Kenya’s ‘boyfriend’ tells V-103’s Frank & Wanda: it was fake
Kenya Moore appears fake on the show for a reason. Her relationship with Walter isn't real. CREDIT: Bravo
Walter Jackson appears to be new cast member Kenya Moore’s boyfriend on “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
Moore spends much of the time trying to get him to marry her and give her babies. Jackson always seems flummoxed by the requests and kept begging her off. He also seems oddly unfazed when she flirts with other men in front of him.
Now we know why. He isn’t really her boyfriend. It’s all (gasp!) an act!
[Read my recap from last night's episode here.]
Jackson told Frank Ski and Wanda Smith that they did date for three months three years ago. They lost touch but then in April, she texted him and said she was coming to Atlanta. “I was kind of surprised,” he said.
She told him, “I’m going to be doing this show. What do you think of reality TV?”
“I don’t know,” he responded. “That’s kind of a stretch there.”
“What if you play my boyfriend on the show?” she asked him.
Jackson said he asked some friends if he should do it. They told him he should enjoy the 15 minutes of fame.
So he said yes. “It’s just like acting,” Moore told him. (Moore herself? A terrible actress!)
He was surprised when he found out she kept pushing the m-word on the show.
She later claimed in the press that the reason he didn’t marry her was because he’s gay. He denied that to Ski and Smith. “I”m well established here. Gay has never been in the block,” he said. “Why she would say that, I don’t know.”
“You are one of your own eligible bachelors in Atlanta,” Ski said, noting that he runs a towing business and is an upstanding citizen. Ski has been friends with Jackson for years.
Jackson is dating another woman – younger.
He said they portrayed him as is. “I’m laid back,” he said. “They did a great job. I’m not here to bash the show.” He said the producers had no idea they were faking it. “It was our secret,” he said.
Here’s a clip from a recent episode of “RHOA.”

Past time for her and her “FAKE” boyfriend to go! Very disturbed woman!!! (And, if Bravo was cognizant of this and or had some input with deceiving their viewers…they should be held accountable as well!)

Yeah Frank, you guys are friends (like most other well-to-do individuals around town). Walter should had some dignity and just not did the show at all. We all know Kenya is “loose” and has a “few loose screws in the brain” along with desperate for attention.

Ok Guys. I am not a blogger… I came across the site because my best friend told me to check out the update about Walter & Kenya being fake. NOT SURPRISED…they were so OFF it had to be fake. I am not ashamed to admit being a fan of the show, as well as several other “reality” shows, it’s my guilty pleasure. When I was growing up my mother,grandmother, & aunts watched soaps like Y&R, Dallas (RIP J.R.), and Dynasty. It’s all trash…just a different kind, but still entertaining & good for laughs in my opinion. The important thing is to know that…it is purely E N T E R T A I N M E N T…don’t become invested. I must admit…these comments are colorful to say the least…so I thought I would weigh in with my thoughts. Kenya, bless her heart, is good for TV…so I doubt that she goes anywhere for a while, unless she wants to…and something tells me she needs a check…so I think we will have to look at her bad skin, & orange face (LMAO…so funny)for at least a few seasons. But her behavior is disgusting…my opinion. I like Pheadra…but I think she was anything but a “southern belle” in that thong ensemble. However… after seeing the stunt Kenya pulled,I do think Cynthia hit the nail on the head when she said she was trying to make sure her husband only had eyes for her at that point. I honestly don’t know what I would do in that situation…but I can say this…I have snatched up a chick for less when it comes to MY husband. So I am almost scared to think what I personally would have done to Kenya…especially after the “threesome” question. Was that B serious??? I love Ne Ne…she has come off as a bit of a HATER at times…but in some capacity they ALL have. I respect her grind. To me she is the definition of “fake it, till you make it”, and now… SHE HAS ARRIVED… LOL. Cynthia is GORG…and I love her ability to check a “B” and remain classy with it…it’s an art that so many of us are lacking these days…myself included at times. I miss Kim…she is the one I loved to hate because no matter what mess she creates…the heffa ALWAYS lands on her feet. Everything she said she wanted to do…she did. From her song, to her man, to her kids, to her house…and though she is having a few issues now, she will land soundly again. I love Kandi for being Kandi…she is the only one that does not come across fake at times to me. Of course…as someone mentioned earlier…why does she need to fake…she had an empire coming in. The rest of the cast is trying to get on her level. Jury is still out on the new girl, Porsha, but so far…she seems awfully dense. But perhaps that just comes from being ” well kept” and sheltered her whole life.

