Porsha Williams' Ex-Husband Breaks Silence On His Side Of The Divorce Story
Porsha Williams' former flame, Simon Guobadia, is singing a different tune about what led to the end of their 14-month marriage.
The Nigerian-born businessman called out his ex-wife in a recent interview, accusing her of exploiting him for his money while he fell helplessly in love. He painted the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star as an opportunist who "targeted" him during a vulnerable moment in his life.
Porsha Williams filed to end her marriage to Simon Guobadia in February 2024, claiming her ex-husband was no longer the man she once loved. However, he is calling BS on her victim narrative.
Guobadia did not mince his words while addressing his divorce from Williams, which was finalized this month. He labeled the end of their short-lived union "a coup," stressing that he was "totally blindsided" by her actions.
"I kept asking, 'Why did you file for a divorce?' And she wouldn't say anything," Guobadia lamented, noting Williams not only stayed silent about her reasons but he also lost contact with her family. Their reactions left the businessman feeling like the whole divorce was planned.
Guobadia told Page Six he was the real victim, implying Williams was a gold digger after his money. "I think I was targeted. I was targeted from day one for financial reasons. When I filed for divorce from my previous ex-wife [Williams] was in my DM praying for me."
The entrepreneur noted he was in a "vulnerable position" after his divorce from "RHOA" alum Falynn Guobadia, and Williams' timing could not have been more perfect. "I entertained it. So it just kind of snowballed from there," he recalled, adding:
"Getting engaged in 30 days … who does that? I was out of my goddamn mind to have done that. Of course, I'm paying dearly for it."
Guobadia's regrets continued with his heartbreaking loss during the divorce proceedings. The judge had sided with Williams' ruling to uphold the terms of the prenuptial agreement. The deal left the reality TV star with $560,000 in alimony and their marital home in Atlanta, among other benefits.
Guobadia noted he would appeal the divorce ruling, stressing that he never contested his past prenups because he never felt targeted the way he did with Williams. The businessman's insistence that his ex-wife was after his wealth might be linked to his successful career.
The entertainer's ex-husband reportedly migrated to the US in 1982 from Nigeria. He founded Simcol Petroleum Limited Company in 2007, which supplies refined fuels in the southeastern United States, according to PEOPLE. Besides his Petroulem venture, Guobadia dabbled in movies.
The entrepreneur has been credited as an executive producer on numerous projects, including 2012's "Jail House Dogs," 2019's "Kill," and 2020's "Son of the South." Outside of business, Guobadia is the proud father of five children from past relationships; however, he did not welcome a child with Williams.
As stated, Guobadia's romance with Williams blossomed after he ended his relationship with her "RHOA" co-star. The former couple finalized their divorce in July 2021, a few months after the entrepreneur popped the big question to his then-lover.
Guobadia and Williams tied the knot twice, with their first wedding ceremony taking place on November 25, 2022. The event, a luxurious Nigerian traditional native law and custom ceremony, was followed by an extravagant American ceremony the next day.
The first ceremony featured 250 guests, while the second had 350 attendees, both of which took place in Atlanta. The former couple spared no expense for their union, with Williams once describing her double weddings as "a dream come true." However, that fairytale ended 14 months later.
While Guobadia argues that he was "targeted" by Williams, The Blast reported that she shared a different story. The TV personality explained that when her romance with the businessman began, they matched each other's energies perfectly.
Williams added that their age gap did not bother her, but allowed her to feel safe and assured in their marriage. Nonetheless, things allegedly changed when Guobadia's complex legal status came into play, and her efforts to rectify the situation were overlooked.
According to the Bravolebrity, she sought the advice of an experienced immigration lawyer to help Guobadia, but he was not having it. Their differences allegedly skyrocketed during an argument on Valentine's Day in 2024, leading to Williams filing for divorce as she no longer recognized her husband.

‘Minor Traffic Accident' Led Federal Agents To Blast Into American Family's Home: Reports
A group of armed federal immigration agents in Huntington Park, California, blasted their way into a family's home Friday morning while searching for a man they accused of charging into a law enforcement vehicle, according to several media outlets. 'I just heard the loudest blast of my life,' resident Jenny Ramirez told NBC Los Angeles. 'I told them, 'You didn't have to do this. You scared my son, my baby and myself.'' Ring camera footage obtained by the outlet shows a group of armed Customs and Border Protection agents placing an explosive device near Ramirez's home before a fiery explosion breached the front of the residence. The agents then entered one by one with weapons drawn. 'If they would've knocked on my door I would have opened the door, but they blew up the window and door first,' Ramirez told ABC7. 'There didn't have to be that violence to enter my house.' Ramirez told NBC Los Angeles she heard the explosion —which blew off her door and shattered the windows — a little after 6 a.m. Friday. She said she and her two children, ages 1 and 6, were the only people inside the house at the time, which she shares with her boyfriend, Jorge Sierra-Hernandez. 'Where they broke the window, my baby was there, and before I got him out of there was when it exploded,' Ramirez told ABC7. 'My ears went blank, I imagine how they felt. They were shaking.' Ramirez said authorities did not give her any warning that they wanted to enter the home, adding that they deployed a drone into her house after setting off the explosive device. The agents werelooking for Sierra-Hernandez, who a CBP spokesperson confirmed to HuffPost was a U.S. citizen. The spokesperson said Sierra-Hernandez had 'rammed his car into a CBP vehicle, causing significant damage and obstructed agents' work during an operation.' 'During this incident, agents were assaulted, and additional rioters threw rocks and other objects at our personnel,' the spokesperson continued. 'Anyone who actively obstructs or assaults law enforcement, including U.S. citizens, will face consequences which include arrest.' However, Ramirez told NBCLA that her boyfriend had tried to stop his Jeep, but unintentionally hit the back of a CBP truck carrying federal agents. She said federal agents informed them they were free to go after the crash and that her boyfriend planned on turning himself in. Sierra-Hernandez ultimately turned himself in, and is now free on bail, ABC 7 reported. 'This family did nothing wrong,' Huntington Park Mayor Arturo Flores told the news outlet. 'They were involved in a minor traffic accident and this is the level of violence and the response that we get.' You Can Actually Help Kneecap Trump's 'Mass Deportation' Arrests.
