RHOA's Porsha Williams' Ex Simon Guobadia Wants Six-Figure Sum After Her Erectile Dysfunction Jabs
The divorce between Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia has been settled, but their drama is far from over. The ex-husband of the Real Housewives of Atlanta star filed a lawsuit over social media posts insinuating that Simon experienced erectile dysfunction. Simon feels like he's been defamed, and he wants Porsha to pay up. Simon Guobadia has demanded $500k from Porsha Williams Porsha's shady Instagram post happened in July 2024, as the two exes went back and forth on Instagram. Simon called her a 'witch,' and then Porsha shared a series of posts about 'men's health awareness.' She didn't directly mention Simon, but she highlighted how erectile dysfunction could cause symptoms like 'anger, frustration, sadness, and a lack of confidence.' A few months later, Simon filed a lawsuit against Porsha, accusing her of defamation. At the time, Simon said he wanted damages, but there were no details about how much he wanted. Now, in new court documents reviewed by Us Weekly, we've learned that he's asking for half a million dollars. Why $500,000? Simon said that Porsha's defamatory posts caused him to lose business opportunities and sponsorships. Another part of the claim is related to reputational harm, emotional distress, and humiliation. According to Simon's lawyers, Porsha acted with 'malicious intent' by sharing the posts on her social media. They said that Porsha's 'outsized' platform influenced the public's perception of him. '[Porsha's] statements were false; [Simon] does not have ED and has never suffered from or been diagnosed with this condition,' his lawyer urged. Although Porsha's lawyers want this case thrown out of court, Simon is ready to go the distance. In his latest filing, he offered to submit medical documentation proving that his penis works as intended. The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs on Bravo every Sunday at 8/7c. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – DO YOU THINK SIMON WILL WIN THIS CASE AGAINST PORSHA? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON HIS $500,00 DEMAND?

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?

'RHOA' Porsha Williams Spotlights Ex's Complicated Immigration In Messy Divorce
Porsha Williams is taking stock of every factor that crashed her marriage to Simon Guobadia. The 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Star's messy divorce was a kaleidoscope of various disagreements and differing perspectives, all of which she airs out in a new interview now that she is officially single. Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia were married for barely two years following a lavish two-part wedding in Nigeria and Atlanta, respectively before they called it quits last February. The star claimed that when they began their love story, it was a round peg in a round hole as they both matched each other's energies. According to the reality star: "Simon matched my energy. He's very warm. He loved spending time with me. We were freakin' extra. If we wanted to fly out of the country every weekend or post on Instagram together about how much we loved each other, he was down." She added that the age gap between them also made her feel safe and assured in the marriage. Williams described the deported businessman as a breath of fresh air when things picked up. He was reportedly honest about his previous romantic mistakes, and this growth appealed to Williams, making her feel very vulnerable. This phase, unfortunately, did not last; Guobadia's complex legal status entered the scenario, posing a bigger problem than they both had envisaged. The Bravo star claimed she sought the services of an experienced immigration lawyer, who advised them on what to do, but her ex was not having it. She added that things had degenerated between them by Valentine's Day in 2024 to the point of no return. Eight days after this encounter, Williams shared that she filed for divorce. "…I just knew I was not looking at the same person I loved before. I could tell that he was just pretty much checked out of the relationship at that point," the TV star clarified to PEOPLE. Williams did not hesitate to trash the cheating rumors that trailed their divorce. She insisted no one stepped out on anyone in the marriage, and things ended simply because Simon had "some desires he wanted to accomplish outside of family." The TV star noted that his desire took a larger part of his priorities than what they shared; ultimately, it consumed them and turned Guobadia into a stranger. She once again touched on the issue of trust and safety, which waned as the months passed in the marriage. Williams described that one thing as the most significant loss in the marriage, and she felt the divorce blindsided her ex because she could not compromise how she felt. Williams added that she also came into the marriage smarter than she was in her previous marriage to NFL star Kordell Stewart. "I did a prenup. I was responsible. So in a way, that due diligence made it a softer landing to walk away," she noted. Last November, The Blast reported that Guobadia took legal steps against Williams' utterances about his private parts and sexual performance. He noted that his estranged wife had indirectly insinuated that his privates lacked proper functions, presenting them as a statement of fact and not an opinion she holds. Guobadia added that his reputation