Well, it could very well be that you already know Brit Eady from the Season 16 of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta (RHOA) show, correct? But then, what is this Brit Eady Lawsuit is all about? The thing is, there was an episode aired from the show that, in her words, “turned her life upside down” and caused a lot of problems in her personal life. Yes, this matter is so serious that it has now ended up in court. So much so that she is now suing Bravo, NBCUniversal, and two other production companies for a mind-boggling $20 million. And just to brief you on the main matter, well, this lawsuit is all about some explicit images of her that the show was trying to frame as it was Brit Eady’s, but she denies that completely.
What Exactly Happened in That Episode?
The whole thing was triggered by “episode 5 of season 16,” which was broadcast on April 6, 2025. While inaugurating a hair spa, Moore revealed poster boards with indecent pictures and insinuated that they were Brit Eady’s ones.
Brit says that those pictures were not hers at all. She also requested the photos to be shown before the release of the episode, but the network straight up declined. She only got a complete set of them almost a year after the incident.
The scandal resulted in Kenya Moore losing her privilege to participate in the show and subsequently leaving RHOA. Although she did make a statement of apology, including one to Brit, the harm was already inflicted, and nothing else could be done.
What Is Brit Eady Suing For?
In her lawsuit, Brit has accused over a dozen different offenses, including defamation, sexual harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and a hostile work environment. She has also filed a claim against Bravo using the legal term respondeat superior, which basically says that the company is liable for the actions of Kenya as she is their employee.
Brit says the network and producers knew (or should have known) the pictures were not of her, but they went on to broadcast the episode anyway. This is the reason she is seeking $20 million in damages, in addition to legal fees and interest.
How Did This Impact Brit and the Show?
This incident really flipped Brit’s journey on RHOA upside down. And? Well, as a result, she referred to the season as “horrible” and became the first new cast member not to attend her first reunion, which she also decided not to go to. On top of that, her rapport with the cast fell apart, and the strain was apparent in the episodes all season long.
Kenya Moore was not allowed to attend the reunion, and after that, she declared that she would not come back to the show.
What Does Brit Want Moving Forward?
While money is not her only concern, Brit is asking for it as well. A removal of Episode 5 of Bravo and NBC from everywhere would be her first requirement. Additionally, she is seeking a public declaration recognizing that the depiction of her character was false.
The idea behind the $20 million is to represent the damages that were caused to Brit’s name, her professional life, and the upsetting situation.
What is the Reaction Which Was Received?
Bravo and NBC have remained silent. They have replied to the questions by the media asking them about their comments with the words: “no comment.” Kenya Moore fired out a statement expressing regret in June 2025 following the publicity of the case. She said that she was sorry for the sufferings caused, but denied deliberately doing something wrong.
This very Brit Eady Lawsuit is still underway, and there is no agreement or court appearance date, at least until now.
