Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia’s tumultuous divorce was officially finalized in June, but Simon’s not done yet. According to a new lawsuit filed on July 17, Simon believes a court should award him $500,000 in lost business opportunities and sponsorships, claiming that Porsha’s seemingly shady, malfunctioning d-dropping disses about erectile dysfunction messed with his money.

The Nigerian businessman, 61, who owns the Atlanta-based SIMCOL Petroleum Limited Company, is also seeking “unspecified general damages for harm to his reputation, emotional distress and humiliation,” reports US Weekly, citing official legal docs.

After filing for divorce in 2024, Guobadia alleged that Porsha, 44, became “contentious” and began “making negative, false and misleading statements about him on social media, using her outsized platform to influence public perception of him negatively.” 

The lawsuit, which was first reported on in November, pointed to a 2024 post where Porsha offered tips to help men combat erectile dysfunction (ED) in her Instagram Stories. While the post claimed to be in honor of men’s health awareness, Guobadia argued that it was a direct dig at him. 

“These posts were intentionally crafted to imply that [Guobadia] suffers from this condition, casting him in a negative and humiliating light,” a lawyer for the entrepreneur wrote.

Simon’s attorney added:

“The nature, timing, and context of these posts, amidst the couple’s public separation, led reasonable viewers to infer that [Williams’] statements were referring to [Guobadia] – because they were.”

Arguing his case for the $500,000 reward further, the Nigerian millionaire accused Porsha of writing her post “in a factual manner,” implying that ED afflicted him. He argued once again that the post was “clearly intended to cast” him in a “negative and humiliating light.”

His lawyer added:

“[Williams’] statements were false; [Guobadia] does not have ED and has never suffered from or been diagnosed with this condition.”

To prove that his member is in good working order, Simon offered to submit medical records that would fight back against the ED rumors allegedly stoked by Porsha. 

Lawyers for Porsha say the suit should be thrown out.

Us Weekly reports that lawyers for Williams say the suit should be thrown out of court immediately as Porsha’s post made no mention of “any particular individual” and lacked proof of malicious intent. 

“[Williams] cannot and should not be held liable for sharing information regarding a common condition that likely plagues many of [Williams’] social media followers,” legal reps for the reality TV star penned. “For this reason, and the reasons detailed herein, this Court should dismiss [Guobadia’s] Complaint in its entirety.” Her lawyer added, “These posts simply provide information regarding a common condition, and Defendant even uses the hashtag ‘Men’s Health Awareness’ to draw awareness to the information that may help some of Defendant’s social media followers.”

Before news of the latest lawsuit hit the media, Simon took to his Instagram Story with a screenshot that read, “Good morning, sir, please can you marry a broke woman?” While it is unclear if Simon was the person on the receiving end of the text, the reply read flat out, “No, I’m retired.”

As previously reported, on June 11, a judge ruled in favor of The Real Housewives of Atlanta star to enforce the prenup that she and Simon signed shortly before their marriage in November 2022. The agreement will require Simon to pay “a substantial financial obligation totaling over hundreds of thousands of dollars.” The prenup also includes “terms that require him to split the equity of his $7,000,000 pre-marital home” with Porsha and “pay significant debts and expenses” tied to the housewife. Additionally, the Bravolebrity will receive monthly payments of $40,000 from her ex-husband for the next 14 to 15 months, along with full coverage of her legal fees. She’ll also keep the Rolls-Royce he gifted her in 2022, a vehicle worth over $300,000. 

What do you think about this latest move by Simon Guobadia? Will he ever give up?

The finalization of Porsha Williams’ divorce from Simon Guobadia has been confirmed, bringing a definitive end to their highly publicized marriage. Both parties have offered public statements regarding the outcome, reflecting contrasting perspectives on the resolution of their relationship.

Porsha’s journey and marriage to Simon Guobadia were a whirlwind that began with controversy and ended in a legal battle. As BOSSIP previously reported, their relationship ignited chatter from the start, as their engagement was announced in March 2021, just one month after they went Instagram official. This raised eyebrows, given Simon was still married to Porsha’s former RHOA friend, Falynn Guobadia. Despite the initial controversy, the couple proceeded with two lavish weddings in November 2022.

However, the union proved to be short-lived. Williams filed for Porsha Williams’ divorce in February 2024, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Porsha later revealed to PEOPLE that her decision stemmed from discovering what she termed “complex” issues with Simon’s legal status and a pattern of alleged dishonesty and deceit. She told PEOPLE that in the final three months of their marriage, she realized Simon “wasn’t being honest with her about the ‘complex’ issues with his legal status.”

