Kordell Stewart's reality TV ex-wife was "provoked" into the recent brawl she had with Kenya Moore, according to Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star NeNe Leakes.

Several media outlets have previously reported Porsha Stewart and Moore engaged in a skirmish during a recent taping of an upcoming reunion episode.

Kordell, Porsha Stewart divorce rumors

"There was a physical confrontation that happened at the reunion," Leakes told S2S.com. "They actually touched each other. They actually got physical. I don't condone violence. I do condone a little reading...talk a little trash, but you need to keep your hands to yourself,"

Still, Leakes seems to be going out of her way to defend Williams, who by most accounts was the biggest aggressor. "One was provoked; the other one knocked her out," Leakes told S2S.com.

According to reports, just before the fight broke out Moore took out adult toys and taunted Williams with them, all in an effort to harass her about rumors over her NFL veteran ex-husband's questioned sexuality.

Porsha Stewart broke?

Williams and Stewart finalized their divorce earlier this year and for the last several months the two have publicly feuded with the reality TV star going as far as to admit that she now feels her ex might be gay because of all the times in their marriage where he didn't seem to physically desire her.
