![‘VERY BUSY’ NeNe Leakes Hangs With Supermodels, Shades Aging Beauty Queens & Preps for ‘Dancing With Stars’ Debut… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/NeNe-Leakes-Posing-With-Naomi-Campbell-520x520.jpg)
Porsha Stewart of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is featured in Black Sophisticate’s Hair Care Magazine.
Stewart switched it up a few weeks ago, going from a bone straight to a ‘kinky curly’ weave when she shared photos as she hit the studio, but perhaps her husband Kordell decided it was time to change back.
Porsha now sports a long & luxurious style and she gets photo shoot fresh as photographer Drexina Nelson shoots her for a feature in SBH.
More photos and behind the scenes video from Porsha’s shoot PLUS her response to the talk of her husband being “too controlling” below…
Porsha looks amazing on the set of her shoot!
VIDEO: Behind The Scenes of Porsha’s SBH Shoot (Drexina Nelson)
Porsha catches a lot of flack about the way her husband cuts her off when she’s speaking, issues orders (that he fully expects her to follow) and inserts himself into her ‘girl fights’. But he’s nearly 10 years her senior, so of course Porsha goes to her hubby for advice.
Many have dubbed Kordell as a bit overbearing and controlling, but Porsha totally disagrees and says that’s just what a marriage is supposed to be.
Even her co-star Nene Leakes has chimed in a time or two about Kordell’s ‘bossy’ nature, stating:
But Porsha maintains that it’s not all bad… and it’s certainly not as bad as people think, stating:
Porsha’s RHOA co-star Cynthia Bailey doesn’t care much for Kordell’s interference either, referring to him as “dad,” after he told the women that their drama was getting on his “damn nerves.”
“Kordell always has these Kordell-isms,” Cynthia said. “Kordell’s just going to have to let Porsha be a big girl and fight her own battles, and I’m not really sure why he is even in this conversation at this point, and it’s starting to come off as a little controlling.”
What are your thoughts? Is Kordell a lil too stringent or is everyone being too judgmental?
At the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter how anyone feels about the matter. As long as the couple is ok with it… it’s all good.
Kordell acts more like her manager than her husband. I’ve never witnessed them on the show being affectionate towards each other…
No he acts more like her father than her husband. He let her go on the trip to Vegas? And BS to her saying strip clubs make her uncomfortable. Girl, you were born in Atlanta. Need I say more? She just knows not to step over her boundaries.
i agree with porsha. in other news,
why we ihatekenya.com’ing,
did anyone KNOW lil kim is starting to look like
"a dark skinned friend look like micheal jackson ….[and] a light skinned friend look like micheal jackson" – kanye west
and chris brown beat the hell out of rihrih cause he got angry issues. he just acted a damn fool over 10 bucks…
i’m waitin on that REAL tea!!
I like Porsha and Kordell’s relationship. It seems really really genuine. And I think him being older than her, it’s really natural that she trusts all of his advise. It’s not he’s telling her to go make a fool of herself, he’s telling her solid advise! If only Gregg and others didn’t hype up their coon ass wives to do foolish things… okay I’m done lol
And by the way, Porsha’s weave is a weave of all time LOL Now THAT’s a business! She needs to get with whoever she buys from and become the face of their product!
I agree with that! I don’t see how Kordell comes off as control. In my house growing up my dad made all the rules and decisions and we followed them. Including my mom. He wasn’t abusive, but that’s BIBLE! The MAN is the head of the house. All that "controlling" comments are coming from women who apparently didn’t have a strong man in the house and their mom ran everything. To each it’s own though. I love Kordell and Porsche.
I agree. These women would do the same thing if their husband were taking care of the home, and at least he is willing to listen. Porsha dob’t listen to those ladies you have a real husband and marriage!!! You are not doing the made for tv marriage!
Nope. I know the difference between leading a household and controlling a household.
Husbands who really believes all the things the Bible says about a good wife should also believe that she can handle her own personal friendships.
yes! church!!
Well said KING, why cant the other husbands encourage their wives to be ladies and to conduct themselves accordingly.
