Apr, 30 2014 | Written by ATLien

Porsha ~~Stewart~~ Williams of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is speaking up and speaking out about the fight that got her booted from the season 6 reunion show set (click HERE if you missed that).

[READ: Mugshot Mania – Porsha Arrested After RHOA Fight… ]

Williams hit up Access Hollywood recently, where she explained that she?s very grateful having her co-stars stand up for her during the incident.

I feel like they?re backing me? I stand for a bigger purpose. This is not just about Porsha, you know, because I don?t even feel like people have gotten to know Porsha.

I think people are standing up for bullying. People are standing up for someone who doesn?t show another human respect.

In addition to the RHOA fight, Porsha also spoke of the alleged violence in her marriage to ex- husband Kordell Stewart, prompting him to issue a statement of his own.

This week, contestants were expected to perform a Latin routine plus were split up into two groups to perform an additional group dance.

Leakes and her partner, Tony Dovolani, performed the Argentine Tango while she was cheered on by her family and friends.

Derek J of Bravo’s ‘Fashion Queens’ and I also traveled to LA to show Nene some hometown support. We all knew her days were numbered in the dance contest, but had no idea tonight would be the night.

Leakes and actor/singer James Maslow both faced elimination but the star with the lowest combined total of judges? scores and viewer votes from the previous week?s performance was voted off.

During the elimination round, Nene shared that she was proud of herself for being able to compete with Olympians even though she had no dance experience.

?I hope that I have inspired women all over the world. This has been an amazing positive experience for me I want to just thank my husband and my children,? she said, also thanking her family, friends, fans and the judges.

She also sent along a special video message for all of the StraightFromTheA.com readers who took the time to vote for her…
