Porsha Stewart dropped a bombshell on the season six premiere of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
The 31-year-old beauty, who is in the midst of a messy divorce, revealed that her estranged husband Kordell Stewart may be on the down low.
“There were definitely times in the marriage that Kordell didn’t necessarily want me, physically, and that made me wonder, what does he want?” she said during a confessional. “When we first got together, I asked him about rumors of him being gay, because family members were bringing it up to me and friends were asking me about it, and he explained it away.”
