Lisa Barlow and Porsha Williams may come from two very different Real Housewives franchises, but the ladies have developed a genuine friendship after spending time together filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star and The Real Housewives of Atlanta fan favorite recently sat down with Glamour alongside their fellow Housewives for a fun segment where the women were asked to compliment one another.
And when it came time for Lisa and Porsha to share what they admired about each other, both had some incredibly sweet things to say.
Lisa started by praising Porsha for her confidence, honesty and ability to constantly evolve while remaining true to herself.
“I love that you’re creative, super honest, always reinventing yourself and unapologetically you, which is so amazing,” Lisa told Porsha.
She added, “And you’re just a cool girl.”
Porsha was equally complimentary, revealing that she felt an immediate connection with Lisa when they first met.
“You are so lovable, instantly lovable, very warm,” Porsha told Lisa. “One of the most confident people I’ve met.”
Porsha continued by emphasizing how genuine she found Lisa to be, something that stood out to her from their very first interaction.
“Very genuine, like very genuine,” Porsha said. “When I first met you, I feel like you told me your whole story, but I also feel like I knew you before.”
According to Porsha, she immediately had a feeling that the two would become friends.
“I knew this was going to be an instant friendship,” she explained. “And it was true.”
Their connection is especially interesting considering the different dynamics viewers have seen from both women on their respective Housewives franchises.
Lisa has spent years navigating complicated friendships and shifting alliances on RHOSLC, where her confidence and outspoken personality frequently become topics of conversation among her castmates.
Porsha, meanwhile, has experienced her own share of friendship drama on RHOA and has never been afraid to speak her mind.
But it appears those strong personalities are exactly what helped the women connect.
The friendship developed as the Housewives came together for Ultimate Girls Trip, which brought women from different franchises into the same group and allowed them to form relationships outside their usual casts.
Porsha has also spoken enthusiastically about the experience, recently admitting she had such a good time filming that she did not want the trip to end.
She even described the experience at Dorinda Medley’s Bluestone Manor as feeling like several Housewives reunions happening at once, with different groups of women having their own conversations and confrontations throughout the house.
Despite all the drama that can come with bringing Housewives together, Lisa and Porsha’s exchange offered a sweeter look at the friendships that can come out of the experience.
