This week on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," Kenya Moore's hopes for a happy family reunion were dashed when her birth mother refused to attend and it appears that she didn't even want to see Kenya at all.
Kenya made good on her promise to organize a family reunion in Detroit and a lot of her family members came, including her father, Ronald, and his wife, Kathy. While the former beauty pageant winner was happy that everyone was there, she was determined to speak to her mother as she got everyone to board a bus to go to her birth mother's house.
Upon reaching the house, Kenya went to the door and knocked, announcing that she was there by herself. No one answered, but someone inside the house turned the deadbolt to lock the door. Kenya kept on knocking and calling out, but despite her persistence, the door remained closed.
While things are still bad between Kenya and her mother, it appears that her relationship with her father has been healed after the two had a serious conversation about what happened in the past.
On her Bravo blog, Kenya admitted that it was difficult to have a heart-to-heart talk with her father because in the past, whenever he got hurt, he would cover it up with anger and storm off and sometimes she wouldn't hear from him "for months, sometimes years."
"He was 15 years old when he learned that he was going to be a father," said Kenya about her dad, adding that Ronald was a baby himself when he learned that he was going to have a baby back in the 70s.
But despite their differences, Kenya said that she always knew that he loved her even if sometimes he didn't show it.
"Even now as a woman in my forties, I still need my father," said Kenya. "He is not perfect, but he is my family and the only father that I have."
Next week, the ladies are in for a surprise as NeNe Leakes returns to the show. Last year, the series star announced that she will not be returning for the Bravo show's eighth season as part of the main cast, but teased that she will still be around in some other capacity. The ladies will be going on another trip, and this time, the Housewives will be heading to Washington.
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
