BravoPorsha Williams may no longer be a full-time Housewife. But that doesn't mean fans have seen the last of her on Bravo.
"It's not goodbye, you will see me on the show throughout the season sharing and bonding with the other women," she said in a statement to E! News. "I promise to stay connected with my fans as I start an exciting new time in my life."
Earlier today, E! News exclusively revealed the first trailer for season seven. While NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks, Kenya Moore and Cynthia Bailey will be returning for another year, Williams will come back as a "friend of the Housewives."
"After a long season of filming and giving my all, I was blindsided by the announcement from the network that I was demoted from ‘Housewife Status,'" she said. "Unfortunately, I can only be PORSHA, and portraying anything else would not be genuine nor honest."
Williams, who has a new gig on DishNation and is working on a new album, recently joined the cast for a group trip to Puerto Rico. They traveled to the tropical destination to celebrate new castmember Demetria McKinney's birthday.
Although we're not sure what drama went down abroad, the new trailer gives a hint at what's to come during the season. Williams is seen confiding with Leakes about her reported feud with Claudia Jordan. The newest Housewife appears to be getting a little too friendly with Williams' ex-husband, Kordell Stewart. Drama!
Last season, Williams also made headlines when she got into a physical fight with Moore during the show's reunion. After pulling her hair, Williams was asked by host Andy Cohen to leave the taping.
Through all of her tribulations, Williams remains grateful for all her fans and for the opportunity Bravo has given her.
"This is the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and I will be giving my fans & supporters another chance to watch my growth as I take on the world in my own special way very soon!" she told E! News. "Stay tuned."
The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres Sunday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. on Bravo. Fashion Queens kicks off its new season at 11:30 p.m. that same night.
