‘I Need to Shut Up’: Kandi Burruss Feels That Porsha Williams Moved on to her Fiancé Simon Guobadia Too ‘Fast’

Posted byBy Rachel George | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Reality TV star Kandi Burruss of “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” made an appearance on the Sunday, March 6, episode of “Watch What Happens,” where she shared her thoughts on the “RHOA” spinoff “Porsha’s Family Matters.”

Porsha Williams left “RHOA” after season 13 to star in her own spinoff, which features her family, her daughter, Pilar Jhena McKinley, and life with her new fiancé, entrepreneur Simon Guobadia.

“I loved it,” Burruss said of the spinoff, before answering a second question about whether she believed Porsha moved on too quickly from her ex-fiancé, Dennis McKinley. Though they appeared blissfully in love, McKinley cheated on “The Pursuit of Porsha” author while she was pregnant with their now 3-year-old toddler in 2019. The former couple attempted to reconcile, but officially parted ways in 2020.

“The Chi” actresss and many others have questioned the timeline of when Williams and Guobadia became official. After a month of dating, he proposed to Williams with a massive $1 million ring in May 2021, but Burruss believes it was too soon.

She said, “I might get in trouble for this answer, but first I love the show. I thought it was a really good show because I mean it was good TV. And I watched every episode. I like Simon. This is not against him, but I do feel like she moved on pretty fast.”

Burruss seemed hesitant to answer, considering her past fueds with Williams during their nine seasons together on “RHOA.” The two previously had disputes about gossiping and discussing their relationships.

“It’s funny because me and her had this argument before when I told her I felt she was moving too fast in the last relationship,” Burruss said. “And she was mad at me for saying something. So I promised I wouldn’t speak on her relationships anymore, so I need to shut up.”

Porsha Williams and Simon revealed their engagement in May 2021 — four months after he filed for divorce from former “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Falynn Guobadia.

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.
