As more people learn of the barbaric ways Africans are being treated in Libya and the Middle East the supermodel and humanitarian Naomi Campbell has stepped up to support the fight for equality.

For decades Sub Saharan Africans have risked their lives with hopes of a better future by leaving their home nations and heading North towards Europe via Libya.

Alas, those who are “lucky” enough to have survived the horrific journey often find themselves coming face to face with racism dished out via other people of colour.

Today, millions around the world lift their voices to condemn governments who do and say nothing about this injustice via protests taking place in several major cities.

Joining them in their quest to combat the demon that is anti-blackness?

Ms. Campbell.

What Marlo had to say in response?

A great deal about Wendy, her marriage…and Moore’s skin.

Kenya Moore is renown for her T.K.O lines and she brought several to a sit-down chat with Wendy Williams today.

‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ star was on-hand to promote the show’s 10th season and waxed all sorts of honest about the shenanigans already going down.

Indeed, she didn’t hold back when quizzed about foe Kim Zolciak and suggested the latter’s issue with her may stem from jealousy about not “having her original face.” Meow!

Moore also opened up about her marriage to restauranteur Marc Daly, as well as their journey to having children.

Kenya always gives good talk and she certainly didn’t disappoint this time round.
