In season two of Rip Current, we ask, who tried to kill Judy Berry and why? They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods. She received death threats before the bombing.
Starting point is 00:02:27 She received more threats after the bomb. I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement. Episodes of Rip Current Season 2 are available now. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm a home guard that knows a little bit about everything in everybody. You know if you don't lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot. Back on the ground.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Hey y'all, what's up? It's Lauren La Rosa, and this is the latest with Lauren La Rosa. This is your deli dig on all things, pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room. So Portia Williams, Real Housewives of Atlanta, star Portia Williams. Everybody loves Portia. That's our girl. Revealed that she is dating. I would say reveal for the first time, but it is not the first time.
Starting point is 00:03:16 A few months ago, during CultureCon, Portia actually told us that she was dating. She says she was dating a man and a woman. Let's take a listen. So the people who I'm talking to now, it's just two. I'm narrowed it down to two. Okay. And he is nice and she is nice. You both.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah, so this was October 4th. And it is now, you know, a little bit after Thanksgiving, beginning to December. So at that point, it sounds like Portia had been dating these people for some time. She knew them in the situation well enough to speak about it in a way where she said, you know, these people basically challenge her. And they come with substance and fullness. And that doesn't sound like somebody you just are like casually dating here and there. Somebody new to your life, if I'm being honest with you. This sounds like a person who was actually making you think twice about yourself, your decisions, how you show up in a relationship.
Starting point is 00:04:15 And honestly, paying attention to how they show up in a relationship because you might want something more serious. Well, Portia has showed us what she wants to be more serious because, baby Porsche popped out with her new girlfriend this is a entrepreneur I'm told she's from Atlanta her name is sway and she and her twin are really big in the ownership business of real estate and beauty business when it comes to salon suites and very successful at that and I will say that like one thing about Porsche Porsche is not dating anybody that don't got nothing to bring to no table okay Porsche brings the table baby she makes sure they pull it with a cafe tear you're full of them and I'm not mad at her I am not mad at her at all at
Starting point is 00:04:58 Porsche's age and you know experience and all the things I don't even age but because Porsche you know push a little good as hell all the time but with everything that Porsche has accomplished in her life let's just think about these last like what like five years alone right the star of Porsche Williams has risen so much y'all crazy if y'all think she deserved to be dealing with anybody else that can't like match her fly when it comes to physically. But I mean, to each his own, you know, people find personality cute as well
Starting point is 00:05:29 too. But I mean that in a sense of like, you know, how they're able to provide and to do for her. And, you know, I posted a video exclusively of Porsche celebrating the birthday of her new boo in Atlanta over the weekend. I was told that there were like 200 plus guests there, beauty professionals
Starting point is 00:05:47 and execs and CEOs from all over because as I told you, Portia's new boo and her twin sister are entrepreneurs and really big in the investment space. So it was a good time. But Portia was that celebrating. And y'all had a lot to say in the comments. So let's say get to the streets in the tweets, okay?
Starting point is 00:06:06 Let's get into some of these comments. All right. So I heart Miko, love Miko. She says, these men are so sassy. You might be better off with a stud. Somebody got to act like a man. I love this for my friend. She's talking about Portia.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Ladies, F the rules, date them. all until you find the one that's not embarrassing. Female or male, Yolo. Okay, so there's another comment here that says don't believe any of it. At Portia for real is working on a storyline for the next season of Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Someone else commented said Portia might have met her match. This one got fans too. Oh, laugh aloud, it's going to get good y'all with the popcorn emoji. Someone else said, Relevance is a powerful drug. Miss Underscorety said Portia knows where the money resides.
Starting point is 00:06:51 clock it. So basically, I mean, it's divided. It's like you got the people that are like, all right, bet. Portia is to me, she is such like the fun friend. Like she's fun, she's flirty. She's cute as hell. She's figuring it out. She's having a good time. But I think because people get to see her life so much and get to see her, you know, with her child's father, Dennis, that not work out. People felt like she moved fast in that relationship. And then she's with Simon and that did not work out and people felt like oh that was your friends you know husband and then you moved in which I did a story for TMZ some years ago about how that wasn't true how they weren't ever really friends production of Real Housewives of Atlanta just made a scene
Starting point is 00:07:36 that way check it okay yeah did that but then you have people that feel like this is all just for a storyline and why do girls always decide that they want to date women publicly after they've been through hell and high water with a man i personally feel like even if portia didn't have the cameras i think she gives me the type that you know she's going to do all the things she wants to do in her life until she decides what she wants to do whether it is me with a woman for the rest of her life uh a man for the rest of her life she wants to try it all to figure it out and i also think too y'all don't get portion of grace but when we met portia on Real Housewives of Atlanta, she was young and she was married.
