In a post on her Bravo blog, Jordan explained that she was aware of the truth ahead of Nida's confession on Sunday’s episode of RHOA. “Well I had heard the story already that it did NOT happen, so I wasn’t shocked that it came out,” Jordan said.

“I was surprised however that Apollo decided to confess publicly,” Jordan said. “That one lie caused so many people to form a negative opinion of Kenya and made some people feel justified to call Kenya the 'W' word, and that is just not that cool.”

Jordan also pondered if the ladies of RHOA could have created a closer bond had Nida not fabricated the tale about Moore. “Imagine how different these past couple of years may have been for all of these women had this lie not been told. They may have been great friends — and now we will never know because of a lie,” she said.

Speaking to E! News, Moore said she is glad the truth finally came out. But she is still very upset with Parks for believing her husband's fib.

“I’m not a fan of anyone who acts in a malicious manner to defame me, to malign me, to tell lies, to slander me,” Moore said. “Phaedra has gone on national platforms and called me a whore…She has shown her true colors.”
