Bravo is in hot water again after Porsha Williams made a controversial statement during a podcast released over the weekend
In it, she did not hesitate to call the Real Housewives of Atlanta program a toxic place and admitted that she felt completely exploited while participating in this show
I don't know what I was thinking when I agreed to come back. I vowed never to return to that toxic environment
I told myself that there would be a chance to heal, but all I got was stress and fakeness
I was manipulated and forced into scenes that I didn't want to film just to create drama for others to see
Those words immediately sparked controversy on social media
A clip from the podcast went viral at a dizzying speed on TikTok and X, leaving fans both shocked and angry
She just re-signed a salary contract from that very show and now she's turning around and calling it trash, a viewer commented
According to a source close to Bravo, shortly after the podcast was released, the network's senior leadership had a internal meeting and came to the decision to stop all live media activities related to Porsha
Specifically, she will not be allowed to participate in any live TV programs in the Bravo ecosystem, including online talkshow interviews and the upcoming BravoCon event
This is an unprecedented decision for a star who has just been welcomed back to the franchise
They expected Porsha to be the highlight of the next season, but now she is becoming a media threat
She called the show toxic, called the clips staged, and called the production team liars, a post-production team member shared
Not only Bravo, but the old cast also began to react
An anonymous former co-star revealed that she had heard Porsha complain about the show many times but did not expect her to speak publicly like that
She is no longer the cute, impulsive girl
She is playing a two-faced game and everyone can see it clearly
The incident became even more infuriating when many viewers began to dig up Porsha's contradictory statements in previous interviews
She once declared RHOA is my family, where I grew up, where I learned who I am
Just a few months later, she coldly turned around and called it toxic
To date, Porsha has not apologized
Instead, she posted a cryptic Instagram story Sometimes being real makes people uncomfortable
This statement angered fans even more because they thought she was challenging public opinion instead of taking responsibility
According to media experts, Bravo is facing a dilemma
They don't want to lose Porsha because she is still a media-attracting face, but they also can't ignore her publicly degrading their own product
Porsha will temporarily not appear on live shows
And if the drama continues to escalate, no one can rule out the possibility that Bravo will cut her role next season to protect the brand
When you return to a place that once swallowed you, no one expects you to be the one to burn it down with your own words
