RHOA Stars Morton and Williams Face Friendship Struggles

ATLANTA, Ga. — Shamea Morton, a new member of the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA), recently opened up about her complicated friendship with fellow star Porsha Williams. In an interview with Angela Yee in March, Morton expressed her feelings of frustration over what she perceived as a one-sided friendship.

“I try to be the best friend that I can be to my friends and hope that it’s reciprocated,” Morton said. “And when it’s not, there’s only so much I can do about that.” Her comments come as the latest season of RHOA began airing, revealing tensions between the longtime friends.

The difficulties between Morton and Williams seem to stem from various personal factors. While Morton has embraced her full-time role on the show and is settling into marriage with a wealthy partner, Williams is facing challenges from a contentious divorce with Simon Guobadia.

Morton revealed that instead of confronting Williams directly, she voiced her concerns to co-star Angela Oakley. This included feelings of neglect regarding Williams’ absence at Morton’s wedding in Kenya and past rumors about their friendship.

<p“When I shared my feelings with Angela, she brought this information to Porsha, which left Williams in tears,” Morton said. This indirect approach left Morton feeling vulnerable, and during an event, she confronted Williams about her frustration.

<p“I love Porsha, and I consider her like one of my sisters,” Morton expressed during a confessional. “That sh-t hurts.” Her feelings of betrayal were exacerbated by her belief that Williams should have communicated with her after receiving information from Oakley.

In the midst of these discussions, tensions remain high, and each woman has acknowledged the breakdown in their communication. Williams responded to Morton’s discomfort with a curt, “Thank you for your grace,” highlighting the growing divide.

As the season progresses, both Morton and Williams are faced with the challenge of addressing the underlying issues in their friendship. Their journey reveals that long-term friendships can often face trials, especially under the public eye of reality television.

Ultimately, both women need to confront their feelings directly if they wish to repair their friendship. As Morton noted, “Closed mouths don’t get fed,” emphasizing the importance of open communication in maintaining relationships.
