If you’re a fan of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” then you’ll be glad to to see what happened after Sunday night’s season finale. There was an even more epic TV moment, with all the shade throwing that two people could possibly hurl at each other, for your viewing pleasure. We’re referring to none other than “RHOA’s”, Kenya Moore, and actor/media personality, Michael Rapaport (a.k.a. the dude from the “Higher Learning” movie).
Most of us know that Kenya’s middle name could be ‘Shade-Almighty,’ but in case y’all didn’t know, Michael is known among his many movie/podcast fans, for being a very outspoken dude, who will roast the hell outta someone if he’s not really feelin’ them. Combine both of those personalities together in one interview, and you get a spontaneous combustion that also makes for great television. So get your popcorn ready ILOSM fam.’
Whoa! “Peasant” vs. “Ashy Feet”
The drama between Michael Rapaport and Kenya Moore happened on the latest episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.” Those two went at it in a MAJOR way and they both realized that they’d met their match. Kenya won one round and Michael won the other. Apparently, Rapaport started it and seemed to have it on his mind from the get-go, to give Kenya a dose of her own medicine- she’s known for starting drama with her RHOA cast mates and shading them at random. But y’all already know Kenya is always down for a good shade throwing battle, so here’s what happened:
Andy Cohen brought up one of the past Twitter spats Michael (@iamrapaport) and Kenya (@kenyamoore) had, in 2016, after Michael tweeted about Kenya’s then shady ways toward RHOA’s Porsha Williams on the reality show:
iamrapaport: Krazy @KenyaMoore was bullying @Porsha4Real [when] she got the wig snatched, she should have no regrest aboutthat wig snatch.
KenyaMoore: @MichaelRapaport you are pathetic and ignorant 4promoting violence on any level. Please get a job 2 keep ur cable 2 watch me every week.
In their “WWHL” responses, the shade commenced, ending with Kenya calling Michael a “peasant” and a “fat, White man”; and Michael calling Kenya a “bully” who has a “football team” of beauty staff members just to look presentable, with feet that are “ashy as f*ck.” Like we said, it was an epic exchange of shade. Watch both clips below to get the full exchange between these two…

Moore & Rapaport Talk About Other RHOA Stars
Although they went at each other during the “WWHL” interview, that wasn’t the only issues they chopped it up about. Andy asked Kenya which “RHOA” housewife pissed her off the most, regarding the jabs the ladies threw at her mysterious new husband. Rapaport was also asked to give his quick breakdown of the “RHOA” ladies and dramas that transpired during the latest season of the show. Both of ’em kept it 100 with their replies…
Kenya on “RHOA” shading her man and questioning the validity of her marriage:
Rapaport gives opinion on other “RHOA” housewives:
In Other Rapaport News…Meet His Wife
Like his arch-rival, Kenya Moore, Michael Rapaport is known for stirring up controversy. He’s obliterated Donald Trump on many occasions on social media. As an avid hip hop fan, he’s also blasted several of today’s rappers for not representing real hip hop, nor showing respect to rap legends who came before them, like Rakim (of the 80s/90s rap duo, Eric B. & Rakim).
But there’s one person who keeps him centered after a long day of critiquing celebs on his podcast, I Am Rapaport. That person is his wife, Kebe Dunn. Because of the very convincing job Rapaport did as the racist KKK character, “Remy,” in the 90’s film, “Higher Learning,” many fans were surprised to learn that he was actually dating Kebe, an African American woman, at that time. Many assumed that Rapaport and “Remy” were one in the same, but that wasn’t the case and he and Kebe are happily married now.
Speaking of happy marriages, a late congratulations to Kenya Moore and her new husband, Marc Daly.
