Porsha Williams’ fiancé Simon Guobadia is reacting to rumors that he shadily swiped a previous present from his ex-wife and gave it to the former housewife.

On Wednesday Porsha proudly posted pictures of a shiny Rolls Royce Ghost that CarAndDriver.com reports runs for $398K MSRP.

“The only way you win is if I quit!” Porsha captioned the pics. “#ThankYouHubby #PhotoDump #LivingLife #ThePursuitOfPorsha #RRGhost,” she added.

She also made sure to share pics of the pricy car’s interior that included orange and black trim.

Unfortunately for Porsha, several people pointed out that the car looks eerily similar to a car that Simon’s ex-wife Falynn Pina posted in 2020.

TheShadeRoom reposted pictures of Porsha and Falynn standing beside Rolls Royces and in the comments, several fans alleged that Porsha’s luxury vehicle was actually a regift.

“He has the same taste two years later!” wrote one follower. “It’s giving recycled,” added another.

If you look closely, however, you can see that Falynn’s car indeed does have the matching orange interior—but her vehicle is a two-door.

Clearly privy of the regifting rumors, Simon’s since shut them down via a reshared Instagram story from @HighEndHaulz, the transportation service that delivered the car to his Atlanta mansion.

“Beautiful brand new Rolls Royce Ghost,” @HighEndHaulz captioned a pic of the car being dropped off. “Big congrats!”

Simon later added in TheShadeRoom’s comments that the car pictured alongside his ex is a Rolls Royce Dawn, not Porsha’s Rolls Royce Ghost.

“Nice try folks lol. I’ve owned that 2-door RR Dawn since 2018 and STILL in my garage to this day lol. Love the pettiness though😂😂”

We can’t stop thinking about Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins serving melanin-kissed magnificence at Danielle Brooks’ lavish wedding where she raised the Black Hollywood baddie bar with a series of stunning pics that trended across social media.

Pretty in pink, Jenkins stunned in a gorgeous Cinq à Sept dress alongside husband Darroll Jenkins who posted the couple holding hands at the extravagant affair that attracted beautiful people with amazing energy.

Talented AND fine, the emerging actress/producer known for her roles on “Dear White People” and “Glee” dominated Instagram feeds in a long-overdue moment that introduced her to seas of new fans.

“I’ve always been confident, but I think admiring and acknowledging and loving the fullness of being a woman and all the complexities that come along with that — that’s probably what that feeling is that you’re getting,” she said when asked about her unapologetic confidence in an interview with Hellogiggles.com.

“It’s me loving being a woman, flaws and all, everything that comes along with that, and particularly being a black woman.”

Now, after 4 successful seasons of Netflix’s “Dear White People,” we’re excited to see her shine on NBC’s buzzy new series “Grand Crew.”

A post shared by ABFJ (@ashleyblaine)

#GrandCrew Was One Of The Best Shows I’ve Ever Worked On (You’ll Meet My Character In Episode 8 ☺️). Countless Memories & Laughs! I Want You All To Know That What You See From These Actors, Directors & Writers Is Truly Impressive, But The BEST Part Is That I Can Personally Attest To The Fact That They Are Wonderful & TALENTED Humans In Front Of & BEHIND The Camera. People Like That Are ALWAYS Worth Rooting For💫

Two Reality TV Titans/ Goddesses of GIFs/ Meme Majesties may be joining this season of Celebrity Big Brother and the Internet’s already in shambles.

According to Bravo insider Anthony Dominic, former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes and Flavor of Love alum Tiffany “New York” Pollard might be joining Season 3 of the hit reality series. Dominic, who goes by the name of @AllOverAnthony on Twitter, previously spilled the beans about the cast of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, so fans believe the rumor may be true! Several Celebrity Big Brother fan accounts are also fueling the Tiffany/NeNe rumor.

Now, if the hearsay does turn out to be factual, this would mark NeNe’s long-awaited return to reality TV. The infamous Atlanta socialite left the Real Housewives franchise in 2020 citing contractual issues with Bravo’s producers.

“I can’t tell you everything I want from them, but I can tell you that I want fair treatment. I deserve fair treatment,” she said of the emotional decision during an appearance on The Tamron Hall Show in October 2020.  “I haven’t done anything that no one else has done there or haven’t done even worse. So, I don’t deserve this treatment.”

When asked if she would ever return to the show, Leakes swiftly replied:

“No, I do not [want to].”

Her decision came around the same time that her husband, Gregg Leakes’ cancer became more aggressive. The 66-year-old businessman, unfortunately, passed away in September 2021 after a 4-year-long battle with the disease.

NeNe also previously shut down rumors in 2018 that she would be joining the BB cast and said although she was offered a spot, she declined.

As for Tiffany Pollard, rumors swirled about the “I Love New York” star potentially joining the Big Brother cast back in December, but the reality star said that producers from Big Brother hadn’t been in contact with her.

New York previously made an appearance on the British version of “Celebrity Big Brother 17” and made it to fourth place during the competition, so if the rumor is in fact true, Pollard will have what it takes to compete.

