Former RHOA cast member Porsha Williams filled in as a guest co-host on The Breakfast Club this week, and during the topic regarding Angela Yee appearing on Tamron's show where she claimed she opened up about her time on the show, Porsha weighed in on her experience on the show, and had some harsh words for Tamron.

Former The Breakfast Club host Angela Yee appeared on The Tamron Hall Show to discuss her departure from the Power 105.1-based program. Hall asked Yee about being the only female voice on the radio show.
“I was the only woman who worked there too. I mean when it came to producers, camera people, and it wasn’t an easy room for me to be in,” Angela Yee told the Daytime Emmy Award winner.
Yee continued, “I feel like I did need more backup because even things that I felt, as a woman – if somebody can’t understand your point of view because they’re not coming from where you come from. So that was hard for me too, to be the only woman there.”
Current The Breakfast Club host DJ Envy responded to Angela Yee’s comments on social media and in a video interview. Envy wrote on Instagram, “That’s not true… There are plenty of women that work behind the scenes on [The Breakfast Club].”
In addition, The Breakfast Club covered Angela Yee’s sitdown with The Tamron Hall Show during the “Rumor Report” segment on Monday. Porsha Williams, serving as a guest host, shared her take on the entire ordeal.
“When we talk about women being in the room and power women having a seat at the table, you have to talk about what that means to the people in the front. The people in the front, those are our back people, the people who hold us up,” said the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star.
Williams continued, “That’s where [Angela Yee] let down the entire Breakfast Club. If she probably had of chance, instead of talking to Tamron, she would’ve been able to expound on that. But when you have someone like a Tamron talking to you and she’s giving you accolades and raising you up to do nothing but set you up to say something that’s gonna be catchy and she can look like a journalist, then that’s when your find Angela in this place trending for the wrong thing.”
In addition to being a reality show star, Porsha Williams worked as a media personality on the tabloid television news series Dish Nation. Williams also wrote The Pursuit of Porsha memoir which she promoted on a November 2021 episode of The Tamron Hall Show.
“It’s a hidden mess,” answered Porsha Williams when The Breakfast Club‘s Charlamagne Tha God asked if Tamron Hall has leaned into being “messy” in order to replace the gossip-centered The Wendy Williams Show on daytime television.
Williams added, “I went on Tamron’s show and I was so excited. She’s a beautiful Black woman who branched off and got her own show. I did not necessarily feel supported on her show… I didn’t expect her to agree with everything. But there was a turn where it turned just from her asking questions about the book to her kinda almost attacking me, almost making me feel like I had to justify anything I had going on. It just didn’t feel good.”
In response, DJ Envy admitted he felt uncomfortable during his appearance on The Tamron Hall Show with his wife, Gia Casey, last April. Envy also revealed he spoke to Angela Yee about her remarks on The Breakfast Club to clear up the matter. Yee clarified her viewpoint on her own Way Up With Yee show as well.
Once again Porsha comes out sounding like the only fool instead of making logical sense. On one hand Tamron will give you your flowers when it's warranted. She'll also ask you those questions the people want to know, and from what I saw Porsha was dodging them questions like Neo dodging bullets.
The people wanted to know if you refused to close your legs to the married man you ended up marrying. The people also wanted to know how close your friendship really was to Fallon before you ended up with her ex Simon.
Tamron also wanted to know if a date was set on your wedding, which Porsha didn't have a clear answer on. She said she was dating her fiance. You don't date your fiance. You marry your fiance. Once you get married you can go on dates with your husband, but you don't date your fiance.
Porsha wanted someone there to kiss her ass and throw some softball questions her way, and she thought because the interviewer was the same race and gender as she was that she was going to get an easy ride.
Journalists are all about getting to the truth of the matter. So if you want some personality that's going to kiss your ass and hide their shady questions behind imaginary callers, go pay your good Judy Andrew Cohen a visit over at his clubhouse.
