‘The Last Time She Smiled’: Porsha Williams’ Throwback Pic of Baby PJ Has Fans Making Jokes

It was only five months ago that Porsha Williams welcomed daughter Pilar Jhena’ into the world. And a day before PJ turned 5 months old, her parents Williams and Dennis McKinley shared a photo from her early days.

“Throw back babyP 😆” the photo of a much younger Pilar was captioned when it was posted to her Instagram page August 21.

But when fans noticed the big grin on the face of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star’s daughter’s face, they instantly recalled the youngster’s mean mug that typically graces her pics. It’s the same straight face that could give Gabrielle Union‘s baby Kaavia James, aka Shady Baby, a run for her money.

“The first and last time she gave a smile like this lol after that she adopted the #RESTFACE.”

“The only Pilar smiled in a pic 😂😂😂”

“Was that one of her last smiles?????”

“The one smile I ever saw. She is going the check her parents right through life. LOL somebody has to be serious.”

“That’s the last time she smiled ain’t it? 🤔🤣🤣🤣”

“She ain’t smile since 😂😂❤️”

It’s true that Pilar doesn’t appear to be easily amused by much. When her parents played a failed practical joke on each other last weekend, she lounged in the pool and floated by without so much as a smirk.

The same day her throwback photo was posted to Instagram, another image was uploaded to the account of PJ giving someone a look with her #RestingBabyFace.

“Excuse me ???” the image was captioned.

Fans who glimpsed the pic remarked about PJ’s stern appearance.

“Pj never smiles always in #mood mode she already bougie.”

“She is the definition of unbothered ❤️🦋”

However, there are times that Pilar will let her mouth unfurl into a grin.

When the little one was getting glammed up with her hair earlier this month she couldn’t help but let a smile come through. The result was her followers raving over her “serving dimples and eyebrows,” as one fan put it.

“Super cute! Those dimples! #teamdimples”

“She’s smiling 😍😍😍”

“Omg she is sooooo cute”

“Pj is smilling💕”

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.
