On Monday, June 1 Porsha Williams and Dennis McKinley were part of a peaceful protest in Atlanta during the hours before the curfew. For no apparent reason, their group was tear gassed with pepper spray and had flash bombs thrown at them. Porsha was about to start a IG recording of the protest when the group was suddenly they were gassed. Porsha left her phone on for the full eight minutes. Somehow, Dennis managed to lose his phone in the melée. How will his other girlfriends call him now?
All of the people in her group were boxed in and surrounded by cops with no way to leave. She said she was going to leave her phone running because she was feeling very unsafe with no way out. Also it looks like she was wearing an orthopedic boot on one of her legs. We can hear Porsha say, “Do y’all see this? We in Atlanta, 7:45, the curfew is not until 9:00, we out here peacefully protesting and they tear gassed us for no reason at all. For absolutely no reason at all. Nobody did anything.”
I have to give Porsha Williams a LOT of respect. The girl is out there making a difference. She is voting. She is encouraging every to vote (we had a primary). While others are posting selfies and other vain things, Porsha Williams is on this situation. She’s won me over.
I love it! This is awesome! Go Porsha!
Thank you Porsha, you are beautiful inside and out..
Much respect to Porsha
Porches send me that Louis Vuittion mash Love you and Dennis for what you stand for l
I really feel for Porsha, Dennis, and all the other activists there who were attacked like that. And yes, I commend Porsha for matching her words with real deeds. These may be incredibly frightening times, but we can’t afford to be silent and let injustice prevail.
Finally. Doing something that would make her grandpa proud! Team Porsha — for now.
She doesn’t need you on her team. Just give her respect for making a difference.
Kim…there is freedom of speech..
That’s what I was doing, Duh! There is power in teams, support, group prayers, etc. Many of us appreciate that. GDIA🔥!
Ah!! The GDIAF comeback complete with emoji. Someone has pissed off Nanette and that is VERY hard to do. #TeamNanette
Full on Emoji.
What can I say as the woman who had a full on paddy over GDIAF when I was feeling low except…Whoop, Whoop, #TeamNanette
I appreciate you.
GDIAF used to be as common as cuntsatchel around here. Then the wildfires came and it seemed uncomfortable to use for a while. And then the entire world went topsy turvy and everyone is irritable and GDIAF is making a resurgence.
This is today’s moment in etymological history of Tamara Tattles.
And that was Kim’s first comment!
Thanks Kim for saying that. That was a backhanded compliment! I’m proud of Porsha! Big ups!
I have a new found respect for her and Dennis. The fact that the police almost everywhere are acting like that when the protests and marches are because out of control cops killed a black man is just insane.
Definitely have respect for Porsha! It’s hard to believe this is the same person who was once married to Cordell asking him permission for everything she did. I like this grown ass woman so much better.
I love the woman/person she has become. I’m so proud of her.
Good for Porsha!! I abhor the scenes of peaceful protestors being tear gassed, shot with rubber bullets, scared with flash bangs, even getting tased and beaten with those batik things. Absolutely wrong in every way. I am so proud of her and Dennis for doing the real work to incite change in their community and inspiring others to do the same.
Baton, damn spell check, sorry
I absolutely Love Miss Porsha Williams and am so sorry for what she have to endure during this incident… This nation deserves better ,if I don’t go out there is because my health doesn’t permit me to … but my prayers and Love is with everyone that’s fighting for justice in this Nation of God…God bless everyone out there….
#TeamPorsha
Has anyone happened to see the utter shit that Kelly Jelly-Bean Bensimon is posting on IG? That woman has fully lost the plot and whenever someone calls her out, she doubles down and tells them to start working at a soup kitchen!!
Kelly posted a picture of a crowd stopping traffic in the Hamptons, but it was actually I-95 in New Haven, CT. The pic was from a section of 95 where they have amazing food trucks and nothing like that exists in the Hamptons. She’s really lost it.
She thought it was fine that she stopping, or slowing, traffic by running on the streets of Manhattan. Selfish, privileged bitch! I never liked her.
To the Georgia readers, we haven’t had our primary yet. It’s June 9th. There’s still time to vote!
