Reality TV star Porsha Williams went from TV drama to inflight drama, and from gossip blogs into the FBI’s inbox. She was met by police in Atlanta and escorted off a Delta Air Lines flight from Las Vegas Sunday night as she returned from BravoCon 2025.
Video shows her walking off at the gate in a fur coat and Uggs, accompanied by an officer and pausing to talk with him in the concourse.
The FBI’s Atlanta office says it is aware of an incident on a November 16 Delta flight allegedly involving Williams and an altercation with at least one other person, and is evaluating whether federal charges are appropriate.
- We know there was some kind of dispute serious enough that crew documented it and had law enforcement meet the aircraft. It’s been described as a ‘heated incident’. But apparently nobody filmed it.
- Everyone from delta, to Atlanta police to the FBI point fingers at each other for comment.
Under 49 U.S.C. § 46504, it is a federal crime to assault or intimidate a flight attendant or pilot in a way that interferes with their duties or limits their ability to perform them. Conviction can mean fines and up to 20 years in prison—more if a weapon is involved. It seems likely that reported behavior falls under the federal interference statute.
She had spent the weekend in Las Vegas as part of the BravoCon 2025 lineup — one of the “reality royals” on site for panels, photo ops, and fan Q&A. She’s known for her divorce and deportation saga. Her highly publicized split from Simon Guobadia was finalized in June. She accused him of not being honest about his immigration status. He was later detained by ICE and deported to Nigeria. In October she acknowledged “talking to” two people in her dating life, one man and one woman.
Williams was arrested in 2014 and charged with misdemeanor battery after an on-camera altercation with co-star Kenya Moore during a reunion taping.
Oh, Gary, nice citing of 49 U.S.C. § 46504 with the hyperbolic ’20 years in prison’ maximum sentence. That is far from likely to happen here. Seems like a relatively nominal disruption that’ll amount to nothing. Where was § 46504 when all those anti-maskers literally attacked crews?!
The entire premise of these ‘real housewives’ shows is basically on-air ‘defamation’ and attempted ‘battery.’ If there wasn’t that salacious content, why would anyone even watch? It’s all an act. Perhaps, this whole incident was designed just to get attention; maybe her own PR team put her up to it (‘Hey, start a fight; great for ratings!’). After all, we live in that era and economy, don’t we…
A more civilized people would criminalize “reality shows” outright, with prison terms of up to 20 years for creation, participation or distribution.
Evil television star on evil television show flying evil airline. At least everything fits. A good hose-down with holy water should help.