@king. There is a difference in advising and demanding, which is what Kordell does! DEMANDS! He tells her what to or not to do. I myself was married to a demanding 10 yrs my senior man. And until I left him for his controlling and what became physical and verbally abusive ways, did I really understand it wasn’t love. It was EGO & LOW SELF-ESTEEM, HIS! The abuse came mostly behind closed doors. On the other side of that closed door were friends and family praising him for being a loving, & financially supportive man. Honey, when I came to my senses. I took box # 1, because I’d rather to have lived in that box than to live (or die) in that type of hell! I don’t know that this is the same situation for her. But my prayers go out to Porsha!
Cynthia is the main bread winner and her husband used to boss her around. He told her to get off the phone when she was talking to NeNe. He stated that she was not to talk on the phone when he is at home. It was her house, but she had to do what he told her to and she got off the phone. He didn’t even pay the cost to be the boss. Cynthia must have forgotten we saw all of that on the show. NeNe and Gregg were also in deep financial trouble when they came on the show. They were evicted from their home (rental). Their husbands are glad that they do any and everything so the money keeps flowing. How many houses did you see Gregg sell? I am just saying.
Porsha is cool with it now because she’s still young. When she comes into her own, she’s not going to want his input like that. If Kordell understands that Porsha has grown and releases the reins, the relationship can stay intact. However, most guy’s instinct when they feel you pulling away is to hold you tighter.
I was thinking the same thing, one she really grows up she will get tired of him, hopefully she didn’t sign a pre-nup!!
She said in one of the episodes that she didn’t sign pre-nup…..I wonder if she is already fed up with him and that is why she is trying to hurry up and push out some insurance…I mean babies.
Preach on it! She is young and willing to please, but let her get a little older and honey when she relies that she had lost herself and her voice is not being heard or even considered. She will be wishing to God that she never laid eyes on a man called "Kordell." And I will make the same comment about Kim K when it comes to Mr. Controlling (Kanye West). I know off subject!
bEING IN ur 30s does not give u pass to be dumb and submissive
Eat the cake Anna Mae, eat the cake!
Porsha and Kordell’s relationship obviously works for them. They both seem happy with it, and if they’re cool with it, then I don’t see why anyone else would give AF. Oh, and Porsha looks fab here, but her weave game is always on point. Every time you see her, hair done, nails done, everything did lol. She’s a bad bish.. Pretty much the baddest one on this show. #fact Not sure why she gets so much shade.
because she thinks it is only 265 days in a year
Porsha was speaking in terms of the charity when she said 265 days in the year… perhaps, that is how many days out of the year her charity does work.Consider.
Some women need a strong man to take control and give them advice and direction. If it works for them, who are you to judge?
"Some women need a strong man to take control and give them advice and direction."
*As do some men!
According to her instagram the kinky curly hair is all hers. Not a weave. She is natural and when straightened her hair is almost as long as the clip-ins she wears. And yes Kordell is controlling. He is also very annoying.
you believe that??
Matter of fact my hair is the same way.
u really think that is her hair O____o
He is annoying and controlling. He should at least have enough respect for her to allow her to finish what she is saying when they are having a conversation. The only reason this relationship is working is b/c she wants to be a kept woman and he needs a beard.
yes Trina you said what I was thinking.
A hoe without a pimp is a bytch with no direction! *drops mic*
"A hoe without instructions is headed for destruction" Lol
Bwahahaha! I love it!
YESSSSS!LMAOO…y’all crazy.
DOA…..
Lmao, y’all too much!
A hoe with a gay pimp? Where they do that at? Ohhhhh…here in Atlanta. What was I thinking?
*dead*
See here is a case where the black man is being a leader in his home and people still have a problem with it. So she is a submissive wife and trusts her husbands leadership, whats so wrong with that? They are playing their roles and both seem happy with it. And Kordell seems like a worthy leader.
Its crazy to hear these comments because many blk women would follow a dog before they followed a blk man with some sense. What’s wrong with that picture??? We talk about the decline of the black family and how blk men don’t step up and be leaders in the home yet we bash the ones that do step up. Wow people, get it together.
#teardrop
If they like it, I love it. But let’s not act like their relationship is a "model marriage" to follow. Being submissive does not mean the husband has the right to run over his wife, treat her like a child, or "less than" his equal.
