Porsha Williams is breaking her silence about a troubling incident on a Delta Airlines flight, involving the FBI, and she’s making it clear that it was more serious than it initially appeared.
The 44-year-old star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta had just finished her time at BravoCon in Las Vegas when things took a turn for the worse. On November 16, as she boarded her Delta flight, Porsha encountered an aggressive passenger who unexpectedly targeted her.
Her attorney, Joe Habachy, explained that Porsha was “verbally assaulted by an irate and unhinged passenger without provocation.” There was no argument or misunderstanding. Just outright disrespect in a public space.
Things escalated when the aggressive passenger made false accusations that contradicted the accounts of several witnesses. Many passengers on the flight reportedly supported Porsha’s version of events, which has led to a federal investigation.
Yes, a federal investigation. When conflicts occur in the air, they draw the attention of law enforcement agencies. The FBI’s Atlanta office has confirmed it is “aware of the incident” and is currently assessing the possibility of federal charges. Porsha is fully cooperating and remains confident that the passenger involved will face charges, according to her lawyer.
For those who saw the viral videos of Porsha being escorted off the plane by officers in Las Vegas, it was simply a standard procedure; she wasn’t in trouble. When an altercation happens involving passengers, it’s protocol for everyone involved to be questioned. Delta Airlines also stated that the flight continued to Atlanta without issues, and both passengers are being reviewed in this incident.
Though Porsha hasn’t shared much beyond her attorney’s comments, it’s likely she’ll address her fans directly when she feels the time is right, and when she does, everyone will be listening.
