Ramona Singer's absence from BravoCon does not bother Kenya Moore. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 52, revealed that she wasn't surprised by Ramona's absence, citing her past comments and attitude that seemed judgmental and based on racial and national differences.
Kenya expressed her satisfaction with Ramona's absence, stating that she didn't view her as a good person. Ramona, aged 66, faced backlash following a Vanity Fair exposé where she was accused of uttering a racial slur in front of a Black crew member during the filming of The Real Housewives of New York City season 13. It was alleged that she repeated the slur in a text message to a Page Six staffer when questioned about her reaction to the article. As a result, Ramona was removed from the BravoCon lineup.
Ramona is extremely disturbed by these events and has been in a state of distress. Currently, she will keep a low profile," a source close to Ramona informed Us before the official commencement of the three-day convention.
Furthermore, the insider disclosed that Ramona and Bravo executives reached a "mutual understanding" regarding her absence from the event.

A second source close to the network, however, told Us that it was not Ramona’s “choice” to miss BravoCon.
Andy Cohen, an executive producer of the Housewives franchise, stated exclusively to Us on Friday that he believes it was the correct decision. He also mentioned that he briefly exchanged text messages with Ramona in the aftermath of the scandal. Ramona's daughter, Avery, made an appearance at the first day of BravoCon in Las Vegas. Avery's Bach Boss had a booth at the Bravo Bazaar, and according to an eyewitness, she appeared to be in good spirits on Friday.
Kenya is enjoying the positive energy at BravoCon and is delighted to be free from any drama. "I don't believe I'm caught up in any conflicts. Am I? I don't think so. What are people saying?" Kenya joked to Us, emphasizing her focus on her 5-year-old daughter Brooklyn and the upcoming opening of her physical spa.
Kenya believes that RHOA could benefit from a cast "shakeup" following season 15. Rather than a complete reboot, she suggests bringing back some previous cast members to recreate the magic of genuine relationships and real-life stories. It's important to find individuals who are not solely driven by the desire for attention and headlines, but are genuinely willing to showcase their authentic lives.
