Bailey took to an interview with the network to break down what sent her over the edge when she kicked her co-star in the gut during a heated argument.

She confirmed that her first moment came with Williams called her a b****. While the ladies often refer to one another as this term, she said she took it as an insult versus a “term of endearment.”

Bailey went on point out that Williams called her the name when she was going to convince Kenya Moore not to boot Williams’ friend, newcomer Shamea Morton, off of the boat party.

“Porsha and I were having a great time together until we had a breakdown in communication, which turned into a a major misunderstanding.”

She added, “I felt like my friendship with Kenya and my good intentions were being mocked when she called me a b**** in that moment. I perceived it to be disrespectful, whether that was her actual intent or not.”

In the end, Bailey did confess that she “may have misjudged Porsha’s intentions and overreacted.”

She went on to describe the scene that was not shown on camera, that ended with her assaulting Bailey.

“The next thing I knew Porsha was straddling over me. As I was lying down looking up at her, I had a flashback of the physical altercation that she had with Kenya at the reunion. I began to feel threatened, and the situation became uncomfortable. I had to figure out how to protect myself, and my personal space.”
