RHOA’s Kenya Moore takes on challenge of a lifetime on Fox’s ‘Special Forces’

While we all know Kenya Moore for being tough as nails and not backing down from anyone or anything, her toughness came up against the ultimate test in Fox’s new show “Special Forces.”
Moore is just one of the 16 household names participating in the new FOX series “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.” The network describes the show as “the ultimate celebrity social experiment.” The premise of the show is that the celebrities go through brutal training challenges under the guidance of real ex-Special Forces operatives.
“You wouldn’t believe me until you see it with your own eyes,” Moore wrote about her experience in an Instagram post. “This show was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do in my life and it was all real no stunt doubles just us. In Amman Jordan in the Middle East—- in the desert in the Summer,” she continued.
The 16 celebrities who are taking on the role of “Special Forces recruits” are reality royalty including Kenya Moore, Kate Gosselin and Hannah Brown, athletes Danny Amendola, Dwight Howard, Carli Lloyd, Mike Piazza, Nastia Liukin, Gus Kenworthy, singers Mel B and Montell Jordan, actors Jamie Lynn Spears and Beverley Mitchell, TV doctor Drew Pinsky, TV chef Tyler Lawrence and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
With grueling training and challenges, fans may be asking, why in the world would you sign up for this? For Moore, it was about more than just signing up for another reality show.
“I wanted to prove something to myself, that I am as tough as I think I am but I wanted to show my daughter that I not only talk the talk but I can walk the walk,” Moore told Fox 5 Atlanta. “I just want to be an example for her in terms of what she could do in life.”
Each celebrity will take on one of their biggest fears.
“I was almost disabled by a fear of heights,” Moore said. “I have this incredible fear of heights and I felt like if I could overcome that, maybe with this show, it kind of taught me mind over matter.”
You can catch “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Fox.
