When It Comes To Love Porsha Has A Pattern

When fans of Real Housewives of Atlanta first met Porsha Williams, she was young, meek, and under the spell of a man. The mother of one didn’t know the difference between Miss USA or Miss America. But one thing was for sure, she just wanted to find her wealthy ride-or-die prince who would take care of her to the end of her days. If you got it, flaunt it and use it to land that rich husband! But instead of her happily ever after, Porsha ended up kissing a lot more frogs than she ever expected to. 

For the most part, she has taken these men, warts and all. But I can’t help but wonder why she essentially goes for the bottom of the barrel instead of a more high-caliber man. Even though love isn’t perfect, Porsha’s pattern of finding a mate has left most followers scratching their heads wondering, “What was she thinking?”

Porsha’s Picker Is Off

Sometimes, a girl’s radar for a good man is just broken, and this might be the case with Porsha. There were so many signs she was going to have a rough ride on the rollercoaster of love. Her current husband, Simon Guobadia, is an alleged government scammer with a messy history. There was no way he was ever going to put her first if it meant sacrificing all he had earned over the years and being left with nothing. At least now, Porsha is out of their union, but this won’t be the last of her abnormal choices.  

Meanwhile, Porsha’s first husband, Kordell Stewart, was a control freak when fans watched the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Throughout their marriage, Kordell was caught telling Porsha she had to choose between a career and a baby because he was “the man of the house.” He acted like he had to hustle while Porsha was expected to be the dutiful stay-at-home wife. Kordell had a hostile and condescending tone as he is a man who believes in clear gender roles. 

Porsha Likes Older Men

Love it or hate it, but Porsha has a clear type, and it’s older men that look like Daddy Warbucks. When Porsha married Kordell, she was only 24 years old, while he was nearly 10 years her senior. They had nothing in common except he probably liked having a pretty girl on his arm, and she liked having a fancy house in Buckhead. Porsha was in the prime of her life, but Kordell just wanted to keep her at home on lockdown.

The same can be said for Simon, who is often mocked online for his age. With a 16-year age difference, fans noted the time he held on for dear life whilst dancing at his own wedding. Other photos have shown the couple on a speedboat, Porsha living her best life while Simon is literally just along for the ride. 

Unresolved Issues

Porsha might have unresolved issues from her engagement with Dennis McKinley after he cheated on her when she was going through postpartum depression. She has a pattern of jumping into the next relationship seemingly as long as the man has some money and shows her a little bit of attention. The moves are always jarring, especially since she usually has little chemistry with her new beau. Simon, for example, very much felt like she was dating her grandfather, not to mention none of her family approved. 

So, while most of the Bravoverse is surprised somehow, I’m also completely not shocked. The news of Porsha’s divorce is the most and least surprising thing ever. From a former NFL star to a hot dog salesman to an alleged Nigerian scammer, Porsha’s range is vast! And I don’t see her changing her pattern of men anytime soon.

Leah McSweeney’s Lawsuit Against Bravo Explained

Real Housewives of New York Season 12 added a new face to the mix of seasoned OGs with Leah McSweeney. The mother of one was spunky and had energy for days, which was great for embracing her co-stars when she talked about sex or ran around Ramona Singer’s pool naked and flailing around tiki torches.

But her antics got boring real quick, and after two seasons Leah wasn’t asked back. The business owner tried to manufacture drama and be relevant, particularly when she brought in her friend, Eboni K. Williams. While she had entertaining moments, especially in her first season, she just wasn’t RHONY material. Instead of falling back into the shadows gracefully, she is the latest Bravoleb to smack the network with a heavy lawsuit. 

Leah Sues Andy

News reports revealed Leah was suing Andy Cohen and Bravo for discrimination. She alleged the culture promoted alcohol and drug use. As a recovering alcoholic, this was not the kind of environment Leah should have ever been in. So why did she sign up for it? Every Bravo personality knows they are signing a deal with the devil for their 15 minutes of fame. It’s pretty much common knowledge that the crazier you act, the better chance you have at staying on your show. 

Via People, Leah filed a civil lawsuit in the Southern District of New York. It named Andy, Bravo Media, NBC Universal Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, Shed Media US, and producers John Paparazzo, Lisa Shannon, and Darren Ward. The 109-page document claimed that the defendants established a “rotted workplace culture where employees were pressured to consume alcohol.” Leah also noted in court docs that the network failed to maintain a safe working environment and accommodate her disabilities. This included her “alcohol use disorder” and “mental health disorders.”

Leah Makes Strong Allegations

Leah also shared that she had broken her nine years of sobriety but was sober when Season 12 was filmed. One of Leah’s biggest claims is that producers knew about her alcohol disorder because she confided in them. Leah shares in the paperwork that she felt discriminated against, noting producers were “intentionally planning scenarios intended to exacerbate her disabilities to create morbidly salacious reality television.” Perhaps the biggest bombshell was claiming that Andy “engages in cocaine use with Housewives and other ‘Bravolebrities’ that he employs” and has a “proclivity for cocaine usage with his employees.” The paperwork noted that “Cohen tends to provide the Housewives with whom he uses cocaine with more favorable treatment and edits.” 

Leah Speaks Out

The former Real Housewives of New York City star took to her Instagram to comment on her lawsuit in a lengthy post. In what felt like a cryptic note, Leah wrote, “This is not a story I ever thought I’d be telling; in fact, I was petrified to speak on it and warned not to.” Leah went on to say, “Your favorite Bravo shows are run by people who create a dangerous work environment, encourage substance abuse to artificially create drama, and cynically prey on the vulnerabilities of their employees.” 

Leah signed off by writing, “Some of the stories and incidents that are detailed in the lawsuit have been shown in edited form on TV or reported in the media, but many have not. And there will be much more that comes out once the people involved are questioned under oath. Today, I am taking back my reality.” These are strong words from a former Housewife, but she isn’t alone. 

More Lawsuits

Caroline Manzo has sued, alleging she was sexually assaulted and harassed by Brandi Glanville. In her lawsuit, Caroline claims the network and producers sacrificed their cast members’ safety for their own ratings and profits. Not to be left out, Brandi has claimed she was sent a video from Andy telling her he wanted to have sex with another Bravo star in 2022. Honestly, I don’t know what is going on in the Bravosphere, but if any of these claims or lawsuits are true, there needs to be a cleaning of house. 

TELL US – DO YOU THINK BRAVO IS GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS THEIR MULTIPLE LAWSUITS, OR WILL THEY STAY QUIET?
