‘I Feel So Sorry For You!’: Fans Mock Porsha Williams After She Claims She Needs to Get Her Hair Done

Like many others these days, Porsha Williams seems to be facing a bit of a hair dilemma. Williams, a reality star from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” announced on Instagram that she was in desperate need of a hair appointment. Since beauty salons are temporarily closed amid the pandemic, Williams revealed she has been maintaining her hair by popping on a few of her wigs. Fans teased the “Dish Nation” personality for complaining about such problems.

Williams, a mother of one, appeared to be reminiscing on the good old days on the night of Thursday, April 16. She posted an old video to the social media platform of her sitting in the car listening to Travis Scott’s hit single, “Sicko Mode.” The 38-year-old Williams was gushing over her laid and slayed mane and wrote in the caption: “Going through my phone, finding videos of my @gonakedhair laid has me wanting to make an appointment asap 😩😂.”

Williams’ video received over 87,000 views, but a few of her fans believed her beauty problems were minor in the grand scheme of things.

One user sarcastically wrote, “Oh, I feel so sorry for you! Only a few wigs…my goodness what in the world would you do. Someone quick get Porsha some more wigs!”

“Girl there are bigger problems than wanting to get your hair done. You look gorgeous though😍,”a second fan said.

“Someone said you have hundreds of beautiful wigs…nice🙌,” a third user stated.

A fourth fan pointed out, “But you’re stunning without the wigs.”

“A fifth fan jokingly wrote, “Wish I had one of your wigs about now 🤣🤣🤣.”

“You can rock whatever sis😍😍😍,” a sixth user explained.

Williams has been changing her hair quite frequently during her shelter-in-place life. She created a TikTok video on April 1 that showcased her cutting her tresses. It’s unclear to fans if she was joking or not since she shared the post on April Fools’ Day.

Williams, a native of Atlanta, flaunted a new hairdo on Instagram the following day, April 2. Her hair extended past her neck and she added wispy bangs to complete her stay-at-home appearance. She named her fresh hairstyle “Quarentina.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
