'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 6 Spoiler: Kenya Moore Confirmed With Pay Raise, How Much?
Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 5 breakout star Kenya Moore will appear on season 6 and she successfully negotiated a raise for her return, according to Us Weekly.
Moore will earn a hefty $600,000 for her appearance on season 6 of Housewives of Atlanta, which reportedly scored the highest ratings of the Housewives franchise. Her deal also includes a clause that allows her to earn additional bonuses based on ratings.
"Kenya is very happy to be back!" a source told the celebrity weekly.
Moore became the breakout star of season 5 because she was responsible for a lot of the show's drama. Walter Jackson - a man she claimed she was dating that appeared on the show with her--revealed she faked a relationship with him for a story line.
She also openly flirted with cast member Phaedra Parks' husband during a group vacation, and then openly mocked Parks at one of NeNe Leakes' parties. Moore earned a reputation on the show for her conceit: on one occasion she shocked her co-stars when she told them she is often mistaken for Beyonce.
A show insider told Radar Online that all of the castmembers' contracts were renewed because they brought their "best game" during season 5. The website noted that Leakes earned a raise as well and will receive a whopping $1 million plus bonuses, which the rest of the cast was not happy about, according to sources.
"NeNe is definitely going to be back because, of course, she's the star and even though she has other jobs, RHOA wouldn't be the same without her!" an insider said.
A source revealed the cast members' earnings to Us Weekly in an earlier report.
"NeNe, Kim and Kandi make $800,000 a season but they can make more for doing certain special things, like Kim taking off her wig," the insider said, before Leakes finalized her season 6 contract. "Phaedra and Porsha make $50,000 per season."