was at stake following Williams' unending rampage about his sexual health. While Porsha did not directly mention the Nigerian in any of her social media posts where she shared facts about erectile dysfunction, Guobadia insists it was bad timing. He added that the media also picked up on Porsha's language and went to smear his name with erectile dysfunction allegations. When Williams left "RHOA" in 2021, after nine years with Bravo, various narratives emerged following her exit, including the assumption that she left to avoid the drama the show was known for. As reported by The Blast in 2023, the TV personality dismissed the claims, insisting that her true fans know she is never one to back down from a good bit of entertaining drama. Williams explained that she has enough experience dealing with "harsh things on the show." Some factions also claimed she took a break from the show to get married to Guobadia. The star stressed that her exit was actually connected to her lengthy years with the network. Williams expressed that she needed to reshuffle her life, goals, and circles before turning 40, and "RHOA" came on the chopping block. Despite this, the star shared that she remained open to renegotiating her contracts and appearing on the show. "I've never written it off, I've never talked down on the show. I love what the girls are doing. I love that the brand is still as strong as it was before, and you just never know. I will say [that] I'll never say 'never,'" the entrepreneur explained. Williams eventually returned to the show for its 16th season, according to her announcement last February. Williams' return to the show was marked with major drama as her colleague on "Married to Medicine" threw a shade at the "RHOA" cast. The Blast noted that Toya Bush-Harris commented on the physical appearance of some cast members following the premiere. "It's a lot of Botox and fillers. Which, I am not mad. I saw Nicki Minaj on there; I saw Lil Kim," Bush-Harris declared before adding that the new faces were a lot to take in. Williams quickly came to her castmates' rescue, cautioning the star against her lack of showmanship. "To be honest, the girls from Real Housewives of Atlanta have always supported the other black shows on the network, and for me, definitely 'Married to Medicine' and to see her as a black woman talk about features and pick apart Atlanta is really kind of sad," the 44-year-old wrote. She concluded her comment by urging everyone to do better and not engage in tearing other people down for the fun of it. What is next for Porsha Williams?

RHOA star Porsha Williams' ex Simon Guobadia breaks silence on ICE 'nightmare' after getting deported
Simon Guobadia, the estranged husband of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Porsha Williams, has given a scathing account of his time in immigration custody after he was deported to his native Nigeria over the weekend. confirmed Tuesday that Guobadia was released from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and sent back to his country of citizenship. Now Guobadia has said that he had been spending time abroad, but traveled to America in order to attend a hearing related to his ongoing divorce from Williams. However he claimed that when his flight landed, he was confronted by ' about seven agents with ICE ' who met him 'at the entrance' of his arrival gate. Guobadia said his hands and feet were both in cuffs as he was brought to the detention center where he spent a 'nightmare' three months before his deportation. He claimed he was given the option of either staying with the general population of detainees or in a separate cell because he was a public figure, so he took the second option, spending at least 23 hours a day on his own, with the result that he 'understood why people would kill themselves' in custody, via Us Weekly. Williams has argued that her estranged husband's detention by ICE was 'self-inflicted,' citing 'upon information and belief, his multiple attempts to illegally enter and remain the United States, which resulted in his most recent detention,' in court documents obtained by People this March. Now Guobadia has said he landed in the United States 'a day or two before the premiere of season 16' of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta, which aired March 9. He claimed the ICE agents entered his plane to bring him off, and then peppered him with 'a bunch of questions about my business and where I was traveling from, and then they asked me to turn over my devices.' Guobadia said his two cellphones - one for work in the United States, one for work in Dubai - were confiscated along with his laptop, and he duly 'gave them passcodes so they could do their forensic investigation, [if] you will.' He continued: 'After that, they basically came and told me that I was being detained and that they would be taking me in, and I'll be seeing a judge at some point. So they slapped the cuffs on and I was taken away.' According to his version of events, he had traveled without issue before and his immigration status was well known, so his detention 'felt like a target. It felt like a target because they had no reason [and] it felt like a target on a number of fronts.' Guobadia, who has been deported before and has repeatedly overstayed his visas, pointed to 'the new administration and new administration policies, they've heightened their targets apparently as agents are waiting, looking through flight [logs] for names that may have popped up on their radar and take them into custody.' He then sensationally alleged: 'And the second one was that I expected that I'm in a contentious divorce, and it's not just one individual I'm dealing with. I am dealing with those behind her, the powers behind her that, obviously, would like to see her succeed and ensure that the investment in this person will come to fruition. So I was not totally oblivious to the possibilities of…some interference.' Meanwhile an insider with knowledge of the circumstances insisted: 'There's zero truth to this theory that there's a connection between Porsha and Simon's arrest. It was an internet meme.' From the airport, Guobadia was taken to a facility where he was given the uniform and told he was ineligible for bond but would appear before a judge at some stage. 