Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore has been left reeling after her ex-husband Marc Daly allegedly attempted to move back into her beloved Moore Manor—years after bitterly fighting her in court for alimony and even trying to seize the property during their messy divorce.
In a shocking revelation that has fans buzzing, the 53-year-old Bravo icon disclosed that Marc, 54, recently turned up in Atlanta with plans to relocate permanently after shutting down his struggling New York restaurant, SoCo, amid mounting financial woes. Sources tell DailyMail.com that Daly, who once flaunted his Manhattan lifestyle, has been quietly downsizing for months and is now “desperate for a soft landing.”
Kenya, however, isn’t having it. Speaking to friends on set, she reportedly called Marc’s sudden move “beyond outrageous,” pointing out the cruel irony that he’s now seeking comfort inside the very mansion he once fought to take away from her. “This man dragged me through the courts for alimony, tried to claim my house, and now he wants a room in it? Absolutely not,” Moore said, according to an insider. “Marc has lost his mind if he thinks he can just waltz back in here after everything he’s done.”
The reality star emphasized that while she fully supports Brooklyn, their five-year-old daughter, having an active relationship with her father, she refuses to blur boundaries. “Brooklyn deserves her dad, but that doesn’t mean he gets to invade my independence,” Kenya reportedly told close confidants. “I fought tooth and nail for my freedom and this home. He will have to figure out his own living arrangements.”
Marc, once hailed as a suave entrepreneur, has seen his once-thriving restaurant empire crumble in recent years. Insiders say his finances have been “bleeding for months,” forcing the closure of his beloved Brooklyn eatery and leaving him scrambling for stability. “Marc’s restaurant shutdown was the final straw,” a source close to the couple revealed. “He’s been using the excuse of wanting to be near Brooklyn, but everyone knows he’s looking for a financial lifeline.”
Friends of Kenya tell DailyMail.com that the Moore Haircare founder is determined not to let her ex “capitalize on her success” or disrupt the peace she’s worked so hard to achieve. “Kenya’s worked for everything she has—Moore Manor is her sanctuary,” said the insider. “The idea of Marc moving in is laughable. She’s not about to let a man who once tried to take her down now live off her generosity.”
Fans have already flooded social media with fierce reactions, many calling Marc’s attempt “the ultimate karma.” One Bravo watcher tweeted, “The audacity! He sued her for the house and now he wants to move in? Kenya better lock the gates!”
As of now, Marc has not publicly responded to Kenya’s claims, but insiders hint that the former couple’s already tense co-parenting relationship may be heading for another explosive showdown. And while Kenya remains focused on her daughter and her booming haircare empire, friends say she has made one thing crystal clear: Marc Daly will not be unpacking his bags at Moore Manor anytime soon.
