It seemed like Porsha Williams avoided the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” chopping block this summer when producers decided to keep her on board even though she attacked Kenya Moore during the explosive reunion show. But it seems like the producers found a new reason to dump Williams because she revealed yesterday that she’s been demoted on the show.
Williams revealed the news on her Instagram page yesterday, announcing to her fans that she’s no longer holding a peach with the rest of the main cast.
“‘No more peach for me, but I still love checking in with my girls #Blessed #SomethingMajor #JustHereToSlay #TeamPorsha,” Williams captioned the photo.
According to TMZ, sources claim that Williams was demoted to just a “friend” on the show after filming begin on the current season because they were frustrated with her diva attitude.
Bravo allegedly intended to have Williams be a full cast member, but when they tried to get her to film with Moore to hash out their problems, she nearly came to blows with Moore once again. Williams also stirred up a new beef with new cast member Claudia Jordan.
Sources also claim that Williams refused to open up to the cameras about the details of her personal life, leaving producers with no strong storyline to give her.
Luckily for producers, they’d already signed Demetria McKinney and Claudia Jordan to the show. And Although McKinney was originally supposed to be the new girl holding the peach and Jordan was supposed to be a “friend,” Jordan’s storyline and beefs were so great that the producers switched it up and gave Jordan the peach instead, effectively replacing Williams.
Although Williams seemed at peace with the decision, she later told TMZ that she was shocked that she’d been demoted.
Williams says she was “blindsided” by the decision, saying “portraying anything else, would not be genuine nor honest.”
Luckily for Williams, she recently joined the cast of the radio show “Dish Nation,” where she released a full statement about her demotion. Read what she had to say after the cut. – nicholas robinson
