‘RHOA’ Star Porsha Williams Gets Big Chop, Is Compared to Toni Braxton, Halle Berry, and Tamron Hall: “Yep It’s All Gone’

The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams now has a short pixie hairstyle.

The reality star debuted her new look on Instagram on Sunday, Dec. 20, and she’s being compared to stars like Toni Braxton, Halle Berry and Tamron Hall.

“Yep it’s all gone #BIGCHOP,” Williams, 39, captioned the post.

“Loooooove❤️,” her cast mate Drew Sidora commented.

Wiliams’s sister Lauren wrote, “YOU DID IT!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.”

“Talkin bout u bald! U look good! U gotta whole Toni Braxton head full!!!!” she added.

One fan commented, “Tamron Hall vibes 🔥💕.”

“cmon Halle!!!😍😍😍😍,” another person said.

Williams has been documenting her hair growth journey this year, so her short style may come as a surprise for some fans.

In June, she posted a behind-the-scenes video that showed off her natural hair before she got her wig from her line Go Naked Hair installed.

The mom of one was in full glam, and her hair was braided down for installation. 

“When you in the middle of your @gonakedhair photo shoot waiting on your wig to be curled lol #StayTuned,” she captioned the clip.

The reality star also posted a picture on her Instagram Story that showed her hair outside of the cornrows in a ponytail.

“My secret treatment is really helping with my #HairGrowth !” Williams wrote.

Later in July, she again posted a video clip captured by her hairstylist Tanisha Bullock, who was about to trim her hair.

Williams swung her mid-back tresses back and forth as Bullock told her, “Your hair is crazy long.”

“I guess minding your business does pay off lol Hair just flourishing😂🔥 ,” the “RHOA” star captioned the video. 

She once again teased a hair care line by adding, “Thanks to my lil secret concoction” along with “#StayTuned.”

Williams has yet to confirm whether her new big chop signals she is creating a hair care line.

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.
