Reality TV

Porsha Williams is a “Housewife” once more.

The former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star will replace Tinsley Mortimer in the cast of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” Season 3, sources confirm to Page Six.

Mortimer, who departed “The Real Housewives of New York City” in 2020, stepped away from the Peacock spinoff due to unknown “personal reasons,” according to People magazine, which broke the news.

The next installment of “RHUGT” is now set to begin filming in Thailand on July 18 with Williams, who departed the Georgia-based series in 2021.

Page Six has reached out to reps for Williams, Mortimer and Peacock for comment.

The streaming service has yet to officially announce the Season 3 cast, but Williams is expected to appear alongside “Real Housewives of Potomac” stars Gizelle Bryant and Candiace Dillard and “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” stars Heather Gay and Whitney Rose.

Other cast members include Alexia Echevarria and Marysol Patton of “The Real Housewives of Miami” as well as Mortimer’s former “RHONY” co-star Leah McSweeney.

“Porsha and Candiace are expected to clash as Porsha took Monique Samuels’ side in the women’s explosive feud on ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac,’” a source tells Page Six. “There’s going to be a lot of drama to unpack there.”

The Bravolebrities were already filmed packing their bags and are expected to fly out Thursday, People reported.

The first season of the spinoff debuted in November 2021, starring franchise favorites Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Kyle Richards, Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey and Luann de Lesseps in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

It was swiftly followed up by a second season, filmed at Dorinda Medley’s iconic Massachusetts mansion Blue Stone Manor, which premiered in June. Dubbed “Ex-Wives Club,” the season featured Jill ZarinTaylor Armstrong, Brandi Glanville, Eva Marcille, Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson and Medley.

The filming location for Season 2 caused a major rift between Medley and Gunvalson, who called Blue Stone Manor “old” while discussing places to stay.

Medley threw some major shade in response during an episode of her SiriusXM show, “Make It Nice,” and noted the home was featured in Architectural Digest in 2020.

“Well, listen, this is a girl that thinks dancing on dirty tables in a bar at Puerto Vallarta, whatever that place is called, is fun,” she said at the time.
