“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams is being held in a Kentucky jail without bond after she was arrested during a Breonna Taylor protest.
Earlier today, Porsha and Yandy Smith were among 87 people arrested outside the home of the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron. Many are demanding the Attorney General take action against the three officers involved in Breonna Taylor’s death. He has refused to bring charges despite the growing outrage.
Local reports say Daniel Cameron called the police to have the protestors arrested and removed from his property.

Porsha was charged with felony intimidating a participant in a legal process, disorderly conduct in the second degree, and criminal trespassing. The court records show Porsha has not been granted a bond for any of her charges, which usually means you can't be released. The official records show the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star is still behind bars at the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections.
Porsha is scheduled to appear for an arraignment tomorrow where her bond will most likely be set.
On March 13, 2020, 26-year-old Breonna Taylor was fatally shot by the Louisville Metro Police Department. Three plain-clothed officers executed a no-knock search warrant on her apartment in Kentucky.
As the officers broke into her apartment, Breonna’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker exchanged gunfire with officers believing they were intruders.
The police officers fired over twenty shots and eight hit Breonna. The warrant was in relation to an investigation into two men, Jamarcus Glover and Adrian Walker, suspected of selling drugs. Jamarcus was an ex-boyfriend of Breonna.
The three officers involved, Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove, have yet to be fired or face any consequences.
As The Blast previously reported, Beyoncé has been vocal about the Breonna Taylor case and wrote a public letter to AG Daniel Cameron pleading for charges to be brought.
