Kenya Moore is speaking openly about her relationship with the ‘Real Housewives’ family following her season-long departure from the hit series.

The entrepreneur recently welcomed her first baby and made an appearance on the show during one of the last episodes of its latest season…much to the dismay of her former pal Nene Leakes who believed efforts to push her back into the fold are being done to spite her.

The theory is one Moore believes is ridiculous.

On Wednesday (May 8), Tyra Banks damn near broke the Internet when it was revealed she came out of modeling retirement to be one of three cover girls for the newest issue of ‘Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.’

Showing off her oft-envied figure, the 45-year-old was looking better than ever as she fiercely posed beach side in the Bahamas wearing a yellow bikini – a shoot that immediately drew comparison to her iconic 1997 ‘Sports Illustrated’ snaps (as we reported here).  That feature (some 22 years ago) made history as Banks became the first African American woman to appear on a cover for the mag and now – with the recent appearance – she’s opted to make history again by tapping photographer Laretta Houston to lens the shoot.

“I am obsessed with firsts,” Banks says. “So, I spoke to MJ [Day], the editor of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, and I said, ‘MJ, you guys changed my life. Twenty-two years ago, you put me on that cover and then you put me on again. It gave me such a powerful platform, and now I want to change somebody’s life. I want us to find an African American, female photographer.’ 

Look inside to see the behind the scenes action of Houston and Banks making history:
