Kordell Stewart Divorce Update: Porsha Stewart, 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 5 Star, Is 'Financially Negligent' He Says
The Kordell Stewart and Porsha Stewart divorce drama continues, after a recent report revealed that the former NFL star opened up about her financial troubles.
Porsha said earlier in the month their split has become so ugly that Kordell has locked her out of their Atlanta home, and her attorney had to ask his reps for a copy of the key to gain access to her belongings. An insider confirmed the report and told TMZ that Kordell changed the locks and did not give her a new key.
TMZ obtained documents to a recent mediation session arranged for the couple, which was scheduled to try to work things out instead of proceeding ahead with a divorce trial. However, Kordell disagreed and called it a "waste of everyone's time." The reality star was trying to get the judge to allow her to have access to the house at all times or for Kordell to be ordered to buy a "suitable alternative residence" for her to live in.
It was reported on Sunday that Kordell denied Porsha's request and stated that she is trying to portray herself as a victim. He said Porsha is saying she is "locked out" of his home in an attempt to "make herself more marketable in the media." Kordell's version of events stated that he texted his soon-to-be ex-wife several days before he changed the locks. He said he changed locks for security reasons.
"If and when you need to get in give me a heads up," he claimed he wrote to Porsha.
He said he also asked his attorney to obtain from Porsha a list of items she owns that are still in his house. She was notified that she still has access to them.
Kordell said he has proof that Porsha is "financially negligent:" she earns a high income but spends most of it on "grooming and clothing items" instead of paying her bills. He revealed that she failed to pay mortgage payments to her own condominium so now it is under foreclosure.
Kordell brought all of this to light to explain why he should not pay for her "suitable alternative residence."
Porsha is currently residing with her mother, according to TMZ.
Kordell filed for divorce from The Real Housewives of Atlanta star on March 22. In his petition, the former NFL star wrote that he should not provide alimony support to Porsha because she's an "able-bodied person earning income and is capable of supporting herself."
