UPDATE — 6/5/25 at 6:52 p.m. ET: Brit Eady is speaking out after choosing to skip The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 reunion taping.
“This was my decision,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday. “The events of this season have devastated me, and while I cannot say much right now, 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.”
Brit went on to claim she does not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, “it was not me.”
“I look forward to seeking accountability and moving past this dark part of my life,” she concluded her post.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 reunion will be missing two familiar faces.
Us Weekly has learned both Brit Eady and Kenya Moore will not be attending the reunion taping on Thursday, June 5.
As cameras started to roll, Bravo shared a seating chart via social media. Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Drew Sidora, Kelli Ferrell, Shamea Morton, Angela Oakley and Cynthia Bailey all had a space near host Andy Cohen.
Brit and Kenya, however, were not included in the tease.
“I’m disappointed to not be a part of the #RHOA 16 reunion taping today,” Kenya wrote via X on Thursday. “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.”
When a follower offered their support, saying, “We love you and support you fully,” Kenya responded: “Love you all for this. Thank you.”
Us has reached out to Bravo and Brit’s rep for comment.
Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta initially centered around drama surrounding Kenya and Brit.
In the April 6 episode, Kenya hosted the cast at the grand opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa business. During the event, the Bravo star unveiled explicit pictures of Brit.
After the event, Bravo conducted an investigation and decided Kenya, who has appeared on more than 10 seasons of RHOA since her season 5 debut, could not film with the cast for the rest of the season.
In a YouTube video posted on April 19, Kenya claimed she was invited to the season 16 reunion “and then disinvited a few months ago.”
“From me being someone who has always loved Real Housewives of Atlanta and always wanted to see them win, to being shut out, not given the opportunity to apologize … I think it’s really odd,” she claimed. Later on, the Atlanta resident raised eyebrows when she added, “I don’t anticipate an invitation. Yah, I don’t see that.”
In regards to claims that Kenya was invited and disinvited, a Bravo spokesperson previously confirmed to Us, “This is not accurate.”
Even without Kenya’s presence, there was still plenty of drama on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Drew continued to struggle with her ongoing divorce from Ralph Pittman. As for Porsha and Shamea, their longstanding friendship was tested as cameras continued to roll.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs on Bravo Sundays at 8 p.m. ET. Past episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
