Black Twitter cut up after the Real Housewives of Atlanta TV star Porsha Williams called out journalist and talk show host Tamron Hall for her interviewing tactics, yet failed to pronounce “reciprocity” correctly.
A video of Williams fighting to pronounce “reciprocity” while co-hosting The Breakfast Club surfaced online. Williams criticized The Tamron Hall talk show host’s journalistic integrity during the segment. Many social media users felt Williams wasn’t in the position to attack the award-winning journalist when she couldn’t even utter a simple word.
So Porsha challenged Tamron Hall’s journalistic integrity but cannot pronounce reciprocity. For all you airheads trying to steal our jobs, you must be able to read and write excellently and a hell of a lot of y’all can’t do that. Stick to marrying for money or selling sex… https://t.co/1ddyCVKXlV pic.twitter.com/OMInQ6TUj2

Not Porsha “I am in the world of JOURNALISM” Williams not being able to pronounce “reciprocity.” 😭
She didn’t scan through the script before going live? That’s what Tamron would’ve done. 🌚 https://t.co/FQDg0vmTvS

Twitter users reminded the world that Williams was the same person who considered herself a journalist because she worked at Dish Nation, who thought the underground railroad involved an actual train and who said that there were “265” days in a year.
Do you remember when Porsha Williams didn’t know what the Underground Railroad was? #RHOA pic.twitter.com/lRgKGg3ybl

As Sis2Sis reported, Williams, DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God conversed about the interview former Breakfast Club co-host Angela Yee did with Hall, where she opened up about her experience being the only woman among the show’s producers, hosts and camera people.
DJ Envy disagreed with Yee’s comments, posting, “That’s just not true” and “There are plenty of women that work behind the scenes on [The Breakfast Club]” under a Shade Room post.

Envy and Williams believed Hall coaxed the radio personality into making those comments with her interviewing style.
