Kenya Moore Admits Ulterior Motive With Apollo Nida Conversation
Kenya Moore is admitting that she had an ulterior motive when approaching Apollo Nida on the latest episode of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
Moore, the reality television personality and former Miss USA, was accused of sending inappropriate text messages to Nida, the husband of her fellow cast member Phaedra Parks. Although Moore has denied the claims and publicly apologized to Parks for even engaging in any text messages with her former friend's husband while they were feuding, viewers witnessed her questioning Nida about the matter on the show.
In her Bravo TV blog, Moore, 43, revealed her ulterior motive for seeking out Nida.
"All the women were invited to the lounge, but of course they were all late so Lawrence and I joined them. I did have an ulterior motive in hanging out with them and that was to get the truth out of Apollo," Moore wrote Monday. "You catch a rat with peanut butter not salt. Once they were relaxed, it was my moment."
Moore admitted that she wanted a concrete apology from Nida.
"I wanted an admission of guilt, an apology, and a resolution from Apollo and I succeeded," she wrote. "Apollo's fictional stories about LA and anything else were retaliation for me making him look bad because I revealed his texts to me ('You took a jab, I took a jab regardless of whose head got knocked off.')"
While Moore reveals that fans of the show will witness more to come stemming from her conversation she said, "I wanted closure and to move on. I can't do that without a conversation."
Still, it seems Moore has learned from her mistakes and previously acknowledged that she was wrong to ever engage in text messages with somebody else's husband. She later stopped her actions.
"Considering everything, I was absolutely wrong because I know that me and his wife fell out. We weren't friends," Moore said on The Wendy Williams show last year. "He initiated the texts but I returned the texts and they were friendly, so I apologize for that. I apologize to the world. I was wrong."
