one another of domestic violence. The Don't Be Tardy alums were also facing foreclosure threats during this time, although they officially sold the property in January, according to property records. The 15,700-square-foot mansion was first listed for $6 million in October 2023, but ultimately sold for $2.75 million.

Drew Sidora addresses Porsha Williams drama over Ralph Pittman filming during RHOA season 16
Drew Sidora is speaking out about her ongoing tension with Porsha Williams during The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16, offering new insight into their rocky dynamic. In the show's Episode 13 After Show, Sidora expressed disappointment over Williams' decision to film a dinner scene with her estranged husband, Ralph Pittman, alongside mutual friend Shamea Morton. While Sidora had previously appeared on camera with Williams' ex-fiancé Dennis McKinley in connection to her music career, she said that situation was rooted in business and transparency. In contrast, she questioned the intent behind Williams' meeting with Pittman, suggesting it was driven by personal motives during a vulnerable time in her divorce. 'How would it look for me to go film with Simon [Guobadia]?' Sidora asked co-stars Angela Oakley and Cynthia Bailey, referencing Williams' own divorce. 'You went behind my back and filmed with Ralph for no reason… Obviously, you did it to be hurtful.' Still, the tension between the women began to ease during a cast trip to Grenada. Sidora admitted she could have communicated better, noting she should've called Williams to explain her work with McKinley rather than sending a vague text. Williams, meanwhile, shared her side of the story on the After Show. She acknowledged her frustration over the situation with McKinley and felt the friendship deserved more direct communication. By the time the Grenada dinner took place, she had shifted focus to repairing her relationship with McKinley and no longer wanted conflict with Sidora. Though they didn't fully reconcile, the pair agreed to move forward and avoid further drama. 'I hear you, Drew, and I receive that,' Williams said. 'It's over.'

BRAVO TV STAR DWIGHT EUBANKS PUBLICLY SHARES PROSTATE CANCER DIAGNOSIS
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star joins a growing chorus of cultural influencers rallying behind ZERO Prostate Cancer urging Black men to know their risk and get screened. ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As National Men's Health and Pride Month kicks-off, Bravo TV star and Atlanta hair stylist Dwight Eubanks announced that he has been diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer and is channeling pain into purpose by joining ZERO Prostate Cancer (ZERO), the nation's leading advocacy and support organization for prostate cancer awareness, as a brand ambassador. Eubanks is a prominent hair stylist and entertainment icon who has spent over 30 years in fashion and cosmetology. He rose to fame on the Bravo reality series "The Real Housewives of Atlanta", and also appeared on "Married to Medicine" as creative director of the Lisa Nicole Fashion Line. Joining forces with ZERO, Eubanks will help raise awareness about prostate cancer and call for Black men to know their numbers and get screened. Today, one in six Black men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Moreover, Black men are 70% more likely to be diagnosed and twice as likely to die from it. "A prostate cancer diagnosis is crushing but I'm grateful to still be in this fight and use my platform to help others impacted by this disease," said Eubanks. "It is critical that men — especially Black men who are disproportionately diagnosed with prostate cancer — become their own health advocates and push for information, screenings, and lifesaving care. I am deeply thankful for ZERO's support and partnership and I hope by sharing my story I will help to save more lives." Every two minutes a man in the U.S. is diagnosed with prostate cancer. This year alone, over 300,000 new cases of prostate cancer are expected to be diagnosed and over 35,000 men will die from the disease — fathers, uncles and sons lost too soon. "Though we know exciting medical breakthroughs are on the horizon to treat those with the disease, awareness and being proactive to diagnose prostate cancer early are critical," said ZERO Board of Directors Medical Chair, Dr. Alicia Morgans, a Genitourinary Medical Oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. "The truth is prostate cancer can be curable with a 99% survival rate at 5 years when caught in the earliest stage. That's why Dwight's story and message to other men to get screened and know your family history is so powerful. Screening can be the difference between life and death." "This is more than a media moment — it's a movement," said Courtney Bugler, president and CEO of ZERO Prostate Cancer. "Dwight's voice and story will help to redefine how Black men talk about this devastating disease within their communities —removing the stigma, replacing fear with facts and turning silence into survival." In Eubanks' new role as a ZERO Brand Ambassador, he will help advocate for more access to screenings and quality care–supporting ZERO's current initiatives like Blitz the Barriers, which aims to save 100,000 lives by 2035 in communities hardest hit or most devastated by prostate cancer. About ZERO Prostate Cancer ZERO Prostate Cancer (ZERO) is on a mission to improve and save lives from prostate cancer through advocacy, awareness, education, and support. Formerly known as the National Prostate Cancer Coalition, ZERO was founded in 1996 to stand up for people impacted by prostate cancer. Today, ZERO serves as the nation's leading prostate cancer organization, advancing a future where prostate cancer detection is early, support is unwavering, and care is accessible to all. For nearly 30 years, ZERO has led the way in prostate cancer advocacy, screenings, and partnerships, successfully unlocking funding toward breakthrough discoveries, treatments, and lifesaving access to care. As the nation's #1 provider of prostate cancer resources, programs, and services, ZERO has supported millions of people at-risk or diagnosed, and their families. As the voice of the prostate cancer community, ZERO's urgent focus on breaking barriers to survival—by closing gaps in diagnosis, treatment, and care—brings critical attention to those most likely to be impacted by this disease.

The comeback marks a new chapter for the attorney and reality TV star — one she's embracing with both reflection and renewed energy. Welcoming her back to the group was none other than her longtime friend and former co-star, Porsha Williams.

Phaedra's original exit in 2017 came after a fallout stemming from a major scandal that rocked the cast.

When there is a true friendship, no matter what you go through, it can never be broken, and it's just like riding a bicycle. When we get together, we are rolling.' Porsha echoed that sentiment, revealing that once she moved through her 'healing process,' she didn't even dwell on the drama that once defined their relationship.
