Reality with The King podcast<\/a>, \u201cNo. It didn\u2019t. And not because Kenya didn\u2019t have impact. Because when I came back to the show after taking off for three years, I was excited to be in the same space as Kenya again. You know what I mean? And I didn\u2019t know what the hell that was gonna look like.\u201d<\/p>\nPorsha noted she didn\u2019t know if Kenya would be \u201criding\u201d her about her marriage or her divorce.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I didn\u2019t know if we were gonna be making up or be grown women and try to build a friendship,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut I knew that she was gonna hold a great space for me as another leader in the pack. And even though this is an ensemble cast and people now think, you know, I like being the head person in charge \u2013 no. I love a strong cast\u2026 I don\u2019t need to be the queen of nothing. We [are] all queens as far as I\u2019m concerned, because that means I can work a little less.\u201d<\/p>\n
Porsha did admit Kenya leaving hurt her, though, as she felt like they were able to \u201cmeet each other in a different space.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like my time away and her time away \u2013 when we came back this time, we wanted to get to know each other on a different space,\u201d she elaborated. \u201cIt was more like I respect you, you respect me, damn b*tch I missed you\u2026 forget the drama, let\u2019s see if we can get to know each other because we\u2019re the last ones standing. And so when she left, it wasn\u2019t so much as dang, how am I gonna hold this down. It was you gotta step up to the plate and do what you gotta do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Porsha also explained that she was going through a divorce at the time and \u201cwasn\u2019t really in the space to step up.\u201d<\/p>\n
At another point in the conversation, she touched on her marriage to Kordell and what went wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just think in that marriage, it wasn\u2019t really a fault of his. And it wasn\u2019t really a fault of mine,\u201d she said. \u201d Sometimes when two people get married, they can have an intention to have a particular life. But your upbringing also plays a part.\u201d<\/p>\n
While she explained she was \u201cborn to be a wife,\u201d Porsha insisted her mom had \u201cempowered\u201d her and she forgot about \u201cthat part\u201d during her marriage.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I met Kordell, I had my own childcare centers\u2026 And I was very successful\u2026 When he met me again, the pinnacle and the identity to me was to be a wife,\u201d she stated. \u201d But while you are agreeing to be the wife, which I became the housewife, I let go of all my businesses, I let my penthouse go. What was deep in me that my mother had instilled was an entrepreneurial spirit. Being a woman who can empower herself\u2026 And I forgot about that part.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo within that marriage, although I had agreed to be this cute little housewife, that burning desire to have something for myself it had to come out. And I just was growing\u2026 that just wasn\u2019t the marriage to grow in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Porsha added it wasn\u2019t Kordell\u2019s fault and it wasn\u2019t hers.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes a marriage<\/a> is not yours to grow in with that person,\u201d she elaborated. \u201cAnd that one just wasn\u2019t growable, so we both had to leave.\u201d<\/p>\nPorsha also touched on the first time she departed\u00a0RHOA\u00a0in 2021.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the record, I left Housewives for that break when I was around 40,\u201d she shared. \u201cI had planned for that financially, mentally, everything. I knew I was going to give myself that time to step away.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Kenya has been off the show since June 2024, Porsha remains a main cast member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"11 Credit: Instagram Real Housewives of Atlanta\u00a0star\u00a0Porsha Williams\u00a0sat down with\u00a0Carlos King\u00a0for a new tell-all interview.
