It’s a Girl: Why Porsha Williams Didn’t Look So Happy at Gender Reveal Party

Porsha Williams and fiancé Dennis McKinley are no doubt excited about welcoming their first child together in the next several months. But fans noticed Williams didn’t appear pleased at the time of the gender reveal. Yet the reason why may not be what you’d expect.

“Dish Nation” producer and writer Bianca Haly captured the moment that the expectant parents and their party guests let the pink confetti fly to reveal Williams is having a baby girl. But Williams, who sported a blue and pink ombré hair, was noticeably upset once her confetti was released. She waved her arms around and scrunched her face up as the crowd cheered.

Fans definitely took notice.

“Why they look pissed?”

“Lol wth she’s spazzing 😂”

“I think she wanted a boy.”

“Ya he doesn’t look the least bit happy then you got her throwing a fit about her confetti not working 🙄”

“Y is she upset? Was it suppose to be blue? lol.”

“Girl stop pouting!!!”

Meanwhile, some fans wondered if twins could be on the way because of the blue confetti.

“I am confused is she having twins a girl and boy because hers comes out blue.”

“@glitters0143 thats what I was wondering too Cause I saw blue as well. Maybe they are having twins…”

But one explained why they think Williams was actually upset.

“I think her cannon had blue confetti by mistake because u can see it in the sea of pink. I think thats why porsha got upset. Wrong cannon color.”

Even still, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star made it clear in subsequent posts on her own Instagram page that she was delighted by the revelation.

“💞#TeamGirl won! My little PJ is on her way! 🎀 #GenderReveal #BabyMcKinley 🙏🏾 Poppers: @superiorcelebrations #SuperiorCelebrations,” she said in one post.

“HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY🎀🤸🏾‍♀️ #MiniPrincessPorsha,” Williams captioned another video of her dancing excitedly while rubbing her stomach.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
