Her leaving announcement definitely felt official, however now it seems like both Kenya and the network have backtracked on that. She's saying she's still under contract with Bravo, which was definitely not the message when she initially "left". I'm still thinking they must have asked her to come back and maybe that's why all the rumours spread about her filming again (which was false but...)?
Regarding the incident, I love her, but Kenya can be tone deaf at times and clearly thought she could "expose" the new girl and it would be great for the show, but it is 2024 and what may have gone down in the earlier seasons just doesn't fly anymore. If this new girl did have an OnlyFans or whatever, she could have just said that and found a clever way to shade her that way, but pulling out real photos at her own spa launch IS crazy.
