Kenya Moore is no stranger to scrutiny, given the drama-drenched antics she’s oft at the center of on the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’
However, most recently she found herself under fire for her attire.
In the latest episode of the Bravo show, the former Miss USA sported a Native American headdress for Halloween – which ignited an outcry on social media about its racial and cultural insensitivity.
Moments ago, Moore addressed the critique. Her words below…
A statement from the 50-year-old read:
“I want to sincerely apologize for inappropriately wearing the Native American headdress as a costume. I now realize that this was both disrespectful and insensitive and would never have done it if I had that knowledge and understanding beforehand. I regret it. When you know better, you do better. I am genuinely sorry.”

It’s kind of bewildering that after ALL these years about cultural appropriation. She’s JUST now hearing how offense this could be? Soo whether you’re white or black if you have money you’ll always be out of touch with society/reality? #WeBeenTalkedAboutThis
Now watch her not get cancelled… If she was a white woman, though, there’d be uproar. White privilege, my aššhölê
I agree
Agreed.

Right! There were American Aborigines here long before the arrival of the Mongols.
She walked right into this 🙄
She’s 50-something years old! No excuse! She was making a statement that failed, and that’s what she’s really sorry about.
She claimed heritage 😬 What i said lol
Yal need to stop when the Kardashians and jenners culturally appropriate 247365 give me a dam break..she bought it from a store..meaning why blame her.. lame the manufacturer of the costume for selling it to people who dont know better..
She should have just said she was part Cherokee like every White person in America claims their Great Great Grandma was…… I mean she has long hair.
