Porsha Williams' poolside remarks about Angela Oakley and husband Charles Oakley landed her in hot water on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 — but there's even more to the story that you didn't see.
Since footage from the raucous late-night Nashville kiki — which also included Brit Eady, Kelli Ferrell, and Shamea Morton — was minimal, the ladies filled in the blanks, both in Episode 9 and on The Real Housewives of Atlanta After Show video above.
Though birthday girl Porsha blamed alcohol for her fuzzy memory, Angela insisted she overheard her telling the other women she "should f–k Charles," which Kelli later confirmed.
"Five seconds later, my ass was down them stairs," Angela said in the above clip. "They thought they saw a ghost. … I just lost it."
In addition to what Porsha said about Charles, RHOA newbie Angela, who had been asleep in her room upstairs, also heard the woman discussing her husband allegedly cheating. What's more, she said her castmates were also poking fun at the way she speaks and calling her names like "Big Bird." As far as Angela was concerned, her heated reaction was less about Charles and more about Porsha and the others "disrespecting" her.
"What further pissed me off is that none of them women checked [Porsha]," Angela added on the RHOA After Show. "If you see your friend saying something vile, and you're married, [and] you can look at her and laugh and kiki with her, I lost respect for all of them right there. I've never seen a woman control other women like that. … It was like an audition, and it was scary."
Why Porsha Williams was "talking s—t" about Angela and Charles Oakley
While Shamea chalked up her silence (and laughter) to not wanting to fight someone else's battle, Brit shrugged off Angela's distress, calling her "a casualty of war that night." Elsewhere on the After Show, Porsha explained why Angela had her so pressed in the first place.
"Honestly, we were having a kiki about her because she gave me such a hard time the whole trip," Porsha said, referencing how Angela invited frenemy Drew Sidora on the getaway and also sparred with her at dinner earlier that night. "So, everybody was like, 'Yeah, what's up her ass?' And then, ya know, we just started talking s--t."
Despite Porsha previously claiming to have "tea" on Charles, she insisted that her Nashville remarks were unserious. "I would never f–k anybody's husband, OK?" she insisted to Cynthia Bailey in the May 4 RHOA episode. "I swear I don't know anything about this woman's husband. And I don't have the [intention of] repeating anything that's recently come [to me]."
How Charles Oakley reacted to Porsha Williams saying she "should f–k" him
Back in the ATL, Angela debriefed a largely unbothered Charles on what went down in Nashville, first telling him how the women claimed he was "messing with a girl in New York," to which he responded, "Porsha don't know me. … It don't matter."

As for Porsha claiming she "could f–k" him, as Angela relayed to him, the former NBA star simply replied, "Wow. No, she can't," and asked his wife if she believed her.
When Angela announced she was "about to go to war," Charles encouraged her to do so, adding, "I want a ticket for this front-row seat. Show them West Side Chicago."
Where Porsha Williams and Angela Oakley stand now
Though Porsha and Angela eventually hugged it out at Cynthia's Juneteenth "Bailey-que" after they both apologized, the former's mea culpa may not have been entirely sincere.
"It was a stupid comment. I shouldn't have made it — or maybe I should’ve," Porsha told producers in an Episode 9 confessional. "I was kiki-ing with my friends. I definitely didn't know that Dumbo was up there with her big ole ears listening to everything."
Giving an eyeroll, she sarcastically added, "But since she was, I'm sorry. That was inappropriate for me to be having that much fun with my friends, Angela."

Is Angela Oakley still friends with the RHOA cast?
After calling Brit and Shamea "Porsha’s puppets," Angela only made progress with one of them at Cynthia's Bailey-que. Following an intense back-and-forth with Brit, she and Shamea sat down to hash out their issues privately. Though they still didn't entirely see eye to eye, they were at least able to find some peace.
"Shamea said some things that I didn't agree with, and she has to respect my not wanting to be bothered with that s--t," Angela noted in a confessional.
Meanwhile, Shamea added in a separate Episode 9 interview, "I don't know why Angela's holding my feet so close to the fire. She's making S'mores with my feet at this point. I'm sorry, Angela, I like you. I wanna love you. Can you just find it in your heart to just accept my apology? I am sorry. Exclamation marks."
