What a difference a year makes! When Porsha Stewart, 32, joined The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast in late 2012, she was quickly labeled as the most passive among a gaggle of strong personalities.
Married to former NFL quarterback Kordell Stewart, she alienated her fellow castmates by giving Kordell final approval over almost everything in her life, from visiting a strip club to pursuing a career. But that was last season. The new Porsha may have been blindsided by divorce papers last March, but after finally putting pen to paper in December, it’'s safe to say she'’s a changed woman—and she’'d be the first to agree.