'That's when my shock realization kicked in that: "Oh my God, what's about to happen?" I was transported to a detention center that I don't recall the name right now, to be housed overnight and went through that experience [of] taking my regular street clothes off and having to put on inmate clothes.' He was then taken to the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, spending three months there before he was released and sent home to Nigeria. Guobadia spent his first two days at the Stewart Detention Center asleep, and then was permitted an hourlong visit by his friends and family. 'It was very emotional for me because prior to that, I didn't have a phone call. I didn't have a chance to phone them. I didn't have my phone book. I guess the kindness, or I don't know what it was, but the officer let me use this phone and I was able to get through to my house manager and she in turn got in touch with [my close friend].' Guobadia stated: 'But the way this thing is designed is not like you're arrested and you're immediately given time to call. It could take a while, and sometimes it could take days before you're able to reach your family.' In the detention center, he was informed that 'there are people who recognize that you're a celebrity,' and so he was being taken into 'protective custody.' Guobadia professed to have been 'taken to an area that is called segregation,' in which he was given his own cell - though he was offered the choice of whether he wanted to stay isolated or live with the general population. In 'segregation,' he was forced to spend all his time in his cell except for a single hourlong outdoor excursion a day, which could be revoked in case of foul weather. During that period, he 'understood why people would kill themselves, but I'm too strong to do that. But I understand why people, when you [are] put in a certain mental headspace, you start to understand why people do what they do,' he said. In the end, he elected to be released back into the general population of detainees, whom he described as predominantly Hispanic men 'who looked like they were picked up from work sites or their jobs.' Although the center was mainly 'clean,' Guobadia felt 'the staff was poorly trained, they didn't have a whole lot of staffing. There was overcrowding, there were people detained, individuals who were sleeping in makeshift beds.' Guobadia alleged that the facility contained significantly more inmates than the 'about 200 people' per unit and 'two people' per cell that it was supposedly built to contain. On the subject of the 'terrible' food, he described a 'typical' breakfast as 'cereal and milk,' while lunch was a 'make-believe burger' of fake meat and 'a lot of beans,' and dinner could be spaghetti or tacos with rice and 'Every meal came with beans.' He complained that the food had no 'nutritional value,' saying: 'I never got coffee. I never got tea. There was no purified water, no bottled water…none of that.' 'It's disheartening to see my estranged husband make choices that have led to this outcome. At this moment, my priority is moving forward with my family,' she wrote on Instagram Inmates apparently shared a running joke that whenever they asked when they would be released, the ICE agents were 'never truthful' with them. During his period of detention - a few days of which were spent in a clinic when he contracted the flu - Guobadia says he was given no news on the progress of his case. Two weeks before his deportation, he was informed he was going to be released, though not before being placed in a holding cell with other inmates in which he claims he was left without food for 18 hours. Guobadia says he is now working to reunite with his children and intends to travel to Dubai, having lived there in the past. After his deportation, confirmed that Guobadia was also no longer listed on the system of the US Department of Homeland Security. reached out to representatives of Williams and Guobadia after news broke that he had been sent back to Nigeria. His friend Tai Savat told Us Weekly that Guobadia was sent back on a flight home to Nigeria a couple of days ago and was in 'good spirits' despite the tough experience of four months at the detention center which was the first time he was ever imprisoned. Amid the ongoing immigration protests in Los Angeles, Savet said that Guobadia is not mad at US President Donald Trump and would actually like a sit-down meeting with him. Back in February, Porsha broke her silence after estranged husband, Simon, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The entrepreneur was being held at Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, at the time according Us Weekly. His status was listed as 'in ICE custody,' according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security's records. Amid the news in February, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star — who's going through a contentious divorce from Guobadia — took to her Instagram, calling the situation 'disheartening.' 