Porsha Williams and Yandy Smith are out here doing the Lord’s work! The reality stars were arrested in Louisville during a protest demanding justice for Breonna Taylor. Deets on their arrests inside....
”Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams and “Love & Hip Hop” star Yandy Smith aren’t fighting on reality TV – thankfully. The ladies have been fighting back at police brutality in Louisville demanding justice for 26-year-old EMT Breonna Taylor. As you know, Breonna was shot and killed in her home by police while she slept during a “botched raid.”
The “RHOA” star & “LAHH” star joined the masses to march and protest in the streets to demand the Louisville police department to arrest the officers who killed Breonna Taylor. The protests they participated in were part of Until Freedom's "Day of Action" across Louisville.
As they were protesting, cops swooped in wearing riot gear and ended up arresting Porsha, Yandy and about 66 others.
