During the Halloween-themed episode, some of the ladies admitted in their confessionals that they weren’t really feeling Kenya’s costume. Though Bravo labeled it as a “Native American” getup in the lower third, Moore described her costume as a “warrior princess.” Kenya Moore was accused of cultural appropriation by some of the ladies and fans online.
“Kenya’s Native American costume is super problematic but I ain’t trying to ruffle no feathers for this girls trip,” said Drew Sidora. “It seems like I’m the only one who sees the issues with Kenya Moore’s decisions.” Porsha Williams, added, “She is a Native American warrior. I thought we weren’t doing that no more. I knew that this girl was crazy, but add lame to the list, add wack to the list.” LaToya Ali said she “couldn’t believe” the outfit, before Kandi Burruss defended her costar: “I didn’t think anything of it. I don’t think she was wearing the costume to mock anyone. I think she thought it was a beautiful costume, a sign of a leader, someone to look up to not to be made fun of. I don’ think she was doing it as a joke to be mean.” Bravo has issued an apology to those who were offended by the episode:
Kenya has defended her costume saying on Twitter that it is “Also part of my heritage #RHOA.”
