\n\t\t\tThe Real Housewives of Atlanta has said goodbye to many cast members since its Bravo debut in 2008 \u2014 but there\u2019s always a chance they could return. For instance, original RHOA star NeNe Leakes left the show in season 7 before rejoining the cast in 2018. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long process but we\u2019ve finally reached [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier on Tuesday, People<\/em><\/a> reported that the decision to keep the reality star off the series reportedly \u201ccame from\u201d Bravo. Moore was reportedly suspended indefinitely from the reality series earlier this month after allegedly \u201cunveiling explicit pictures\u201d of new RHOA<\/em> cast member Brittany Eady<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The outlet reported that the photos were shown while cameras were rolling at the grand opening of Moore\u2019s Kenya Moore Hair Spa in Georgia on Thursday, June 6. The images allegedly depicted Eady \u201cperforming oral sex on an unnamed male.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moore addressed the incident via X<\/a> on June 9, telling fans she would \u201cnever engage in revenge porn\u201d before denying she had ever distributed private images or footage.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhile Vicki Gunvalson\u2019s demotion may have shocked fans, she isn\u2019t the first Real Housewife to get reduced screen time. Several stars of the popular Bravo franchise have been forced to take the backseat after joining the cast. (Fun Fact: Brandi Glanville is the only Housewife to go from \u201cfriend\u201d to \u201cfull-time\u201d without being part of [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cNor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI have always been vindicated. I can\u2019t talk about STORY even with people planting fake news.\u201d<\/p>\n

An investigation into the release of the photos was launched by Bravo which is said to have resulted in Moore\u2019s exit, according to People<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The news comes after a significant week for Moore, as she and her ex-husband, Marc Daly<\/strong>, settled their divorce on Friday, June 21, five years after announcing their split.<\/p>\n

According to court documents obtained by In Touch<\/em><\/a>, a judge signed off on the exes\u2019 agreement and Moore was awarded primary custody of the pair\u2019s 5-year-old daughter, Brooklyn. However, the pair agreed to share joint legal custody and custody exchanges will occur in a public location.<\/p>\n