Tamara, your comment about Dennis’s phone made me chuckle out loud. Thanks, I needed that.
Good for her.
Just contemplating life without Taco Bell, Morton’s, Panera. And more.
I’ve researched who’s donated to the re-election.
It’s cute how they all have blacked out banners on their social media, while they give money to the man who teargassed peaceful protestors expressing the same.
T, thinking you can borrow a modern device, Put on one of your Santa Lucia outfits, sit by your bathtub with a flower in your hair and a drink in your hand.
I’ll put on one of my Hawaii sarongs and do same.
Zoom
We will call it drinks by the pool.
God I miss drinks by the pool. And I had some sort of a deal with like a free $700 food and drink tab. Those were the days.
Oh damn Panera’s too?! Another place that will not get my business. Thanks for the info.
Wait, NO MORE TACO BELL? Actually I rarely eat fast food. I got tired of my own cooking recently so went through the drive through and ordered like I was ordering groceries. The put everything on top of my Mexican pizza it was all a soft squished mess. Whenever I decide to allow myself fast food, I have such high hopes and it’s never as good as I thought. It’s like when who quit smoking and then have a cigarette and it’s disgusting.
I’m going to need a list of what we are boycotting. I presume Chic Fil A is a no as well.
HOW will Katie Maloney EVER SURVIVE without Taco Bell?
I will admit that I most often run for the border on the RARE OCCASION I eat junk food. The second place I RARELY go is Panera. And, we have a place called The Habit that is a small chain that originated in Santa Barbara that has really good burgers (and tempura string beans) for cheaper than fast junk food chains. That is the third place we RARELY go to splurge — it’s easy to do keto there. The corporation that owns Taco Bell recently bought it. THE F’ING trifecta of “not now.”
There is a place where I used to like to buy a 600 calorie Turkey sammich. It’s one of those fancy places like Panera… but I think it might be something else. I also enjoy their 800 calorie large sweet tea. I mean I’ve only ever been there like five times in my life. But I am hoping it is not Panera. It might be, Is there another place sort of like Panera? Because now I suddenly want one of those expensive turkey bacon sandwiches. I used to order extra chipolte mayo… because FATASS. and it came with chips or some other option. AND you get a pickle slice.
Y’all are making me want to eat bad things. I think I am going to go to Publix tomorrow. I am out of wine again and Wine dot com is so much more expensive than Publix. I also need to deposit my government welfare check. I’d much have preferred they just took it off my taxes. I’ve lost my tax form and now have to set up the new laptop to work with the fucking printer and start over. I do have my Schedule Cs though, so that is the hardest part I think. Maybe. I just plan to do my best and send a check. Most years they send me a check for like $12.50 for over payment or this year a bill for almost $3,000. So if they know to the penny what I owe, WHY CAN’T THEY JUST SEND ME A FUCKING BILL? I also need to pay quarterly taxes but I don’t know what they are until I complete the taxes. And now I am behind and I hate being behind. ‘
Sorry Rambling. It’s been a tense day with Banjo but he eventually ate and is sleeping soundly in his crate. Oh he even ate the dog food underneath the rice. He was just being a food snob. lol.
Good for Porsha! She’s been very active and vocal on social media as well. It’s refreshing to see a housewife using their platform for good.
Porsha has certainly grown up and become a powerful woman right before our eyes.
For real…gone are the days her husband was controlling every part of her life! Too bad she did not remember that part of her past when she was making fun of of Kenya Moore dealing with her shitty husband!
She’s doing her part in this protest while Nene thought this would be the perfect time to announce that she & Greg have an open marriage. Says something about who they are deep down inside.
The good news is that now ALL FOUR OFFICERS have been charged in the murder of George Floyd. The other three officers were charged with Aiding and Abetting 2nd degree murder. In addition, the main murderer’s charges were elevated from Murder in the 3rd degree to Murder in the 2nd degree.
I am not sure the elevation of the charges against the main murder is a good thing. I am waiting for someone on the news to explain if the sentencing options are longer for second degree. If there is not a significant increase, say…to life in prison. Then this is actually a bad thing. It sets the bar higher for proving the case with no substantial change in the time served. We shall see.
