'RHOA's Porsha Williams Has Always Been a Bad Friend to Shamea Morton

Porsha Williams is one of those polarizing figures on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She's never been a villain, but she's found herself in some horrendous situations. She's never truly been the character you rooted for, but she's had her shining moments. But when it comes to her long friendship with Shamea, many fans have felt that she's never treated her as a good friend. Now that the two are on equal footing, it's time to see how the friendship will be tested.

Porsha Williams Skipped Shamea Morton's Wedding

At the start of Season 5, Porsha became one of the new additions. Thanks to her arrival, Shamea tagged along. While she was primarily introduced as Porsha's friend, whether having guest or "Friend of" status, her support was towards Porsha. That being said, viewers learned that Shamea had a long-standing friendship with Kandi Burruss. Over time, some might say that Kandi was always the better friend to Shamea. And it all starts and ends with Shamea's engagement party and wedding.

With rumors swirling, accusations hurled, and Shamea about to make a monumental change in her life, when Porsha did not show up to Shamea's engagement party, the red flags were waving. With Kandi and Porsha not seeing eye-to-eye at the time, Porsha was a no-show at the engagement party hosted by Kandi. Surely, Porsha didn't want to put herself in an uncomfortable situation with Kandy, but this is your best friend! Step into the room, pass off a gift, take a photo, and go. It's the gesture that matters. Not showing up is a sign of betrayal.

Now that Shamea is moving on up, she's getting the glory of pre-season buzz. Even if it means appearing alongside her friend Kandi Burruss on her YouTube chat series, Speak On It. During their three-quarter of an hour-long chat, the former peach-holder tried to push Shamea to drag her friend and full-time costar. Now, whether she was playing into being civil leading into the new season or if she genuinely has love and admiration for Porsha, Shamea revealed that her long-time friend was not only supportive of her interviewing for a promotion, but she was happy for her once it became official. Shamea knows that being on equal footing may allow for a different dynamic between them. She knows they can celebrate their friendship through a full story, as she did reveal that she felt as if she didn't have a voice during her tenure as a "Friend of."
