Reality TV ​star Porsha Williams reveals she had to undergo emergency partial hysterectomy: "It all happened so fast"

  • On Friday, September 18, 2026, reality star Porsha Williams revealed she underwent an emergency partial hysterectomy this year after doctors discovered 21 uterine fibroids, one the size of a cantaloupe.
  • Williams, 45, experienced migraines and fatigue she initially attributed to perimenopause. Her fibroid history spans over a decade, including a previous embolization procedure and a miscarriage while pregnant with daughter Pilar Jhena McKinley.
  • The fibroids had grown large enough to close off more than 60 percent of her birth canal. According to the Black Women and Health Imperative, roughly 80% of Black women develop fibroids by age 50, compared with about 70% of white women.
  • After the procedure, Williams told CBS Mornings co-anchor Gayle King her quality of life improved 100 percent. She now focuses on being present with Pilar, describing the child as a 'true miracle.'
  • Writing in Glamour, Williams aims to break the silence surrounding hysterectomies. The star, who currently appears on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, emphasized that fibroids are rarely discussed despite their physical and emotional toll.
