Porsha Williams Hits Back at Kandi Burruss Dishing Dirt on Her Man

Kandi Burruss got all the hot tea about Porsha Williams’ fiancé on Sunday night’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” and when Williams got wind of it, she took the high road.

Burruss caught up with brand manager/consultant Jami who disclosed that Dennis McKinley, who was Williams’ boyfriend at the time, had dated a friend of hers. Burruss also shared that she knew a couple of people whom McKinley dated and the pair discovered The Original Hot Dog Factory owner has a propensity to wine and dine his women and show his devotion by tattooing their names — and then some — on his body

“He falls pretty quickly and he tattoos people’s names on him,” Burruss said during the session. “I know somebody he got his tattoo of. I think he got her face and her name.”

As the scene rolled, Williams gushed to her mom about how McKinley was wining and dining her. She also stunned Diane when she showed her a photo of her man’s leg, which had her name inked on it.

“Oh, and I didn’t tell you the other part,” Williams added. “He gon’ put my face on his back. This is for real, like, he ain’t going nowhere.”

When Burruss’ friend Carmen mused about McKinley pulling the tattoo stunt with Williams the singer exclaimed, “At that point, I’ll be like, ‘Does he do this to everybody?'”

Williams watched the show along with everyone else and chimed in on Burruss’ tea pouring by taking the high road.

“Hating hoes ain’t HAPPY & happy hoes ain’t HATING! #FlyingAbove 🔥,” she captioned a Nov. 18 Instagram photo of her and McKinley grinning widely. The hashtag even references Burruss’ 2009 single “Fly Above.”

Fans ate up the star’s attitude about it.

“Periodttttt Kandi is acc a hater and all her employees are the same. 😭”

“Facts! Enjoy your time.”

“That’s a nice shade tree you planted Porsha 😎🌴🤣🤣🤣🤣”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
