Porsha Williams said her ex-bestie Shamea Morton did something “so low-down” and “hurtful” that Porsha decided to shy away from speaking on her. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star also suggested that her co-star K. Michelle “chose the wrong team” and wasn’t “authentic.”
Last season, Porsha saw the end of her friendship with Shamea, who became a full-time Housewife for the first time. In the new season, Porsha found herself at odds with K. Michelle after asking the singer if she had a miscarriage. K. Michelle later wrote a negative post about Porsha and suggested she wasn’t intelligent.
Meanwhile, K. Michelle is also feuding with Drew Sidora. Though fans first thought they were fighting about their respective singing careers, K. Michelle said it was about something else (even though she shaded Drew’s career).
On Reality with The King, Porsha addressed her status with Shamea.
“I shy away from talking about Shamea in recent interviews just because in season 17, she did something so low-down, so disrespectful, so hurtful, and so unwarranted,” said Porsha, via @thebravoshaderoom on Instagram. “What ended up happening [was] out of nowhere. It was something that just taught me, okay, you really probably shouldn’t … speak about this person too much. You should probably just, you know, step back and let her have it.”
“Our friendship was real,” Porsha went on. “And her still being on the show, I had to come into this season knowing, okay, you know what? We’re no longer friends. We no longer have a relationship at all. … But it did get very bad in the end of the show. Like she ended up bringing something, and I was like, this is out of the blue.”
Later on, Porsha shared her feelings about K. Michelle.
“I’ll just say this: In general, as a person in any space … if you are in any group and you are talking to somebody and they don’t have a heart to understand you, they don’t want to understand you.”
“It could be for whatever reason, ratings or [wanting] to be right or [wanting] to see you as wrong. They’re never going to understand,” she added. “They’re never going to actually say out loud, ‘Oh, I understand,’ because they’re too busy trying to do something else.”
Porsha said she doesn’t know if K. Michelle’s drama with Drew will “go over as well as maybe she thinks it will.”
“I think that when [K. Michelle] looks back at this first season, she’ll probably be like, ‘Oh, I probably chose the wrong team. And I probably should have gone about things in a more authentic way,'” said Porsha. “I think that she is a cool girl, but Housewives isn’t that. … It’s about what’s honest.”
New episodes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta air on Sunday nights on Bravo.
