Just like a lot of other people, I watched The Real Housewives Of Atlanta Reunion this past Sunday. I watched Porsha Williams pull Kenya Moore to the ground by her hair, after being repeatedly provoked by Kenya.
No one condones violence ( in public, anyway. behind the scenes I’m sure there are those who cheered Porsha).
For the last two seasons, Kenya Moore has bullied, chided, ridiculed, and picked on Porsha. There is no question about it. Kenya singled out Porsha, thinking she was the weaker of the ladies, and preceded to treat her in a way that we decry in other bullies. Yes, Kenya was disrespectful to Phaedra, but she took it to another level with Porsha.
Even on the reunion show, when Nene Leakes spoke over Kenya Moore, Kenya did not ONCE use that bullhorn towards her. Not once. Kenya knew better.
Kenya decided that she wanted to be a stand-out on the show, and would do it by any means necessary, which included bullying Porsha Williams.
Porsha had enough. I think we all had enough. Andy Cohen, along with Bravo saw the constant bullying. Andy says they don’t condone violence, but they DO condone bullying? The name calling, the shade thrown at Porsha’s marriage constantly, all eventually were going to take their toll. We all saw it coming.
Kenya Moore appeared to be jealous of Porsha Williams, in my opinion. That is not to say that Kenya isn’t a pretty woman, because she is. I think the jealousy lies in the fact that Porsha was married, and is young enough to have children without the need for any type of fertility treatment.
Kenya talked a lot about Karma on the reunion show. Maybe Karma is catching up with her as well.
Kenya said she has never had her boyfriends in the spotlight, as if to say she has a history of keeping her relationships private, and that’s why her African Prince has not surfaced on the show. My question to that is this: If you never like to have your relationships on public display, why was Walter on the show? Does that mean the relationship really WAS fake, or are you now using this privacy routine because there is no relationship with the no-named African Man?
You can’t have it both ways.
The talk now is that Porsha Williams may be fired. I hope not. If anyone should be let go, it should be Kenya Moore. While we all like a little ratchetness and drama, Kenya Moore was THE most divisive character on the show. She was down right mean and hateful. All for attention. Pointing the sceptre in Porsha’s face, yelling with the bullhorn in Porsha’s face, all of that was childish, mean, and totally uncalled for.
While I understood Andy Cohen decrying violence, I’m disappointed that he didn’t decry the bullying that went on by Kenya Moore. As a Gay man, whether he himself was bullied or not, he knows how hurtful and harmful that can be. People have taken their own lives as a result of bullying.

You hit the nail on the head Leslie. Well said! Kenya Moore is not the victim. She harassed, bullied, and goaded Porsha into flipping on her. All the extra props showed she was looking to get a response. Well i am sure that she got a little more than she bargained for. Perhaps she will think twice before all the theatrics next time.
Amazing point and very much true! Kenya did exactly what was looked of her with Andy sitting right there…blank stare. Apollo beat up the other guy and he remained with a job so hopefully, Porsche will be allowed to as well. Kenya is definitely jealous of Porsha, point blank. Kenya is insecure and unfortunate karma she brings upon herself. She always wants pity for her life situations (her mom, etc) but remember this is the same person that threatened to kick a pregnant woman’s ass, last season.
Great point! They didn’t fire Apollo for kicking Brandon’s butt!!
While I understand your point of view I disagree. Porsha and Kenya engaged I’m a verbal alterhation on the reunion and for the past two seasons i.e. bye ashy. They don’t get along and that’s fine. However, Porsha was not bullied. Last year she and Phaedra teased Kenya for not being married. This year she talks about the womans vagina and her boyfriend. Kenya also engaged in the argument insulting Porsha dumb ho and slut from the 90s are pretty equal insults. However, Porsha threatened Kenya with the septer she interrupted her while she was talking to Andy and them Kenya pulled out the obnoxious blowhorn. Porsha became even more upset got up from her seat, charged Kenya and assaulted her.
Kenya had no business pointing anything into anyone’s face. What she was trying to do was play on the fan from last reunion. She had no business yelling at anyone with a bullhorn either. She bullied Porsha for 2 seasons. Period.
Once Porsha engaged in the altercation she could not cry victim. Both ladies slung insults only one slung hands. Porsha was not bullied she was an equal participant.
Porsha was goaded, chided, bullied, until she finally couldn’t take anymore. She didn’t give Kenya what she deserved, but she did put an end to her shenanigans. Bullies can only go so far until the person who is being bullied does something. To themselves, or to the bullier. Kenya is lucky getting dragged was all she got.
Nope, you’re wrong. Porsha did not meet kenya and start. Porsha was nice until kenya came with the crap. I would sling mud if someone slung it at me first. I mean really. What do you expect porsha to do? Keep trying to be kenya’s friend or verbal abuse bag?
