Singer and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burruss recently spilled the tea on her and Porsha Williams’ rekindled friendship.

Burruss and Williams were beefing on seasons 9 & 10 on ‘RHOA’, but the ladies seemed to be back on good terms. They were recently spotted out together in Miami along with their other cast-mates for the taping of season 11 and the opening of NeNe Leakes’ boutique.

Fans also noticed that Burruss started following Williams back on Instagram during the reality stars’ trip to Florida.

The mother of two also posted a few clips of her Bravo television talk show “Kandi Koated Nights” on Instagram and in the caption she wrote, “I guess it’s ok for me to post you since we’re cool again after this weekend…😂,” and tagged Williams in her post.

“Oh!! Im glad you and Porsha has made amend,” one person wrote.

“Im so happy for the show [Kandi Koated Nights] but even happier that u finally forgave [Porsha Williams], i really felt she was genuinely sorry and def played by [Phaedra Parks]!” another fan expressed.

Burruss appeared on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” on July 1 and a viewer asked about her standing with Williams. She explained, “It was a long journey and I didn’t think we were going to come back. You know what? It’s so weird because last year, I really wasn’t trying to have drama with her.”

Burruss continued, “It was like everybody else kept bringing things up which continued the tension between she and I. For me, I just didn’t want it to just be about us anymore. I’m sick of the drama or whatever is wrong with the group to be because of she and I. Like, have your own issues with her. Don’t make it because of me.”

The two reality stars became enemies after a tumultuous rumor spread that Burruss allegedly planned to rape and drug Williams in her alleged “sex dungeon.” The gossip led to the firing of former attorney Phaedra Parks. However, fans are happy to see the ladies are friends again.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
