Simon Guobadia Breaks Silence on Porsha Williams Divorce | Shocking Allegations Revealed

Simon Guobadia Breaks His Silence: “I Was Targeted From Day One”

Simon Guobadia, ex‑husband of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams, recently spoke exclusively to Page Six, expressing deep regret about their short-lived marriage. He revealed he felt "absolutely regretful" and believes the union was a setup from day one—“I was targeted for financial reasons,” he asserted .

Blindsided and Seeking Answers

Simon says he was completely caught off guard when Porsha filed for divorce in February 2024—without warning or a single discussion beforehand . When he asked her why, he claims she—and even her family—did not respond. “This felt like a coup… I was totally blindsided,” he shared .

He even sent a pointed message, stating it was a “$5 million rehab project” for him—reflecting how much he had invested emotionally and financially .

A Whirlwind Romance

Their romance was fast and intense: engaged after just 30 days of dating, with twin ceremonies in Nigeria and Atlanta in November 2022 . But Simon now says it was impulsive: “Getting engaged in 30 days … who does that? I was out of my goddamn mind,” he told Page Six .

The Dark Turn: Immigration Doubts and Legal Fallout

Porsha’s camp revealed she discovered "complex" immigration issues related to Simon’s legal status in January 2024, prompting her to consult an immigration attorney—events that ultimately soured the marriage .

Simon was later detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, linked to alleged bank and credit card fraud, before being deported back to Nigeria in early June 2025 .

Divorce Terms: Financial Fallout

Once deported, the divorce was finalized on June 11, 2025. The terms include:

• $40K monthly alimony for the 14 months they were married (total $560K)

• Porsha given up to 36 months to live in the Atlanta marital home with mortgage and bills paid

• Option for Porsha to buy out the home—she’d pay Simon 50% equity 

Simon has indicated he will appeal the ruling, stating he’s honored prenups in the past and believes the prenup terms are unfair .

Family Fallout

Simon and Porsha didn’t share children together, though her daughter Pilar "PJ" Jhena, 6, was close to Simon during the marriage. Simon revealed he has no current bond with PJ or his own children in this context, calling any new relationship efforts “done” .

Porsha recently opened up about the emotional difficulties for PJ, acknowledging how hard the split was for her daughter .

Porsha's Perspective: Relief and Resilience

Porsha Williams has publicly labeled the divorce a "nightmare" and spoke candidly about feeling relief now that it’s in the past . She described the emotional journey and how she reclaims her peace and independence post-split.

What Simon Is Saying Now—In His Own Words

• “I was targeted… for financial reasons.”

• “If you’re married, you discuss issues… she never shared her concerns.”

• “I’ve had prenups before… I intend to challenge this all the way to the Supreme Court if I have to.” 

Looking Ahead

• Simon: Plans to appeal the divorce settlement and prenup terms, asserting his rights.

• Porsha: Moving forward with her life, focusing on healing, business ventures, and parenting.

• Co‑Parenting: Children are central; while Simon says there's distance now, Porsha appears open-minded and supportive .

Final Thoughts

This public divorce has been anything but ordinary—blazing fast, legally tangled, and emotionally charged. Simon’s claim of being “targeted” and his plan to appeal add layers to the story. Meanwhile, Porsha seeks stability and healing.