'It's disheartening to see my estranged husband make choices that have led to this outcome. At this moment, my priority is moving forward with my family,' she wrote. Guobadia, who immigrated from Nigeria to the United States in 1982, allegedly overstayed his visa and was declared deportable in 1985. He subsequently returned to the United States in 1986 and once more overstayed his work visa. It came amid President Trump 's order for massive deportations of illegal migrants, which he signed off on earlier this year which the nation has since come to fruition. The order allows for the deportation of undocumented immigrants to their countries of origin. Guobadia, who pleaded guilty to fraud in 1987 and was deported in 1992 after two more arrests, returned to the U.S. a month later. His 2016 naturalization attempt was denied. In 2024, the Atlanta Black Star reported that he had been repeatedly denied residency. In February 2024, he celebrated his life in America, writing on Instagram, 'Happy Tuesday to all who ever overcame and persevered in life. You are winning #42yearsLivinginAmerica.' Porsha filed for divorce just days later, after just 15 months of marriage. The couple said 'I do' in November 2022 after getting engaged in May 2021. Their divorce is still ongoing. Last September, Porsha was granted a major legal victory in her ongoing divorce from Simon. In the latest ruling from the case, the court granted the reality star her request to 'quash' her ex's subpoena and request for a videotaped deposition of her employer, True Entertainment, along with a motion for a protective order according to People. In addition a judge also denied Simon's emergency motions regarding discovery and awarded Porsha's attorney's fees of litigation to be paid by Simon as the filing also pertains to their prenuptial agreement. Simon 'argues that Wife's desire to return to reality television or employment in the future constitutes a non-disclosure of material fact and misrepresentation, that renders the Prenuptial Agreement unenforceable,' according to documents. He also claimed that Porsha had agreed to be a stay-at-home-mom and wife during their marriage and would even forgo her own career which the court found to be invalid. According to People the court did not 'find merit' in his argument 'as the Court finds that Wife has been a reality TV celebrity for years, which was well known to Husband at the time of negotiating the Prenuptial Agreement, and Husband nevertheless married Wife with this knowledge.' In the couple's prenuptial agreement it states that its 'central purpose… is to avoid contested and expensive litigation, including the costly and potentially intrusive discovery process, if an Event of Dissolution occurs.' Now the ruling from the judge reads that the court finds it 'undisputed by both parties that the Prenuptial Agreement at issue in this case was negotiated by the parties with very competent lawyers over a year length of time, and included the exchange of financial disclosures, such that the issues of fraud, mistake, misrepresentation, and duress are clearly addressed in multiple provisions of the Prenuptial Agreement. 'Essentially, the crux of Husband's argument could have been explicitly contained within the four corners of the parties' Prenuptial Agreement, and it was not.' This is considered to be a massive victory for Porsha as she is now at the final step of divorce proceedings and as the couple's prenuptial agreement is upheld by court, she will be awarded her legal expenses by her ex thus walking away a single woman. Back in February Porsha broke her silence over the end of her 15-month marriage to Simon, who she first began dating in 2021. Following news of their split, revealed in court papers obtained by People on Thursday, the star took time to acknowledge the supportive messages and comments she has received from fans. 'Thank you for your prayers & support [broken heart emoji],' she captioned a post, shared with her more than 7.6 million Instagram followers. The couple said 'I do' in November 2022 after getting engaged in May 2021; pictured at the 2023 Pink Awards in Austell, Georgia Within seven hours, she received 109,925 likes and thousands of supportive comments, including one from her Real Housewives of Atlanta costar Kenya Moore, Phaedra Parks and Cynthia Bailey. Simon made his debut on RHOA at the conclusion of Season 13, introduced as the husband of Falynn Pina. However, the pair went their separate ways after the conclusion of filming. On May 10, 2021, Porsha revealed she was engaged to Simon after one month of dating despite him being the ex of her RHOA co-star. 'Yes we are crazy in love,' she captioned a selfie with Guobadia. 'I know it's fast but we are living life each day to its fullest. I choose happiness every morning and every night.' Simon later confirmed the engagement on his own social media, gushing, 'I asked her to marry me because we checked ALL of each other's boxes, and then some.' Porsha is back for The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16, following her departure from the show after season 13.
