Moore said in a statement to LoveBScott.com on Feb. 18, "It's unfortunate Mr. Curtis Benjamin was not aware of the effort I put into trying to make the event a success for Saving Our Daughters or overlooked the texts regarding the intended honoree. I spent over $10,000 to make the charity event successful, in addition to making a personal donation from the event as well as forwarding any and all donations collected. I hope the focus can shift to the young girls and I wish the organization nothing but the best in the future."
Moore also sent out a tweet that same day and added that she has proof on video as well as contracts.

Moore's comments come after Founder and CEO of the Saving Our Daughters charity, Curtis Benjamin, released a statement and claimed that the charity didn't get any money from Moore's event.
He wrote, "To protect the integrity of Saving Our Daughters, our records show that we did not receive any of the proceeds raised from Ms. Moore's masquerade ball."
However, Moore also provided text messages between herself and Benjamin, as well as pictures of checks that she wrote to the foundation to prove she did contribute.
One text from Benjamin reads, "Hi Kenya - Thank you for your personal donation as well. Here is the address so we can make it on time. Saving Our Daughters 311 Ryan Trail Dallas Ga 30157. :) We will email over your Thank you receipt letter this week from our trustee board for your total donation. Again thank you. :)"
