Kenya Moore told V-103's Ryan Cameron this morning that she didn't throw a tantrum on the set of Food Network's reality show "Worst Cooks of America," as reported by The Daily Mail yesterday.

"Did you have a meltdown?" Cameron asked.

"Hell no!" Moore said. "Really?"

"People just love to put out crazy stories because people will believe them and get clicks and publicity," Moore continued. "It's a little publicity stunt from someone on that show. I had a really great time. All of the cast, celebrities and such, were the best. The nicest group of people ever. We laughed from beginning to end."

The accusation that she was wearing six-inch stilettos to cook? That's true. But she said: "I wasn't sexy at all."

"It's a made-up ridiculous story," she concluded. "Mostly made up."

"Temper tantrum? That's not me!"
