Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams' Blowout

Bravotv.com: What was going through your head after the confrontation with Porsha?
Cynthia Bailey: I was shell shocked, and honestly could not believe what had just happened. I didn't know what to do, and I felt lost in the moment. This was my first physical altercation, and before I could process or react, the fight ended as quickly as it had started. An argument is one thing, but to actually get physical with another woman is a disgraceful situation. I needed to get away from everyone to regroup. Unfortunately that never happened, which frustrated me even more. I was disappointed that I allowed myself to engage in a second argument, as opposed to walking away again. Looking back I ask myself, "What could I have done differently to prevent this from happening?" I accept full responsibility for my actions in this unfortunate incident. More than anything, I am grateful that neither Porsha nor I was seriously hurt. This experience has taught me a valuable lesson, and I have definitely grown from my mistake. It's OK to make mistakes as long as you learn from them. Nobody is perfect.

Bravotv.com: Do you think you and Peter had a breakthrough during your conversation?
CB: This was a very stressful time for me. Peter and I had begun the process of repairing our relationship, and I was uncertain of the fate of our marriage. Regardless, he is still my husband. He was the obvious person to go to for advice, comfort, and support. It wasn't until I had my conversation with Peter that I realized how much my marital issues had affected me, my everyday life, and my friendships. My frustrations were misdirected.

Bravotv.com: Were you and Porsha truly able to squash the issues between you?
CB: I am remorseful. I am thankful that we were able to sit down as women and agree to put this craziness behind us.
