The Truth About Porsha Williams' Divorce From Kordell Stewart

Posted by Reinaldo Massengill on Thursday, May 9, 2024

Since her inaugural season on Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta," we've seen Porsha Williams undergo a ton of character development. From being a modest trophy wife to a twerking single woman, Porsha's life had clearly changed after her divorce from her first husband, Kordell Stewart. The two were introduced as newlyweds on season 5 of "RHOA," but their relationship deteriorated as Porsha expressed her desire to work outside of their home. Stewart instead wanted her to remain a full-time housewife as they aspired to work towards starting their own family.

The other cast members felt Stewart's behavior was controlling and chauvinistic. However, Porsha came to his defense. Behind closed doors, Kordell felt the reality star was being negatively influenced, causing him to file for divorce. He claimed that Porsha chose fame and independence over their family, and also contributed to rumors about his sexuality. During a February 2021 interview with Tamron Hall, Stewart addressed the resurfaced rumors on the show: "That show is all about storyline and you draw from whoever the castmates ... that are on the show, what they've been a part of, so there was a chance that, that [the rumor] may have seeped in."
