On the June 29 episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Porsha Williams opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her cousin Yolanda “Londie” Favors, who passed away while on a call with her sister.
Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (June 29) took an emotional turn as Porsha Williams and her sister Lauren reflected on the sudden passing of their cousin, Yolanda “Londie” Favors. In a heart-wrenching scene, it was revealed that Favors passed away while on a phone call with Lauren, deepening the emotional impact of her unexpected death in August 2024.
The June 29 episode of RHOA offered viewers a deeply personal look at Porsha Williams‘ grief over the loss of her cousin and close confidante, Yolanda “Londie” Favors, who died suddenly in August 2024.
While speaking with castmate Phaedra Parks, Williams shared the harrowing moment her sister Lauren was on the phone with Londie during her final moments. “She actually transitioned while you were on the phone?” Parks asked Lauren, to which she softly responded, “Yeah.”
Williams added, “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.”
In a confessional, Lauren described her emotional state: “I’m just numb. We’re like sisters. We grew up… we were babies together.”
Williams then shared how quickly the tragedy unfolded. “I was at work and I got some news that Londie was in distress, and within an hour or two we had lost Londie,” she said. “She was just the most giving person you could ever think of.”
Favors wasn’t just family—she played a key role in Williams’ professional life. Throughout the current season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, she was seen assisting Williams with brand events and her various business ventures. Favors had also appeared on Bravo’s 2022 RHOA spinoff, Porsha’s Family Matters, where she served as an emotional and professional anchor for the family.
“God has given us strength because He knows that her mom and sister wouldn’t be able to do all this right now,” Williams shared, noting that she and Lauren were now planning Favors’ funeral.
In the previous episode, Williams had revealed she would be missing an important event organized by Parks in light of her cousin’s sudden passing. Reflecting in a confessional, she added, “It just was so sudden — so difficult. Londie was just the most giving person you could ever think of. A loyal person, the most creative with her company. She did so much for my grandfather’s foundation. The most honest person you can ever think of. It’s just a huge loss.”
The episode concluded with a heartfelt tribute:
“In Loving Memory. Yolanda ‘Londie’ Favors. 1989–2024.”
The passing of Yolanda “Londie” Favors marks a significant emotional moment for RHOA fans and cast alike. Her contributions to both Porsha Williams’ life and the show left a lasting impression, and this week’s episode served as a touching reminder of her love, loyalty, and unwavering presence.
