‘Ain’t Scared of Nothing’: Porsha Williams Shows Off ‘Gangster’ Daughter’s Reaction to This

Porsha Williams is getting in on the viral trend of letting a virtual spider crawl over her little one’s face, but “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star’s daughter had a decidedly different reaction compared to the ones many kids exhibit.

On Instagram Monday, Williams posted a brief video of 7-month-old Pilar Jhena’ smiling and clapping as a filter was displayed of a tarantula crawling around her face.

“She likes it,” Williams says after laughing and tapping her nails across her daughter’s face.

“My baby is a weirdo like me !! Ain’t scared of nothing 😂👊🏽 @pilarjhena,” read Williams’ video caption.

And while many videos online see kids screaming out of fright or reacting by slapping the spider away, Pilar had a much calmer response. When she wasn’t clapping and laughing, she was simply staring with a straight face. Meanwhile, the computerized spider made its way around her head.

Fans took notice of PJ’s reaction and responded in amazement.

“Gangster lol 😂 so freakin cute! 💖”

“Soooooo unbothered 😂😂😂😂”

“Lmao! She smiles as if it feels good lol. 😍”

“That lil Wednesday Adams creepy kid smile! 🤣🤣 she is sooo cute! 🤩”

“She laughing everytime it goes around her neck like she can feel it lol so cute!”

“Pj ain’t seen no spiders yet tell her they’re really scary 😂😂😂😂❤️ too cute”

Many have often been impressed by the stoicism of Williams’ baby girl, her first child whom she shares with fiancé Dennis McKinley. Some fans even believe that PJ’s seriousness may be preparing her to become a big sister.

Williams’ Instagram followers thought she was giving them a hint last week that she may have a bun in the oven. The “RHOA” star posted a video to Instagram of last year’s Halloween costume in which the then-pregnant celebrity dressed as Minnie Mouse.

“Awe I kinda miss being pregnant💃🏿 Throw back Lauren sent me! 😂 #MinnieMouseIsFast,” Williams wrote in the caption of her Oct. 28 post.

As a result, many fans began wondering if Williams had been planning to expand her family.

“I think u may be hinting at something Ms. Porsha!!!!!!! Hmmmm❤️”

“Sending out signals into the universe”

“Do I hear BABY 2”

“Is that a hint 🤔 Porsha? Is there something you and Dennis isn’t telling us? Ummm Baby Pj wants a sibling 🤗”

But the idea that Williams would be wanting to add another baby to her family with McKinley may have to be put on the back burner. The couple has been re-engaged since August, but as viewers discovered on the “RHOA” season 12 premiere Sunday, McKinley’s cheating led him to be booted from the house.

“We’re happy and we’re raising our daughter together,” Williams recently told Us Weekly ahead of season 12 bowing. “It’s been a long road, one we’re still on. We’re going day by day rebuilding our relationship and making sure our foundation is where we want it to be to have a strong family.”

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.