Do you think Michelle Obama would allow Barack to talk to and treat her the way Kordell does Porscha? I don’t think so. Women can be submissive and follow their husband’s leadership without being disrespected in the process. Let’s not get stuff twisted. Some relationships are healthy and some are not.
Not only does Kordell come across as a queen, but he seems to be very insecure which is why he bully’s and control his wife.
Cosign!
Preach on it, ShayShay
Preach hunty!
I agree. & most of the haters are either single & can’t get a man to save their lives. Or they have husbands that don’t, can’t & won’t break them off like Kordell does for her. They are on the outside, looking in the window, while she is in the store SHOPPING! If she likes it, i love it. That is one bad bish! Hi haters! Bloop!
For the record…i agree with @ I’m just saying…
How old are you? 12?? Your comment is childish. If anyone thinks that Kordel is the ideal husband is clearly desperate for a man or has only dealt with losers and abusers. What woman in her right mind would be satisfied with being treated like a doormat to feed her mans ego and insecurities in exchange to go shopping?
I’m sorry, but being a leader is not cutting your wife off and not letting her speak. Being a good leader would be to encourage your wife to haver her own voice.
Co-Sign!!! As a black woman who had a strong, smart, father leading my household, I married the same type of man. I’m 26 and have more sense than some of these older women. This is a man who loves his wife and is the head if his house. More black women need to jump on the bandwagon and stop ending up in section 8 housing with a bunch a children living on welfare while messing with Pookie and them because he lets you run the show. STUPID!
I too come from a strong father presence. And I was taught that my voice is just as important as a man’s. I’ve been with my husband 16 yrs, married 11 yrs and we are happy. He does not DICTATE to me as Kordell does. We ADVISE EACH OTHER. Being submissive does not mean being treated like a child! I have yet to see Kordell take any demands/ advice from her. A marriage is a PARTNERSHIP not a DICTATORSHIP! Y’all got it twisted acting like they have a model marriage. That man doesn’t advise her, her bosses her around!
I’m not saying they have a model marriage at all. I’m just saying that he is her husband and he is the leader of their household. Yes, he cuts her off and is short with her but are yall really gonna ignore the fact that this girl is not the brightest crayon in the box and probably needs the extra guidance?LOL
Cmon…
I still feel the same..he’s the head of the house and it’s working for them. Besides her mouth is big enough to let him know if he’s over doing it or power tripping w/his position.
He is controlling but guess what that fool tells the truth! LOL Hey whatever terms they have in their marriage is their business and who really cares..and Cynthia you were the resident dummy before Porsha came along and if my memory serves me correctly Peter likes to gossip about folks business as well. They only one that ain’t got time for it is Greg, good ol’ Greg.
Plus…Peter is a fine sexy chocolate, but he’s broke. Who wants that?
LMAO Greg is the best. He has great one liners and he knows that NeNe runs their relationship. Kordell isn’t really that controlling (I used to think he was), he just doesn’t want his WIFE runnin around actin like Kenya, and grindin on other men or takin inappropriate pics. I’m sure Kordell spoils Porsha rotten which is why she stays, I mean the girl goes furniture shoppin without lookin at the tags.
I guess Porsha feels like its better to be a WEALTHY WIFE, than a BROKE, WILD WOMAN!
hotdogsonthegrill.. I agree with you. Porsha is not dumb, but she does lack leadership qualities. Porsha is not used to being around people that are like these ladies. I think that Porsha has been sheltered most of her life and has not run a household. She had done some modeling, but I bet her mother or her sister handled the business aspect of that, not Porsha. She has a very good heart and she is outspoken. She wants to have a baby and a career. Kordell is trying to tell her that she is not ready for both at the same time. He does not want her to have a baby and give it to a nanny to raise. She would have a hard time with the baby. When she kept her little niece, she was like a chicken with her head cut off. She needed help with a 2 year old. She is thirty years old, but her experience in life is that of a child. I believe he loves her, but she is light years aways from being ready for a career and a child.
