Thursday, June 26, 2025 - Simon Guobadia, the ex-husband of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams, has broken his silence following their divorce.
The Nigerian businessman didn't hold back on his thoughts
and feelings about the marriage, admitting that he "absolutely
regrets" the marriage to the American reality star.
According to Mr.Simon, he “was targeted for financial
reasons.”
In the exclusive chat with Page Six, he recalled repeatedly
asking, “Why did you file for a divorce?” only to be met with silence.
“I kept asking, ‘Why did you file for a divorce?’ And she
wouldn’t say anything,” claiming he could not get in touch with her family.
“This felt like a coup. … I was totally blindsided,” he
laments, which Williams recently predicted he would feel.
After his attempts to reach Williams’s loved ones failed,
Guobadia said he fired off a scathing text reading: “This was a $5 million
rehab project that I took on.”
Their marriage lasted for just 14 months as Williams filed for divorce in February 2024, citing troubling discoveries about his finances and U.S. immigration status.
Guobadia insisted they never had such talks prior to her
filing for divorce, “She never shared her concerns or issues with me before
filing for divorce. If you’re married … you discuss issues and say, ‘Hey, if
this does not change or something does not happen, this is what might come of
it.” he explained
He also reflected on their quick engagement: “Getting
engaged in 30 days…who does that? I was out of my goddamn mind.”
Posha told People earlier this week she had hired
an immigration attorney in January 2024 after uncovering “complex” issues with
Guobadia’s legal status, noting that she felt the relationship was “headed down
a dark road.”
She said the two had a confrontation on Valentine’s Day and that she filed for divorce just over a week later.
Guobadia — who was deported to Nigeria earlier this month because of immigration violations, including bank and credit card fraud — tells us, noting they “never had those discussions.”
He adds, “I think I was targeted. I was targeted from day
one for financial reasons. When I filed for divorce from my previous
ex-wife [‘RHOA’ cast member Falynn Guobadia, Williams was in my DM praying
for me. I think I was in a vulnerable position at that time, and I entertained
it. So it just kind of snowballed from there.
“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.”
Following a grueling four months in ICE custody and
deportation to Nigeria, a judge upheld their prenup, awarding
Williams $40,000 monthly alimony and up to 36 months of mortgage-free
residence. Guobadia vows to appeal “with 1,000%” certainty, even taking it “all
the way to the Supreme Court.”
On Williams’s daughter PJ, he stated plainly, “I don’t have a relationship with her daughter,” dismissing his ex-wife’s notion that the pair were close. He also criticizes Williams’s gesture of paying child support during his ICE stay, noting it “was not done in good faith” and served only narrative purposes.
