Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Porsha Williams after release hugs Breonna Taylor’s mother Tamika Palmer

Porsha Williams after getting released from jail in Kentucky hugged Breonna Taylor’s mother Tamika Palmer on Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta.

The 39-year-old reality star was arrested while peacefully protesting in Louisville, Kentucky outside the home of Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron over the killing of 26-year-old Taylor in March by Louisville Metro Police Department officers.

Porsha, who is the daughter of late civil rights leader Hosea Williams, was among 87 protesters arrested in July and was charged with intimidating a participant in a legal process, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.

She was released the next day and phoned home to Atlanta to speak with her one-year-old daughter Pilar Jhena, her mother Ms. Diane and sister Lauren.

PJ instantly smiled when she recognized Porsha on the video call and kicked her feet in excitement.

‘It was rough y’all. It, it stank …The floors were hard. So I’m tired and I’m going to catch a five o’clock flight and come on home,’ she said.

‘I’m glad I did it. You know when I laid down and I finally gave up that I was gonna get out that night. And I thought to myself, at the end of the day no matter when I get outta here I’m gonna kiss my mama and I’m gonna kiss my baby,’ Porsha told her mother and sister.

‘But the reason I’m here is for Breonna Taylor and she can’t do either of those things,’ she added.

‘When I walked out of that jail and I saw her mother, Miss Tamika Palmer, and I hugged her. And she had such warmth. It was just so selfless because you know she is suffering,’ Porsha said over the phone.

In a confessional that featured clips of PJ, Porsha added: ‘Every time I look at Tamika Palmer, I think to myself I can’t even imagine having hopes and dreams for my daughter’s future, and the people who are being paid to protect and serve take her away from me.’

Porsha when she got home teased her mother for the lackluster celebration over her return.

‘Oh. Men come home from jail …y’all be havin’ cookouts, parties,’ Porsha joked.

Ms Diane asked Porsha about her experience in Louisville and if she was afraid.

‘You know, you just kinda put aside any fear that you have because of what you’re trying to accomplish,’ Porsha said.

She admitted to being scared at some points and also thinking ‘this is what my grandfather had to do and go through’.

Porsha realized that she had to get back to life and make up time at work and with PJ.

‘I will have to organize, you know? And make sure that things that I say that I’m gonna be a part of, if it has anything to do with the movement, I gotta make sure that I do it and make sure I do it wholeheartedly,’ Porsha said.

The Dish Nation star mentioned a development in Taylor’s case shown in a DailyMail.com article that gave her further resolve.

‘When we got back from Kentucky, we learned that an outside organization is taking a look into Breonna’s case. This is definitely a step forward for Breonna and her family. I’m just gonna continue doin’ what I’m doing and shine a light on people who frankly aren’t doing their damn job,’ Porsha said in a confessional.

She also told her mother that her relationship with fiance Dennis McKinley needed to evolve and their arguments were starting to get ‘a little toxic’.

‘Before quarantine, something small didn’t feel big to us, but now toxic can be you taking a long time to bring me the bottle. Toxic can be that you didn’t clean the living room up with her toys. Like, simple s*** can take you to level 10,’ Porsha said.

 She added that it didn’t feel as if they were able to connect.

The season 13 episode tiled New Peach In The Orchard opened with Kenya Moore, 49, hosting an outside gathering amid 93-degree that included her new friend LaToya Ali and Cynthia Bailey, 53.

They drank wine and talked about dating Trinidadian men.

Kenya called herself a great judge of character and declared that she was going to steal LaToya from their mutual friend Kandi Burruss, 44.

Cynthia asked Kenya about her marital status with Marc Daly and the former Miss USA winner said she had not yet filed any papers against their marriage.

She added that Marc was angry and LaToya said in the Caribbean that was known as tabanca, defined as love that isn’t rewarded or returned thereby causing a shift in everyday behavior.

Kenya in a confessional said she was in the process of making a final decision about whether to file for divorce or custody action over their young daughter Brooklyn.

Cynthia later went out for drink outdoors with her friend and show newcomer Drew Sidora,  35, who also is friend with former RHOA cast member Eva Marcille, 36.  

Drew was sporting an ankle boot after rupturing her Achilles heel while performing in a play.

The actress in a confessional said she was looking forward to working in Atlanta after moving there from Los Angeles. 

Drew and her husband Ralph Pittman who have been married since 2014 later had a candid conversation over his unexcused absence.  

Ralph surprised her with champagne, a balloon arrangement and private chef as Drew in a confessional admitted their relationship was ‘unbalanced’.

He asked her to reveal what was working and what wasn’t in their marriage and Drew took him up on the offer. 

Drew reminded him that they both said that transparency was important to their ‘recipe’ when they were in marriage counseling. 

‘I feel like that isn’t part of the marriage, you don’t ever put that ingredient in the marriage,’ Drew said.

She cited his leaving and not telling her as an example. 

‘Because you left the other day, and I still don’t know where you were,’ Drew said.

‘You don’t really truly understand men and how we work, especially black men. If I leave, it’s really truly in the spur of the moment because I need to get away,’ Ralph said.

He added that it was the best decision at the moment and that Drew didn’t understand the pressure he was under.

‘I came from nothin’. I’m the first generation where I’m trying to create what a true legacy looks like,’ Ralph said.

Drew then went back to her original question.

‘In what planet you can leave the house, and you’re married, and you can’t tell your wife where you’re goin’, where you are? Like, that’s crazy,’ Drew said.

Ralph admitted that he was at ‘the beach’ at first and then revealed that he left Georgia and went to Tampa, Florida.

He insisted that information didn’t help her and Tampa had nothing to do with her.

‘I don’t know who would drive past four beaches to get to the ocean. A ocean is a ocean. A beach is a beach. I got my eyes open,’ Drew said in a confessional.

She then accused Ralph of spying on her, her mother and their children with a camera while he was away.

‘I found a picture in his phone where I was sleeping, my mom was sitting on the couch, and my kids were in the background. It’s just too much. Like, that’s disrespectful. It’s an invasion of privacy and I’m so hurt,’ Drew said.

Ralph asked if she wanted to have another six years of marriage and told Drew she had to stop raising ‘stupid’ issues.

‘You’re just sayin’ this ’cause I’m calling out real s***’ Drew told him.

She swore that she would walk out if Ralph lied to her and asked again if he watched her on a camera.

‘I wasn’t watching you on the camera,’ Ralph said as Drew left the table calling him a liar.

Drew cried behind doors to her mother Pastor Jeanette that Ralph as lying to her and embarrassing her.

‘I don’t know how we move past it because we’re not getting anywhere. I just feel like I can’t get through to my husband. I’m done,’ Drew said.

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta will return next week on Bravo.
