Porsha Williams is still grieving her cousin Yolanda “Londie” Favors who died suddenly while on the phone with Porsha’s sister, Lauren.
On Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Porsha discussed Londie’s death with co-star Phaedra Parks. Porsha explained that Londie was on the phone with Porsha’s sister Lauren when she passed.
In a scene at Phaedra’s house, Lauren said, “I’m just numb. We’re like sisters. We grew up… we were babies together.”
Porsha said she is still “going through a lot emotionally” months after Londie died in August 2024, just 2 weeks shy of her 35th birthday.
“Dealing with the loss of my cousin Londie… I’m going through a lot emotionally while being there for my family. She meant so much to all of us. So it’s pretty difficult,” Porsha said in a confessional on RHOA.
Londie worked closely with Porsha on the current season of RHOA. She also appeared on RHOA spinoff Porsha’s Family Matters, which ran for one season on Bravo in 2022.
RHOA viewers slammed Porsha for being “mean” to Londie on the show. They recalled how mean she was to Londie on her spinoff series.
One person wrote: “I will never forget how she made her cousin cry on her show, Porsha Family Matters. [Londie] was bawling her eyes because you was mad at her and cussing up a storm. Now she dead and you want to show grace.”
Another viewer wrote: “Hope Porsha treated her better [in real life] than she did on her spinoff show… she talked down to her… told Dennis [McKinley] to fire her as his assistant… she wasn’t nice to her at all.”
A third person commented: Porsha is full of crap! The fake love and tears like Bethenny Frankel when her ex Dennis died. She pretended they were still together and were engaged.. Phony people suck!”