We put so much emphasis on men who leave their girl or children behind, now we dogging a good man because he is assertive.. Can a brutha catch a break.. Their relationship isn’t a problem if isn’t a problem for her or even him, maybe she likes an assertive man, maybe she finds it sexy the way he interacts with her. maybe they have an understanding that the public just doesn’t get.. Whatever the case maybe, why is their relationship an issue for so many people who don’t even have a relationship. Let that man take care of his woman the best way he know how, at least he is there supporting her. If she don’t like how he talks to her, she can leave.. She knows that!
Exactly it’s always the one with no man and no hair giving out marital and beauty tips. LOL
As dumb as she appears, she needs someone looking out for her best interest. If she was a woman of normal intelligence maybe he wouldn’t feel the need to be in every aspect of her life. In the end your partner does reflect you, and he doesn’t want her acting the damn fool
Agreed!!! She dumb but she thinks it’s cute and a real man wouldn’t want anyone as dumb as her. Do you think if they were invited to the White House she could hold an intelligent conversation with Sasha and Malia? They would give her the straight side-eye. LOL.There is a reason why she listed the teen Kardashians sisters as her circle of friends. Isn’t Khloe in her age and peer range? Khloe would literally clown her behind. I bet the Kardashians know more about Black History than this dingbat. With that said I’m kind of glad they are together because I don’t think anyone with a bit of sense could tolerate either of them. So yes they truly deserved each other. As long as he’s not smacking her around and uses condoms when he’s out of town on business then it’s all good.
she is a sweet person and of course a REAL man would want her. if kordell wanted someone smart he would have went after that after all. i lot of those "alpha" chicks are single as phuck and just waitin on kordell or the bus driver dude to at least say hi. peep fakedra and kandi…i just saying lol
that cutting people off when they talk, i think thats just kordell and porsha loves him so she could care less about that annoying sh*t. remeber he was doing that to the other dudes when they were talking
good point
thank u!
Some women need to be led, they lack the intelligence, self confidence and ingenuity to work their own program even whilst in a PARTNERSHIP, ( which what I thought marriage was)and Porsche seems to be one. Can u image the poor girl left to her own recognises in the big bad world thinking shyt like there’s 265 days in a year? smh*
Porsche if u read this I just want to share what my Grandfather told me long ago….Marriage is like a Ship traveling to a destination, the man is the Captain and the woman is the Navigator….any captain that neglects to listen to his navigator while governing the ship is a fool, and the captain’s job is oversee operations to get the ship to the destination while the navigator holds the captain accountable for the decision made to reach the destination of the voyage….I hope that didn’t fly over ur head.
so she wear clip ins? bcuz they look like sew ins, but she be onpoint all the time & I actually like kordell she needs him to me. bcuz the shit she say omg 265 days a year classic
I don’t watch RHOA other than what I see on blogs.Kordell Stewart is controlling because he want to be the one wearing the long weaves and fake eyelashes.
all that weave would give me headache..
I do like her style tho..
THE MANY REASONS PORSHA WEARS A WEAVE…
To keep her brain warm
So her head will hurt for another reason besides thinking
To keep Kordell off of her when he wants sex…wait for it….wait for it…
So she can have someone to talk to
She thinks it’s an invisibility cloak so her Grandfather and Jesus can’t judge her from on high
It helps her make coffee
She pays it to babysit her niece
LMAOOO….I knew you would come with the facts on this young Friday!
Thank you ma’am, but something else just came to mind. Remember the post where she was "au natural" in the studio? I put my last Chuck E Cheese token on everything, Kordell told her…
"Miss Bitch…I need more Beyonce’ less Solange..straighten that shit out, don’t make me do it!"
@jbm, HI-LA-RI-US
Mother freaking DEAD!!!!!!!!!
@jbm
"More Beyonce, less Solange"
______________________ #flatlined
Kordell is that DL brotha the likes to have a barbie Doll on his arm. He gets to control what she wears, how she fixes her hair.. She has to be pretty all the time. I promise you he will only date a barbie doll like woman.
Well, when ur depending on someone financially u have no choice u but to obey. From the sneak peek of next wk show, she appears to a little pissy bc the ladies called her on Cordell controlling her, she looked shocked but she forgot all the ladies on RHOA are business women & they demand respect. When u get by, by laying on ur back that’s what u get – that’s what I was taught by my parents as a little girl.
