The engagement announcement surprised “RHOA” fans because Guobadia’s divorce from former “RHOA” cast member Falynn Guobadia had been announced just one month earlier. Williams reportedly brought Faylnn on as a friend of the show.

“Porsha’s Family Matters” also features her mother, two aunts and her sister. Williams’ ex-fiancé and CEO of The Original Hot Dog Factory, Dennis McKinley, also makes an appearance on the reality show. McKinley and Williams share a 2-year-old daughter, Pilar Jhena McKinley.

Williams’ relationship with the hot dog entrepreneur played out on “RHOA” with the two ending their romance partly due to McKinley cheating while Williams was pregnant. The couple reconciled and their engagement was featured on the “RHOA.”

However, the two eventually ended their relationship and became co-parents. The trailer footage teases conflict between Guobadia and McKinley. Guobadia can be heard saying “You need to stay the f**k out of my business.” 

Also seen during the trailer is a family member questioning how Williams could be engaged to a married man. Her sister, Lauren, questions how her sister and Guobadia could have gotten engaged in two weeks. Guobadia has been married three times. Williams is divorced from former professional football player Kordell Stewart.

“The optics don’t look great because people don’t have all the facts,” Williams conceded.

The trailer was released on Oct. 25, and fans reacted to the drama seen in the clip, including Williams breaking down and what looked like a physical altercation between unknown parties.

Several fans were excited about “Porsha’s Family Matters” and commented on what seemed like some sort of altercation during the dramatic trailer. Some thought crew members were fighting and others thought Williams may have been involved.

“The way I didn’t see Porsha’s trailer all day and now I’m seeing that someone is throwing a glass and she is using the BOOM to hit somebody??? What is happening.”

“I see why they extended filming for a Porsha’s show!! Chile, it was A LOT going on!!!”

“Wait so Porsha ASSAULTED her entire family and a cameraman in her show?”

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.
