Porsha Stewart Stays Positive After Divorce Announcement

The Real Housewives Instragrams inspiring words after learning of her divorce in the media.

Mar 28

Porsha Stewart may be down a husband, but The Real Housewives of Atlanta star is keeping her head up.

The self-proclaimed “black trophy wife," whose husband Kordell Stewart recently filed for divorce, tweeted her thanks to her followers yesterday. 

Her tweet was followed by an Instagram of an inspirational saying:

The devoutly religious Porsha released a statement on Monday claiming that she was originally going to file for divorce, but had decided to stay in the marriage and work things out. 

"Mrs. Stewart is disappointed about her husband's recent filing for divorce,” said the statement, attained by People.com. "Mrs. Stewart had held off on filing for a divorce herself and remained committed to the marriage because Mr. Stewart promised to work on the marriage with her. Instead, he misled her and she found out about the filing in the media." 

Porsha and Kordell had gone through some hard times in their marriage. Porsha had suffered a miscarriage once before, and expressed to her therapist that the couple had had some difficulty discussing it. 

Hopefully things will only go up from here!

I did want to say that you need to stop thinking Kenya is always plotting against you.  Believe me she was not planning on kicking you out of the iconic event.She wanted this event to turn out nice for everyone.  Kenya was very nice to invite you to this event and you decided to come as Dorothy instead of BAPS. You and Kenya need to sit down and talk.  Because she thought you were being disrespectful when you called her Miss America.  But the problem with you is that you never let Kenya finish talking.  I noticed that at the re-union you kept interrupting Kenya.

Porsha, my prayers go out for you. I have a daughter and I have been a young lady myself, sweetheart I would never have been content to see my daughter in a controlling marriage like yours. As for me I would never take that kind of talk and action from a man. If people could see how controlling he was from the show I can just imagine what you had to put with in that house, trust me shake it off and move on you are sweet  and seem to be kind but don't be taken for a f**l. God never put more on us than we can bear, please believe that.  Cordell need 5 more children to control you don't marry to control a grown person. On the show he let every one know in a sly way  it was his way or the hwy, that's no marriage that's beening controlling.

Porsha..I liked you from the moment I met you on RHOA.  You are real, down to earth and a pleasure to watch.  Just keep god in your life and all will be well.  He is the fool as he is losing a good woman and person..Also never distress about MS Kenya..aka Ms USA or whatever she is...Beauty is only skin deep but she is very ugly on the inside. You on the other hand have beauty inside and out...Keep strong!

Trust God Porsha! Whom God has joined, let no man put asunder! God alone can restore. Seek His face in all things. I pray Kordell will come to his senses soon.

 I too seem emotionally involved in this couple whom I"ve had a chance to glimpse at on television.  I think they were awesome and showed by EXAMPLE how a real marriage should be.  Yet, I am praying that both can solve their problems the way KORDELL suggested    PRAYERFULLY.  It seems Kordell has come to his GOOD SENSES a long time ago.  I'm Praying that Porsha comes to hers.

Time for your first multimillion dollar successful Book! So he wants to play underhand two can play that game. I would dish on all the behind the door BS and suffering that he didn't want to be exposed. We all play the fool, so cash out on him with public humiliation.

Porsha, this is truly a blessing in disguise!!!! You will see that in time, I promise. If I were you I'd throw myself into working in my late ciivl rights hero grandfather's footsteps, and your pain will fade. Give yourself some time. I look very forward to all the great things you will be doing in the future!

Porsha you are truly blessed! I only wish all Cynthia would have let you sing at her 'pageant'! Cynthia is becoming more and more like NeNe because she has no real personality of her own!! You go girl!! The Divine, in it's infinite wisdom has a better man for you. YOU have arrived. ;)

My days are brighter...and I thank the Lord for this experience because it has strengthened me! You are in my prayers!! Divinely Happy Mommie of 3 left handed beautiful boys!!

This news was so surprising and shocking to me.  I'm so sorry that you had to find out about this via the media instead of from Kordell.  That really speaks to what type of individual he is.  And I believe you, Porsha, will be better off without him. Best of luck to you! 

amber777 857 pts

seriously? Who does that? I am so sorry you had to find out about your own divorce in the media. You have shown yourself to be a true lady and it truly is HIS loss. I started to see him on screen as being a control freak and I watched you sit back and let him tell you how to behave. He came off as a condescending, arrogant boy on TV and how he told you and Cynthia to behave was appalling. He should NEVER have told someone else's wife how to behave let alone his own. While I would have allow my husband to control me the way he did to you, that was your choice to accept it and I hope that you grow from this. Seems like he blindsided you and I am sure you have the strength to rise above his pitiful behaviour.

