The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Porsha Williams Announces Her Pregnancy!

The ladies were in Tokyo during Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Porsha Williams realized it was time to reveal her pregnancy to her co-stars.  Porsha wanted to make the reveal special, so she learned the phrase “ninshin chuu” for the big occasion, but everyone else seemed dazed and confused at what the 37-year-old was saying.  “It means… I’m pregnant!” as she drew attention to her stomach by rubbing it. “My baby is coming!” The ladies, including frenemies Kandi Burruss and Eva Marcile, were surprisingly happy about the news.  “Honestly, I don’t know how long Porsha was going to be able to hide it because she is definitely popping, front and back, at this point,” said Cynthia Bailey who led the charge with the biggest grin.  “All shade aside, Porsha’s going to be a real good mom,” added Eva in one of her most genuine confessionals yet.  “I am super excited for Porsha right now because regardless of my opinions and thoughts about her relationship, I am happy that she is finally going to be able to be a mother,” said Kandi. Elsewhere in this emotional episode: Kandi was gearing up for her Dungeon Pary and variety show, so she shot a full-length commercial for the event.  Eva appeared at the taping with the aim of throwing Porsha right under the bus, but Kandi had some grievances of her own with Eva.  Kandi’s issue was that Eva seemed to want to play both sides at the best of times, but Eva said that she was “trying to stay on the yoga mat with a white flag up.” It’s bad that Kandi even had to explain that, but we need to remember here that Eva is still a relatively new addition to the cast.  More than anybody, Kandi knew that picking a side was must in any scenario or else you run the risk of being ousted by the others.  We jumped back in time to the ladies meeting up at the airport to kick-start the trip, and the reception between most of the ladies was frosty.  After the flight, it emerged that Marlo Hampton’s baggage was lost and that she would probably be spending most of the trip with nothing.  At the hotel, Kandi was not impressed with the food, prompting Cynthia to say “If Kandi’s not eating, something is wrong.” Eva subsequently went on to try clear to patch things up with her co-stars so that the trip was not marred by all of the drama.  “I don’t know why Eva has anything wrong with being shady,” Porsha added.  “I’m not a stunter. I’m the one that stunts,” explained Porsha. Things took a heartbreaking turn when Eva got a phone call from back home to let her know that her grandfather had a heart attack and would probably be dead soon.  It was a freaky turn of events, and the ladies rallied around Eva to help her in her time of need.  The Real Housewives of Atlanta continues Sundays on Bravo.  View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 11: All the Secrets… EXPOSED!

Ashley Martson Returns Home After Kidney Failure, Sends Message to Fans

Ashley Martson is back at home after a very serious health scare. As previously reported, the 90 Day Fiance star was found unresponsive at her home a week ago, prompting an emergency hospital visit due to her kidneys failing. This was a result of Martson having been diagnosed with Lupus, an auto-immune disease that can damage various parts of the body. (Selena Gomez, for example, also suffers from Lupus and actually underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 as a result.) On Saturday, however, Martson provided fans with an update on her condition, confirming she was resting comfortably at home and thanking anyone who donated to her GoFundMe campaign. (As of this writing, the campaign, meant to cover Ashley’s “unexpected medical costs and loss of income,” had raised $3,860.) “I am so thankful for your help and kind hearts,” the reality star wrote on Instagram over the weekend, continuing as follows: “You guys are truly a blessing and I will forever be grateful for each of you. All the cards and care packages sent made me smile and tear up at the same time. “Sometimes I loose [sic] faith in humanity but you all reminded me that there still is kind and compassionate people in this world. “Thank you again from the Bottom of my heart.” Concluded Martson in this message: I will continue to be open about my battle with lupus and if you don’t like it or feel I’m seeking attention then kindly unfollow. This disease is horrible and I want everyone that is going through it to know they’re not alone. Martson, who previously was in the news because her husband admitted to cheating on her as soon as the couple got married, originally broke the news of her hospitalization via a photo of herself in very bad shape. She was open and honest at the time by writing: I’m sorry if this photo offends anyone but I will not hide that I’m sick. If I can help one person with lupus then posting this is worth it. I was found unresponsive this morning at my home. The Ambulance took me to the hospital where it was found that I am in acute kidney failure due to lupus. I will begin dialysis shortly. I will not let this beat me. I know I’m strong enough to battle through this,not just for myself but for my kids. I will be transferred to another hospital this evening that is better equipped. Please pray for myself and my family as I know it’s going to be a very tough road ahead for all of us. Thank you for your continuous support and prayers Despite her recent operation, though, the TLC personality is determined to live her regular life again. “Finding the strength to get out of bed and get to my daughters game is rough,” she wrote on Instagram Stories on Sunday, January 20. “I will not miss her game no matter what!” Will Martson need to undergo a kidney transplant at some point? It’s possible. For now, she simply went through dialysis in the hopes this procedure would help the kidneys repair themselves. Jay Smith, who has definitely been disloyal to his wife and who appears to suck in most aspects of life, did rush to be by her side in the hospital, however. He also publicized this effort. “I may have hurt you. I may have not been a good husband. Jumping on a plane the second I found out you was in the hospital was something I didn’t even think twice to do,” Smth wrote on social media last week, adding: “We have our differences but as long as I have life I will never let you sit alone and suffer. I love you and nothing will ever change that. Thank you for having me here to support you.” We wish Ashley Martson the best. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Most Shocking Scandals Exposed!
