After a video of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member Porsha Williams was released, where she made comments about the LGBT community, another cast member Cynthia Bailey remarked that Williams needs to keep her story straight. 

Bailey said Williams was wrong to make the comment and then to perform in gay clubs, TMZ  reported. 

“To put gays and lesbians in the same category as drug dealers, hookers, and people who attempt suicide is ignorant and insensitive. Especially when she just recently profited from performing at a popular gay club in NYC,” Bailey said. 

 Williams is said to have performed at El Morocco on May 2, 2014. 

The video where Williams condemns the gay community dates back to 2010 where she spoke during a sermon at a church in Georgia. 

TMZ then posted an update with an apology from Williams who claimed that the video was edited and the sermon’s message was omitted. “I apologize that those words hurt the LGBT community, my fans and my supporters. Life is a journey and I’m growing every day,” Williams said, according to TMZ.
