It’s no secret that Kenya Moore of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta has gotten lots of flack for allegedly paying men to be her boyfriend on the show. Now that she is getting extra close to her new beau, Matt Jordan, rumors swirled that he is just the latest guy she is pretending to date for a storyline on the series. And while she remains silent, he has addressed the speculation himself.

He told Real Mr. Housewife recently, “That’s my lady at the end of the day and it’s hurtful to me when people say malicious things about her.”

He went on to slam Walter, the man who Moore dated when she joined the show back in season five. You might remember he went on several radio interviews and said that she paid him to be on the show.

“The brother that said that is very weak in my opinion, for going on a national campaign to try to slander her image. That guy has faded off into oblivion, and she’s still having to address or talk about a lie. She’s onto me now and I’m sitting here years later, and I have to address a lie that another man made.”

He added that considering who Moore is, it doesn’t make sense for her to have to “pay a man to date her…If you give it 10 seconds of common sense, you would see straight through it.”

He then went on to make sure that he clarified Moore is not paying him.

“If you’re asking me indirectly if I’ve ever received any kind of donation or payment…ABSOLUTELY NOT. The last guy lied. At this point if people are still bringing it up when I just confirmed, they’re just trying to be hurtful and malicious.”
