Back in early August, rumors began to circulate online that Porsha Williams is pregnant. The leak was supposed to have come from production sources. My Bravo sources told me at the time that Porsha had not told anyone she was pregnant and they had no reason to believe she was. A few days later at party thrown by Kandi for Todd’s 45th Porsha was said to have gotten in a physical altercation with another guest. The party was not filmed for RHOA but it was significant that Porsha was invited as it signaled that Kandi had once again forgiven Porsha for bad behavior from the previous season. Her turned up behavior seemed to indicated that she was not in fact pregnant.
As the rumors persisted, I checked with my Bravo source who said that Porsha has not told them she was pregnant. Nothing about Porsha being pregnant was mentioned on the recent cast trip to Tokyo as far as my sources know. The big news in Tokyo was about Tanya Sam. My Bravo source said as recently as a few days ago that no one at Bravo had been told. Remember, Bravo and the production company are two different levels of production. There was no observation made about whether or not she was drinking on the trip. If you have stock in Hennessy you might see a dip in your stock portfolio.
Today, when I opened up my laptop my source was updating me on the situation. According to the source they were allegedly first told she was six weeks pregnant, and later in the same day that she was eleven weeks pregnant. There seems to be some confusion surrounding the situation. Porsha kept posting hints on Instagram, but based on the information I had, I thought she was just seeking attention. Bravo found out yesterday ahead of the she gave an interview to People Magazine, just in time for the Friday print issue deadline.
Porsha told People that she was going for her first ultrasound on the same day of the People interview. Porsha had a miscarriage six years ago and had surgery for fibroids a couple years ago. The entire first half of the baby announcement is about her miscarriage and her fear of another miscarriage. Is that normal? Not the fear, of course that is normal, but it seemed like an odd lead off to a baby announcement to me.
Porsha went public about boyfriend Dennis McKinley in June. By the first week of July there were photos of the couple in a jewelry store in New York city where the paparazzi just happened to be on hand to ask about engagement rings.
Three weeks later at the end of July, at Dennis’ 37th birthday party, Porsha gave Dennis the good news. Dennis has since been coming up with baby names. He would like Napoleon for a boy. Porsha isn’t having that. And for his girl name he has selected Porsha Junior. He wan’t to call her PJ. Porsha seems to like this.
As I mentioned recently, Bravo is thrilled with all of the “life-changing drama” that happened in Tokyo. Shamea (who isn’t expected to be on this season much) also pregnant? Eva just had a baby? It’s going to be baby central. Also the RHOA trailer was ready to roll and now Bravo is trying to decide whether are not to edit this new information in. It sounds like it will probably have to wait until the midseason trailer.
The reason this post is taking so long is I am talking with my source who is “trying to put things together” after so many dramatic announcements for the RHOA over the past few days (to production).
While I am happy for Porsha and wish her all the happiness with Dennis and the pregnancy, there seems to be a lot of questions regarding this entire situation. She seems quite pregnant in her photos on People. That looks like more than eleven weeks to me. My source and I are quite confused about this entire situation. However, we’re gearing up to welcome Porsha Junior (will Junior be her middle name?) or baby Napoleon in Spring 2019 around the same time Sheree’s joggers come out! YAY!
In other RHOA news, the trailer will be out very, very soon and Shamari is said to be “adding the spice” in it. Tanya Sam still has not signed her latest contract offer…
There is a lot going on with RHOA production today. People seem a bit rattled. I don’t even know what it is all about yet. Story developing…
UPDATE: My source says that she denied being pregnant to Bravo when the rumors began because she was (and still is) super worried about having another miscarriage and didn’t want that on the show (again) if it happened. Information is still trickling in.
This is awesome news!! So happy for Porsha. Maybe I’m being dense, cuz I don’t understand the issue about porsha trying to keep the pregnancy story hidden for as long as possible.
Tamara are you doubting that she is pregnant or that it’s not Kenya that we are going to watch throughout her pregnancy?
I was wondering what the angle of this story was too. It seems as if she doesn’t believe she is pregnant or questioning the timeline.
I have suffered several miscarriages also because of fibroids and I would be scared as hell to tell anyone other than my husband. So I totally understand where she is coming from.
hey kimber
I should have updated my post – after reading Tamara’s updates – I understand the situation better.
Congratulations Porsha! ???
I’m far from a Porsha fan but I’m super happy for her and her partner.
So now that’s twice you’ve been wrong about what’s happening in Atlanta, Tamara. First you said Kenya was coming back, just renegotiating the terms of her contract. Then you said Porsha was definitely not pregnant. So, (thankfully) you were wrong on both counts. Congratulations Porsha and good riddance Kenya!
holy crap did you double down on your bitch meds?
Tracy why don’t you go find a good site with good sources. I’d suggest MTO and Radar Online for you. Bye now.
It’s much more fun to come here and read your venom. You called your readers dumb for believing Porsha was pregnant. The very readers who supply your livelihood. It’s satisfying to see you forced to admit you were wrong. Cheers!