I was just watching Lester Holt and he said the sentence went from a possible 35 years to 40. Also the other three officers also face a 40 year sentence. Out AG Keith Ellison said basically said it’s going to be an uphill battle to get them convicted.
It would be awful if they don’t get convicted considering we all watched them murder Mr. Floyd. I’m guessing they may try to strike plea bargains.
There was plenty of time to think about the finality of the act without compassion for a fellow human being, nevermind stoic interference as they stood there and let it happen. Actions of lack there of speak louder than words. No one listened to our fellow american ‘s plea for air makes it difficult to entertain a plea deal for those in position to have changed the outcome. I will not stand for the national anthem of discrimination written by a dictator full of tweets and fury. It breaks my heart to be so ashamed of being american, I wasn’t raised to hate.
All four of them are murderers. They all made conscious choice to NOT save a man’s life who was pleading for his breathes. He shouldn’t have had to beg for help to breath. He shouldn’t have had to know he was dying in this way wanting his Mother.
All 4 of these “police officers” are guilty of murder. The other 3 that didn’t step in to protect and save? Seems like should be 1st degree murder to me.
I just saw a protester sign sign that said, “All the mothers were summoned when George called for his mama.” /sobs.
I so Agree with you. Unfortunately as a veteran of the Army I am thoroughly ashamed I served for this country??? Prayers for us all.
Neither was I and I raised my two YOUNG BLACK MENS to not hate as well…..and on top of that they both date WHITE BEAUTIFUL young ladies and I have a GORGEOUS MIX BABY GIRL from one of them and I LOVE LOVE BOTH OF THOSE”WHITE” FEMALES!!!!! I HATE what this world has become!!!!!!😠😤😠😤😠😤😠 But all I can do is pray for those kinds🙏🙏🙏🙏 SMDH🤔🤔🤔
Well either you misheard, mistyped, or Lester Holt is high because Murder 3 had a max of 25 years. After that whole long press conference, why didn’t anyone ask the important question. HAVE THE OTHER THREE BEEN ARRESTED AND TAKEN INTO CUSTODY?
Okay, I just looked and Murder 2 has a max of 40. Do we know how old the murderer is?
Yeah sorry I meant 25 years. I think Derek Chauvin is 44 years old, so young enough that he will probably outlive any sentence that’s given to him.
That’s if he makes it out alive. If ANY of them make it out alive. Likely, there will be room for a phone booth AND Shelly Winters in their buttholes before long. (I stole that from Wambaugh’s “Black Marble.”
PC is not a fun place to be in prison. If “they” can get to Felix Mitchell and Jeffrey Epstein (opposites) in federal prison, “they” can get to anyone.
True!
The three cops have not yet been arrested but it is ongoing now. ALL CHARGES in MN are bailable charges. But the MN Atty General thinks they probably won’t be able to make bail. I wonder what the bail is on the murderer. Maybe Chrissy Teagen can bail him out. (Bad joke. It’s from a Twitter feud I was in).
I heard that bail is a million dollars for each of the four ex-cops.
Porsha and Dennis are offering to bail out ATL protesters. They have bail money and lawyers on standby. All they need to do is DM Dennis at @workwincelebrate. Porsha is really dedicated to the cause.
If a cop were a racist asshole, I would think they would LAY LOW right now. The six cops who pulled two college students out of their car and tased them … WTF? It makes me wonder what they do when they are not under a microscope! When people are not recording them on cell phones.
Good for Porsha. It’s sad that peaceful protests have to result in this type of police response. I don’t care for her on RHOA but I respect her for standing up for the cause.
My son and I marched here in Houston yesterday. It was very peaceful. While marchers were predominately black, people of other races (white mostly) were there with bottled water, snacks, and face masks to help support the cause. That touched my heart that people took to time to help however they could. There were a few people (protesters) complaining about petty things that made no difference in the bigger scheme of things and served no purpose. I quickly moved away from them. I would not allow my vibe to be ruined.
I want to march. Please, anyone who can march for me. I can’t take the risk of being exposed to Covid19 and then walk back into work.
