Porsha Williams remembered her late cousin Yolanda “Londie” Favors this weekend on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
During the season 16 finale, on June 29, Porsha and her sister Lauren stopped by RHOA co-star Phaedra Parks’ house.
Williams shared with Parks that Londie was on the phone with Lauren when she suddenly passed away.

Phaedra was shocked.
“She actually transitioned while you were on the phone?” she asked. Lauren nodded yes.
“Dealing with the loss of my cousin, Londie, I’m going through a lot emotionally while being there for my family. She meant so much to all of us. So it’s pretty difficult,” Porsha said in a confessional interview.
The women decided to have a drink while they talked.
“I was at work and I got news that Londie was in distress and within an hour or two we had lost Londie. She was just the most giving person you could ever think of,” Porsha said. “My heart is broken.”
Lauren said she and Londie had been close their entire lives. “We were babies together,” she shared.
Phaedra said she had recommended a pastor for the family, and was helping with funeral planning.
They did not mention Favors’ cause of death.
Later in the episode, Angela and Charles Oakley honored Porsha and Londie at the Charles Oakley Foundation Gala celebrating people giving back to the Atlanta community.
“Porsha, as well as her cousin, Londie, were instrumental in the work they do with her grandfather’s foundation,” Angela said. “So, I feel like today is a good day to honor her and her sacrifice.”
Favors passed away in August 2024, just days before her 35th birthday.
She was a familiar face to RHOA viewers, after being featured on Williams’ spinoff series, The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Porsha’s Family Matters, which ran on Bravo from 2021 to 2022.
