NBCUMV Porsha Williams
Not so fast.
According to a recent report from journalist Anthony Dominic, it’s rumored that Porsha Williams will not be returning for season 14 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” However, on September 17, 2021, multiple sources revealed to Page Six that her departure is not yet set in stone.
“Porsha is still in communication with the network and talks to participate in Season 14 are ongoing,” the insider told the outlet.
Another source told Page Six, “In the past, Porsha has repeatedly told her castmates that she doesn’t want to come back to the show. Even though it’s such a successful show and she’s loved by fans, she thinks she might want to explore her career beyond the show. She’s also worn out by Kenya [Moore] and all the drama she’s put her through.”
The second source continued, “There are so many opportunities for Porsha right now. There’s a feeling she may have outgrown ‘Housewives’ and could very well pull a Bethenny Frankel or NeNe Leakes, where she takes time off and then comes back.”
Season 14 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is set to start filming sometime in October 2021.
