"Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member Porsha Williams was arrested during a protest in Louisville demanding justice for the death of Breonna Taylor, according to Entertainment Tonight.
Williams posted video at the protest on Instagram. Her fiancé Dennis McKinley and sister Lauren then posted video of her being escorted away in handcuffs.
"She has always been fearless," Lauren wrote. "You mess with her people, you mess with her. She takes the case of #breonnataylor personally, and she's sacrificing work, time with her loved ones, and her comfort to make sure the offenders are held accountable for their actions."
Taylor was shot and killed in March when the Louisville cops broke into the wrong home.
Williams also attended a George Floyd protest in June in Atlanta and was hit with tear gas.
"Yes, I took some gas and to my eyes, and I had to have milk and water poured in my face. Listen, I'm all right, I'm all right," Williams told ET. "And everyone else who's out there fighting the good fight, they will also be all right, but it has to be known, it has to be demanded, that we are able to peacefully protest.”
Williams’ grandfather was civil rights leader Hosea Williams, who created Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless and died in 2000.
She has been on “Real Housewives” since season three and is also a host on the syndicated gossip show “Dish Nation.”
