She went on to back up her point.
"Look at Kenya and look at Porsha. Porsha outweighs Kenya two to one. I'm serious," she said. "They both are beautiful, but Porsha outweighs Kenya two to one. Plus, she's 10 years younger and Porsha is what Kenya wish she was 10 years ago."
Mama Joyce has been outspoken on the show, publicly disagreeing with her daughter Kandi's decision to marry television producer Todd Tucker. Now that she is commenting on someone else's issues, Mama Joyce insists she likes both women involved.
"Kenya is beautiful. I'm not taking that away from her," she said. "I like them both, but hey."
Civil rights group ColorofChange recently blasted the network's is blasting the network's "continued reliance on violent, stereotypical images of Black folks."
"We are deeply troubled by the bullying and the physical violence that took place on the Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion," the group told E! News.
"More alarming than the confrontation itself is the unwillingness of Bravo network executives like Andy Cohen to take responsibility for staging and profiting from a hostile and toxic environment. The fighting is an inevitable result of Bravo's business model and has become a disturbing trend that extends beyond the RHOA cast across most of Bravo's Black 'reality' television franchises."
