Porsha Williams might have had the most glamorous mug shot ever taken, but the fight that got her there was anything but glamorous and now she is defending her actions against Kenya Moore who she says she felt was threatening her with a “weapon.”
The epic Real Housewives of Atlanta brawl occurred when Williams had had enough of Moore taunting her and she leapt across the stage anddragged Moore to the ground by her hair.
"I had regrets immediately after,” Williams told Access Hollywood Live, admitting that she was shocked by her own actions at the beatdown.

“It didn't take for me to get home to watch it. It was--as soon as it happened and I opened my eyes, I realized what had happened and to just walk you through it from the beginning to the end. We have to go back further than just the reunion...”
But she says her actions were justified.
“I see the wand so I'm sitting there this is a wand, what is she about to do with that,” Williams explained.
“Then I realize she's using it as an extension of her arm, so I'm like ok cool as long as she doesn't bring it over here, I'm fine.. I saw the hate. I saw the anger. I saw all of that in Kenya's eye that moment. And I felt threatened, honestly I did, it was a weapon.”