Porsha:  I thought you looked beautiful as Dorothy Dandridge.  I'm so sorry about your husband and honestly, I'm thinking it's his loss.  How sad that he can't see what a precious jewel you have been to him in the marriage.  I think you truly are one of my most favorite housewives on the show, it was great how you stood up to Kenya at the party.  I was elated when the other girls were right behind you - the nerve of Kenya sending you "out" with two immense bouncers. I could understand her position in terms of her party - but to make their invitation a conditional invitation, i.e. "you either come dressed as I want you to come or you don't come at all"  whoa, that's a party I don't think I'll ever want to attend.  I wish you the best - hope you don't leave the show - you are such a nice addition to the other women on the show.

Porsha....you are so pretty and young and God fearing, I hope you find someone who will love you for you not love you to be a nanny, babysitter for their son....that is why your hubby or ex wanted you to stay home...so that you can watch his son while he went out to play with the boys...wishing you the best

Since the viewing public doesn't see everything all I can say is move-on gracefully.  You seem to be a lovely woman and you are able to stand up to people (Kenya), so I'm sure you'll get through this.

He saw he was losing control and she was beginning to think for herself. TRUTH BE TOLD  any woman who defines herself as a trophy wife got exactly what she asked for to be put back on the shelf when he was finished showing you off. Hopefully while she's back on the mantle she'll realize being a trophy is empty non-fulfilling and would want to mean more to a than being a show piece. Maybe she can use this time to go back to school and realize that there are an additional 100 days of the year that your brain should be working instead of concentrating on the "picture perfect" get some real world skills to make your own money and not live off of other people's accomplishments (including your grandfather's). To not be so superficial and get some depth to yourself. She was taking so much joy in Kenya"s pain maybe now they can bond now that they both have something in common. She'll be alright she was smart enough not to sign a pre-nup lucky enough not to be tied to him for life with a child. Now listen to Wendy this time and fortify yourself and get some real skills that you can put on a resume instead of being proud of living a "picture perfect life" (only in your materialistic world) as a "trophy wife".

@phoeniques so true. She was all about her husband and her (not so) picture perfect life. Porsha took so much joy in Kenya not having a husband and look at what has happened to her. Instead of being supportive of Kenya, she ridiculed and tried to humiliate her. Now the shoe is on the other foot.

I know your heart is broken and your trust tested.  You are such a beautiful young intelligent woman with aspirations. You are the flower that grows full and beautiful.  Many of us saw a different Kordell. You Loved; Blindly.  Kordell comes off too controlling doesn't let you speak your mind he doesn't hear either.  I am shocked at the level he is, low low low.  Be careful you are on the edge of becoming a battered woman. You have every right to enjoy whatever it is you want to pursue. You are an exceptional adoring wife.  Kordell needs to see and treat you as his EQUAL you are not property that he owns.  You should be confident to voice your concerns without fear.  Marriage is two people loving, mediating negotiating etc. Kordell Its 2013 I would FIRE you reason stoic behaviour unbecoming of what we interpret as a true loving EQUAL.

Porsha be strong; this is your time.  We Your Viewer have you in our prayers.  That Kenya stay away from the devils' wife, she is nasty, mean and ugly.  Her Bridge burned down !!!!

Thank God finally. Kordell was VERY controlling and Porsha acted as if this type of behavior was okay, she could never speak for herself he was always speaking for her and very disrespectful and controlling. That is NOT how a marriage supposed to be. It was plain as day he did not want a baby because who in their right mind would say you can't take care of a baby and have a career. Women do it ALL the time. And lastly he went to the media first to announce the filing I mean WHO DOES THAT Seriously only a coward. So with that being said Porsha GOOD For you and PLEASE DON'T Let the next man run your life like that be a little more smarter than that. Men likes strong women NOT no weak woman who just bows down to their every command.

I kind of liked Walter - the fact that he dumped Kenya and would not put up with her antics shows that he might be an okay guy.  I really loved the fishing scene between the two of them.   Kenya is sooooo arrogant, she really thought she had him in the palm of her hand.

Porsha, It appears you have a very good lawyer.  I liked much what I read about his asking for marital home, which includes money to keep it and care for it and alimony for you.  The fact Kordell called you "able bodied and able to work" will play against the hypocrite who was once your husband.  He had the nerve to tell, I repeat, tell you not to work and now wants you to work so he does not have to pay.  Kordell needs to get ready to afford you the lifestyle he demanded that you have while married to him.  A lifestyle that did not include working.  So stay home and enjoy his money as he wanted you to do in the first place.  Now you will be doing exactly as he wanted as long as he continues to pay for it, as it should be.  I am saddened about the ending of any marriage, but in the end dry your tears and hire a lawyer to help you do so.  Stand tall Porsha!  We are rooting for you!

