Kenya Moore in Financial Hot Water as Hair Studio Rent Lawsuit Mounts
Things are getting uncomfortably real for Kenya Moore.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum is reportedly dealing with a major financial crisis after a series of setbacks that all hit at the same time. Over the past few years, Kenya has been locked in a bitter divorce from her ex-husband Marc Daly, lost her main source of income on Bravo, and continued to rack up major business expenses.
Now, it is all catching up to her.
Media Take Out has learned that Kenya is being sued for allegedly owing hundreds of thousands of dollars in back rent for her upscale Atlanta hair studio. The salon, which she proudly showcased on social media and in interviews, was a passion project that she reportedly poured millions into renovating and customizing.
But here is the problem.
If Kenya does not come up with the money soon, she risks being evicted. And if that happens, she could lose all of the expensive improvements she made to the space. In commercial real estate, tenants usually do not get compensated for renovations once they are forced out. That means the money she spent upgrading the studio could be gone forever.
Sources say the financial pressure has been intense.
Kenya’s departure from RHOA did not just cost her screen time. It cost her a steady paycheck, appearance fees, and the platform that helped promote her hair care and beauty ventures. At the same time, the legal battle with Marc Daly dragged on, draining both time and resources.
And while the bills kept coming, the income slowed down.
So now, Kenya is getting creative.
Media Take Out has confirmed that Kenya is hosting a major sale event later this week in an effort to bring in fast cash. According to insiders, she is selling discounted weaves, along with pieces from her personal wardrobe including some of her most iconic and memorable outfits from past public appearances.
Yes, the same Kenya Moore looks fans have talked about for years.
But that is not all.
Kenya is also charging fans for tickets to attend a meet and greet at the event. Attendees will get the chance to meet her in person, take photos, and shop the sale. It is a smart move for a reality star with a loyal fanbase, even if it signals just how urgent the situation has become.
Some fans online are sympathetic. Others are surprised. A few are openly worried.
But at the end of the day, this is the reality of life after reality TV.
Kenya built a lifestyle that depended heavily on Bravo checks and visibility. Once that disappeared, the margin for error shrank fast. Add in a high-dollar commercial lease, legal fees from a divorce, and business overhead, and the numbers can spiral quickly.
Still, those close to Kenya say she is determined not to lose her salon without a fight.
“She is hustling,” one source told Media Take Out. “She is doing what she has to do to keep things afloat.”
And honestly, that might be the most relatable part of this story.
Kenya Moore has always presented herself as strong, polished, and unbothered. But behind the scenes, she is dealing with the same pressures many entrepreneurs face when cash flow dries up and landlords stop waiting.
For now, all eyes are on whether Kenya can raise enough money to catch up on the rent and save her hair studio.
One thing is clear.
The glam might be fading, but the grind is very real.
