Kenya Moore on Apollo Nida's Prison Sentence: Don't Kick Him While He's Down
Kenya Moore is revealing her thoughts about Apollo Nida recently being sentenced to eight years in prison.
Moore, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" television personality and former Miss USA, is speaking out about her fellow cast member attorney Phaedra Parks' husband Apollo Nida, who will spend the next eight years in prison.
"You can't kick someone while they are down even if they fell trying to trip you. Offer them a hand instead. #killthemwithkindness," Moore tweeted after Apollo's sentencing made headlines. "I honestly don't have an opinion either way."

Nida made headlines for allegedly creating fake businesses, false bank accounts and using stolen checks while defrauding automotive lenders, according to Access Atlanta reports. Moore previously told talk show host Bethenny Frankel that she believes Nida will "absolutely" go to jail after his charges were announced earlier this year.
After Nida accused Moore of inappropriately propositioning him last year, she said she did not plan on reaching out to him during his tough time.
"I don't have anything to say to him after the lies that he's told on me, so I don't have a reason to have a conversation with him," she said on the Bethenny talk show.
Nida, the 35-year-old husband to attorney Phaedra Parks who appears on "Real Housewives of Atlanta," was sentenced Tuesday, avoiding a 30-year maximum prison sentence. While TMZ reports that Nida cooperated with federal investigators, he could not avoid prison altogether.
However, People magazine spoke to his lawyer, Thomas D. Bever, who insists his client is not feeling good about his crimes.
"On behalf of my client Apollo, right now he feels remorse. He thought the judge was fair, and accepts his sentence, although he was hoping it would be less," Bever said. "Apollo is elated that this proceeding is past him and is no longer hanging over his head."