"Porsha Stewart’s WEAVE Lands Hair Care Photo Shoot"…When I read the title, I knew the shade was alive and well-too funny, Michelle!I’m here for the commentary,I could care less about this bird and her warden-when she starts talking, I instantly hear the sweet sound of birds chirping and tune all the way out.
I don’t really see anything special about her hair other than it’s a weave and styled like a white woman.
I think Porsha is a beautiful young woman and I like her style! Btw it seems when a woman really has a husband and there lifestyle is worthy of a reality show they get the dogged out and the boot! What is up with that. Why can’t the reality be positive? I’m just saying!
For the person that said most of us are talking about their relationship b/c we do not have a man, stfu. I have a great husband that respects me and takes care of the household. He holds conversations with me and does not lecture me and tell me what to wear and how to do my hair. Hell if I wanted someone like that I would have stayed at home with my parents.
Ty for that, Trina. My man and I CONFER, we don’t do this Ike and Tina shyt that the Stewarts got going on. It amazes me that because some of us women don’t agree with being talked down to, we are automatically single babymommas "messing with Pookie and nem" as I read earlier. My father doesn’t even talk to me the way her warden speaks to her!If he talks to her this way in public, I can just imagine behind closed doors. A real man knows how to handle a strong woman-you birds keep dumbing yourself down for these men with control issues if you want-You will have all the riches in the world, and still no respect in your own damn house.
Church!
You better tell it! I totally co-sign, my marriage is the same way. These chicks are delusional if they think this is how marriage should be(like kordell’s)!
I am going to say that I have no interest in judging the marriage of Kordell & Porsha Sterwart because that is their marriage, and no one else’s.
Regardless of what anyone else feels about their marriage, relationship, arrangement, or association with each other, is totally between Kordell & Porsha Stewart.
I could give a rat’s ass if Kordell is "GAY, STRAIGHT, CONFUSED, ON THE FENCE AND STILL DECIDING ON HIS SEXUALITY" he is still a "MAN FIRST" and nothing short of that fact.
I like Porsha and I wish her nothing but the best. I don’t waste my time worrying about the marriages, nor relationships between other people. Because i’m not in one, nor have I ever cared to date anyone, and i’m not interested. I prefer being single for the rest of my days on this earth.
Kordell & Porsha Stewart do what is best for the both of you, and no one else.
Well Me Jeweler! They gave us the right to get in their business, when they chose to become a part of Reality TV!
If seems to work for them…so forget everyone else…
I don’t like stop clubs either….it’s depressing to see the things that women will do for money….so I get she’s uncomfortable….no one can change her feelings….
She respects her husband….period..
I concur. I do not want to see another woman bust it wide in front of my face. It’s not my choice of entertainment. So she was perfectly within her own sound mind to say she feels uncomfortable.
Porsha is such a pretty girl. I like her relationship with her husband. I don’t get all of the negative comments about her husband. It’s HER husband. SMH
I don’t think he’s controlling, yet, I believe she allows him to believe that he runs the show. Additionally, I think a lot of the housewives are jealous because she is the only real housewife. People think she’s dumb but, if you look closely you will see she is not. Wouldn’t be surprised if they get a spinoff and she becomes the black version of Jessica Simpson. BY FAR the best dresser on the show…ijs
Kordell is soo ugly I can’t even look at him and Porsha has the brain of a brick can’t even listen to her. Sponge Bob Square head Kordell is too dammm controlling, she’s his child/Barbie Doll, gay a zz.
How is Cynthia gone talk the way that Peter crowned the year that they got married. And Ms. nene you’re my girl but humble yourself a bit
To echo some of the other comments, I too grew up with a strong and intelligent father, he wasn’t much on church, but he never let me miss a service, lol. Well, yes, Kordell could great improve his tone, put yourself in his shoes….
Porscha is no Madam Curie, so if you leave her unsupervised for too long, sh•t gone blow up or burn down — metaphorically speaking, of course.
