Say What? Kandi Burruss Says Porsha Williams’ Fiancé Was Dating a Friend While He Was with RHOA Star

After the teaser for next week’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” indicated that Kandi Burruss has some not so positive scoop on Porsha Williams‘ new man, the singer is dishing on those details in a new interview.

Burruss appeared on E!’s “Daily Pop” Monday to chat about the tea she’s got on Dennis McKinley and it’s not looking good for Williams, who is now engaged to and expecting a baby with McKinley.

“I knew some people that he had also dated or whatever and some of the timelines were overlapping,” Burruss says on the Nov. 5 show. “And it was a few things that I just kinda felt like at that time she should know, seeing as though they had a new relationship … But the weird part was, she and I were in this place where we were trying to make things right and it’s kinda weird to bring information they don’t want to hear when … we were trying to fix our relationship.”

Burruss acknowledged that it’s typical for the ladies of RHOA to discuss one another’s new beaus and McKinley was no different.

“He didn’t get a pass and you’ll see!” she added.

In the preview for the 11th season, which bowed Sunday, Nov. 4, Burruss exclaimed McKinley was “a dog” and she indicated she had some dirt on him in a conversation with her husband Todd Tucker, which will play out this Sunday.

“I didn’t want to be like, ‘I got tea on somebody,’” Burruss says before Tucker tells her to stay out of things and the clip cuts away.

Meanwhile, fans have been sharing their thoughts on the latest piece of information Burruss shared with the mid-day pop culture show.

“Can I just listen to @kandi n not watch the show? Her commentaries give me life…juicier than the show.”

“#TeamKandi.xoxo”

“The women on this show has talked about everybody’s man, Porsha’s is not exempt. The only reason people have an issue with Kandi talking about Porsha man is because they’re not the best of friends right now. If Kandi and Porsha was still cool no one would be commenting saying Kandi is a hater or she is jealous of her, y’all would be saying that she is just looking out for her friend.”

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.
