NeNe Leakes is spilling some tea and alleging Porsha Williams refused to work with her on a new television project.
On Friday, March 15, Leakes took to her Instagram Story to share a series of videos with fans. In the clips, she recounted an alleged “disappointing” experience.
Leakes explained that earlier this week, she was told by her management that Netflix had contacted her to appear in its comedy sitcom, ‘The Upshaws.’ Additionally, she shared that she was “really happy” about the opportunity.
“As the talks went on, we agreed on whatever we agreed up on. I was flyed out to LA on Tuesday, and they told me that Porsha Williams Guobadia was also playing in this particular series. She would be side-by-side with me,” Leakes explained.
Additionally, Leakes shared that she was “excited” about working with her former ‘RHOA’ castmate and knew they would “kill” their roles.
Once Leakes landed in Los Angeles, California, she met with the show’s wardrobe department. She and Williams reportedly needed to coordinate their outfits for the show.
However, once there, Leakes noticed that Williams never arrived.
“Porsha never came,” Leakes told fans. “We wrapped for the evening. I went back to my hotel, and when I got to my hotel, production called me and asked me if I had any issues with any Housewives because they were going to be casting — recasting the other position… they were gonna recast the position Porsha was playing.”
Leakes explained that she was confused by the update. Ultimately, Leakes’ fellow former ‘RHOA’ castmate Cynthia Bailey was chosen to fill Williams’ position.
“I was later told that Porsha did not show up to work and had said that she did not want to work with me. That we had had issues from the past, and she did not want to work with me,” Leakes continued, noting her disappointment and surprise by saying that she and Williams recently went on double dates. “I am shocked to hear that Porsha would go to a production company and say that she doesn’t want to work with me because we’ve had a lot of issues in the past. What lots of issues did we have in the past?”
From there, Leakes explained that she texted Williams about the incident. Williams reportedly replied that she’s going through a divorce, and Leakes failed to “reach out” to her “little sis.”
According to PEOPLE, Leakes told viewers she didn’t want to pry in Williams’ recent divorce.
The former ‘RHOA’ then ended the matter by saying:
“The bottom line is that Porsha did not want to share the spotlight. That’s it. Professionals can share the spotlight. Porsha is not a star. She is a Bravolebrity. Be clear.”

At this time, Williams has not publicly commented on Leakes’ recent revelation. However, she did take to Instagram to share a few photos.
Fellow ‘RHOA’ castmate Kenya Moore also entered The Shade Room’s comment section to chime in and share advice for Leakes.
“They offered me the same role and we know my history with Kim F. She’s a professional and still wanted to work with me,” Moore wrote. “I was booked but what is for you, no man or HW for that matter can take it. Keep your head up others will come.”
