Brit Eady Says RHOA “No Longer Served Her”

After just one turbulent season, Brit Eady has announced she’s leaving The Real Housewives of Atlanta. The reality TV newcomer took to Instagram on Monday to share the news, citing mental health concerns as the primary reason for her departure.

“I decided to walk away from something that no longer serves me because I choose peace over destroying my mental [health],” Brit wrote in her post.

Eady joined the Bravo franchise for Season 16, a season already marked by high tension and controversy. While she didn’t call out anyone by name in her announcement, her exit follows a highly publicized and explosive feud with longtime cast member Kenya Moore.

That conflict came to a head during a cast event in June 2024, where Moore allegedly displayed explicit images that she claimed showed Eady performing a sex act. Eady has denied being the woman in the photos.

In her Instagram post, Eady framed her departure as an act of self-preservation, writing:

“As I close this chapter, I want to thank everyone who supported me—my friends, my followers, my amazing team, and everyone who defended my name. I decided to walk away from something that no longer serves me because I choose peace over destroying my mental. It’s very easy to say what I should have done, when most have not walked a day in my shoes. I choose ME, and a lot of ppl can’t say they choose themselves. I still have a lot of healing left to do, but you can’t heal in the same place that made you sick. I don’t owe anyone closure, I only owe myself to do what’s best for me. My journey here is done. — BRIT ?”

The dramatic season saw Kenya Moore suspended for her role in the explicit photo incident, a move that sparked strong reactions from viewers and cast members alike. While Bravo has not publicly commented on Brit exit, her single-season tenure will likely be remembered more for controversy than for connection with the audience or the cast.

Amid the fallout, Brit has taken legal action. According to sources close to the matter, she filed a lawsuit against Moore and possibly others involved, alleging defamation, emotional distress, and reputational harm stemming from the incident. While the suit has not been publicly detailed, it signals that Eady is seeking to push back against what she describes as a “smear campaign” rather than simply walking away quietly.

Though Brit’s statement emphasizes healing and choosing peace, critics have questioned whether she’s avoiding accountability or sidestepping public scrutiny. Either way, her time on RHOA ends as abruptly, and dramatically, as it began.
