Porsha Williams Talks Current Relationship With Claudia Jordan While Kenya Moore Says She Misses Claudia
During Porsha Williams’ appearance on Andy Cohen’s talk show, Watch What Happens Live, on Sunday night right after the airing of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Porsha was asked if she still sees Claudia Jordan. Porsha replied that she has no contact with her former co-star.
“No, I don’t see her actually at all. No, I didn’t see her when she was here and I don’t see her now.”

When Andy asked Porsha if Claudia was still at Dish Nation, Porsha said that Claudia was fired from that job. Porsha clarified that Claudia worked for Dish Nation as one of its radio hosts. Porsha herself still works as one of the hosts of a syndicated TV show that airs on weekdays.
Porsha and Claudia had some drama with one another during Season 7 and it’s not surprising Porsha has no contact with Claudia now that they don’t have to film together. In Season 7, during the cast’s trip to the Philippines, Claudia claimed that Porsha was dating a wealthy and married businessman from Africa for money and gifts, a charge that Porsha vehemently denied. When Claudia repeated her claim during the reunion show, Porsha said that she would never be married to a man because she knew what it was like to be cheated on. Claudia retorted that Porsha once admitted to her that the relationship was true after drinking too much.
While Porsha is likely glad that Claudia is no longer on the show, Kenya Moore is not. In response to a viewer who asked her if she’s happy with the cast change, Kenya replied that she’s not. Kenya has made it clear that she thinks Claudia should still be on the show.
Absolutely not @claudiajordan was good for our show and I miss her presence #RHOA https://t.co/uRDUN5A88g

Claudia thanked Kenya for her support and by saying she misses her, as well. The two women will apparently be meeting up in Los Angeles soon, where Claudia now lives.
Thank you @KenyaMoore I miss you ladies as well but we'll have to do another Vegas trip soon. See you in LA! ? https://t.co/uxoN40rONc

Claudia later thanked her fans from the show for their love and support via social media.
Thanks for all the love from the #RHOA fans! I read all your comments and tweets and appreciate you guys! XOXO #VerySweet #Humbled

Claudia Jordan was a starring housewife on Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. It was reported that Claudia was originally hired to appear on the show only as a recurring housewife but was promoted midway through filming after she got into a very heated argument with NeNe Leakes. Producers apparently liked how Claudia didn’t back down when faced with NeNe’s fury but rather hurled insults right back at NeNe.
While Claudia was promoted to a starring housewife for Season 7, Porsha Wiliams was demoted to a recurring role. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Andy Cohen said that Porsha’s demotion had nothing to do with her physical attack on Kenya Moore on the Season 6 reunion show. He explained that the producers simply didn’t get enough material from Porsha to merit her holding a peach. When it was confirmed in September that Porsha would be featured in Season 8 as a starring housewife, she posted a tweet that celebrated her return.

In June, after it was reported that Claudia was fired from the show after only being on it for only one season, Claudia, via a Facebook post, denied that NeNe had her fired. Claudia also said that she didn’t get the chance to have much of a personal storyline because she was brought on and filmed much of the season only as Kenya’s friend.
“Keep in mind I wasn’t ALLOWED to have a story line for most of filming. i started as Kenyas friend-then more than half way thru they gave me a peach so there was no filming time left to get my full story… simple math.”
Claudia Jordan actually appeared very briefly on Sunday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. While she was shown attending Kenya Moore’s hair care launch party, no footage was aired of her talking to any of her former co-stars, not even Kenya.
