Angela Oakley suggested Shamea Morton used Porsha Williams to get a role on The Real Housewives of Atlanta after Sunday night’s episode of the show.

After Shamea, 43, and Porsha, 43, were seen having an emotional conversation about their strained friendship, Angela, 43, accused Shamea of being “calculated” in her efforts to remain close to Porsha, despite Porsha’s behavior, as Shamea broke down and walked off set as she discussed their hurtful feud and looked back on the many years she spent supporting Porsha.

“I think Shamea’s playing the long game,” Angela declared on the May 18 episode of the RHOA: After Show. “I think that Shamea wanted to be on this platform, and her friend was on this platform, and so Shamea was willing to put up with Porsha offering or issuing out on the friend side to get what she wanted.”

Angela seemed to believe that Shamea was envious of Porsha’s role on the show and allowed certain treatment to take place if it meant she’d have her own place on the series.

“I don’t take Shamea to be one you can walk over. I don’t take her to be one who can be manipulated. I take her to be very calculated,” she stated. “Her friend got on this platform, and Porsha invited her to be on this platform with her, and then she coveted it.”

Throughout the last few weeks on the show, Porsha’s behavior toward Shamea has been a hot topic amongst the women, many of whom have accused Porsha of being a bad friend.

“That is the stuff that Angela, [Brittany “Brit” Eady], [Drew Sidora], all of these ladies that in their own time have come to me and said, ‘Hey, you always supporting her, you always speaking up for her, she don’t do the same for you,’” Shamea explained. “But I never gave them anything.”

According to Shamea, it was Porsha who opened up their friendship for their castmates to judge.

“That’s on her,” Shamea stated. “I’ve been supporting you and everything Porsha … Anything you want, what your dream is now is mine. I want you to win just like I want to win.”

Although Shamea claimed to have been supportive of Porsha for years, she noticed that the general consensus from onlookers was that she wasn’t getting the same back.

“I’ve gotten so many DMs and messages, and even to those, I still give grace because it’s hurtful,” she admitted as she started to break down. “And the stuff that people have said, ‘I wanted to tell you a long time ago that your friend ain’t your friend, and she don’t want you in this space with her. She don’t want to share this platform with you.’ I need a minute…”

As Shamea exited the set in tears, Porsha explained her thoughts on their falling out as she reflected on their conversation on Sunday’s RHOA and accused their co-stars of pitting them against one another.

“I just wanted to really get into the nitty gritty of what was happening. The worst thing I wanted to happen was now my friend is coming into the group, which I wanted to celebrate is that now me and her are being pent against each other,” she revealed. “That’s what I was really fighting for at that point.”

Following her sudden exit, Shamea was heard on her microphone getting emotional.

“I didn’t want to do this sh*t for the longest time because I was like, I was being respectful of the fact that this is her space. I just wanted it to be okay,” she insisted. “This is your thing. I don’t need this. I’m happy with the life I’m living off-camera … But I thought we could be like, we could show people, like, how great our friendship is.”

The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
