EXCLUSIVE! Meet Newest Atlanta Housewife Porsha Williams Stewart… [PHOTOS]

Aug, 13 2012 | Written by ATLien
I know y’all have been chomping at the bit for some Real Housewives of Atlanta news and boy have I got some for you guys!

As you know, I was the first to announce that Kenya Moore would be joining RHOA and I also told you that producers of the show were seeking one more addition to the show.

There were several ladies up for the part: Toya Wright (negotiations failed), Nicole Porche (producers decided that her being an actress wasn’t a good look), Keisha Knight Pulliam (she denied it but taped a few scenes) and a few others.

Several Atlanta “wives” were approached but none seemed to have that “it” factor the producers were seeking. That is… until producers met Porsha Williams Stewart.

Here’s that RHOA tea y’all have been waiting for…

Porsha’ Dyanne Williams-Stewart, the granddaughter of Civil Rights Leader Hosea Williams, has officially joined the cast of the popular reality show and has been taping for over a month now.

Porsha even attended Cynthia Bailey’s launch party for her new P.T. Rose Moscato a few weeks ago (PHOTOS).

Casting is finally closed for season 5 and the opening segments were finally shot last week… so the season 5 RHOA cast officially includes the following:

Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss, Nene Leakes, Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore, and the most recent addition – Porsha Williams-Stewart.

FYI – Kim Zolciak will have an EXTREMELY limited role on the show this season due to her ~~unwillingness to participate in any group trips and functions~~ latest pregnancy.

[Sidebar: In case you were wondering why it’s taking this season so long to wrap, it’s rumored that it was because the cast actually banded together and REFUSED to tape until Bravo gave them some specifics on Kim’s role this season. It appears Zolciak hasn’t been pulling her fair share of the weight and the other ladies are a bit perturbed that the token white chick got all the perks… but you didn’t hear that from me!]

As for Marlo Hampton, she hasn’t been mentioned much so I’m assuming she won’t have a substantial role this season (if at all).

For the record, the newest housewife just so happens to be married, which is a rare trait for a new Atlanta housewife, and her husband is Kordell Stewart, a Louisiana native who performed in the NFL for 11 seasons.

Stewart, a former Pittsburgh Steeler QB, and Williams were married last year in an exclusive fairytale wedding.

Video/Wedding Photo Credit: Tiffany Nieves-Cook EventsThe good news for us ATLiens is that Porsha is actually an Atlanta native who presently resides in Buckhead.

She is the first Granddaughter of the late Civil Rights Leader and founder of “Hosea Williams Feed the Hungry,” the Rev. Hosea Williams.

Church has always played a major role in Williams’ southern upbringing and being the daughter of Atlanta’s own Hosea Williams II, Porsha knows a thing or two about giving back and helping the community.

Williams’ childhood background is what has shaped her into the women she is today. She thrives in women’s ministries and her successful Child Development Centers that Williams has opened throughout Atlanta.

Looks like RHOA is moving in a more positive direction! Hopefully Porsha Stewart will keep her family’s legacy in tact and won’t fall into that ratchet “reality show” trap that we all know & love.

What do you think of the newest addition to the cast?

  Her and her husband make a beautiful couple. Tired of Kim. Never watched her show. Most of the other shows dont have a token black so if she is tired of shooting with others and their drama she can exit stage left. I wont miss her. Im just happy Sheree is out.
  
  JENNY JONES!!!
  
  OMG!!!! KORDELL STEWART WAS KNOWN AS THE ‘DL’ QUARTER BACK FOREVER SO HE IS PROBABLY LOVING ATLANTA AND ALL OF IT’S MANLY TREATS. LOL!!! IT’LL ALL COME OUT NOW THAT THEY ARE ON THE SHOW. SMH!!!…….JENNY JONES!!!
  
  Vay
  
  @Jenny Jones…it’s a shame that when I saw you posted I hurried up on in here just to get a laugh and you didnt let me down…lol @ manly treats!!
  