Starting point is 00:08:21 It wasn't a good situation at all, but she was young and she was married. And since then, Portia has been serious in monogamy with, like, it's not like we've seen Portia out here just dating a bunch of random people. Every time we've seen her pop out with someone, it's been to the point where it's serious, right? And I think as a girl who's experienced a super serious relationship and then went into the dating scene. I mean, I didn't date girls. But I kind of have a grace for women who are just like, I want to date what I think I like and figure out if I like that, if I like this person,
Starting point is 00:08:59 the way they treat me, you know, if whatever, like, whatever my preference is, not even when it comes to, you know, gender, but just like how I'm treated, how I'm careful, how I'm talk to. You got to get out there to figure that out. And I think when you're young and you're in such serious situation so young you don't get that chance and i i do believe from personal experience y'all don't give women the same chance to do that like y'all don't like i don't know why so many people are bothered by portia and her choosing to date anybody because that's just not let's not just make it about it being a woman right or however porcia's boop however porcia boob identifies because that's another thing as well too we don't even know that but
Starting point is 00:09:44 let's make this about Porsche dating anyone in general. It could have been a freaking alien that came down the earth and decided they were purple because Portia. Portia and purple. Y'all would have still been upset. It's this thing of like once you're in a relationship and it's in the public eye,
Starting point is 00:10:00 it has to work out. You don't have, and I get it, I understand that too. I feel like, you know, with Portia being a real housewife and giving so much of her life to the public, that comes with a lot of judgment and backhanded compliments, observations, feelings, and opinions. A lot people are making feelings or observation and opinions based on experiences they've never been
Starting point is 00:10:18 through and based on things that would never do themselves. And I think, you know, she's had to have gotten to a place where that doesn't really bother her per se because she still continues to put it out there when she's serious about the situation. But y'all, the girl has been in nothing but marriages. Let her do her little one too. Okay, have her fun. What is the issue here?
Starting point is 00:10:38 Because it's not just because Portia is dating a woman or however her new boo identifies. Poor she could be dating this wall behind me, y'all would still be upset. Please tell me why. What were some of the memories from your U.S.O. tours? Nobody knew who I was, and they were like, why do we have to say hello to this guy? Recently on the Good Stuff podcast, we sat down with our friend Bradley Cooper to talk about family. What is the good stuff to you? I mean, of course it's my daughter.
Starting point is 00:11:07 His deep friendship with host Jacob. He was there when I found out that I was going to have a baby, which was incredible. I remember that You showed me the picture You're like, what's that mean? And I was like, oh my God Did you ever tell the clinician story on this? Which one?
Starting point is 00:11:21 Well, they're the handcuffed. Oh, dude. And how they've been there for each other Through the hard times. You know, I've been lucky enough to have dealt with some issues early on, you know, relatively early on in my life
Starting point is 00:11:31 and I was able to sort of walk Jacob through some stuff. Yeah, next month I'll be eight years cleaning silver. You were a big time part of that. I leaned on you real. of you, I think times that you knew and times you didn't know. Listen to the Good Stuff podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:12:49 But since there's no such thing as a slow newsday, we also talked about the end of the government shutdown, a resolution he helped facilitate and one that has elicited a lot of anger from his constituents. To put 42 million Americans at food insecurity and not pay our military, that is absolutely the wrong approach to fight for health insurance. Listen to next question with me, Katie Couric on the IHeart Radio app,
Starting point is 00:13:16 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Lama is a spirit. It's not just a city. I didn't really have an interest of being on air. I kind of was up there to just try and infiltrate the building. It's where Kronk was born in a club in the West End. Four World Star, it was 5'5.9. Where a tiny bar birthed a generation of rap star.
Starting point is 00:13:36 where preachers go viral and students at the HBCU turned heartbreak into resurrection. How do you get people to believe in something that's dead? Where dreamers brought Hollywood to the South and hustlers bring their visions to create black wealth. Nobody's rushing into relationships with you. Where are you from? They want to look in the eye. Where the future is nostalgia. I'm talking to chat at GPT. She's like, you really the first lady to have a gayful girl's tape in Atlanta, Georgia.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Like, that's what separates you from a lot of people. And I'm like, oh what? She liked. Atlanta doesn't wait for permission. It builds its own spotlight. I'm Big Rube. Let us guide you through the stories behind Atlanta's most iconic moments. Listen to Atlanta is on the I-Hard Radio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. May 24th, 1990, a pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Berry's car. I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded. I felt it ripped through me with just a a force more powerful and terrible than anything that I could describe.
Starting point is 00:14:39 In season two of Rip Current, we ask, who tried to kill Judy Berry and why? She received death threats before the bombing. She received more threats after the bombing. The man and woman who were heard had planned to lead a summer of militant protest against logging practices in Northern California. They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods. The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one industry. in the area, but more than it was the culture.
Starting point is 00:15:06 It was the way of life. I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement. Episodes of Rip Current Season 2 are available now. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, I have reached out for more details. I'm trying to figure out how long they've been dating. When Portia first revealed this information that they were dating it, this was a thing. this was a thing, and I mean the second time around.
Starting point is 00:15:37 So the first time it was in CultureCon back early October, the second time around, she posted up holiday photos around Thanksgiving in front of the tree all booted up. So I'm like, okay, let me know what's going on. Did they spend the holidays together? Have they met each other's families? Like, where are we right now? I was also told, too, from a source that Portia does start out dating a man
Starting point is 00:16:01 in the beginning of this upcoming season of Real Housewives of Atlanta, and I'm trying to figure out does new boo, does new babe pop up on this season? What's tea? What's giving? Or did this get this official after the camera stopped rolling? Or are the cameras still rolling? Because I feel like they rolled through throughout the winter until like the summertime. But there were no cameras with her at this birthday party.
Starting point is 00:16:21 So we'll see. But that also don't mean anything either. Because the way Real Housewives of Atlanta will grab some video from the people that was there, from Instagram, from Fredio photo. Shout out to him. He helped me with the photo assistant, an exclusive video. sure you go check that out on the brown girl grinding page we took y'all right into the birthday party with portia williams you never know but we'll be back with all the details of course thank you guys
