Porsha Williams and Shamea Morton’s Friendship Breakdown After RHOA Season 16: Details

I don’t know about you, but one thing I always loved was the great friendship Shamea Morton and Porsha Williams shared. To be honest, they reminded me of my childhood friend. For season after season, Shamea has been the Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s ride-or-die. When Porsha was going through her first divorce, her baby daddy drama, and all the way to her recent marital issues, Shamea was there. Sadly, it looks like their friendship took a hit after Shamea was given her own peach. So, where did it all go wrong? 

How did RHOA’s Shamea Morton and Porsha Williams first meet?

Shamea is officially a peach holder after years of being a friend of the group. With the Season 16 shake-up, it seemed like Shamea as a full-time housewife would be the perfect addition. The season premiere began with a very proud Shamea showing off her world. The mother of two paraded cameras around her extremely large home and shared a long yet funny story about how she met her husband, Gerald Mwangi. Shamea’s premiere included her throwing herself a lavish birthday party. And even though all the ladies showed up, Porsha was tardy for the party.

As stated on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Porsha and Shamea have been friends since childhood. The newest season even showcases a few throwback photos to when the mothers were just children on the playground. As friends on a Bravo series go, Porsha and Shamea were two of the best. Every scene they filmed together was entertaining, and it was often nice to see each of them stick up for one another in their times of need.

However, Season 16 is shining a bright light on their possible one-sided friendship. Porsha arrived right as Shamea had been gifted her Rolls-Royce Cullinan, which is valued at $430,000. It was clear that Shamea was peeved as she took to her confessional. The newbie noted that this was her time to shine in the spotlight, not Porsha’s. However, P explained that she wasn’t allowed to film at her home, and she had just been served with a cease and desist from Simon Guobadia, causing her to lose track of time. When the other ladies seemed to question her reason, she then presented the excuse that traffic was terrible. 

Shamea has been in and out of the group for a while. And she has formed a bond with many of the women, including Kandi Burruss and Kenya Moore. She was last seen attending Cynthia Bailey’s bachelorette party with the infamous Bolo. For years, Shamea has been seen as the side chick or as “Porsha’s friend.” But there is a lot more to the singer than fans know. She is a proud quadruple threat (host, singer, actor, dancer) and is ready to sass any of the ladies who step out of line.

Why are Shamea Morton and Porsha Williams on the outs after filming RHOA?

Just last week, Porsha took to her Instagram Live to confirm that her relationship with Shamea was not the same as it once was. During the Real Housewives of Atlanta trailer, the pair was filmed having a sit-down conversation about their troubles. Porsha has since taken to social media after a fan asked about comments made by Kandi. The Grammy Award winner noted that Shamea and Porsha were not on good terms but were rather acting cordially because they couldn’t give away the season. 

Porsha told fans, “I don’t know if Kandi said I didn’t like Shamea. I think what Kandi said was that she doesn’t believe we’re as cool as we used to be. And yes, that’s true. I mean when you come on the show and you have certain expectations and then things seem to turn on you without you knowing, you know that could change any relationship.” Porsha also talked about not supporting Shamea’s new single. She told fans, “So why didn’t I post Shamea’s song? Dang y’all. Good grief. Well, she didn’t send it to me to post. I guess Shamea sent it to everybody, but she didn’t send it to me. So I didn’t have it to post.” Whatever is going on, it looks like the friendship has sailed.
