Besides his restaurant getting a bad rap, Daly was under fire after being shown on The Real Housewives of Atlanta saying that he hates being married to Kenya Moore on an episode that aired March 1st. The couple was attending a Black Man’s Lab charity event when he made his comments. After the episode aired, he apologized via the Soco restaurant’s Instagram for his behavior but didn’t address Moore at all.
“As a person of color, it is of paramount importance for me to showcase the positive aspects of my people, hence the reason for my involvement in the Black Man Lab experience,” Daly wrote. “Unfortunately, my genuine attempt at doing something positive was compromised by my personal situation. For that, I sincerely apologize and take sole responsibility.”
There was speculation that the two were reconciling after being seen holding hands last month. After this clip aired, Moore dropped her married name from her social media accounts. The former lovebirds have a one-year-old daughter, Brooklyn.
