Nene Leakes claims Porsha Williams withdrew from her on the Mike Epps show because she wasn’t supportive after Williams filed for divorce from Simon Guobadia

Former reality star Nene Leakes claims her former Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star Porsha Williams refused to collaborate on the comedy series.

The two secured guest spots on “The Upshaws,” but Williams apparently didn’t wish to work with her. Leakes claims that this decision was made because Porsha felt that her “big sister” showed no concern for her well-being during the recent breakdown of her marriage. It’s been weeks since Williams filed for divorce from her husband of just about 15 months, Simon Guobadia.

The Nigerian businessman, who can also be charged with fraud and falsifying immigration documents, can also be close friends with Leake’s boyfriend of three years, African entrepreneur and menswear designer Nyonisela Sioh. Two hang around most recently last week.

Leakes said she thought they were just having a public fight and it will all be over, but that wasn’t a reason to depart the job, resulting in speculation that she and Williams were on par.

The widowed influencer, who lost her husband Gregg to cancer in 2021, took to social media to specific her frustration with the whole situation. What’s more, she felt hot for host Dish Nash’s failure to contemplate the effect it could have on her as a black woman if she was labeled as difficult to work with in Hollywood.

In a series of videos, Leakes detailed what happened, from soups to nuts.

She said her manager contacted her about appearing on Michael Epps’ Netflix comedy series and that the episode was directed by former “RHOA” forged member and acting legend Kim Fields. According to Leakes, she was excited and couldn’t wait to get to work.

The 56-year-old was told she can be playing alongside Williams, which made her much more excited.

“We always have a good laugh when we see each other,” Leakes said of her friend. “So I thought, ‘OK, so me and Porsha are going to kill this part.'”

When she arrived on set, wearing her wardrobe, the showrunner told her to undergo scenes and alter her outfit because Williams was wearing an analogous color. Leakes says in the recording that she noticed during rehearsal that she never saw Williams after lunch or after they finished performing.

“When I got to the hotel, the production called me and asked if I was having any problems with any of the Housewives because they were going to recast the cast,” Leakes recalled.

Cynthia Bailey was ultimately hired to play the role Porsha had shied away from, but the fun of filming didn’t erase how furious Leakes was with her “little sister” when she heard why she left the show.

An insider told her Williams had an issue with her.

“To hear that Porsha went to the production company and said she didn’t want to work with me because we had a lot of problems in the past (which upset me),” she said. “Remember, I have not been a housewife for over 4 and a half years. Besides… When you call a black woman offended… difficult… it is a death trap… in the industry.

Leakes added: “We don’t have any issues we can’t work on together.”

We are professionals, she added. “We come on set and work together. (If) you had to decide on a housewife (with) who you had an issue with, it definitely would not be me. That can be with Kenya. That can be with Kandi. These were your essential problems. We had some minor issues. We’re on a reality show, so in fact we’ll have some issues, but we have not had anything we couldn’t work together on.

One of the issues that got here to light in March 2019 was a series of nasty text messages allegedly sent by Leakes, which Williams shared on Instagram. She claimed to have received the text messages six days after her daughter Pilar was born.

“Fat shaming new mom, shame on you,” she wrote in her hashtags under the post with “Unsupportive bird with no edge. Is this your Queen?”

Messages show that Leakes referred to her friend as a “lying… fat, hungry son of a bitch” after Williams claimed that Leakes “choked, scratched herself while being one of the producers during a closet scene in her house in Season 11.”

She claimed the man needed to go to hospital, although video footage shows Leakes dragging the man out of the closet by his shirt after she firmly asked them to remain outside.

Kandi Burruss, who was also in attendance, recalled a person who kept his hands up and didn’t resist, but by some means “knocked out his tooth” during the reunion.

Williams claimed she only shared the text message Leakes was talking about on Instagram Live. The messages also show Leakes bragging about “securing the bags” and claiming to be the “HBIC she (Porsha) wants to be!” They each continued to comment on one another’s “damaged” or “boxy” bodies and “extremely small baby ankles.”

In her last text with Leakes, she wrote: “Try going on a food plan! You know, it’s something you have never been good at.

In 2021, when Leakes called for a boycott of Bravo, Williams didn’t side with her, and the older sister took to X to share a post about the “Porsha’s Family Matters” star.

“They’re afraid they’ll lose their paychecks, but you can’t let them get away with discrimination, retaliation, blacklisting and unequal pay! There is strength in numbers. I will start calling EVERYONE TO LEAVE” – read the post.

The irregular enemies had many public arguments, but they managed to resolve them with a phone call, a gathering, or sometimes only a text message.

Leakes claims that when she contacted her via text message, Williams told her that the reason he didn’t wish to work with her was because she hadn’t checked on her after the divorce news.

“Are you serious? You and your husband were just happy and smiling in Dubai,” the influencer replied, referring to the proven fact that Williams and Guobadia were abroad with the couple for just a few days before she filed for divorce on February 23.

“I believed you two had a fight and perhaps you’d get back together. I do not find out about your personal matters. I don’t desire to be nosy,” Leakes added.

Fans got in on the motion comments about their friendship, problems and leaks to maintain every thing real.

“That’s what happens to people who have problems with you and you don’t know it,” one person said.

Another wrote, “Say what you want about Nene, she always had Porsha back, even if Porsha was wrong, this is such a mess. A perfect example of when you think you’re cool all the time with people who don’t really like you and are stabbing you behind your back. Sad.”

Several people have suggested that this is an element of Williams’ “RHOA” season 16 return plot after leaving the show in 2021. One person sent“Why is this more interesting than the last 3 seasons of Atlanta.”

“See… Nene was minding her own business and then they poked the bear… better leave Nene alone,” one other comment read.

One comment called Williams “sneaky” and referenced her approach to leaving her husband.

User That’s it… and professionals get to share the highlight. Porsha will not be a star. She is brave. Be vivid!”

Porsha has not responded to Nene’s accusations.
