The fact that Kenya Moore thought her resume compared to Kim Fields in any type of way is STILL beyond me

[@wnfrdwnstn]

Kenya is delusional.

[@nini86508]

I came for this comment lol... I can't unsee her movin her chair lol

[@patsajak7809]

The audacity

[@MaryKayPinkLady24]

I will NEVER understand why Kim joined RHOA-that was just not her wheelhouse-she has entirely too much class for that!

[@chaliceofchange]

Lmao Kenya is straight to DVD

[@idivas2991]

Kim is 55 but looks 45 or younger-just beautiful inside and out. She's accomplished, thoughtful, classy, and articulate. This is what a black female role model embodies.

[@ChrisAlgiersCool]

You pretty too from that pic

[@oncode7735]

No she looks her age but she’s still beautiful and youthful

[@georgebeard7445]

I agree! She fine

[@keew7854]

She looks 55. The wig and boobs just throw you off

[@patsajak7809]

[@rasta487]

Indeed. True legend & treasure.

[@cassie8614]

I so badly wanted Upshaws to be more episodes. Me and my kids watch this together.

[@kionnapink6666]

Me too we be so upset lol...but I think it's a good idea because it keeps us watching like when a new season starts its full production in my house ...junk food and pizza 😂

[@flightsnbite]

Same! I was like wth… I need more

[@dreynolds4883]

I was iffy about it because I saw Wanda Sykes & she usually makes everything a LGBTQ ad but I'm gonna check it out with the kids now.

[@Brit943]

Living single is my favorite show of all time.. the way she played Regine was unforgettable… also I will never forgive the housewives franchise for the way they did her… Kim is a living legend

[@sharonwls5173]

Mine too!! I still watch ❤

[@Yokboygang]

Yeah I bet Kenya so mad at HERSELF 😂😂

[@BeautyMarkCoaching]

Right!!! I agree

[@kyki8512]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Living Single will always be one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, and Kim killed it playing the character Regine! 👍❤️

[@patsajak7809]

I did not like how they treated her on that reality show. They made it seem like her career was sub par and she is beyond that.

[@AnimeBoysOnly]

First off, Kim is so incredibly beautiful. Second, I really do miss all the black sitcoms we used to have. Everybody hates chris, one on one, fresh prince, family matters, moesha, the parkers, etc. Back then black sitcoms were so original, creative, and funny.

[@bosse1092]

Indeed and movies ! The 80s and 90s were a good creative space for us…. Idk what it all went away all at once it seems .. I miss those times

[@mato_fato_ma-ah-fala-falafel]

More attractive than Beyoncé. And not Jay Z’s puppet.

[@seanreyes6866]

​@@bosse1092What happened to those movies and shows you may have asked, life happened. Technology has now become engagingly advanced and many of our attention spans fall short because we are distracted by a plethora of things happening all at once. In addition to that, ebonics change after a certain time. Moreover, certain subject matters cannot be produced due to concerns from people from all walks of life. They want to take things too easily now in the business. One big mistake or scandal, the media will constantly be on your ass until they decide to cancel you.

[@departfromevil2000]

Facts! Late 70s, 80s , 90s and the early 2000s was great black sitcoms

[@aprilbrown9994]

I still watch Living Single to this day, it’s a certified classic and I don’t get sick of it at all. I prefer watching that versus the junk they have on t.v. Kim girl you look great and you are a living legend in your craft. Congratulations Queen ❤❤

"We're gonna die from coldnessness!" That was one of my favorite lines from her from "Good Times." Kim has been in the game for a LONG time. Legend no doubt.

[@delissacharity1838]

Man I wanted them to touch on how amazing she was during her mental breakdown on the upshaws she represented the vast majority of black women on a day to day with all of our task and nobody really checks on us so much so that she had a heart attack and her family kept on moving as if she was just fine. I wanted to know where did she pull that from because it was truly the black woman experience ♥️

Shoutouts to Mike Epps and Wanda

[@commercialaccount9501]

I can tell Jess has a lot of respect for the women they bring on the show.

[@Spsp-xz4zw]

She gets quiet on a lot of interviews

[@Importeknika316]

That's not respect, Jess just isn't able to ask intelligent questions or contribute anything of substance....THAT'S why she barely speaks and just does her Ad Libs....she does that for almost EVERY interview. Claudia Jordan would have been a much better fit for the role!

[@Spsp-xz4zw]

That’s a fact!

[@Couture426]

She not a good interviewer

[@robertastokes9533]

@@Importeknika316No no! There’s something with the set up of The Breakfast Club .. The 3rd person has a role to play .. there’s a reason Angela Yee has her own show & there’s no negative reason why . Now Jess may not have that, when her seat is done , at “the breakfast table” .. but there’s talk of her having a standup..

[@keairradawood-ht8ok]

They need to put the ENTIRE season out...The show is hilarious

Ms Chip pushed out two beautiful women that are both splitting images of her. Those genes bro....skrong! Also, I have to say, that Kim did NOT belong no where near RHOA!!! She was too legendary to be fooling with them ladies. The way they chewed her up was so disrespectful. But glad she's shining 🌟

[@thereal1_p37]

This was such a dope interview

[@BillCosbyTouchedMyDoodle]

She directed nearly 50% of the series Kenan & Kel (the most episodes out of the directors staff), and shamelessly plugged herself in the Thanksgiving episode when Kel brought home two live turkeys and named them Tootie and Regine. Director Malcolm Jamal Warner did the same thing in an episode where Kel was on the couch and said “I’m watching Cosby.” Gotta respect that hunger.
