With a name like Porsha, this shouldn't be a surprise. Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams was pulled over for speeding and subsequently arrested for driving on a suspended license in Atlanta on Monday, TMZ reports.

The police took Williams, 33, to jail, where she posted a $1,726 bond and was released.

But Williams claims she had a good excuse for zipping down the highway. "I was headed to visit my grandfather who is very ill with cancer in the hospital, and I was pulled over," she said in a statement. "I was wrong for speeding absolutely and apologize for putting anyone at risk. I tried to explain the situation to the officer and show him that all my paperwork was in order, but he refused. Handcuffs are not comfortable or a good look for anyone."

This is Williams' second arrest this year. In April, she was charged with battery after fighting with Real Housewives of Atlanta costar Kenya Moore during the show's reunion episode.