  Jasmine
  
  I agree. I remember when they had him on the news after he was caught with another guy in the park.
  
  Kamalla
  
  OMG! What???
  
  Why are these black women bedding and marrying these queer ass men? No wonder we are the fastest growing HIV population. I pity my sistahs. Just plain pitiful.

  Good lord you are ignorant!!
  
  How do you manage to breathe without suffocating?
  
  pat
  
  Girl, You have no shame. Hoshea Williams made a few mistakes, but he was a legend. You look like a fool ruining his name. Get a job.
  Your aunt has worked so hard to keep the Feed the Hunry program going. You are just stupid.

  Why does everyone hate Sheree?
- tb
  
  Well, she can say good bye to her marriage. Money is not worth the "reality show curse." But, to each their own.
  
  curioustiff
  
  My thoughts exactly. Just opening the door for unnecessary nonsense and such a beautiful couple.
- lockstress
  
  Why is this show still on?
  
  faith
  
  BECAUSE WE LOVE IT, CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH! TIRED
  OF NJ & NY, YOU DON’T HAVE TO WATCH.
- MIGUEL
  
  the newest and the prettiest!! black at its best.
- Koko
  
  Why in the world would she get on that hood rat show??? Oh well, she is now running the family name into the mud, as for boring, third wheel Kim, her old man has made it clear, he does not like her being in the company of the coloreds, so, why dosen’t she just quit and do what she seems to be doing best, popping out babies for coins with Forrest Gump’s son?

  erects one finger and exists the building
  
  Vay
  
  hahahahaha @NewMeKnowYou…we call that the church finger!! lol
  
  NewMeKnowYou
  
  You know that’s the whole message right there, if Kim don’t want to be on the show she should ask Sheree how to get kicked off.
  
  faith
  
  IS NJ, NY, & BEVERLYHILLS HOOD RAT? THEY ARGUE
  AND ACT WORST THAN ATL BUT THEY’RE ALL WHITE!

  I don’t like Porche, we know who Martin Luther King Jr,is, may God Rest his soul, no disrespect to Porche grandfather, but who he was he. I know who Jessie Jackson is Andrew Young is, have no idea who her grandfather is, she is the one that is coming up on his history. I really don’t care, and she just got married last year, and trying to be like Kim Z. I been felt that Kroy did not like the other ladies, look how distance he is towards Sweetie, why did she come back, because Bravo made Kim Z. bring her back. I hope they paid her a lot, i don’t like Kim, she told Sweetie to pick up the dog mess.
- Sasha T.
  
  She’s cute. I like her so far…I don’t see why they need 7 housewives on the show though (Nene, Cynthia, Porsha, Kenya, Phaedra, Kandi and Kim) in the order that I like them…."And in that order!"
  
  Bobbie
  
  Cynthia, is a mess in the city, she is so jeaouls of Kenya and so is Porsha, i am so glad that they all got to see Kenya hair is real, why can’t black women get along, get over your fake hair/weaves/wigs. Cynthia talks more mess than a little bit. Been modeling for over 25 years, were is her money, Tyra Banks, Iman and Naomi got bank, Cynthia don’t have any money. Give me a break, Porsha don’t have any money, it’s her husbands money. Kandi and Phaedra got bank. I really like Ne Ne, she really keeps it real, with the sex toys, she’s not interested, lot of the other mess, she is just not for all that scrap. Two Thumbs up to Ne Ne, i like a real women no matter what color you are, just keep it real. I hate messy women. I work with a lot, and i just tell them to keep it moving, i am not the one. Don’t mess with me, stay in your own lane, find something else to do, than to mess with me. I don’t have time for drama. What the devil.
  
