‘Ooh, the Shade’: Porsha Williams Refuses to Let It Rest Over This Alleged ‘Snake’ in ‘RHOA’ Cast

*#RealFriends: Porsha Williams Won’t Back Down After Fallout with Eva

Porsha Williams is doing her best to stay positive as she not only recovers from surgery but also recovers from a blow from one of her “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-stars.

Williams posted a playful photo to her Instagram page on Friday of her having a good time with friend of the show, Tanya Sam.

“Kicking it with my boo today @itstanyatime Thank you for putting together my scooter 😂💋 #TiTiTanyaCametoVisitUs #GoodOleKiki #RealFriends #Bedrest,” read the simile “ussie.”

Williams got some help from Sam as she continues to recover from extensive foot surgery, which the new mom has yet to disclose the reason for. Yet embedded in the cheery photo caption was a hashtag that may call out Eva Marcielle: #RealFriends.

Earlier this week, Williams took to Instagram to respond to a clip from an upcoming “RHOA” episode in which Marcille says Williams has “enough bulls—t going on in her life” when it comes to rumors of Dennis McKinley cheating on Williams.

“I can forward her a lot of these blogs so she can mind that business,” Marcille says after learning Williams shares the model’s business with Kenya Moore. “Porsha might want to stay all the way up out my business. She still got her c-section healing.”

Williams shared and later deleted the footage on her Instagram account with the caption, “Ima leave this right here. Y’all don’t forget this clip Better yet don’t worry I’ll repost later! Is the answer slide one or slide number 2? Shade or no Shade?” #StayTunedfortheOtherIssueWith1stClip”

The mother of Pilar Jhena’ didn’t stop there, either. She also posted a meme that read, “We never lose friends. We simply learn who the real ones are…”

With that in mind, fans reacted to what they perceived as another dose of shade toward Marcielle.

“Oooh, the shade but yall are beautiful 😂😍❤️❤️”

“The shade in that # realfriend 🤭😆”

“Oop the hashtags but I love y’all ❤️❤️😍”

Williams’ posts come a week after Marcille divulged to TooFab that someone is responsible for betrayal among the “RHOA” cast.

“There’s definitely a snake in the group, and a lot of this season you see us trying to figure out who the snake is,” she said. “And it’s like so unassuming and kind of catches you off guard. Literally, no one expected it. At some point, you’ll find out who it is, but you couldn’t guess it. They just created so much discord between the girls, and different relationships and friendships were severely fractured from this snake.”

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.
