Porsha Williams Confirms 'Housewives' Departure: 'No More Peach For Me'
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Williams announced Tuesday that she is not returning to the hit reality TV show.
The Bravo TV star, who joined in season 5, garnered backlash after physically assaulting her co-star Kenya Moore during the season 6 reunion show earlier this year. Despite calls for Bravo TV producers not to fire Williams, 33, over the incident, she revealed that she will no longer be featured on the show.
It is still unclear if she initiated her departure or whether she was fired.

"No more peach for me, but I still love checking in with my girls" #Blessed #SomethingMajor #JustHereToSlay #TeamPorsha," Williams wrote on Instagram alongside a glamorous selfie on Tuesday.
In April, Williams, who is the granddaughter of civil rights leader Hosea Williams, was booked on misdemeanor battery charges after Moore filed a police report relating to the March assault. At the time reports claimed producers were leaning towards axing her due to public outrage.
"She shouldn't get kicked off," fellow housewife NeNe Leakes previously told TMZ in response to axing rumors. "What they need to do is kick Kenya's fake booty off."
Leakes, along with fellow co-stars Cynthia Bailey, Phaedra Parks and Kandi Burruss reportedly all previously vowed to walk if producers axed Williams over the fight. No cast members have been confirmed for season 7 as insiders reveal contracts are currently on hold.
Williams is said to be focused on her "Dish Nation" co-hosting gig in the wake of her "Housewives" departure. She previously apologized for assaulting Moore.
"Violence is not the answer and I want to apologize to my fans, the viewers and the other ladies for my behavior," she said in a statement. "As I mentioned on the show I am embarrassed of my reaction and the way that I handled the provocation."
Last year she finalized her widely publicized divorce from former NFL star Kordell Stewart.
