‘Go Enjoy Your Summer Sis’: Porsha Williams Appears to Get Some Encouragement from Sister to Live Her Best Life Amid Ending of Engagement

It appears Porsha Williams sister may have sounded off on the star’s failed relationship with Dennis McKinley, according to a recent post on her Instagram Story.

Lauren Williams, who shares the same dad as “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, posted a memo to her social media page Sunday that seemed to comment on rumors of infidelity that swirled around McKinley earlier this month.

“Remember ladies… he’s 100% texting other b—-es. Stop tripping over him & go enjoy your summer sis,” read the June 24 post from the TV star’s younger half-sibling.

Lauren added that the post was a “Friendly remember that I needed myself 😊,” so it may not have necessarily been targeted at McKinley. However, a source told HollywoodLife.com earlier this week that Lauren is among the loved ones who gave Porsha similar advice to move on from McKinley.

“Her family and friends have been in her ear for weeks now telling her that she should leave him,” the insider said. “This was all her own decision and they all knew that she would come to this on her own.”

Porsha apparently came to that decision by the time her 38th birthday rolled around last weekend. It was at that time that reports came out that she had broken her engagement with McKinley, with whom she shares baby girl Pilar Jhena’.

The news followed rumors that McKinley had been unfaithful, namely with “WAGS Atlanta” star Sincerely Ward. However, she denied the rumors saying, “I really have no clue where this came from” adding, “I’ve never met Dennis.”

Additionally, McKinley took the claims to heart by vowing to take legal action against the vlogger who levied the allegations.

“These false and slanderous allegations against me are made solely to damage my reputation, jeopardize my ongoing businesses, and negatively impact my family,” McKinley said in a statement to E! News. “My attempts to ignore this slander have only empowered Latasha Kebe (aka Tasha K.) to create more false accusations. I am currently taking legal action — and am currently being represented by Michael T. Sterling of Dreyer Sterling, LLC.”

Presently, Williams has returned back to work and continues to focus on the 3-month-old daughter she shares with McKinley. The “RHOA” star even took PJ with her when she made her first appearance on “Dish Nation” Monday since wrapping up her maternity leave.

“Being a mom is amazing,” she told her co-workers on-air. “It’s the biggest blessing ever. I pray for little Pilar and her spirit is just so sweet and peaceful. She’s just a little diva.”

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.
