Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams’ ex-fiancé Dennis McKinley says he was handcuffed by police on Friday, July 26, and accused of stealing a sandwich.

The incident happened at Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, where the entrepreneur went for a routine doctor’s appointment.

In an Instagram post showing him sitting in a restaurant with his arms cuffed behind his back as he talks to a female police officer, McKinley, 38, wrote that he was “accosted by a super aggressive” cop “who racially profiled me and falsely accused me of stealing a $4 sandwich. I had a receipt which could have easily ended her inquiry. There was a cashier that could have easily verified that I paid for everything I had. There were a number of easy resolutions that could have deescalated the unnecessary racial profiling and my detention by this officer.”

The video, shot by an onlooker, shows the pair in a heated discussion as the officer tells him that he “escalated” the situation, while photos reveal the marks on McKinley’s arms and his receipt from the cafe.

McKinley, who is the father of Williams’ daughter Pilar, 4 months, claims that the officer “chose aggression over common sense. She put her hands on her weapon, she put her hands on me, she publicly humiliated me, falsely and wrongfully accused me of stealing a sandwich and placed me in handcuffs so tight that she caused injuries to both of my wrists.”

Writing that he was racially “profiled,” the Detroit native said that the officer didn’t offer an apology, “just more vitriol — she blamed me for the entire situation. It was disgusting. I could have been the next hashtag because she was that aggressive.”

The businessman, who split with Williams, 38, in June after one year together, added, “It happens to us everywhere, at any time, for any reason. I can’t let this go…. Now, we can add going to the doctor or buying a sandwich while black to the list of things we cannot do.”

He has hired lawyer Mike Sterling, who is married to RHOA’s Eva Marcille, to represent him. Sterling commented on McKinley’s post, writing, “If no one objects or fights back, the wrongs will last forever.”

Us Weekly has reached out to McKinley and the Emory Police Department for comment.

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
