Weigh In: After Seeing The ‘RHOA’ Reunion Fight Who Do You Think Was Wrong? Do You Think Anyone Should Be Fired?

For weeks now fans of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ have been anxiously waiting for the season 6 reunion to air. With word of the first ever reunion physical fight, the anticipation grew even more and finally last night (April 20) viewers and spectators were able to see what all the fuss was about.

After a long standing rivalry with Kenya Moore since the beginning of their joining the cast together last year for season 5, things have gotten pretty heavy between the former miss USA and Porsha Williams. At times things came extremely close to getting physical but it all finally came to a head last night.

After arriving to the taping with a scepter, challenging Porsha to spell the word, pointing it in her face several times, repeatedly calling her stupid, and then to cap it off suggesting that Porsha had cheated on her now ex husband Kordell Stewart and shouting it in her face with a bull horn, enough was enough and the ‘Flatline’ singer snapped.

Now with Kenya pressing charges against Porsha for assault, and Porsha stating that she will also come after Kenya for aggravated assault things are not looking good for the possibility of any reconciliation. After seeing everything with your own eyes now, who do you think was at fault for the incident? and rumors have been circulating that Bravo producers are looking to let go of Porsha due to the fight. Do you think that Bravo is right or wrong, specifically seeing that there has been multiple incidents of violence on the other ‘Real Housewives’ shows and those cast members were not reprimanded and definitely not fired.

Kenya also released the following statement last night regarding the incident:
During the taping of the Reunion Episode for the Real Housewives of Atlanta, I was violently attacked by Porsha Williams. The episode, which aired tonight, Sunday, April 20, 2014, was taped in front of an audience of over 50 people, which included cast, crew, guests and executives, who served as witnesses. I called 911 to report the incident. The Atlanta police conducted an independent investigation, which included viewing the raw footage of the incident. As a result, Porsha Williams was charged with battery. The authorities will decide her fate, not me.

There are many inflammatory statements made by cast members to and about each other particularly during the reunion tapings. Many have made untrue, denigrating, disparaging, and inflammatory statements against me in an attempt to provoke me, but I have never reacted in a violent way. My intellect and my brain are my most powerful weapons—not my fists. If people get so angry that they lose control and admittedly “black out” and resort to violence, those persons must be held responsible for their actions. Being a cast member on a reality show does not absolve people of their rights.

After being repeatedly attacked by an abusive boyfriend at the age of 17, if someone puts their hands on me, I will not just let it go. With that said, I sought self-defense training developed for the Israeli military. I’ve also been trained in weapons. I can take someone down in three moves. It took discipline for me not to respond in kind. As violent responses escalate, they can quickly result in severe injury or even death.

Being the second Black woman to be crowned Miss USA, there are little girls who look up to me. I would never want those girls, my nieces, or my future children to see me fighting anyone. That’s the lesson we should all want to send, especially to young people—that no matter how angry someone makes you feel by what they say to or about you, violence is never an option. ‪#‎stoptheviolence‬
