In a statement, Williams expressed gratitude for NBCUniversal's trust and vision in her, as she looked forward to sharing her new experiences and projects with the world.


Williams initially joined 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' cast during its fifth season, where she quickly became a fan favorite with her candid personality and memorable moments. After departing from the show in its thirteenth season, Williams and Guobadia shared their journey together on the reality spinoff 'Porsha's Family Matters' in 2021, offering viewers a glimpse into their lives beyond the cameras.


Williams' presence extended beyond reality television, as she also participated in 'The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip,' showcasing her dynamic personality and ability to navigate interpersonal dynamics within the group.
