As the wife of a celebrity like NBA legend Charles Oakley, The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 newbie Angela Oakley admitted her "DMs are flooded" with rumors, and so there's "not a lot that can rock the boat." Even so, she called a foul on the play after Porsha Williams claimed to have "tea" on Charles.
"I think a lot of people feel like my husband is my soft spot, so in order to crack the egg, if you will, they want to throw a dagger at our marriage or whatever," Angela explained during RHOA Season 16, Episode 5. "Now, you can speculate all the hell you want to, but you better not say you know somethin' about my husband."
When she finally filled in Charles about Porsha's claim later in the episode, he had a bone to pick. "She don't even know me," Charles said. "She's barking up the wrong tree. She better hit her brakes a couple times."
Angela asked her husband to let her "handle all this," though, to which he shot back, "You should've handled it then, when she said it."
"I did. And she said it was a joke," Angela replied.
As the retired pro baller responded, "Don't joke with me."
Agreeing, his wife chimed in, "We don't play like that."
In a confessional, though, Angela claimed, "Charles doesn't give a s--t about the rumors. He's just like I don't give a f--k about what nobody got to say about me."
What did Porsha Williams say about Charles Oakley?
Porsha made the comment in question during Angela’s bank dinner on Episode 4 when the hostess suggested that the women anonymously write down a question for someone in the group on a deposit slip. "Angela, what is a secret that you wouldn't want the group to know?" Porsha read from a piece of paper, before asking, "Have you ever had a threesome?"
After Angela claimed she was an "open book," and never had a threesome, nor does she "bring anyone to [her] bedroom," Porsha fired back, "I did hear your husband was spicy."
"He can be," Angela admitted, prompting her RHOA castmate to further claim, "I heard somethin' about Charles."
Despite Angela pressing her to reveal what she'd heard about her husband, Porsha played coy and simply said, "No, we'll wait."
Though she played it cool in the moment, in a confessional, Angela fumed, "Porsha doesn't even want to speak about her own marriage and her own relationship. Why would you mention my husband? Like, don't even say Charles' name..."
Details on Angela Oakley and Charles Oakley's marriage
Back on the second episode of RHOA Season 16, the mother of four opened up more about her relationship with Charles, whom she first met at a party in Chicago. "We exchanged numbers and then I didn't hear from that man for another ten years when we became neighbors in the same condominium," Angela explained. "I feel like our relationship was destined to happen."
They later married in 2016, and have four kids, between the two of them. While Angela is mom to Ahmauri and Avan from previous relationships, Charles is dad to Charlie Jr., and they share one child, Arleigh, together.
"The secret for loving a man like Charles is just letting him be who he is," Angela shared in an interview during the March 26 episode. "Charles and I sometimes [can] get in our own heads and he won't hear me, I won't hear him. And through therapy I realized I wanted him to change. Then I realized that I have flaws too."
