Kenya and Matt Jordan
Viewers of “The Real House- wives of Atlanta,” know Kenya Moore is fond of instigating and stirring drama — and she has mastered the art of playing the victim.
Ever since she joined the cast of the hit Bravo reality series, she’s been accused by many a castmate, blogger and fan of the series of faking parts of her sto- ryline in order to maintain her position on the show. Producer Andy Cohen relies on catty women to help keep his pockets fat, and Kenya takes full ad- vantage of this.
Now, her ex-lover Matt Jor- dan says Moore staged his in- famous tirade around her home, dubbed Moore Manor.
During one of their more volatile moments, Jordan was filmed on camera for “RHOA” trashing Moore Manor. Kenya called the cops after he damaged property, including her Range Rover. However, in a recent interview, Jordan claimed that the scene was fake and that Moore asked him to damage her home as a way to keep her storyline dramatic.
