The midseason trailer for The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 is here to smoke out the traitors within the group.
How to Watch
The newly dropped teaser, which you can check out above, features the RHOA cast— including Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Drew Sidora, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Angela Oakley, Kelli Potter, Pinky Cole, K. Michelle, and friend Cynthia Bailey — navigating heated drama, both in ATL and abroad in Scotland on a getaway inspired by Peacock’s The Traitors.
Still to come on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17…
Porsha Williams clashes with ex Dennis McKinley and Shamea Morton
Not all of the upcoming conflicts in the sneak peek are exclusive to the women, however. In one tense moment, for example, Porsha appears to blast her ex-fiancé, Dennis McKinley, fuming, “You are the trauma — not the drama, the f–king trauma.”
It’s unclear if their ongoing conflict will impact Porsha’s budding relationship with her “lady friend,” Patrice “Sway” McKinney, who had previously questioned if she had any “baby daddy drama,” since she and Dennis share 7-year-old daughter Pilar Jhena “PJ” McKinley. However, Sway is shown in the preview telling Porsha that she didn’t “sign up for no damn anxiety.” In the next clip, Porsha is crying and hugging someone for comfort.

Meanwhile, Porsha’s long-brewing beef with Shamea re-enters the spotlight, after The Real Housewives of Potomac‘s Gizelle Bryant pops up to ask the former for an update on their relationship. Cut to K. Michelle declaring, “She is absolutely devastated by this friendship,” before Shamea is seen crying and covering her face in the back of a dark vehicle.
More clarity on what led to that moment arrives later as Porsha and Shamea go toe to toe over past issues between their mothers. Their castmates jaws drop as the former besties both accuse each other, as well as their moms, of being “lowdown dirty snakes.”
Afterward, Shamea cries in Kelli’s arms, explaining, “This is my real life, you know what I’m saying?”
Drew Sidora and K. Michelle’s feud heats up
Elsewhere, Drew and K. Michelle’s ongoing feud continues to escalate. When K. Michelle denies Drew’s accusation that she is “lying,” the latter asks the group, “No one’s gonna hold her accountable to her lies?”
In another explosive moment between the two, Drew reveals that K. Michelle referred to someone, presumably her “friend” Blakk Tatted, as “handsome,” despite her continued denial that she knew him at all.

Later, the Season 17 newcomer scoffs to Phaedra, “I know this friend group, and everybody’s so, ‘Yes, we are bigger people.'”
The RHOA cast jets off to Scotland amid more swirling drama
Amidst all the dustups, the group goes on a cast trip to Scotland, where Phaedra previously competed on Season 2 of The Traitors, and is now stepping into host Alan Cummings role with the alter ego “Alanesha Came.”
“Tonight, we will see who are the faithful and who are the traitors,” Phaedra announces to the ladies who are clad in the show’s iconic green hooded robes.
Between scenes of the group partaking in such activities as tug-of-war and ghost hunting, she adds that, at times, everyone “has lied,” “been deceitful,” and engaged in “moments of betrayal.” The midseason teaser, then, provides some fresh examples of conflict within the group, including a fired-up Angela claiming that someone “is f–king” an Atlanta Falcons player.
Check out all of that drama and much more — including Porsha and Kelli’s reconciliation, Phaedra representing Kelli in her divorce, and Pinky covering one of Drew’s songs — by watching the midseason trailer at the top of this post.
In the meantime, get more details on Porsha and Dennis’ latest issues that arose earlier on RHOA Season 17.
