Kandi Burruss Unfollows Porsha Williams Amid Speculation of a Feud

Kandi Burruss has given Porsha Williams a taste of her own medicine and unfollowed her “Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star.

Fans noticed the development earlier on Wednesday, Aug. 15 and a search of the people Burruss is following confirmed it.

This is the latest development in the apparent implosion of the co-stars’ relationship, which seemed to be on the up and up earlier this summer.

“The Lord worked on me,” Burruss told “The Daily Pop” in July of what led her and Williams to put the past behind them. “I really was tired of all the drama from the past seasons and I feel like she was tired of it too. I feel like we both really wanna move forward … In this situation, I honestly felt like, OK, we are genuinely having a good time. We should be able to be cool.”

The change came nearly a year after now-fired housewive Phaedra Parks owned up to telling Williams a rumor that Burruss and her husband wanted to rape and drug her in their rumored sex dungeon. It got the singer reasonably fired up.

“Do y’all know people would was under my comments saying #KandiAKABillCosby? Do you think that s— is f—— cool?” Burruss said during the reunion last year, getting so angry that she began crying. “Y’all know how much I care about my business and my brand. We throw shade, whatever. But drugs? … Drugging somebody while drinking and taking them home is rape. Y’all accused me of being a f—ing rapist. That is crazy.”

Days before Burruss retaliated, Williams had shown she was no longer on good terms with Burruss by unfollowing her on Instagram and reportedly removing a photo of the pair at Todd Tucker‘s birthday party earlier this month.

Since then, fans have repeatedly asked Williams what caused her to stop following her co-star.

“Girl why did you unfollow Kandi and delete her pics? What did she do? Keep bringing up that BS again ???”

“Why did Porsha unfollow Kandi🧐everything was going good😩.”

Many fans were wondering if the rumor of an altercation at Todd’s birthday party was indeed true and caused the feud. Porsha was accused of getting into a fight with one of Kandi’s associates during the party. Porsha, however, denied the rumor.

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.
