The Real Housewives of Atlanta is no stranger to explosive drama, but fans may not have expected the fallout between longtime friends Porsha Williams and Shamea Morton to unravel so publicly—and so personally. As season 16 of RHOA unfolds, Porsha Williams has taken to social media to address a deeply personal slight involving her mother, Diane Williams, and she’s making it clear that some lines shouldn’t be crossed.
In a now-deleted Instagram Story, Porsha didn’t hold back after previewing an episode of the show in which Shamea discusses a falling out between their mothers. Reacting in real time, she posted: “Ima just say this. I’m watching [the] new episode @Shamea Morton.” What followed was a pointed warning that quickly escalated.
“Now don’t take it there, don’t imply SH* about Diane Williams,*” she wrote. “I’ve been keeping it cute/quiet and you can do and say what you want on me, but hear me when I say—WRONG ROAD!”
Porsha’s tone became even more intense as she continued: “Talking about ‘Well your mom thought my mom was a friend,’ knowing gotdamn well what she did to my mom was highly egregious! Don’t do it. Keep playing victim, and that BS. Don’t f** with my MOM!”*
The post, which went live over the weekend ahead of the episode’s air date, hints at deeper tensions behind the scenes. During the episode itself, Shamea revealed in a confessional that her mother and Diane Williams were once close, but acknowledged that they had a falling out—without offering specific details about what caused the rift. Her reluctance to elaborate has only added fuel to the speculation.
With emotions running high and friendships on the line, it looks like RHOA season 16 is delivering the raw, real, and personal stakes that fans tune in for. And if Porsha’s message is any indication, this is just the beginning.
