Kenya Moore has spoken out following her latest clash with The Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star Sanya Richards-Ross.

The reality TV star, 51, took to Twitter after scenes on Season 14 of the Bravo show saw the pair in a heated exchange, which had been teased on the previous episode.

For the past few installments of RHOA Season 14 fans have seen the cast enjoying a trip to Jamaica, organized by new housewife Richards-Ross.

Last week on the show, the stars traveled to the city of Montego Bay but the episode ended on a sour note when Moore and Richards-Ross began arguing over the latter's iFit shoot.

The trouble began when Richards-Ross invited the ladies to join her on her video shoot that she was doing in Jamaica but on the day, when the 9:30 a.m. call time came, only RHOA star Marlo Hampton was there and ready to go.

The van left to take Richards-Ross and Hampton to the shoot and 20 minutes later Moore called the hotel's reception, only to be informed that Richards-Ross had gone without her. Moore took offense to this and felt like she has been disinvited from the video shoot.

When the group met for dinner that night, Shereé Whitfield stated that she was in the hotel lobby at 9:30 that morning but was also left behind. Moore stepped in and told Richards-Ross that she should have checked on her and Whitfield.

The episode then ended on a cliffhanger as Moore insulted Richards-Ross' hosting skills, causing her husband, Aaron Ross, to stand up and defend his wife.

When RHOA returned to screens on August 21, fan saw Moore and Richards-Ross come to blows as the awkward dinner continued.

Richards-Ross, 37, told Moore: "I feel like there's stuff you want to say, and you're just not saying it. Whenever I'm talking, you disengage. It feels like you, Kenya, have been ungrateful because I have gone above and beyond, and I have been an amazing host."

"The ego tonight, baby, it's on fire. You want to talk about how I felt about you not having us at your thing? My feelings were it was very disrespectful [...] I'm going to speak and you're going to listen," Moore responded, before telling Richards-Ross: "Your attitude is in the toilet right now."

Richards-Ross said: "I do feel like we started off [...] I really did like you and I really wanted to get to know you, but every time I try to get an answer out of you, you wiggle out of it. You never address it."

"I don't even know what you're talking about because I don't work in the realm, the world of abstract thoughts," said Moore, before Richards-Ross responded: "The problem I have with you, Kenya, is that I feel like you can be very dismissive, and I don't appreciate it."

"You're so inarticulate in explaining yourself," Moore answered back.

As the scenes played out on Bravo, Moore took to Twitter to react to the heated argument.

Responding to a fan's tweet about Richards-Ross' "fighting words," Moore insisted: "She's coming for me and I didn't send for her ass #rhoa."

She also joking blamed her co-star Whitfield for the argument, saying about Richards-Ross: "She really thought I was scared...I blame.@IamSheree."

Moore also responded to a fan who called Richards-Ross' husband a "punk" for not apologizing to Moore and getting involved in the argument.

Moore said: "He's not a punk he's actually a very sweet person. It was an awkward moment that we got past."

At the time of writing Richards-Ross has not responded to Moore's posts, or acknowledged the scenes.

RHOA airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo. Previous seasons are available to stream on Hulu, Peacock and to buy on Amazon Prime.
