Porsha Williams wants Kenya Moore to return to RHOA.
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” returns this Sunday. The cast has been busy doing their press rounds. Porsha Williams made headlines today for comments made during her interview at “The Breakfast Club.” She discussed her fallouts with NeNe Leakes and Drew Sidora. Porsha also addressed Kenya Moore‘s controversial departure from Season 16.
Porsha said she is still holding out hopes that Kenya will return to the show in the near future. Unfortunately, Kenya’s feud with RHOA newbie Brittany Eady got really bad.
“The Kenya that I saw this season was not wanting beef and drama too much. She really wasn’t on too much of that. Like you will see that in the first episode. She really was kind of chill with it. Not her normal self. And I just feel like mixed with the newbie and some things that were said that were dangerous from the newbie, I felt like Kenya then decided to be even more dangerous,” she said.
Porsha went on to say, “But I do feel like there’s a space where they could be a conversation with her and Bravo. I feel like there could be a conversation with her and Brit, and hopefully they can figure something out by next season.”
Porsha Williams suspects Drew Sidora and Dennis McKinley tried to set her up for a storyline.
She wants Kenya to attend the reunion, “I would love for her to be at the reunion. I’m for what’s best for the show. And I loved where Kenya was going. She’s not that happy with me right now, but that’s okay. I’ve always been that type. I don’t give a **** how you feel about me. I’m always gonna speak the truth. I feel like at this moment, no matter what, it would be good for Kenya to be at the reunion and I feel like she is very articulate. She can speak to Brit, she can speak to the cast, and she can speak to the fans, and she can find her way back next season (Porsha said Kenya is currently upset with her because she said she and Brit were similar because they are both outspoken and fabulous).”
When it comes to Drew, she suspects Drew and Dennis McKinley were trying to set her up for a storyline by giving her the impression they were dating.
Porsha said, “So here’s the thing, on the show…I don’t know how it’s going to come off because the show has to sensationalize things, right? How good is it for me to be going through a divorce, and I’m still jealous about my baby daddy? That’s BS, right? In real life, she actually was trying to film with him behind my back.”
She said she took issue with Drew on a business level as well.
“So it’s just not cool. It felt like a set up for me in some way. And then also there was a Go Naked photoshoot she was trying to set up without me knowing about it. I have to approve of everything. Some of those fits are not fitting for you. Or some of those looks may not be giving the look. So I would like to, as the owner of the company, be a part of any of that. So when those two things were happening behind my back…with my business, on my show. Yeah, I have a problem with you.”
Porsha continued, “At the end of the day, like I told Shamea, if Drew and Dennis want to get together, I just hope she can do baby hair for Pilar. I’m happy with Drew. I think she’s a great parent. I think if he and her were to get together and they could have a solid relationship, that’s good too. Just don’t screw me where you ask me to come back to. She had been asking me to come back to Housewives, and when I came back, this is what you had waiting on me. This wack storyline that y’all came up with.”
She addressed NeNe’s claims that Porsha told producers of “The Upshaws” she could not film with NeNe because they have struggled to get along and she was difficult to work with.
“When it happened (the divorce filing), I had already signed up to do the show. And I really couldn’t cancel at that point. So when I got there, I was sitting in the green room or the waiting area. And I just start breaking down…and she was in the room next to me. And I heard, just hearing her voice broke me down.”
Porsha added, “Just hearing her voice, it was just too familiar and I had not talked to her. I didn’t know how to face her. I didn’t know how to face anybody. So it genuinely wasn’t me saying I don’t want to work with this person or that person, whomever. I agreed to it. I just wasn’t capable of doing it that day.”
In Porsha’s opinion, NeNe made her situation about herself.
“So when I spoke to them, they were like I understand you’re not going to be able to act like a housewife today. They ended up letting me go home and then they said we’ll fill in your spot with Cynthia (Bailey). And then after that in true NeNe fashion, she just turned it into something about herself. It genuinely was not about her. It was about me. Her actions of taking Simon’s side and hanging out with him and women, or whatever they were doing, it was really just null and void to me. I would have just wanted a friend,” she said.

Porsha Williams had some words for Dr. Simone Whitmore.
Porsha also clapped back at “Married to Medicine” cast member Dr. Simone Whitmore. Simone called Porsha “the number one mean girl” in response to Phaedra Parks calling the #Married2Med OGs mean girls.
“I think Simone is reaching at straws. I mean I don’t know. I think Simone is full of it just like that piece of doo doo she had on her head.”
She continued, “Sometimes when you’re on a reality TV…she’s an OBGYN. She started on the show and she was a regular person, and now on camera. Sometimes when you start lacking in story, you start lacking as a person individually. You start reaching and coming at ****** who are on point. So she’s lacking. When people lack, they like to deflect and come to you.”
Porsha thinks Simone was projecting.
“I think mean girl is when you have a cast member who had a death in their family, and you are still hard on them. Sometimes you gotta know when somebody needs a hug and not a lecture. And Simone does not have that sense at all. I just feel like she has been very mean and a little bit evil to some of her cast mates.”

I’m so glad people finally see Simone and the rest of the mean and bitter crew for what they are now.
Exactly how I feel. Because her and Jackie are the worst and to be as old as they are!!!! I don’t blame Phaedra one bit!
Woo Chile I have to say Porsha seems like she’s matured! I’m ready for the season 👏🔥
Porsha girl you looking good and you look like money but that’s a good thing. Also look like you finally growing up. I like what you said about Kenya I seen some thing on these Realty shows and if Phaedra can come back with all the S****t she did I know my girl Miss Kenya can do the same. Now nasty Simone who think she know everything scream at everybody and bosses her husband around need to sat her old ass down her and Dr.Jackie have on storyline and act just as bad as Heavenly. I think this is my last Season watching them.
Simone and Jackie, are just as two-faced as you can get! Kissing 19,000 Mile’s of Quad messiness! Just put her off the show in California and now they’re so in love with her! It doesn’t matter who knew what, they as grown older women knew what they were doing by having all them on the couples trip! Plus the questions asked were intentionally asked to start some drama! Then Jackie SITS there like she’s on the slow/short bus and all in the middle of the MESS! AND anyone with eyes and ears can see and tell that Heavenly is not worth the ground she walks on! I could never forgive her or wanna be in her presence when she has dogged them out with her outrageous disrespectful words! They are MEAN MESSY OLD BULLIES! AND I was so proud of Toya for telling them about themselves and very disappointed in the men for not supporting Dr. Greg and saying King was rightttt! Ain’t no way when Quad wanna be the head of the show started the entire mess, by being so immature and trying to out shine their dumb tails! And Contessa with her poor 2- faced tail needs to go crawl back where she came from! I use to love the show, but everytime I watch the BULLIES OF THE SHOW, the more I am beginning to hate it! Quad has to GO! JUST CANCEL the show, and if Mariah was the founder and got kicked off then it’s time to shut them DOWN! I WOULD BE EMBARRASSED TO LET MY PATIENTS or anyone see how low down I am in my personal life! I dislike Simone, Quad, and Heavenly, past unbelievable and hope they watch themselves and see how stupid they look!