I can’t believe you people are still talking about Kenya as she portrays herself to be on this show. The article tells you how FAKE this show is, and you still continue to talk about her actions on the show like you know her real personality. It’s FAKE, it’s all FAKE. Yes she is a wannabe for using some dude to get on the show, but come on people y’all are as stupid as she is if you keep talking about things she did on the show. Judge her on real news and articles not this show.

How do you know that Walter is not lying? He waited for Kenya to go on vacation to tell his story. Maybe walter is trying to cover up something!

Well look at it this way. How many of us knew that Kenya Moore even existed before RHOA? At least she gave herself a shot at some celebrity. Walter didn’t really need 15 minutes of fame but Kenya did. Unfortunately she blew it.

Oh we know it’s fake…doesn’t make it any less entertaining, or fun to talk about our favorite, or not so favorite “characters”. So is prowrestling…still a BILLION dollar industry. CALM DOWN…it is the people that get so upset about these blogs & people voicing there opinions about this “entertainment” that seem so invested in these “fake” shows.

Going waaaaay back to Season One, Episode One where the outraged real housewives of the ATL wrote in to the AJC to point out that none of these women are representative of them: yes, we all know it’s fake. Honestly, there’s not a decently brought up wife in Atlanta that would allow a camera crew in the privacy of the family home, let alone let them follow her around the Kroger, soccer practice, bible study, and the hairdressers. We all know that the show’s cast are overacting/pretending they’re upset over a bunch of silly drama to get their 15 minutes of fame. I still worry that the REST of the country may not know they’re all a bunch of poseurs and think the women in the ATL are all a bunch of materialistic, tactless, foul mouthed, overtly rude, self-centered fruitcakes with minds like a box of rocks. “I’m just keeping it real.”
I am thankful that Walter fessed up that it was a faked relationship, I was starting to wonder if he’d lost his mind. I hope she paid him well.

Just cancel the show; reality show are always tasteless, boring. Drama queens are not a draw, either. Instead of 3-4 channels years ago, now we have 500 channels and all the money to produce shows is spread too thin, so you get cheap-to-produce shows like this, and Honey Boo Boo, Duck Dynasty, etc. LOL, just go back to the way it was, give us 5-10 channels of QUALITY PROGRAMMING. With high prices and garbage on the tube, TV will be dead in 10 years, maybe less. LOL, people laughed when they said rock and roll would be dead in 10 years, and it’s already dead. I quess we’ll have to do like our great, great granddaddies did and watch the fireplace for entertainment…or add to the population explosion, whichever is the least boring…

Kenya is a beautiful girl. It’s just sad that she has some serious mental issues. It’s obviously holding her back from getting the husband she so desires!

I think Kenya really degrades black women.In my opinion, she needs to continue with her work outside of tv, because being a bitch on the show,does nothing for her character,although we know she’s acting, but that appears to be real. And it’s not like we really need more of these reality shows where our sisters are so over the top. And, other thing, if she would have had her behind on my husband, I would have had to lay hand on her, so disrespectful,so uncoof! I’m glad Phaedra shut her down.See as though her she call herself trying to make boyfriend jealous, which shows that he wasn’t in the least bit moved by her whole performance..I feel very sorry for Kenya, she’s knocking on 40, and can’t keep a man! Wow,I see why.

The fall back for a lot of insecure black women who are dissed is to attempt to label the man gay. He exposed the foolishness, she looked very desperate and now she’s trying to save some face by calling him gay.
