Update: Porsha Williams Returns Home After Being Hospitalized Reportedly for ‘Large Fibroids’

After Nene Leakes disclosed her “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Porsha Williams was hospitalized, the expectant mother took to Instagram Monday night to share she was back home.

“Home Sweet Home 🏡 Thank you so much for all [your] thoughts and prayers,😘” Williams posted on her Instagram Story Monday, Nov. 5.

The soon-to-be-mother, who is expecting a baby girl with fiancé Dennis McKinley, was hospitalized overnight Sunday after she was “in a little pain,” as Leakes shared with Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live.”

“Send some prayers and good vibes to our Tink Tink @porsha4real today #goodvibesonly #babyPJisdoingfine #aunteenene #babyboom #RHOA11 🙌🏾,” Leakes disclosed on Instagram earlier that day.

A source told People magazine Monday that Williams stayed at the hospital because of her fibroids, which she mentioned she dealt with before when she announced her pregnancy.

“She is suffering some pregnancy complications due to large fibroids,” the insider said. “She was admitted to the hospital and will be staying a little longer than expected. Heartbeat and baby are strong.

“She has to get to full term so prayers are being asked for,” they added.

Williams’ pregnancy was unexpected but welcome because of her past miscarriage.

“I’ve had a miscarriage before in my past, which I’ve also been open about because I suffer with fibroids and had to have a myomectomy,” the RHOA star told People in September. “So just the fear of, ‘Is the baby going to be okay? Will I make it full term?’ All those questions that you ask if you’ve had a miscarriage before.”

Fans have continued to send Williams well-wishes throughout her pregnancy as a result.

“Praying For Porsha And Her Baby Get Well Soon God Bless You Both 🙏🙏🙏”

“Get well soon.”

“Positive vibes for you and pray.”

“Prayers going up 4you Porsha and baby#Love#StayStrong.”

 

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.
