Phaedra Parks isn't the only Real Housewives of Atlanta star to be linked to shady business dealings. RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the charity organization Kenya Moore featured on Sunday's episode, Saving Our Daughters, recently had their tax-exempt status revoked by the IRS for withholding information about their finances!

According to tax documents obtained by Radar, Saving Our Daughters has not filed a tax return since 2009. On May 15, 2013, their status as a tax-exempt organization was automatically revoked by the IRS, according to the official government database.

And even when the charity did file tax returns, the information was concerning: In 2009, the charity used just $10,000 of their $108,233 revenue for grants. The head of the charity, Curtis Benjamin, awarded himself a salary that was more than three times that. And the year before, they donated just $10,500 out of $84,874.

Despite these issues, the organization continues to boast of celebrity supporters, including NeNe Leakes and Kelly Rowland.

This news comes just days after the Founder and CEO of Saving Our Daughters, released a lengthy statement claiming the charity never received any money from Moore's Masquerade Ball, which was featured on the show Sunday night.

“Ms. Kenya Moore stated that thousands of dollars were raised at this event. To protect the integrity of Saving Our Daughters, our records show that we did not receive any of the proceeds raised from Ms. Moore’s masquerade ball," the statement read. “However, we do appreciate the contribution we did receive of $500 for our annual Christmas doll drive for children with cancer."

Moore fired back, releasing photos of checks and text messages that appear to prove she did make a donation to the charity.

“I have video proof more check copies and a contract too so please do not come for me unless I send for you,” Kenya tweeted shortly after the charity accused her of not making any donation. “#dropsmicrophone #grabsbible2pray4u.”