Ya’ll know Ms. Porsche needs adult supervision. He just may be perfect for her & vice versa. If he wanted a woman who could work complicated machinery (like a coffee maker) or a woman who can do complicated math ( like knowing the number of days in a year) he would have got one.
Jessica Simpson made a mint off of being dumb! I still say that bish was playing dumb. If Porsche is following in her footsteps ya’ll gone be real mad when she gets a million dollar " see & say" contract.
If Kordell was truly controlling he would make her wear a helmet before he allowed her to roam around on her own. She should not go to Vegas alone when she doesn’t know the number of days in a year…she wouldn’t come home until Augtember 32nd.
Oh well, she is VERY attractive
Now let me call Pookie & ‘em & see if me & the kids can get a ride to Wal-Mart & get some shoes with these food stamps!
"Now let me call Pookie & ‘em & see if me & the kids can get a ride to Wal-Mart & get some shoes with these food stamps!"LMAOOO!
The main one’s throwing shade at Porsha have less than perfect relationships. We all saw Gregg publicly bash his wife, on national television. Peter…do I even need to go there? LOL! If it works for them, then so be it.
it’s 2013 NOT 1960!! THE strong black women is the NOW. if yal broads want to let a man run the household while u are home washing dishes! U where born in the wrong ERA
Hence there are so many unmarried, single, bitter STRONG BLACK WOMEN!!!
Thats the problem we always wanna run something and be so strong that men don’t want us cause we are the NEW BLACK MAN of this era. We need balance ladies.
I’m married to a worthy black man, I take care of our children, our home, I even wash the dishes but I also make 6 figs (almost as much as hubby), and that man is the leader of the house and I know my role in that house. We have a partnership and we respect our roles. So maybe you need to rethink what the NEW ERA black women should be about.
I agree. Marriage is a team effort, but Kordell’s queen ass is determined to be the damn coach. A real man knows that while he’s the head of the household and may have the final say in it all, he still has to respect and consider his mate’s feelings and opinions. Kordell has absolutely no respect for Porsha, and it becomes more apparent with each episode.
Well said!
Michelle talks down and interrupts Obama constantly and you can tell he doesn’t like it one bit. Besides without him begging Congress to spend more money section 8 housing won’t be as readily available then what will the majority if the black community do about paying their rent? Omg they might have to get off their big ole butts nd get a job like the rest if us do!! All the black women in here complaining about Kordell and Porsha. I find it refreshing to see a strong black man asserting himself and caring about his family. He’s being responsible for himself and he gives his wife good advice. Kenya can’t get a man, Cynthia’s man is worthless, Phaedra controls Apollo, Khandi controls her man and Nene controls Greg I mean does be have a job? Kordell wants his wife to carry herself with class and dignity and I find it refreshing to see. Others in the black community could learn a thing or two from their marriage. Please black women are so thirsty and everyone knows it. Quit complaining about all the good black men marrying white women. Hello!! Have you watched how black women act? No successful man wants a woman who acts like a hoe or was a stripped so don’t get it twisted! It’s just the facts!! Face it.
" Besides without him begging Congress to spend more money section 8 housing won’t be as readily available then what will the majority if the black community do about paying their rent?" What a trifling, close-minded, and racist ass comment. Damn, I wish y’all would keep that shit on RWS.
These comments are very telling. I can tell who’s married/have a man and who wishes they were married. Men who truly love their wives do not disrespect them the way Kordel does. Kordel knows she’s not going anywhere so he can do what he wants.
Kordel uses Porscha to hide his other (DL) activity. She’s perfect for him bc she’s young and dumb and would never believe or question the chatter about his other lifestyle. She’s pretty and great for appearances. And she’s easy (or vulnerable for some reason) to boss around to feed his ego.
These two remind me of a Black version of Sleeping with the Enemy excluding the wife faking her own dead. That would take a cerebral person to carry that off. Porsha is not cerebral so she is going to be stuck getting her butt kicked. Let’s face it, we all know that something physical is going on because she is really afraid to make mistakes. She is not trying to make her husband happy because she of loves him, she’s just not trying to get her butt kicked. With that being said I really don’t feel sorry for her. She seems lazy to me so I am kind of glad that he rides her like he does.
Isnt Kordel gay?
