Hi, ashes! Porsha Williams returning to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta ”for season 16

Who said that?!

And suddenly, all is right with the Housewives universe.

Well, that will never be true, but at least things are beginning to feel whole again now that one of the G.O.A.T.s is returning.

Porsha Williams Guobadia has announced that she will be back clutching a peach on the next season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Williams Guobadia shared the news on X (formerly Twitter). "Who said that? Porsha Williams coming back to Real Housewives of Atlanta," she says in a video. "That's false. But Porsha Guobadia is in the building. (*hair flip and cackle*) See y'all!"

Porsha was referencing one of her many iconic moments, the notorious "Who said that?" from season 9 of RHOA when the ladies were discussing someone accusing recently departed Housewife Kandi Burruss of being a closeted lesbian.

It was Porsha. Porsha said that.

Williams Guobadia starred on RHOA from seasons 5 to 13 but left the show of her own accord — as opposed to being fired or "put on pause" like most women who leave the fold — in September 2021 following her buzzy marriage to Simon Guobadia.

Guobadia appeared on the 13th season of RHOA as the husband of "friend of" Falynn Pina (formerly Guobadia). Their marriage came to an end shortly after the season aired and Guobadia was engaged to Williams before his divorce to Pina was finalized.

Still, Porsha remains a fan favorite of the franchise, thanks in particular to the growth she exhibited during her run on RHOA, going from the ditzy wife of ex-NFL player Kordell Stewart to coming into her own as an activist in the latter seasons.

The woman who once thought the Underground Railroad was an actual railroad eventually found herself profiled in The New York Times for her activism. And that's why she's one of the best Housewives to ever do it. You just don't get that kind of emotional arc with just anyone.

And it's safe to say that if Bravo is rebooting RHOA for season 16 — and they should because it's about time — they're going to build it around Porsha, who was still no stranger to the Bravo-sphere even after her 2021 departure.

Last year, Williams Guobadia appeared in The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, as a last-minute replacement for RHONY's Tinsley Mortimer. Williams Guobadia also recently placed third on the reality competition series Stars on Mars.
