Brit Eady of Real Housewives of Atlanta has officially filed a $20,000,000 lawsuit against Bravo, NBCUniversal, and the production companies behind the franchise after she was seemingly exploited on the show for an alleged sex act.
The incident dates back to the grand opening of Kenya Moore’s hair spa in June 2024, where Moore dramatically revealed posters of a woman performing oral sex during her event. The show framed it as Kenya’s clapback amid a feud with Eady, despite Eady not even being present at the party. Viewers and fellow castmates were led to believe that it was Eady in the explicit image.
According to Eady’s suit, producers allowed that narrative to go on, allegedly refusing to show her the photo even after she requested to see it multiple times. She says Bravo and its partners were either fully aware — or negligent — in allowing the photo to be broadcast with the suggestion that it was her. As a result, she claims she was subjected to “emotional distress, workplace harassment, and reputational harm” that has gone far beyond the the dramatic reality show.
Eady’s lawsuit accuses the network of defamation, false light, sexual harassment, and creating a hostile work environment. She’s demanding that the episode be taken down immediately from all platforms, and is requesting punitive damages in the amount of no less than $20,000,000. If Bravo and its partners fail to respond, her legal team reportedly wants the court to issue a default judgment.
On Instagram Stories, Eady announced she would not be attending the RHOA reunion, and expressed her emotional state. “The events of this season have devastated me… I do want to set the record straight about one thing: the graphic sexual photo surrounding the events in Episode 5. That photo was not me,” she wrote.
She went on to clarify that she reacted based on what she was told, not what she saw, and only recently viewed the image for the first time — confirming it wasn’t her. “I did not see the photo at the time,” she continued. “Rather, I was made aware of the photo being presented at the event, and based on what I was told, assumed that it was somehow a photo of me — which is why I reacted in the way that I did.”
“I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me,” she continued.

While Kenya Moore is not named in the lawsuit, her role in the controversy remains relevant. Moore was suspended from filming for the remainder of Season 16 after an internal investigation, and she later issued a public apology via X on Thursday (June 5).
“I’m disappointed to not be a part of the #RHOA 16 reunion taping today,” she wrote. “Please know I take full accountability for my actions and deeply apologize to all those affected including Brittney, the cast, crew, guests and viewers. I look forward to seeing you all back on Bravo soon.”
Both Moore and Eady reportedly opted out of attending the Season 16 reunion taping, which has yet to air.
