Online, Williams caught wind of Bush-Harris’ comment, which comes weeks after her co-star, Dr. Simone Whitmore, slammed her for being a “mean girl” and said she was saddened by the shade, considering the cast of “RHOA” has always been supportive of her show, “Married to Medicine.”

During an interview with Page Six, Bush-Harris, who is wrapping up her 11th season on “Married to Medicine,” shared her opinion on the newly rebooted “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast, which features Williams and six other women.

The reality star, who joined the Bravo family in 2013, admitted that she liked the premiere before making an interesting comment about some of the cast member’s looks. “It’s a lot of Botox and fillers,” she said. “Which, I am not mad. I saw Nicki Minaj on there; I saw Lil Kim.”

“That was a lot for me,” she continued before saying the premiere episode reminded her of a “beautiful, Black soap opera.”

On Instagram, Williams replied to Bush-Harris’ statement about the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast and admitted that the shade she threw about their physical appearance made her sad.

“To be honest, the girls from [Real Housewives of Atlanta] has always supported the other black shows on the network, and for me, definitely ‘Married to Medicine’ and to see her as a black woman talk about features and pick apart Atlanta is really kind of sad,” she wrote in the comment section of @TheNeighborhoodTalk’s social media page.

“We may shade one another on our show, but we keep it in-house. We haven’t been out here tearing down someone else’s. Let’s do better. Let’s all win,” she finished.

It wasn’t long before Bush-Harris replied to Williams and seemingly called her out for hypocritical behavior.

“Girl, stop!” Bush-Harris wrote. “You called another Black woman ashy!” referring to Williams’ season five blowup with Kenya Moore. “Not to mention, you were a tad shady to our franchise under a [Phaedra Parks] post. You and I both know how these interviews go. I definitely stated a balanced view of the good and bad. Don’t jump on the bandwagon.”

The reality star and mother of two also clarified her comment about Nicki Minaj and said that she’s a fan of the “Anaconda” rapper. “It’s not an insult to say that these girls are trying to mimic her look with Botox and fillers,” she commented.

Dr. Simone Whitmore is another “Married to Medicine” cast member who has been involved in a minor feud with a “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star. During a previous “Watch What Happens Live” appearance, the OB-GYN and television personality sparked controversy in the Bravosphere when she called Williams the “number one mean girl” on the network.

Her comments didn’t end there, though. Whitmore mentioned Williams’ social media battles with other Bravo stars and her past physical altercation with Moore during the season 6 Atlanta reunion before reminding Cohen that he was present for it.

Williams addressed Whitmore’s statements with DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God on the “Breakfast Club” and admitted she didn’t “understand” what Whitmore was trying to say. “I think Simone is full of it,” she said before slamming the doctor for “lacking as a person individually.”

“When people lack, they try to deflect and come for you,” Williams stated before revealing that she and Whitmore have never met.

In early March 2025, Bravo’s season 16 premiere not only marked Williams’ return but also welcomed several other new and familiar Atlanta personalities to the network.

For their rebooted cast, the network brought many familiar faces back to the group, including Drew Sidora, Cynthia Bailey, and Parks.

They also welcomed newcomers Angela Oakley, Kelli Ferrell, Britt Eady, and Shamea Morton.

Moore, who filmed with the group for the first several weeks before being axed for allegedly showing compromising pictures of her co-star to the group in front of cameras, will also appear in a limited capacity.