Porsha, I'm sorry that Kordell chose the coward's way out by letting the media tell you he wanted a divorce. You are a beautiful young lady & deserve someone much better than this man. There are other media sites where posts are not nice in what they say about Kordell. I don't think when you both were together that he kept his mouth shut while you were talking. This means he's not at all listening to you as what he is thinking is what he's going to say next. You are young & it seems you have a solid background. The other ladies on RHOA saw this train wreck coming & I'm sorry it had to be you.

bayou.lady 113 pts

We only know what we saw on TV ...and that was edited. Seems she went from wanting to be a housewife/trophy wife to career woman and mom. Kordell is not the one who changed. He never wanted a nanny for his children. Kordell was a celebrity before marrying Porsha. He never wanted the spotlight...she did. I think she chose fame over her marriage. Also, she said loud and clear on TV that if they ever divorced all she wouldn't want his money. She shouted that all she'd want is HER NAME. Guess she changed her mind ...again. well, there are consequences to every decision.

AllyHoward 24 pts

Kordell was nothing but rude and disrespectful to Porsha this whole season. It was very disturbing to watch her be treated like that, and to see the hurt she tries to hide in her eyes... She is a classy woman and I am sure there are many men out there that will treat her the way she should be treated. Shame on Kordell - he is a crappy ball player anyway. Porsha - you are WAY better off without this clown...

Hi Porsha: 

I hope you are reading these posts because I have something that you really want to hear.  Remember this?  The Helmet of Salvation?   You preached it!   Porsha... someone put a video of you PREACHING on a website that I just happened to come across.   My heart rejoiced because you were more articulate in that 8 minute sermon than you were for the entire season of RHOA.   That is not an insult... it is a compliment.   It was a revelation.   God is still right there in the midst just like you preached.  I cannot judge your current relationship with God, but let me tell you this.... let Him use you.   He can even use you on the reality show if you let Him guide you.   I can tell that His Spirit is all over you.  Be submissive to Him, sweet Porsha.  Your present troubles are just a bridge over troubled waters.   In time... sweet Porsha.  In time.

 

May God bless you!

Porsha find someone closer to your own age.  Kordell was too old for you. He was set in his ways and was not about to change for you or anyone else.  It is a shame that he could not see how wonderful you were. You could also see he did not want children.  He had reached an age where his life was about him he did not want to be around a baby or young children. You need to find a wonderful younger man who will love you for you and want to be your partner and a father to your children.

EloiseM 1765 pts

Porsha, unless there are other valid reasons for this pending divorce that have not been aired (thanks for that, because we don't need to know), This should not be happening.  From what I've heard from your lips.......Kordel did not want to do the show, but you convinced him that you wanted to accomplish something beneficial by you two being on it.  Even Kandi told the other crazy domineering women that Kordell said you could be on the show as LONG AS IT DID NOT INTERFERE WITH THE HOME AND YOUR WIFEY DUTIES.  Well you both set a very exemplary example of how a true godly marriage really works.  Thank you for that.  However, somehow I feel you starting allowing this show to interfere with your original agreements and views of women and men in marriages.  This is not good.  Even with all that editing, Kordell came across as a real man wanting to protect, provide,guide,love and honor his wife.  I hope the divorce does not go through and you two work it out for your sake.  This depraved world would like nothing better than to see you falter by taking on their ideal of what a man should sound like and do.  Your husband is a real man.....one not afraid to mention on television how things should work. Not AFRAID to mention "Whatever God allows us to have"  He has always been seen as Prayerful.  However, you have not.  He said you had to PRAY over matters in order to make GOOD DECISIONS.  He has been prayerful.  It's good to see that NOW you are.....Prayerful that is..  I'm pulling for you both and the son who is in the middle of this.

No woman needs a man leading her no man need a woman leading him. Grow the hell up and take responsibility as a 50/50 couple.

Women need to stop using their issues of missing fathers with their men as an excuse for them to guide them, make decision for them, etc.

Use your brain, guide your self, make your own decisions, take responsibility for ever aspect of your life and let a couple works TOGETHER to grow TOGETHER.

Stop being lazy looking for a man or woman to fix your problems, save you, pay your bills,  or pick up when you want to sick back and not make decision for your life.

Porsche, perhaps now is the time to work on yourself.  Find out the difference between pitcher and picture.  Hopefully by now you realize there are more than 260 days a year,  Looks fade but knowledge lasts.  We all feel sympathy for you and most of all that was a low, cowardly way to tell someone you want a divorce!  You will be okay.  You have lots of friend and lots of family to support you.

It is sad that Kordell used the show and your enjoyment of it, as an excuse to file for the divorce. I think that far too many sports figures think that they are the "bomb" and they are bigger than life...., especially football players from a high profile team. Then to have been a quarterback,  the "pretty boy of the team"....what can you expect. Girl, make your money, be happy that there are no babies and see the higher power knew what was best for you. You really are not ready for motherhood. Have your layer check his financila records and be sure to get your share, and let me tell you tis. Kordell is full of SugerHoneyIce Tea.....a coward goes behind ones back. Glad to see him leave the show.

Last and important, watch those “witches” on the Real Housewives of Atlanta…none of them are worth trusting, beware and be careful. Talk to your mamma about “witches”.I
