Porsha Williams Arrested for Speeding, Driving on Suspended License

Real Housewives of Atlanta star was briefly jailed following incident.

Porsha Williams has been arrested — again. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star was stopped by police for speeding, TMZ reports, and then cuffed when it was discovered she was driving on a suspended license. 
The reality star was booked and jailed before being released on $1,726 bail. It's not clear if the drama was caught by Bravo's cameras, but if so it would be good for Williams' career. The former wife of NFL player Kordell Stewart was demoted by producers for being too "boring."
Williams released a statement to Dish Nation soon after her release. "I was headed to visit my grandfather who is very ill with cancer in the hospital, and I was pulled over," she said. "I was wrong for speeding absolutely and apologize for putting anyone at risk. I tried to explain the situation to the officer and show him that all my paperwork was in order, but he refused."

She added: "Handcuffs are not comfortable or a good look for anyone. I was released, [and] I have my license, my car, and my freedom."
