Bravo has filed a response to former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Brit Eady's $20 million lawsuit alleging sexual harassment. The network argues that Eady was aware of the show's nature when she signed on. The case remains ongoing.
Bravo is contesting a $20 million lawsuit filed by Brit Eady, a former cast member on Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA). Eady claims she suffered sexual harassment and emotional distress from an incident involving Kenya Moore during filming for Season 16. In that scene, Moore shared posters featuring alleged explicit photos purportedly of Eady, which were later confirmed not to be her images. Bravo describes Eady's complaint as > an attempt to rewrite history -- and her own contractual commitments, because she no longer likes the consequences of joining a popular and long-running reality series well known to feature authentic, unscripted dialogue, conflict, drama, and confrontation, along with many other dynamics of a group of women. The network emphasizes that Eady's contract explicitly warned of > provocative conduct or speech from other cast members, stressful or emotionally challenging other cast members, and stressful or emotionally challenging circumstances. Bravo notes Eady joined in Season 16, indicating she was familiar with the show's format. Following the incident, Kenya Moore was suspended and has not been invited back. Bravo also states it invited Eady to return for Season 17, which she declined. The network denies liability for Moore's actions and has asked the judge to dismiss the case entirely. No resolution has been reached yet.