If you march for me? I am peaceful. I will leave at curfew. I honestly would prefer to lay face down, hands cuffed behind my back asking for my mother and the ability to breath.
The “officer”who literally killed Mr. Floyd, murder with intent. He heard George beg for help and without hesitation stayed on his neck. The 3 other “officers” didn’t bat an eyelash, stood by and supported the murder of a restrained suspect who was begging for help. They ALL need to be charged with murder with intent. I think they all thought they could “get away” with their force because THEY CAN!
I know not every cop is a bad cop but 4 in one group, such a petty charge and this was the outcome? THERE IS A PROBLEM!
I can’t march either. As an IHSS caregiver, I can’t risk getting, then giving, Covid-19 to anyone else. We can protest with our wallets. Green seems to be the only language the asshole cockwomblers understand.
It’s refreshing to see religious leaders AND military leaders critique Trump’s Bible-holding (sometimes upside down) photo op. Does anyone else think he is going hard on blaming the Chinese for covering up the dangers of the Covid-19 outbreak as a way to weasel out of the huge debt we owe China —TRILLIONS borrowed to fund the wars in the Mid-East? Or am I just stoned or stupid or “Aaron-ing” about that?
15 thousand people in the UK marched for you Kipper and many more will follow. I cannot remember who said” This is not a moment” ,,,”This is a movement ” I believe they are correct.
I am still drinking and having typing problems,,,,You & Kipper
This just made me cry! Emotional day over here. Thank you for your update!
Wasn’t that the Pussyhat statement?
Yes it was however due to the drink I got my Irish/English back to front.
We want to create a movement..not a moment.
Thanks Nanette for helping my little green brain cells.
Luv you two!
That was only a guess. Jay and Krista may have been recycling it from another source. Maybe My Favorite Murder! (Georgia and Karen.)
Okay apologizes in advance, I know people hate the “I don’t see race” thing, but it’s actually a real thing for me, I have a weird facial recognition thing. It’s hard for me to identify races sometimes. So be kind. My question is about the four cops. Is it two white guys, and Asian guy and a black guy? I honestly can’t tell. I think one of the guys looks like a lightskinned black guy and one guy looks Asian to me or … perhaps he has some sort of development delay/ Special needs thing? I’m mostly freaked out because I think one of them might be black. But if he were wouldn’t that be mentioned on the news and I haven’t seen that.
I think it’s two white guys and two Asian guys.
So I braved a trip to the Publix for the essentials today….you know, wine, beer, cigarettes, ice cream a cantaloupe and forty dollars worth kombucha, God I have missed kombucha. It was my first trip out in God knows how long. I still haven’t put everything away yet because it wore me slap out. But the grocery store went as well as can be expected except for the sneezing teenager with no mask. And to two women behind me on line with no masks who refused to social distance.
The really bad thing was I was listening to conservative talk radio on the way home. I was curious as to what they would be talking about today with the George Floyd memorial happening and the protests. IT WAS DISGUSTING. They were spouting probably fake stats like a police is 18 times more likely to be killed by a black man that the the black man is likely to be killed by a cop. Also today there was a preliminary hearing for the Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man who was killed for jogging in south Georgia. The guy who was also arrested for videoing the event and not rendering aid stated that 911 was not called until after they killed Ahmaud. And once he was dead they called him the N word.
Also, there was a protest today out in Gwinnett county where Nene and Porsha lived and a guy in a truck with a giant MAGA flag showed up to taunt the protesters and got arrested. The talk show host (not really sure who it was but I think at this time of day it’s the guy who is also a fucking pastor. Were saying the most vile things. Today of all days is not the day be racist, tone deaf assholes….and yet….they were.
Also, Lawn Kid continues to piss me the fuck off. He keeps getting jobs with no way to get there and expecting me to be his chauffeur. For one thing I am not getting in a car with ANYONE for ANY REASON during this pandemic. And I am not paying for him to take an Uber every time. I did that ONCE so he could get there on his first day. He’s got to figure something out. I’ve spent over $300 on him this month. And in exchange he is supposed to do my yard. Now today he wanted to come over and do yardwork for money to get to work. He is constantly bugging me and I feel like I have to hide in my own house.
