Porsha Williams Guobadia Career
Williams started a daycare center when she was 24 years old, saying that she was inspired by her parents’ jobs. Williams also posed for an Atlanta Dymes “pin-up” calendar in 2005. Bravo revealed in September 2012 that Williams and Kenya Moore would be the new housewives on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and its fifth season.
Williams’s relationship with her husband got worse throughout the sixth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. In December 2013, Williams was criticized for saying things on an episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta that made it sound like she thought the Underground train was a real train line. Later, she said, “It was a brain lapse.” You’ve seen Porsha come out in public before on the show. I knew I needed to learn more about my past so I could do a good job of carrying on my family’s name. She also joined the cast of A Mother’s Love, Burruss’s stage show.
On March 17, 2014, she put out her first song, “Flatline,” on the iTunes Store. Later that month, Williams got a lot of attention from the media after getting into a fight with Moore while filming the reunion for the sixth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Moore hinted that Williams had been cheating on her with another man while they were filming the reunion special at the Biltmore Hotel on March 27.
Williams attacked Moore after she called Williams a “slut from the ’90s” and Moore called Williams “a dumb ho” from a speaker. Moore later said, “We’ve become angry with each other, we’ve threatened each other, and we’ve gone to the edge.” He meant that Moore would leave the show if Williams didn’t stay. We know there’s a line, though. Williams was pulled over on December 29, 2014, for speeding while his license was suspended. He was released the same day.
Fox confirmed in September 2015 that Williams would be back as a main cast member, along with new cast member and actress Kim Fields. It was revealed on January 28, 2016, that she would be on The New Celebrity Apprentice, which has also been called The Apprentice 15 and The Celebrity Apprentice 8. Williams told everyone on September 19, 2018, that she was pregnant. On October 1, it was said that she was going to marry businessman Dennis McKinley.
The proposal was shown on February 17, 2019, and it was part of Season 11 Episode 15. Pilar Jhena, their daughter, was born on March 22, 2019, and was shown on her first spin-off show, Porsha’s Having a Baby. Williams and McKinley broke up for a short time in June, but by August 2019, they were back together. Williams left the thirteenth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2021 to star in Porsha’s Family Matters, a spin-off show that ran for one season.
Following the death of George Floyd, Williams has become an activist. The New York Times called him “a crusader against police violence.” There were 87 people held outside of the home of Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron on July 15, 2020. Williams was one of them. She was asking Cameron to put the police cops who shot Breonna Taylor in jail. When police told the group that staying on Cameron’s land was against the law, Williams and others were charged with criminal trespass, intimidating a person involved in a legal process, and disorderly conduct. The next day, she was set free. Williams’ autobiography, The Pursuit of Porsha, came out in 2021 and has been praised by fans.
Williams had a role in the third season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in March 2023. She filled in for Tinsley Mortimer, who was on The Real Housewives of New York City.

Porsha Williams Guobadia House
In January 2022, Porsha and Simon moved into their beautiful $7 million which was built in 2018. It sits on a two-acre piece of land. It’s about 50,284 square feet and has a beautiful hybrid Mediterranean style. There are five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and a home gym inside. Moreover, every inch of it exudes a casual, understated elegance that fits their lavish lifestyles. It has a large yard and an outdoor pool.
From the outside, the house looks like a beach resort that’s been in the sun all day. White-painted brick walls, arched windows, and a soft red roof give this house a classic look that will never go out of style. A white-paved path through the front yard’s lush plants goes to a large glass door. This home has a swimming pool, an outdoor sitting area, and a room in the backyard with a big screen for watching games or movies during the warmer months.
Moreover, there are two big, bent white couches and a round brown coffee table in the living room. Sunlight coming in through the big windows makes the room feel light and airy, and the royal blue curtains add color to the mostly white room. Porsha kept her kitchen’s color plan all white as well. Two walls are made up of wooden cabinets, and the third wall has a window. Blue upholstered chairs line the edges of a rectangular island in the middle. The kitchen and eating room are then linked by a trim doorway. The dining room walls have a modern charcoal black paint color, which is different from the kitchen. There are cream-colored, plush chairs on either side of a black marble table, and golden lights hang above.
A home office makes sense for Simon and Porsha because they are both business owners. But unlike most home offices, theirs is huge and has a lot of empty rooms. The neutral gray walls make the golden details that are spread around the room stand out. The couch, chairs, rugs, and thick curtains are some of these. An interesting piece of art is propped up against one wall, and blinds with a geometric pattern hang over the windows next to it.
The tall ceiling is an interesting architectural feature that adds drama right away and makes the office look fancier and bigger than it is. The white walls, cream ceilings, and gray floors in Porsha and Simon’s master bedroom give it a modern look. The curtains, rugs, bedding, and coaches are all off-white, as are all the other furniture. The lack of color makes this part of the house stand out against the rest of it.