The star has since appeared in a bevy of reality TV series including Season 11 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, where she starred as a guest judge, and Braxton Family Values where she came face to face with her former love obsession Flavor Flav for the first time in six years.

We can only imagine what kind of shenanigans might occur with both NeNe and New York being on the show.  You can expect the new season to arrive sometime next month, so, we’ll just have to wait and see if these predictions are in fact true!

Until then, take a look at the Internet’s reaction to the rumor, even Big Brother’s Derek Frazier of the infamous “The Cookout” alliance has reacted to the news.

Whew… Who else is happy to make it to 2022 in one piece? One thing’s for sure, we couldn’t have made it without our senses of humor! But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let’s have a look back and what we survived.

Just when we thought we’d made it through 2020, 2021 came through with its own special level of absolute ridiculousness. Regardless, together as a culture, we have survived the madness with hella jokes, mad memes and the spirits of our funny a** ancestors. This is “Why Are We Like This.”

In the first part of “Why Are We Like This,” we explore the January 6th insurrection at the nation’s Capitol, Bernie Sanders’ inauguration look, Gorilla Glue Girl, the red flag trend, African-American urges, the rules of engagement for Spades, stacking in Uno games, cancel culture and more! We had tweets, memes, tiktoks, reels, lives, clubhouse rooms and more all about these topics and EVERYBODY had so much to say. Thank goodness too, because those jokes gave us all life!

Check out “Why Are We Like This” below:

Are you a spades player, an Uno player or none of the above? What was your favorite memory from the 2021 trends? Did you take part in the red flag tweets? Which red flag got the most laughs in your group chat? How about the African-American urges? Which African-American urges are strongest for you?

Has anyone checked on Gorilla Glue Girl in 2022? We have questions that need answers!

Former Vogue creative director and fashion icon André Leon Talley died Tuesday at the age of 73, and the world of fashion is still mourning his loss. But a funny thing happens when someone as wise, outspoken, and influential as Talley was transitions—their words live on forever.

A post shared by Andre Leon Talley (@andreltalley)

Talley was blessed with an eye for fashion, a mind for fashion journalism and a thunderous voice that refused to be stifled by America, the fashion industry, the overwhelmingly white world of journalism or the stronghold eurocenticity has on what is or isn’t considered beautiful.

A post shared by Andre Leon Talley (@andreltalley)

Talley was “the first Black man to hold his position at Vogue, and oftentimes he was the only Black person in the front row at fashion shows,” Vogue wrote in his obituary about their “Pharaoh of Fabulosity”, and he could have been content in being the first and one of the few.

You’d be surprised how many Black people have no problem getting one foot through the door and then using the other to kick down the ladder. Talley did his best to use both feet to stomp that door into splinters—which is to say he used his platform relentlessly to promote and push for diversity in his industry.

So to celebrate the man and his legacy, we have compiled 20 quotes from André Leon Talley that should still be remembered and honored long after his death—starting with that time he told America about its dusty-a** self.

1. “So far, it’s been a bleak streak over here in America! You know what? It’s a famine of beauty. The famine of beauty, honey! My eyes are starving for beauty!”

2. “If Marc Jacobs can wear a lace dress, I can wear a kaftan or anything else I want, at any time.”

3. “Wearing clothes should be a personal narrative of emotion. I always respond to fashion in an emotional way.”

4.  “I don’t consider myself a slave to fashion, but a custodian and curatorial person of fashion.”

5. “People love fashion exhibits because they can fantasize. They can respond to a dress even if they can never wear a dress like that.”

6. “I do believe there’s a heaven. I do believe that God has given me the resilience and the survival skills to withstand the chiffon trenches.”

7. “You cannot live your life in the elitist world of fashion and not step out or you’re disconnected. You have to realize that fashion is not the endgame.”

8. “There is room in today’s world for men to wear dresses.”

9. “Beauty is health. Health is beauty.”

10. “People need to be edited; life needs to be edited. I need to be edited.”

11. “I have always admired stylishly confident women who dress with great authority. This lifelong love of elegance began with the humble wardrobe of my late grandmother Mrs. Bennie Frances Davis.”

12. “I like the idea of being warm and secure. That’s what home should be. That you have a sense of warmth, security, love, and you love the things around you and surround yourself with beauty.”

13. “I would have loved to have been at Vogue in the 60s when Mrs. Vreeland was there. But then I wouldn’t have been at Vogue in the 60s because they wouldn’t have had a black male editor at a fashion magazine the way they did in 1983.”

15. “You can be aristocratic without having been born into an aristocratic family.”

16. “Have knowledge of what you’re talking about. Read and be curious. Always listen. Be prepared when you’re doing something. That’s especially true in the fashion world.”

17. “When I have interns, I always say, ‘Handwritten thank-you notes can make a difference.’ People remember that – not an e-mail, a handwritten note in an envelope.”

18. “I love people—it is not the fashion, it is the people in fashion I love.”

19. “I’d like to be remembered as someone who made a difference in the lives of young people – that I nurtured someone and taught them to pursue their dreams and their careers, to leave a legacy.”

And you did, sir. You made a difference for young people and people of color across the world.

Rest well, André Leon Talley, your legacy will live on.
