<p>Fans of the hit series &#8220;<em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/kenya-moore-speaks-on-porsha-williams-alleged-behavior-during-cynthia-baileys-bachlorette-party-scandal/">Real Housewives of Atlanta</a></em>&#8221; were pretty upset with Kenya Moore after the show&#8217;s latest episode aired the other night. In the episode, the ladies were dressed up in their Halloween costumes as they celebrated the holiday on the episode.</p>
<p>However, Kenya rubbed many people the wrong way when she rocked a Native American headdress for her costume. On Tuesday, she issued a formal apology where she <em><a href="https://twitter.com/KenyaMoore/status/1374422287068241930?s=20">said</a></em>, &#8220;I want to sincerely apologize for inappropriately wearing the Native American headdress as a costume. I now realize that this was both disrespectful and insensitive and would never have done it if I had that knowledge and understanding beforehand. I regret it. When you know better, you do better. I am genuinely sorry.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bravo also spoke out in the comment section under the Instagram post of IllumiNative, which is a &#8220;nonprofit initiative designed to increase the visibility of Natives in American society.&#8221; They made a post about Kenya and her costume choice, and Bravo commented, &#8220;Bravo aims to have the highest standards of respect and inclusivity and we recognize that the recent episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, in which a cast member wears a Native American costume did not uphold those values.&#8221;</p>

<p><em><a href="https://people.com/tv/kenya-moore-apologizes-for-native-american-themed-costume/">People</a></em> reports, prior to issuing an apology, Kenya commented after critics called her out and said in a since-deleted tweet that the costume was &#8220;also part of my heritage.&#8221;</p>
<p>She not only faced criticism from fans of the show, but also from her fellow castmates. The site noted that Porsha Williams commented on Kenya&#8217;s costume and said, &#8220;Kenya is a Native American warrior. I thought we weren&#8217;t doing that no more. Like, I knew that this girl was crazy, but add lame to the list, add whack to the list.&#8221;</p>
