cooksdelight November 30, 2015 Share November 30, 2015 I think Kenya has a great location, and the fact the house is still under construction is much ado about nothing.

Petunia13 November 30, 2015 Share November 30, 2015 It's just personal preference. All I think of is deer, hawks, TICKS, isolation, raccoons or squirrels, it being dark, constant debris, risk of limbs and trees falling on the house or cars, sap dripping on cars or large amounts of shit from birds, that bizarre driveway, the risk of flooding that Sheree mentioned I hate flooding and standing water, & not being to walk her dog at night, her leaving it outside to tinkle and getting murdered the way Velvet was. 1 Link to comment

Iguessnot January 15, 2016 Share January 15, 2016 (edited) It was an interesting read, but I'm quite confused. What was that first part? At first I thought it was a recollection until it started sounding like an LSD trip. Then we are introduced to the sweet faced grandmother who she actually hates and then a doctor is talking to her. Second part gives more insight, but Kenya tells us point blank that she needs to create a movie of her history from tidbits. I get confused determining what she knows firsthand, what she has been told and what she has imagined. In the end, Kenya's story is straightforward. She's pissed because this damaged woman who is her mother won't mother her. But given the story that Kenya has told, I'm surprised she doesn't exhibit the more intense curiosity about what happened to her mother. In one excerpt she does wonder if her mother suffered trauma, but there's a clinical detachment. On the show, when her father said how hurt he was when Kenya ran away from home, Kenya's face showed that detachment. Granted her father sounded somewhat silly making that claim, but we don't know what kind of kid she was. She had the balls to head back to Detroit on her own. In her first chapter she says she hated her grandmother for not being her mother and who knows how long she held on to that grudge. She also mentioned being pissed not living at the financial standards of the Moore's. Her tidbits about her grandfather send out so many red flags but again she seems detached. I'd like to read more even though her writing style will be a problem for me. Edited January 15, 2016 by Iguessnot 2 Link to comment

When my daughter found out that yes, her mother really did love her and really did relinquish her rights so she could have a better life, it was like the weight off the world lifted off her shoulders. Despite the fact that I've told her that for years, she needed to HEAR IT FROM HER. I can't stress enough the trauma of feeling like your mother has rejected you. As if in ALL of nature you are the exception. Then add to that the fact that the grandparents raised her "born out of wedlock" cousin but " gave" her away....no wonder Kenya has issues. 8 Link to comment

Although, at the same time, since I think 85% of her is an act it may not bother her. Knowing that people really have turned a corner by seeing her real life may make a difference. But, in her position, I think it would be hard to read some of the comments from people who seem to somehow blame her or turn the situation into her fault. That has to be rough.

No shade to the it's not Patricia's fault camp, a good deal of it seemed to use who she was at 15 as understanding/absolution. Something tells me Kenya would not only be able to see that, but she might even agree with it. I'm not a fan but even I can acknowledge that though she may not be owed a conversation, she deserves one. 5 Link to comment

However, that may be the benefit of being a character most of the time. You know, if someone criticized Larry Hagman for being a jerk, he probably took it in stride because they really hated JR Ewing. I think Kenya has said a few things that makes me think that she gets the 15 and pregnant thing, so you're probably right.

Now, no doubt the beginning was straight cray, and she could REALLY benefit from an editor ... but somehow 2 pages turned into 20 and before I knew it I'd read all 42 that quick. Once you get past the beginning, it does take on some shape and you find yourself sucked in reading about the Moores. While it starts off like Kenya was trying for some 6,000 word NaNoWriMo attempt (and I peeped the original date being 11/11/2011 FWIW), with some more work and again, a good editor ... I'd read it.

The longing never seems to go away and somehow these adopted children are left to make sense of it all. My children had contact with their birth families as well. IMO, private, closed adoptions are better because the children have some rest from their pain. YMMV.

qtpye February 3, 2016 Share February 3, 2016 You know...I have been thinking about it (which is probably sad), but I think what hurt Kenya the most was the fake showmance with Walter. It was not just that Kenya broke the fourth wall for the show, but that Walter was the one not claiming her. Think about it Kenya is a former Miss. U.S.A. and was often cast as the hot girl in a lot of nineties sitcoms and movies. Walter was a totally average guy who had nothing special in the looks, fame, money, or personality departments. He is the one who should have been jumping up for joy that a former beauty queen was even looking his way. Instead, we get this bizarre scenario where he refused to claim her. It introduced Kenya as crazy and desperate. Everyone was also wondering, how bad is this girl that Mr. Joe Schmoe does not even want her. Then in later seasons, Kenya refused to put any of her real life on screen. She claimed to be dating an African prince that no one had ever seen or heard of. She might as well been that sad girl in the class who prints out a picture from the internet and tells everyone that is their boyfriend (yes, some girl in my school did this). She might get the big bucks being a quasi villain on this show, but it really has come at the cost of her dignity. 7 Link to comment

qtpye February 8, 2016 Share February 8, 2016 qtpye, I get what you are saying in your post. On a separate note, not discounting your post at all, I think Walter is a dream boat! I think he is handsome, nice, suave, makes me need vapors when I see him in a suit, smart, intelligent, humorous, not going to put up with anyone's ridiculousness. And I heard he is wealthy, from hard work. I wish I was in the market because I would completely go down to Atlanta and throw myself at him. I am not saying he is all that bad. Kenya obviously likes the light skin brothas and Walter had his own business. I also give him credit for not going along with her bull shit. What was stupid was her not dropping it once he outed her scam. She should have said, "Busted, I called up some random from my past, it ain't all that serious". Instead, she said that Walter was lying and was not claiming her. It's like "Hello, weren't you Miss U.S.A?". Either you are lying to the audience twice, first about pretending to be in a relationship with this guy and second, not coming clean when outed, which ruins your credibility with the audience. or You have build up a fake relationship with a pretty average type of guy in your head and he is not claiming your psycho ass. Neither, were a good look for her. 4 Link to comment

Wait is that an earthquake felt around the world or did Kenya see it also? Both? But mostly thinking it will elevate her ego that Beyonce is using - admittedly - Kenya's line. Back when she first used it, Beyonce and Kelly were filmed doing the twirl and gone with the wind fabulous bit, which got Kenya excited that she knew it. (And shit, I'm no Bey fan but I'd be excited if someone on her fame level was reciting some shit I had done!) But now a single and clothing? I don't know if Kenya can claim copyright infringement on that line, but if she can't, I'll bet she will protect her quips from now on in case something hits. 1 Link to comment

cooksdelight February 15, 2016 Share February 15, 2016 Some days I like Kenya, some days I can't stand her...but at the end of the day I do feel sorry for her in some small way. I have known people like her, who had a shitty relationship (or none at all) with one parent and it really does fuck up their way of thinking. When she first came on the show, my guess is production told her to have a man in her life. Walter signed on the dotted line, got paid to play a part. I don't know if Kenya was given the direction to go after Walter for a ring, or what happened behind the scenes, but I just keep reminding myself this is a show that's as fake as the day is long. I know she's been engaged multiple times and each time she called off the wedding. Yet we see her longing for a husband and children. Sometimes people who have a crappy upbringing and didn't get therapy to address any of it will sabotage the very thing they want the most out of life. Getting a national beauty title didn't bring her mother back into her life. I think Kenya wanted that crown as a way to make Momma love her again. 3 Link to comment

I have heard and seen this posted everywhere since Kenya joined the show and yet I can't ever recall seeing a name or picture of an ex-boyfriend let alone an ex-fiance. So who were these so-called men she left at the altar? Kenya pregnant?
