The ‘RHOA’ castmates’ bitter feud has become one of the long-standing storylines of the 17th season of the long-running Bravo series.
The back-and-forth between Shamea Morton and Porsha Williams throughout the current season of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reached a breaking point.
During the July 13 episode of “RHOA,” the cast went on a trip to Scotland, where Morton and Williams, former best friends, took their dispute to a new level. At one point, Morton and Williams exchanged deeply personal accusations, including their mothers. Morton accused Williams’ mother of allegedly pursuing her father. Williams countered by accusing Morton’s mother of having an affair with her husband’s brother.
The incident got so heated that Morton apologized to the other women, telling them that their trip was not the place for her and Williams to air their grievances.
On Sunday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” Morton admitted her fault in the argument.
“The timing wasn’t good. I definitely shouldn’t have brought it up at the dinner,” she told Cohen. “It just came out. I was so fed up. It was festering for so long.”
She added, “The dinner was not the appropriate time to do it. That’s why I apologized to the ladies for the timing of it all and for making them feel uncomfortable.”

The argument caused ramifications back home for Morton, who said her mother was “rightfully” hurt by the comments.
“That I apologize for,” Morton said. “Because they shouldn’t have been involved in it anyway. And this wasn’t something that happened that night; my mom was brought up last year. I thought we were moving on from it.”
Morton, who was a recurring cast member on the show for several years, joined as a full-time member of the Housewives this season. When asked three things she missed about her friendship with Williams, she didn’t hesitate to tell Cohen her thoughts.
“We cut up real bad when we acting silly and outside,” she began. “The relationship with her daughter and her sister and … just the ability to be able to text if I’m going through something or need some advice or need a laugh.”
The feud between the two took a new turn during Season 16, when Williams accused Morton of dishonesty and of scheming against her. The two also argued on whether Williams was genuine about celebrating Morton’s wedding in Africa and her becoming a full-time peach.
