The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 reunion trailer dropped on Friday, June 27 The first look teased how stars Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley and Cynthia Bailey, respond to the news that castmate Brit Eady skipped the reunion Despite Eady's absence, the cast still divulge and recall what happened between Eady and former star, Kenya MooreBrit Eady continued to surprise her The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 castmates up until the day of the reunion. On Friday, June 27, Bravo released the first sneak preview of the upcoming three-part reunion of the hit reality series. During the quick trailer, fans got a peek at how the women reacted to fellow castmate Eady's decision to skip the reunion. Towards the first half of the trailer, host Andy Cohen tells Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley and Cynthia Bailey, that 'Brit Eady has decided not to join us.' The clip then cuts to a shocked Ferrell, 40, who says, 'Wow,' while another woman is heard in the background saying, 'What?' Eady's decision to skip the reunion followed PEOPLE's reporting on Thursday, June 5, that she and Kenya Moore would not be attending, Eady on her own volition, while Moore, 54, was not invited by Bravo to participate. Moore was the longest running RHOA star when season 16 began filming back in April 2024. But her time in the season was cut short in June 2024, after she exposed sexually explicit photos presumed to be from Eady's past to guests at the opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa. She was suspended — and after an internal investigation — exited the series. On the same day as the reunion taping, Thursday, June 5, Eady, 37, addressed her decision not to attend the reunion on her Instagram Stories, alleging that the photos Moore shared a year ago weren't of her to begin with. 'I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me,' Eady continued in her statement. 'I look forward to seeking accountability and moving past this dark part of my life." During the reunion trailer, Williams, 44, seemingly acknowledges the incident and says, 'Kenya had gotten information from a current housewife about Brit's past.' Cohen, 57, then turns his attention to Ferrell and asks, 'Did you send her the pictures?' His question left Ferrell shocked and speechless. The trailer then cuts to other moments that tease tensions between Parks, 51, and Oakley, as well as Williams and Morton Mwangi, 43, which prompts Williams to leave the reunion set.

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. Will Porsha Williams respond to Simon Guobadia's exploitation allegations?

Simon Guobadia breaks silence on divorce from Porsha Williams; claims he was 'targeted' and vows to challenge pre-nump
Simon Guobadia , the ex-husband of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams , has broken his silence following their split. Not holding back on his thoughts and feelings about the marriage, the businessman shared in an interview with Page Six, he "absolutely regrets" the marriage, claiming he was blindsided and 'targeted from day one.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Opening up about the breakdown of the marriage, Guobadia, said he repeatedly asked Williams, why she filed for divorce, but claimed that he never received a clear answer. 'This felt like a coup… I was totally blindsided,' he said, adding that even Williams' family was also unreachable. In a moment of frustration, he admitted sending her a message that read, 'This was a $5 million rehab project that I took on.' The businessman, who has been married three times, also revealed that Williams reached out to him while he was divorcing his previous wife, fellow RHOA cast member Falynn Guobadia. 'She was in my DMs praying for me. I think I was vulnerable at that time, and I entertained it. Getting engaged in 30 days… who does that? I was out of my goddamn mind.' Williams filed for divorce in February 2024 after just 14 months of marriage. She recently told People that she had hired an immigration attorney earlier that year after discovering what she called 'complex' legal issues surrounding Guobadia's status, issues that made her feel the marriage was 'headed down a dark road.' She added that a confrontation on Valentine's Day was the final straw, prompting her to end the relationship and file for divorce just over a week later. Guobadia, who was deported to Nigeria earlier this month due to immigration violations including fraud, insists Williams never expressed any concerns prior to filing. 'She never shared her issues with me. If you're married, you talk it out,' he said. 'I think I was targeted — from day one — for financial reasons.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Following his release from ICE custody, a judge officially dissolved his marriage to Williams and upheld their prenuptial agreement. As part of the settlement, he would pay Williams $40,000 a month in alimony for the duration of their 14-month marriage, totaling $560,000. She would also continue living in their Atlanta home for up to 36 months with all expenses paid. She was also given the option to buy the property, for which she must refinance it under her name and pay Guobadia 50% of the equity. Despite the judge's ruling, Guobadia says he plans to fight the decision in court. 'This is going to be appealed. I've honoured prenups before without issue, but this time, I'm challenging it — all the way to the Supreme Court if I have to,' he said. 'I know I was targeted, and I intend to prove it.'
