'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Star Porsha Williams Briefly Jailed For Excessive Speeding and Driving With a Suspended License

Porsha Williams landed behind bars ... again.

The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star was pulled over by police in Atlanta Monday for allegedly speeding. The reality star was driving 78 mph in a 55 mph zone on a suspended license, TMZ reported.

Williams was released after posting a $1,726 bond. She released a statement to Dish Nation addressing any rumors regarding the arrest.

"I was headed to visit my grandfather who is very ill with cancer in the hospital, and I was pulled over," she said in her statement. "I was wrong for speeding absolutely and apologize for putting anyone at risk. I tried to explain the situation to the officer and show him that all my paperwork was in order, but he refused.

"Handcuffs are not comfortable or a good look for anyone. I was released, [and] I have my license, my car, and my freedom."

In April, Williams turned herself in to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office for battery misdemeanor charges related to her fight with "Housewives" costar Kenya Moore during the show's reunion taping. She was released after posting a $2,000 bond.

"Cast member Kenya Moore sought out the warrant and, although the claim is unfounded, Ms. Williams is fully cooperating with investigators and looks forward to clearing her name," a representative for Williams said at the time.
