RHOA star Porsha Williams’ ex Kordell Stewart slams Kenya Moore’s claim his former wife was his ‘beard’ in new interview
KORDELL Stewart has shut down the rumor that his ex Porsha Williams was his beard, a claim that "nearly destroyed his football career."
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star recently spoke of the scandal on the Tamron Hall Show, where he slammed the allegation as false.
ventured to ask if the show itself had an "impact" on his marriage, to which he replied: "No, no, no. When we were married, that never was the impact at all. That was true love at the time.
"But once you get on the show and things are starting to be insinuated from the conversation about a 'beard' to me being controlling, it becomes a whirlwind of things."
The host then asked if Kordell regretted throwing himself into a situation where the rumor of his homosexuality, which nearly caused the downfall of his professional football career, would be "ripe for."
Through a dinner conversation, Kordell's ex-wife explained that her husbands reputation was "tainted" to which Kenya replied: "So when you say that his image was tainted, what are you referring to?"
"That sounds like I signed on to be your beard basically," the reality star slammed, as she accused Porsha of marrying the NFL star to hide his sexuality.
Later in his interview with Tamron, Kordell added an official denial: "It never happened. It was a lie. But that wasn't the point, right?"

"What killed me was that there were people in the city who really wanted to see me suffer," he admitted.
After being cut from the Baltimore Ravens in 2005, Kordell retired from sports completely in 2012.