There is a thing in ETHICAL journalism called RELIABLE sources. You may miss a scoop waiting on reliable sources, but the law will be on your side more often if you follow traditional, solid journalism tenets. Not to mention, PERSONAL INTEGRITY. Tamara has more of that than the other shite sites combined. Better to miss a scoop than have a negative impact on a person’s life for reporting untrue stuff.
It’s a fake for storylines soon she going to say she has a miscarriage
Thanks T.T for putting the pieces together. While am taking a break from RhoA this season but am always fascinated with this site. These RHOA ladies stories sound soo scripted and these ladies go through great length to up one another… sighs
Short update added.
and this is how your create my “addiction” – your sources are awesome! Thank you
Thanks Sam. My sources not super happy today. They are furiously trying to update the trailer that they JUST FINISHED and had ready to go back a week ago when Porsha “was NOT pregnant.”
whoa! can’t wait to see the trailer!
Yay! Congrats Porsha!
Wonder if Andy will ask her if she and Dennis have a “baby-nup” at the reunion?
So why did she make the Tokyo trip if she was worried about a misscarrage? Didn’t she have blood clot issues that prevented her from going on another trip a few seasons ago?
The blood clot thing was Nene she is suddenly able to take those incredibly long flights now though and did got to Tokyo.
But there are a lot of questions about Porsha and her miscarriage concerns like getting physical with someone at Kandi’s party.
I thought porsha couldn’t fly to shame wedding in Africa on coach, because of blood clots.? But she flew to Tokyo..ok?
Oh you are right, I remember that now. I didn’t recall it being blood clots but Porsha does have some weird health thing that caused her to pass out in a mall or something… let me look for it….
She was in and out of the hospital for unknown issues that caused her to gasp for breath. It didn’t make much sense then. http://tamaratattles.com/2016/08/08/porsha-williams-hospitalized/
I don’t recall any blood clot stuff, but I do remember her saying she had to fly first on a flight as long as one to Kenya because of some medical thing. I can’t take more than seven hours in coach myself as a big and tall girl with the continued dwindling space in the back of the plane these days. But Porsha should fit in coach just fine.
Yes she mentioned some medical condition but flew to Tokyo.. longer plane ride than Africa. Lol
I think she address the reason why she couldn’t travel in one of last season episode. I think it was the bridal shower. Kandi and Carmen were laughing at all the excuses she always has
How do y’all remember all of this? I can’t remember what I recapped last night!
http://tamaratattles.com/2017/11/12/real-housewives-of-atlanta-say-yes-to-distress/
Her is the relevant portion.,,
At Shamea’s bridal shower, when Porsha and her sister arrive and sit at the table with Kandi and Sheree. Kandi gets up and walks off. Porsha tells Sheree that she can’t fly coach to Kenya because she has vasovagal syncope. Sheree doesn’t believe her. I do believe her because vasovagal syncope is when your blood pressure drops really fast and you faint. It has happened to Porsha before at a mall. However, to my knowledge is has nothing to do with sitting for long periods of time. It’s more like when people are standing at attention for long periods of time. So she’s telling the truth about having it, but the long flight in coach would probably not trigger it.
I think the reason she had to announce so early is because she is on tv daily with Dish Nation. And i have noticed the last few episodes she was covered up way more than usual. If she wasnt on DN she probably woukd have waited to announce. JMO
Just wanted to comment on the photo of the two of them: Porsha doesn’t so much have a smile as a grimace.
Am happy for Porsha. I like her a lot on Dish Nation. She is a natural on that show. I do hope she continues to work on herself and that anger management problem that she has though.
She is GREAT on Dish Nation. If that is the real her, we need that on RHOA.
Poor production! How frustrating to be scrambling like that. I had a baby at 37. The doctor is really scare you when you are that old and constantly call you a mother of advanced maternal age. With this being Porsha’s first, I can understand why she would be so nervous.
I had my first baby earlier this year right before I turned 37 and am now pregnant with my second (early on). I had to go see a high risk Doc until I hit my 3rd trimester but I am surprised she announced so quickly. Announcing before your first sonogram? I haven’t said a peep at work until I get confirmation. I wish her the best it is always frightening when you can’t enjoy your pregnancy because you’re so worried if you will carry to term.
There were rumors back during Todd’s birthday and you could tell in photos back then! Meaning she put her baby at risk by fighting that night.
That sounds like dumb-ass Porsha. SMH
I was wondering what the angle of this story was too. It seems as if she doesn’t believe she is pregnant or questioning the timeline.
I have suffered several miscarriages also because of fibroids and I would be scared as hell to tell anyone other than my husband. So I totally understand where she is coming from.
Sorry if I’m a dick but I don’t care about any pregnancies except the one we are missing….
Right there with you. I couldn’t care less about anything Porsha, Nene or Eva-related. But I love this site nevertheless.
If the baby is a boy, i vote for Hosea to honor Porsha’s grandfather. His middle name could be Choo-Choo to honor Porsha’s unbelievable ignorance of the Underground Railroad, wondering where the train turned around.