  Ruby
  
  Do you still fill the same about Nene? Just wondering?
- Isys
  
  Um… cute dress #thatisall
- Jennifer
  
  All yall got a good point. I concur.
- jbrizzy
  
  Kim can go, like s=Sheree she will not be missed, and if this season is anything like the last two seasons, then they can go ahead an just cancel this show all together
- Hot Caddy Girl
  
  She is a beautiful young lady. Why on earth would she join this circus? I hope she doesn’t bring shame to her family with this foolishness.
  
  Ayanna Costa
  
  I was thinking the same thing. Unless she is going to act a fool like the rest of them, I feel she will easily be cut anyway if she’s too positive which in other words means she’s boring. If I was her I would not waste my time doing a show like this.
  
  It’s her business
  
  Me either.
  
  Ruby
  
  How do you fill anout Porsha now. 2014
- MIGUEL
  
  1.jbrizzy your comment i like…the last few seasons were a bit boring the first season is still the best in my opinion.
  
  2. just because this new lady seems to have an outstanding family background dont mean she a saint lets not pre-judge or judge to quickly.
  
  3.i cant really call this show ratchet or a hoodrat show compared to whats out now at least the show havent came to blows thrown yet.
  
  It’s her business
  
  Her family or background can’t be that outstanding. Niether her family or background taught her anything useful. If they did, why is she on this kind of show?
  
  faith
  
  AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS SHOW? CABLE HAS
  PLENTY OTHER CHANNELS TO WATCH, BYE.
- Michelle
  
  OMG!!! That is so what ever!!!
- eb
  
  Uh, what is a Pittsburgh "Stealer" tho? it’s STEELERS.
- JayWay
  
  I see another S. Snow repeat, maybe Porsha has the drama that Bravo is looking for, but with the "churchy" background…she may not make it more than 1 season or maybe 2…we will see!
- ALM
  
  Nice couple. They both have gorgeous teeth/smiles. I wanted to get excited about her casting, but I know that Bravo casts for anticipated/perceived drama. If for some reason she skirts the entire season without any drama, Bravo will then spin her as "cold, stuck up and uppity" because she doesn’t fit the stereotypical mold that Bravo is determined to portray.
  
  I also wonder about the reflection on her grandfather, especially if she becomes caught up in major drama on the show.
  
  It’s her business
  
  "If" she becomes caught up in drama? She’s already cast for the show… that means drama. Her grandfather’s civil rights work was done in vain. Look where his granddaughter wound up.
- chrissyfbaby
  
  chile please ever since Kim married that big red neck billy bob looking husband of hers that bitch really been smelling herself :-/
- Uguess
  
  BORING! She ain’t got to be jumping on tables but um she sounds ya know square.
- NewMeKnowYou
  
  Zzzzzzzzz, huh, what, …….ok, I’m thankful that Bravo is deciding to move towards a more positive influences in the black community but as far as entertainment I doubt this will equal ratings. I for one I’m tired of Kim and her played out wig, they both could use a good disinfectant. I almost feel sorry for Kroy because he’s just a small time boy that found fame through his talent in football and can’t recognize a professional gold digger in his mist.
- HouSocial
  
  Kim & Sheree used to be may favorites on that show, now unfortunately that got rid of Sheree, they should have kicked Kim to the curb she has become so boring! I don’t wont to hear about her babies or Kroy anymore. Pick up the wine an the couture bitch and get back to the good days since your back in that townhouse again!! I hope Marlo get some screen time I love her.
- l
  
  Why are they perturbed? Because that Andy man is gonna take care of Kim regardless.Yall can film or not film, it does not matter to him/replacements are readily available-they really don’t care about "us".That’s just how they do that.
- Detroit Girl Tee
  
  Speak on it^^^^ "I" commentor 4:34 pm. On point.
  
  l
  
  Detroit Girl Tee, all of the "brown" housewives know what’s really up?
- SAM
  
  Bye Kim. Kim thinks she set for life because of her husband. SHe must realize, just because u pop pot his kids doesn’t mean he’ll stay with you forever,ask Sheree. Also, I am so happy NeNe decided to stay.Love her or hate her, she’s the reason there is still a show.Again,bye Kim.
- [email protected]
  
