This time, it’s the divorce of Kordell Stewart and Porsha Stewart, star of Real Housewives of Atlanta. I know, I know. Since I started watching this show like yesterday, I won’t stop yapping about it. Bear with me.

So, those that watch the show know that Kordell Stewart is controlling – although he says that he isn’t controlling, but is in control (yeah, okay). And we also know that Porsha has been talking about wanting to have a baby and Kordell doesn’t seem to think that she can handle both. She has to pick between having a career or having a baby. How does that even make sense? Pause. Did you notice how relieved he was when Porsha’s pregnancy test came up negative?
Porsha isn’t my favorite housewife, as some of the things she says and does leave me scratching my head, but she’s a beautiful and intelligent interesting woman, and I’m sure she can handle both. Anyway, word on the web is that Kordell filed for divorce on March 22nd in Fulton County, Georgia, citing that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” Oyibo! Na English you speak. But I have to give him props for not citing the usual: irreconcilable differences.
What that means basically is that he doesn’t want to do again, and no amount of begging and cajoling will make him to do. He has finished doing. They got married on May 21st 2011, so it’s barely even been two years, but this one has hit the rocks. While I’ve never been on reality TV, I really don’t think that a couple’s marriage or relationship should be that public. I’m so private that sometimes, Igwe doesn’t even know what’s going on in our relationship. He doesn’t know that he doesn’t know, so that works for us both. I wish them both the best.
Meanwhile, Porsha says she is disappointed that her husband filed for divorce, and she only found out about the divorce via the internet. She says that she was committed to their marriage, and that Kordell has misled her into believing that he would work on their marriage. If this is true, then that’s just mean.
Personally, I think Porsha is too submissive and her husband is too dominating and controlling. Do you think being on television caused their divorce? Or do you think the divorce was inevitable?
P.S. Phaedra is currently pregnant with her second child and will be due in May. Congrats!
P.P.S. I have to confess: I do have another Housewives-related post coming. But it’s short, I promise. Pardon me. *runs away and hides in the corner*
Whenever I watch the RHOA, I feel like she should just dye her hair blonde (not that I’m calling her dumb) because she does act like one sometimes. I believe there’s more to this story and poor Porsha was submissive towards her husband’s controlling habit because she viewed it as one of her marital duties. She should have done what majority of the women married to rich men would have done; which is have twins and stayed at home for 2yrs then returned to work or divorce his ugly,controlling, loud-mouth ass. At least she’ll be entitled to child & spousal support. But there was no prenuptial agreement signed anyway so how much is she entitled to in a marriage of 22months.
KC, it’s unfortunate that things turned out this way. She’s a 31 year old girl; hopefully, she’ll be smarter the second time around. He was definitely controlling, but she was a big enabler. That’s why he could talk to her and treat her the way he did, like he was her daddy or something.
