season 16 of real housewives of atlanta Derailed with gun threats, a controversial poster board, and a midseason cast shakeup we still haven’t fully accepted. fortunately, porsha williams Says lighter days are on the way with Season 17. It seems that this time everyone has kept their pistols and their poster boards at home.
RHOA cast member said it “probably could have gone there”
Season 16 was Porsha’s big return to Bravo, but it turned sour due to her divorce from Simon Guobadia and the breakdown of her friendship with Shamia Morton Mwangi. Keeping all this in mind, he told us weekly She said that she wanted a “clean slate” going into season 17.
Porsha explained, “I wanted to be open to new friendships… and make this season feel like a breath of fresh air.”
Porsha will form two new friendships in Season 17, while also healing her damaged relationship with Shamea. In a sneak peek at the premiere, Porsha was joined by Love & Hip Hop alum K. Michelle is shown being invited to a dinner party. Restaurateur Pinky Cole will also be joining in on the fun, and according to Porsha, they both bring “a lot of fun, positive energy.”
Porsha teased, “We definitely need to get back into the fun shadow of the Housewives and have a good time, and (K. Michelle) can do that. And Pinky is a business powerhouse — she comes up with TED Talks.”
Porsha added, “She’s one of those friends who is so encouraging.” “She’s big when it comes to energy and camaraderie.”
Naturally, a little shade comes with the territory on RHOA, and Porsha promised we’d see plenty of it. He said to expect some epic “read-down sessions” in Season 17, but rest assured, it won’t be toxic. No one was fired in the middle of filming, and we’re assuming we won’t hear about any lawsuits against Bravo after this season ends.
“It wasn’t a bleak season,” Porsha explained. “It probably could have gone there, but it didn’t. We all want to be friends, and we’ve grown up.”