  I hope she does not act a ghetto fool, or a materialist fool on the show. There are enough of those on the show already (NeNe & Phaedra)
- It’s her business
  
  Why would the granddaughter of a civil rights leader, who fought for equality for blacks, go on a show that degrades blacks? This girl obviously doesn’t know sh*t about what her grandfather stood for. Another black woman embarrassing the rest of us.
  
  faith
  
  IF YOU WEREN’T WATCHING YOU WOULDN’T BE SO CALL
  EMBARRASSED. PLEASE, RELAX AND NOT BE SO UP
  TIGHT. THESE BLACK WOMEN ACT NO DIFFERENT THAN
  THE OTHER HOUSEWIVES.
- plsnomore
  
  I hope that does not mean Kim is getting a second season to her spinoff. I never had to watch to hear how boring it was. She is boring and the tide has prob shifted Sheree is gone, Kandi has limited her interaction after not being paid and accused of calling her a racist. If she has not hung out with new girls or pretended to get to know them unless she and the new girl bonded over being football wives the only friend left is fakedra who plays a character and goes along the flow…boring not interested in another season of she and kroy’s boring love or all of her confessionals Nene look like this or Nene does that
- I’m not one to gossip…but
  
  At least they are sticking together on something…. I hate to see us throw one another under the bus, especially for someone like Kim and her ( one of the lost Hatfieds and/or Mckoys ) husband
- WAKE-UP
  
  Why won’t they just fire ol’ wiggy (Kim) and be done with it???
  
  NewMeKnowYou
  
  Get wiggy wit it, nuhnuhnuhnuhnuh……………….sorry I’m bored 0_0
- Kissoff
  
  She has big fish eyes and lots of tatoos. She aint no saint and why doesn’t she have a college education?
  
  She wants to be famous and married only one year? that’s the quickest way to get a divorce. Hope they have a pre-nup.

  She is absolutely stunningly beautiful and I am sure she will be entertaining on the new season but……Can we please have some WHITE Atlanta housewives? Atlanta is not an entirely "chocolate city" to quote the words of Ray Nagin. Even a token Asian girl will be fine with me. A step toward some progress.

- Katrina Gray via Facebook
  
  She has beautiful skin and nice weave. Other than that, she comes off as flighty, self-centered, and elitist.
- Watson Natalie via Facebook
  
  You summed it up, Katrina. Have a question: What was the point of her husband presenting her with a cake and purse? Was it a fundraiser or her birthday? She’s a stunner.

  Her life just went from sugar to shit! Even thought I enjoy watching reality tv it is so negative! The producers will never allow anything positive to touch this show… Remember what happened to the other positive case members? And there where a couple that I thought were positive, Deshun? Lisa? Just think about it!

Also shes saying she wants twins?!?! I am a twin and i have seen how hard my mother worked and cared for us. She couldnt even take good care of her neice Jaden. One im surprised the poor baby lived for a week. Second a dog can not take care of a baby you stupid idiot!!! But you want two? Ha and you cant just be like oh I want twins !

  Miss Priss needs to go back to school and become educated in the minimum basics. She is making a fool of herself, and her Gradnfather would be appalled.
- 2Infinity
  
  Wow. And yesterday, it was announced that Kordell has filed for a divorce. Reality TV show curse is still in full effect. On the RHOA, Kordell is shown to be a completely controlling @ss over Porshe. And Porsha — good grief, she is as dumb as a bag of rocks. She’s pretty, but that can only carry you so far. Obviously.
- Dianna
  
  Kordell did not want Porsha to put him on front street….He looked really pissed at during counseling

  I love her and she should stay but Kenya should go no ones like her she is a old longer that need a man that she don’t have to pay.God bless her to go somewhere where she can get it together at
