During a special "Watch What Happens Live" after the third and finale season 6 "Real Housewives of Atlanta' reunion episode, Porsha Williams said being arrested for her attack of Kenya Moore and going to jail "was the worst moment of my life."
She said she did deliberately try to look good for her mug shot though she did get a lot of unwanted attention from male prisoners during her brief time.
Porsha apologized for her behavior that day and hopes she and Kenya can come to an understanding.
"I'm human," she said. "I make mistakes. I want to apologize to the whole cast. That's not something I'm proud of. When I look back, I wish I had taken another option at that time." She blamed being "under that type of provocation and bullying and the props and those things that were pressuring me at the time, that's what ended up happening, the camera is there to capture who we are."
Cohen did say there would be no more props on the reunion shows.
[Next week: a one on one with Kenya!]
Other bits from Porsha:
On her breast implants: Porsha didn't really say why she got them or who paid for them. But she said "I love my body... I'm just owning all my curves.
The man helping her pay the bills:Not surprisingly, post Kordell, she's quickly found a wealthy benefactor, "a special somebody in my life" though she is "not claiming him yet." She wouldn't say who he was but shooed off rumors Andy Cohen brought up that he was a 42-year-old African dictator. Whoever he is, he's providing a Rolls Royce and, in all likelihood, the new breasts. (While "Real Housewives" is giving her a nice salary, it's clearly not enough to live a Rolls Royce/fake breasts life.)
On Apollo and Kenya: "I definitely think something inappropriate took place. I do. There's so much smoke, something is there. It may have happened a couple of years ago. She may have wanted to keep it going."
Her ditzy "Porsha Moment" of the year: Thinking the Underground Railroad involved an actual train was her blunder of the year, possibly worse than saying there are 265 days in a year. She is not a terribly educated woman, we've quickly figured out. Kenya said during the reunion that Porsha shamed black folks considering her civil rights family lineage. Porsha admitted she was embarrassed but said, "Nobody is as hateful about this girl Kenya."
Gay or not gay? She claimed she never said Kordell was gay outright but as Andy said, she implied it heavily. She just wondered why he never wanted to have sex with her. Hmm...
Why she settled: She just wanted to move on. Why fight it?
On Kordell complaining about her family on the show: Finding out how much he hated her mom 'was worse than divorce. My mom has been there for us in that marriage since day one."
Life after divorce: "It feels good. Some days it doesn't feel so good. But I'm living on my own and living my own truth."
On talking about Kordell's physical abuse and showing it in her music video: "Artistically, I put my feelings out there."

The third reunion episode, with the guys joining in part of the hour, left us without nearly as much compelling material as the past two weeks. It was an expanded 90-minute episode and even hardcore fans must have felt how tiresome it was by the end.
So here's a quick summary of what we learned, with NeNe all kinds of defensive:
- Not surprisingly, Apollo Nida had nothing to say about his bank fraud and ID theft case. Instead, he used his time to mock Kenya for using him as a storyline. "I've sustained your career for two years," he said. Kenya refused to say anything beyond, "I'm done rolling with pigs."
- NeNe Leakes clearly was offended that Marlo Hampton became friends with Kenya but refused to admit it.
- Kenya accused NeNe of having a history of controlling everyone around her. "She's nothing but a dictator... She's controlling. She's manipulative."
- Kandi Burruss did not appreciate NeNe on a blog insulting her mom. NeNe refused to apologize. "I said what I said," NeNe said.
- NeNe did apologize for acting like such a jerk at Kenya's charity event. She then mocked Kenya for how little money the so-called charity event made. So she asked Kenya to pick a charity and they both would write $20,000 checks to it. Kenya chose the Detroit Public Schools Foundation. (Did they end up doing so? Who knows?)
- Cynthia said Peter has made an offer to buy Bar One and it was accepted. I'll have to check that.
- Phaedra said she's a very private person on a reality show and admitted it was an "oxymoron."
- They rehashed the night of the pillow talk fight. Kenya said she felt like she was physically abused when Christopher grabbed her arm and didn't feel she was provoking anything. Apollo did not apologize for getting in the middle of it. He said he was simply trying to stop the fight.
- NeNe apologized with a snarl about calling Brandon a "queen" in a derogatory way after the fight she thought he provoked. She only apologized because Andy was offended but it didn't seem sincere at all.
