An argument in the air involving a TV star Porsha Williams has led to a standard federal review after her Delta Airlines flight landed in Atlanta. No one was arrested, but the federal authority and airline officials said they are evaluating the case.
TL;DR
Porsha Williams was ejected from the plane against her will after she reportedly had a scuffle with another passenger on the flight. According to the police, they were called for a routine check, and there was no arrest. On the other hand, Porsha's lawyers said that she was bombarded with offensive words and that she kept her silence.
After a federal investigation was launched on Sunday, Porsha Williams, one of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast members, was the subject of the probe. According to the authorities, due to the fright, law enforcement officials were forced to meet the aircraft at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Williams' lawyer Joe Habachy, said the TV personality was the victim of an unprovoked verbal attack by a passenger. In an interview with Page Six, Habachy said the other party “verbally assaulted” Williams and then “made false allegations” that are inconsistent with the “several eyewitnesses” accounts. He mentioned that Williams is willing to cooperate with the police and she is strong in the belief that if there is any truth to it, the other party will be charged.
The flight took off after the conclusion of BravoCon 2025, at which Williams was a guest over the weekend. TMZ released footage of Williams smiling and talking to officers after the landing. The clip showed that the people who had the argument did not turn to each other physically.
An FBI representative in Atlanta informed that the agency is looking into the incident and will make a decision regarding federal jurisdiction.
