Porsha Williams revealed why she stopped filming for The Upshaws – after NeNe Leakes claimed Porsha refused to work with her. Porsha also shared why she’s feuding with her Real Housewives of Atlanta costar Drew Sidora, and warned that people “shouldn’t trust her.”
After Porsha filed for divorce from Simon Guobadia, a photo surfaced of NeNe hanging out with Simon and an unknown woman. Shortly before the filing, Porsha had returned to the cast of RHOA.
On a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, Porsha denied NeNe’s claim that she refused to film with her on The Upshaws.
According to Porsha, she had just filed for divorce, but she had “already signed” to film the show. But when she heard NeNe’s voice during production, Porsha began “breaking down,” as she felt “alone” in her divorce.
“I just wasn’t capable of doing it that day, mentally or emotionally,” added Porsha, who said production allowed her to be replaced by Cynthia Bailey. “I could not gather myself … And then after that, in true NeNe fashion, she just turned it into something about herself, and it genuinely wasn’t about her.”
Porsha said NeNe’s decision to hang out with Simon and take “his side” was “null and void to me.”
She also denied NeNe’s suggestion that Porsha didn’t support her while she was grieving her husband Gregg‘s passing. Porsha said she was “out of town” but “flew in” to attend Gregg’s funeral.
“I’m there for my friends,” she said. “I’m always there for her.”
As for her issues with Drew, Porsha shared that her costar is “absolutely” no longer an ambassador for Porsha’s “GoNaked” hair brand.
“I can’t put my head on people’s hair and then they think they’re me,” she said cryptically, via @realitychat on Instagram. “If you’re not her friend, you shouldn’t trust her and you shouldn’t be around her.”
She also revealed that Drew was “trying to film” with her ex Dennis McKinley “behind my back,” which felt like a “set up,” and she didn’t know about it until later – despite Drew’s claim that Porsha gave her permission. She also claimed Drew was trying to “set up” a GoNaked photoshoot without “me knowing anything about” it.
