Kenya Moore appeared to back Shamea Morton’s claim that longtime friend Porsha Williams did not want her joining The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
In a resurfaced video shared on X, Kenya recalled hearing that Morton had previously been approached about becoming a full-time Housewife. She also claimed Porsha seemed uncomfortable with the possibility of her appearing on the show.
“I never felt that Porsha was supportive of [Shamea] being on Housewives,” said Kenya. “They had asked Shamea to be on Housewives as a Housewife years ago.”
Kenya could not remember why Shamea had not accepted the earlier opportunity, but she recalled a recorded conversation in which Porsha allegedly questioned her friend’s motives.
“I remember Porsha saying something to the effect of, ‘Why are you doing this? Why are you over here? … Do you need the money that bad?’” Kenya said. “And I think Shamea was shocked.”
According to the former beauty queen, the exchange left her questioning whether the women shared a genuine friendship or “a relationship of convenience.”
“What I see is jealousy,” she continued. “What I see is somebody putting their foot on somebody’s neck and saying, ‘You stay down there. I want to be the queen of this.’”
Shamea made a similar claim during the current RHOA season, suggesting Porsha did not fully support her casting despite being friends for decades.
New episodes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta air Sundays on Bravo.
