‘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.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
