Porsha Williams Sets Record Straight on Rumored Fight at Todd Tucker’s Birthday Party

Rumors erupted over the weekend that  “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams had gotten into a fight at Todd Tucker’s birthday bash and the reality star is setting the record straight.

Tucker’s party was thrown by his wife, RHOA star Kandi Burruss, with a theme of Jerseys and Jordans. But a source told Media Take Out Sunday, Aug. 5 that the uniforms and shoes were off when Williams “blacked out” on a fellow party guest.

“Porsha went ballistic, tried to hurt that girl,” the source claimed, adding that Williams started arguing with a woman. “Everyone ran when the violence broke out.”

Fans wasted little time before they began weighing in on the alleged brawl.

“Porsha must be messy as f—k because she stays throwing them hands. Either that or them regular built women are jealous because she a bad b—-.”

“Sounds like somebody is trying to set Porsha up. Watch your enemies Porsha. They’ll set you up, to take you down.”

“I don’t believe this, she’s a better person now but Kenya deserved that dragging back then.”

“Sometimes u try to change but a b—- will make u knock her out..🌹⭐.”

“In every incident……SHE WAS DEFENDING HERSELF……NEVER THE AGGRESSOR……Now how she defends herself…..hhmmmmm….u get how u get it !!!! Porsha is the happy go [lucky] type…..stop pushing her buttons for ur storyline BORING AZ ZZZ KANDI.”

However, an RHOA fan Instagram page reached out to Williams directly over the matter and the “Dish Nation” co-host said Monday, Aug. 6 that the report “it’s absolutely false.”

While this current claim of a fight isn’t true, that hasn’t always been the case for Williams. She was famously egged on by fellow RHOA cast member Kenya Moore during the season 6 reunion when Williams lost her cool and went after her co-star. A couple of years later, Williams allegedly attacked her assistant outside of a Christmas party, the footage of which went previously unaired before the season 8 reunion.

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.
