Porsha speaks out for the first time since...
From People
It’s been 30 years since that iconic scene, but for The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Porsha Williams, its message of rage and resilience couldn’t be more relevant. As she posed for People’s re-creation of that moment and more memorable images from the film on May 16 in her hometown of Atlanta, she was processing her own feelings of betrayal and loss in real time.
"I didn't expect today to be emotional," she says on-set. "But the moment I sat down at that vanity and started brushing my hair, just like Angela in the movie . . . it hit me: I've prettied up the ugly in my life too, when it wasn't so pretty. And I'm done doing that."
She means it. Just weeks after the shoot, following an intense legal battle, Williams's divorce from Simon Guobadia was finalized on June 11 by a Georgia judge. Guobadia, 61, appeared on Zoom from his native Nigeria, where he was deported to from the U.S. because of immigration violations, including bank and credit card fraud.
"You go through different stages," says Williams, 44, who returned to the Bravo show this season after a three-year hiatus. "You have that anger. You have the moment where you have to fight for your life in a court situation. And then, toward the end, you have the clarity where you realize you are still blessed. Your family is by our side, your child is protected; there's a whole new life that you can start."Read the full piece here
