R.I.P. Yolanda “Londie” Favors: ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Porsha’s Family Matters’ Alum Dead At 34

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Porsha’s Family Matters alum Yolanda “Londie” Favors died last Wednesday (Aug. 7), Deadline reports. She was 34. A cause of death has yet to be revealed.

A Bravo representative shared a statement from the Hosea Williams family with DECIDER, in which they wrote that Favors “was known for her kindness, generosity, and unwavering commitment to her family and community.”

“Her steady and persistent pursuit of joy and beauty was inspiring, allowing her to bring a triumphant and radiant energy everywhere she went,” the statement continued. “She worked passionately as a Creative Director, Event Planner and Interior Designer, positively impacting the lives of many with her strategic creativity, eye for beauty, dedication, and spirit.”

According to the statement, Favors “is survived by her loving family, including her mother Yolanda Williams Favors; her sister Aisha Favors; her paternal grandmother Jacqueline “Mimi” Favors, her aunts Elisabeth Omilami, Dr. Barbara Williams Emerson, Andria “Lisa” Williams, Diane Williams; her uncle Andre Williams; her cousins Weusi and Jamila Emerson, Awodele and Tara Omilami, Hosea and Rhonda Williams III, Juanita Williams Ramey, Porsha Williams, Brenton and Amanda Williams, Lauren Williams, Evelyn Williams, and Andre Williams and their children.”

As the cousin of The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams, Favors appeared on the reality TV spin-off, which hit Bravo in November 2021. The show ran on the network for one season.

Williams paid tribute to Favors on Instagram earlier this week, praising her as a best friend, aunt, cousin “and so much more.”

“Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, and you are loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure,” Williams wrote. “The impact and value you provided all of us during your time here was tremendous, but we know that your spirit will always be with us every day guiding us through this difficult time and what’s still to come. For that, we’re eternally grateful. Love you always Dear Baby Cousin 💔🥺🙏🏾 RIP.”

As noted by Deadline, comments poured in from fellow RHOA stars expressing their condolences, including Tanya Sam, Phaedra Parks, Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss, and Shamea Morton Mwangi.

Williams will returning for RHOA‘s upcoming Season 16, though the cast has experienced several shake-ups, including Moore’s exit following a scandal-induced suspension by Bravo.

Parks will also be back next season, after teasing to Entertainment Tonight in April that “the door has always been somewhat open” for her return to the hit reality series. Other Season 16 cast members include Morton Mwangi, Drew Sidora, Brittany Eady, Kelli Ferrell, and Angela Oakley, as well as Bailey, who will be appearing as a “friend of” on the show.
