Something is different about the new “Real Housewives of Atlanta” promotional picture. No Porsha Williams.
Actress Claudia Jordan has now unwittingly replaced two popular women on the airwaves, as she recently took over as co-host of the “Rickey Smiley Morning Show” from beloved personality Ebony Steele.
Originally, Bravo had intended RHOA star Williams to continue her role as a main cast member this season in spite of her weave-pulling brawl with Kenya Moore.
But when filming began, Bravo tried to get Williams and Moore to talk things out, but Williams nearly yanked at her weave again. Worse, Williams was ready to beat the brakes off Claudia Jordan.
Aside from those issues, Williams refused to disclose the most intimate aspects of her personal life. And since she is not the most charismatic personality in the world, she left Bravo execs with little to film about her.
Therefore, to her surprise, Bravo honchos were reportedly forced to demote her to recurring role on the show that made her famous.
Williams at first just posted this message on Instagram:
“No more peach for me, but I still love checking in with my girls” #Blessed #SomethingMajor #JustHereToSlay #TeamPorsha
Check out what else she has to say about the surprising matter:
Porsha Williams:
This is not an easy time for me right now, but I want let everyone to know that I loved being a ‘Housewife’ on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and I am thankful for Bravo for the opportunity but it’s not goodbye, you will see me on the show throughout the season sharing and bonding with the other women and I promise to stay connected with my fans as I start an exciting new time in my life.
After a long season of filming, and giving my all, I was blindsided by the announcement from the network that I was demoted from ‘Housewife Status,’ but would remain on the show in a ‘Friend’ capacity.
Unfortunately, I can only be PORSHA, and portraying anything else, would not be genuine nor honest. This moment is bittersweet, but God has been so amazing to me, and I think this is a perfect time for me to spread my wings, and finally focus on all of my upcoming projects.
