Kenya Moore Claims Porsha Williams Tried To STOP Shamea Morton From Joining RHOA – Out Of JEALOUSY!
Kenya Moore isn’t holding back when it comes to her thoughts on Porsha Williams and Shamea Morton’s long-standing friendship.
In a recent episode of her Life Twirls On YouTube series, The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum opened up about conversations she had with Shamea years ago — back when Kenya and Porsha were not on good terms — and reflected on what she saw as a toxic, one-sided dynamic between the two women.
“I’ve known of Shamea since Shamea was first on the show,” Kenya began. “But Shamea and I have gone back and forth plenty of times, at least several times that I know of, because of her rocky relationship with Porsha.” Kenya went on to recall a private chat she once had with Shamea about Porsha’s lack of support when Shamea was allegedly offered a full-time role on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
“A lot of you guys may not know, I’ve actually had a conversation with Shamea a long time ago … when Porsha and I were not cool,” Kenya said. “Everything that I know about their friendship, I’ll just tell you, I never felt that Porsha was supportive of her being on Housewives.”
According to Kenya, Shamea was previously approached to join the cast full-time but didn’t move forward for reasons that were unclear. During that time, Kenya says a telling moment was caught on camera — one that revealed deeper issues in Porsha and Shamea’s dynamic.
“I remember a specific conversation being filmed where Shamea brought up something. Maybe it was her wedding. Maybe it was Porsha not being supportive of her,” Kenya explained. “But I remember Porsha saying something to the effect of, ‘Why are you doing this? Why are you over here? … Do you need the money that bad?’”
Kenya said Shamea appeared “shocked” by Porsha’s remarks and painted the overall dynamic as controlling and competitive. “The gist of the conversation was [Porsha saying], ‘Can’t you just let me have this – and you go over and do what you need to do? But this is my platform. You need to go and either be my support system – or go away,’” Kenya claimed.
“I just remember thinking, is that a friendship – or a relationship of convenience? … What I see is jealousy. What I see is somebody putting their foot on somebody’s neck and saying, ‘You stay down there. I want to be the queen of this.’”
New episodes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta air Sundays on Bravo.
