Kenya Moore hinted at her past convo with Shamea Morton when Kenya and Porsha Williams were “not cool.” The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum suggested that Porsha and Shamea had a “relationship of convenience” and “jealousy,” as Porsha wanted to be “the queen.”
On the current season, Shamea finally joined the cast, though she had been a ‘friend of’ Porsha’s for years. As the season unfolded, cracks formed in the longtime friends’ alliance. In the past, Kenya herself feuded often with Porsha, but they seemed on better terms at the start of the season – before Kenya was asked to stop filming.
“I’ve known of Shamea since Shamea was first on the show,” said Kenya on her Life Twirls On Youtube series. “But Shamea and I have gone back and forth plenty of times, at least several times that I know of, because of her rocky relationship with Porsha.”
“A lot of you guys may not know, I’ve actually had a conversation with Shamea a long time ago … when Porsha and I were not cool. Everything that I know about their friendship, I’ll just tell you, I never felt that Porsha was supportive of her being on Housewives,” Kenya added.
“They had asked Shamea to be on Housewives as a [full-time] housewife years ago. And Shamea refused to do it or could not do it. I’m not really clear about the details … I remember a specific conversation being filmed where Shamea brought up something. Maybe it was her wedding. Maybe it was Porsha not being supportive of her. But I remember Porsha saying something to the effect of, ‘Why are you doing this? Why are you over here? … Do you need the money that bad?’”
Kenya hinted that Shamea was “shocked” by Porsha’s words.
“The gist of the conversation was [Porsha saying], ‘Can’t you just let me have this – and you go over and do what you need to do? But this is my platform. You need to go and either be my support system – or go away,’” Kenya added. “I just remember thinking, is that a friendship – or a relationship of convenience? … What I see is jealousy. What I see is somebody putting their foot on somebody’s neck and saying, ‘You stay down there. I want to be the queen of this.’”