She recalled, “That’s when I knew, ‘This is probably headed down a dark road.’” Porsha, emphasizing her commitment to legal compliance, stated, “Everything I do is above board. When it comes to business, life… I have attorneys who make sure that I am in right standing with United States law. So I wouldn’t want to be involved in anything that would put me in a position not to follow our law. And I felt I was put in an uncomfortable situation, legally — in combination with dishonesty and deceit — where I needed to file for divorce in order to gain immediate protection.”

Simon, however, said that they had “no issues” as a couple and that Williams was “citing issues that happened in my past. I have spent the better part of 35 years of my life making up for it,” he added.

Porsha Williams’ Divorce: Finalization & Contrasting Reactions

The legal complexities of Porsha Williams’ divorce intensified when Simon was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while traveling back to the United States for a divorce hearing. He has since been deported to Nigeria due to a history of immigration violations, including bank and credit card fraud, according to PEOPLE.

Their divorce was officially finalized on June 11, with the judge ruling in Williams’ favor. The ruling upheld their prenup and granted her spousal support, among other things. This outcome led to distinctly different public reactions from the former couple.

Simon Guobadia quickly celebrated the finalization on Instagram, writing, “Officially single and finally free – thank God Almighty, I’m free at last!”

However, this celebratory tone was quickly followed by news that Guobadia plans to appeal the ruling. He also told Page Six that he “regrets their marriage.”

Porsha’s reaction, in contrast, was more emotional and reflective. In her PEOPLE cover story interview, she discussed the painful, months-long legal battle. “I really don’t wish divorce on anybody,” she said. “It’s horrible, to allow your brain and your heart to connect with someone and then have to battle them like this? It’s like, the worst nightmare you have ever, ever experienced because you don’t recognize who you’re fighting. Like, Simon right now? I don’t know who that is.”

Williams expressed a sense of betrayal, stating, “It makes you feel like everything was a lie. I mean, for you to hate me this much? Everything had to be a lie. Because I don’t have that kind of hate towards you in my heart. But then again, I’m the one walking away, not him. So I don’t know…” [PEOPLE]. She also revealed she still mourns the loss of the future they envisioned. “We had a future together,” she shared. “I mean, I truly envisioned my life with this person, and Simon was the same way” [PEOPLE]. She added, “Sure, I can still have a beautiful home. Sure, I can have money in the bank. Sure, I can still travel. But it’s hard to imagine doing them when the person beside you was not there,” she shared, through tears.

Despite the heartbreak, Williams expressed pride in her resilience, “I just thank God I have survived and still myself because sometimes, Lord, when you leave someone who is such a big part of your life? You do not feel like yourself for a long time.”

Venus Williams has always been a powerhouse on the court. But her latest win isn’t about titles, it’s about telling the truth and reclaiming her health.

In a recent exclusive interview with the Today Show, Venus Williams’ fibroid journey took center stage. While the world watched her dominate in tennis, the seven-time Grand Slam winner battled with the condition for years.

Venus Williams Talks Her Fibroid Journey On The ‘Today Show’—She Says She Was Dismissed And Ignored

On July 3, Venus revealed that for most of her life, doctors dismissed her extreme period pain, nausea, and anemia. She knew she had fibroids, but nobody explained how deeply they were affecting her health or performance.

“I was outraged that I didn’t know this was possible,” she said. “No one should have to go through this.”

She described suffering in silence. The champ layered clothes to hide bleeding, often threw up from cramps, and laid on locker room floors during tournaments.

But she kept playing. “I did not wave the white flag. It is not a thing for me,” she said.

Venus Williams’ fibroids experience is all too familiar for Black women. Fibroids disproportionately impact us, and too often, our pain is minimized or ignored. Her story reflects a broader issue where even world-class athletes go unheard.

Venus shared that some health care professionals said her condition was “natural birth control.” Another doctor brushed off her symptoms as “part of aging.”

What finally prompted her to seek care was a social media post that read, “You don’t have to live like this.” That moment of recognition led her to NYU Langone’s Center for Fibroid Care, where she was diagnosed correctly and underwent a successful myomectomy.

Despite years of misdiagnosis and medical gaslighting, Venus is using her voice now to speak directly to women who may be suffering in silence. “Hopefully, someone will see this interview and say, ‘I can get help. I don’t have to live this way,’” she said.

Venus may be known for her backhands and forehands, but this time, it’s her honesty that’s hitting the hardest. Read the full interview at Today.com.
