‘Girl Got Them Hands’: Porsha Williams’ Celebration of Daughter’s Clapping Derails Over This

Porsha Williams daughter continues to give Gabrielle Union’s #ShadyBaby a run for her money.

Pilar Jhena’ was videoed by her proud mama Sunday as “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star encouraged her daughter to put her hands together and clap.

“Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!” Williams says in a sing-song tone in an Oct. 27 video she shared to her own Instagram page as well as PJ’s official account.

“Clap your hands, boo-boo,” the “RHOA” star adds, grabbing one of her daughter’s hands and patting it against the other.

PJ did as her mom boosted her up to do, but her face told a different story than the cheery tone her mom had. And fans took note of it and remarked on it in the comments.

“After the clapping..get this camera outa ma face pj always a mood bravo most gorgeous baby👀”

“Pj be looking like she wanna slap some sense in somebody @porsha4real”

“When she noticed she was being recorded🤣🤣 sis don’t be here for it at alll!!!”

“Pilar looked like she was about to slap that phone out her face🤣🤣🤣🤣”

“she not playing with you she don’t not like the camera lol”

“Girl got them hands for anyone who start to act up. 😩😩🤣🤣🤣💖”

Much like Union’s daughter Kaavia James, Pilar is often unimpressed by the world around her.

As Williams and PJ flew from Greece back home to Atlanta earlier this month, fans took notice of Pilar’s serious facial expression as she and her mom gazed out the airplane window.

The moment led fans to remark on how stern the then 6-month-old appeared.

“That baby got a meannnn rest face!!! She’s not to be played with! 😍

“U can tell pilar will be a very serious young lady when she gets older cause from now she’s not having it either lol”

“She stay mugging !!!! 😂🥰 I love @pilarjhena”

A similar moment came back in August when Williams shared a throwback photo of PJ as a newborn when she showed off a brand-new gummy grin. Several fans noticed the contrast between the facial expression of PJ’s much-younger self and her currently more stoic appearance.

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

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

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

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.
