Real Housewives of Atlanta stars NeNe Leakes and Porsha Williams seem to still have some sort of issue brewing from their past. According to Leakes, Williams has refused to work with her on the forthcoming season of Netflix’s The Upshaws, which stars Mike Epps.
“Earlier this week, I was told by my management company that the Netflix scripted series The Upshaws were interested in casting me for a part,” Leakes said in an Instagram video on Friday (Mar. 15). “I haven’t seen Porsha. We always have a good laugh when we see each other, so I was like, ‘Ok, me and Porsha are going to kill this part.'”
According to the 56-year-old widow, Williams never showed up to set.
“Porsha never came,” Leakes claimed upon her arrival to LA for dress rehearsals. “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 recasting the other position.”
Further explaining the situation, she added, “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.”
“The bottom line is that Porsha did not want to share the spotlight. That’s it,” Leakes said. “Professionals can share the spotlight. Porsha is not a star, she is a Bravolebrity. Be clear.” She also expressed that she’s “more than disappointed” in Williams.

— ????? ????? ???? (@GossipInformer) March 15, 2024Leakes gave one possible reason for Williams not wanting to share the screen with her, alluding to her recent divorce filing.
According to the mother of two, Williams was upset with her for not reaching out following her split from her husband, Simon Guobadia, in February. However, Leakes admitted that she didn’t want to invade Williams’ privacy or be “nosy.”
In the midst of it all, Leakes posted an Instagram Story showing her hanging out with her man, Nyonisela Sioh, and Williams’ estranged husband Guobadia — with an unnamed woman.
Williams announced last month that she would be returning to RHOA for Season 16.
