*Porsha Williams was arrested Tuesday while attending a peaceful protest in Louisville, Kentucky, in honor of Breonna Taylor.
She was arrested alongside “Love & Hip Hop: New York” star Yandy Smith-Harris, who documented the arrest on her Instagram page.
According to TMZ, Williams’ activism and arrests protesting Taylor‘s death will be heavily featured on the upcoming season of “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
Porsha was arrested in July during a Breonna Taylor protest outside the home of Kentucky’s Attorney General. She was facing a felony charge but it was later dropped.

“Production sources tell TMZ … producers want to shine a light on Porsha’s fight for social justice as much as possible in the new season, because Bravo knows viewers would be riveted by Porsha’s commitment to racial justice,” the outlet writes.
Taylor, 26, was shot eight times while sleeping in her bed with her boyfriend Kenneth Walker when three plain clothes officers performed a no-knock arrest warrant at her Louisville apartment on March 13.
One officer was fired months after the incident, none of the officers involved have been arrested or charged.
Williams also posted photos and videos from her arrest on Instagram, writing, “SAY HER NAME ? #BreonnaTaylor.”
Porsha spoke with ET in June about protesting in the wake of the police-killing of George Floyd.
“The message that we have is not going to die, it’s not. George Floyd will not have died in vain,” she told ET at the time. “Breonna Taylor will not have died in vain, and the other people who have been victims of police brutality will not have died in vain.”
Floyd was an unarmed Black man who died when a white police officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for nearly ten minutes as he repeatedly said he couldn’t breathe. His death was captured on video that quickly went viral and sparked national and international protests.
“It awoke something in me that I knew was there,” Williams said of the video. “[The video] ignited what was in me to want to fight for real change and to understand that I need to be with my people, with our allies, side by side, and fighting for real change and justice for George Floyd’s family, and for the other families who have been victims of police brutality.”
