Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams has asked a judge to hold her ex-husband, Simon Guobadia, in contempt for failing to meet financial obligations under their divorce agreement.
Williams filed a petition this week seeking to enforce a June final judgment, contending that Guobadia owes $667,359.55. That amount covers alimony, attorney’s fees, marital home expenses and property taxes.
She alleged his nonpayment represents “a knowing, intentional, and ongoing disregard for this Court’s authority and the Final Judgment it issued.” To resolve the debt, she suggested that Guobadia forfeit his equity stake in their former marital home.
Guobadia Responds With Appeal
Guobadia has pushed back. In a statement to TMZ, he said, “I’m finding out from [a] media publication about the new filings. As you may be aware, the divorce action has been closed, and the matter is now before the Georgia Court of Appeals.”
He added, “We filed a timely appeal (30 days) of the judge’s decision, and I’m sure opposing counsel is aware that a higher court has to rule on the merits of the appeal before a lower court would entertain any ‘new’ court filings. Until then, those filings are tantamount to toilet tissue for the public’s consumption.”
Williams and Guobadia married in 2022. She filed for divorce in early 2024 after approximately fifteen months of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in June 2025 following disputes over their prenuptial agreement and property division.
In February, Guobadia, a Nigerian national, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. His detention led to delays in court proceedings and stirred controversy over the divorce process. While Williams alleged he used the hearing delay as a tactic, Guobadia’s status further complicated the legal timeline.
Williams’ contempt request marks the latest move in what has become a protracted legal battle. The judge must now consider whether to enforce the ruling amid Guobadia’s pending appeal. No court action has been scheduled publicly as of yet.
If held in contempt, Guobadia may be ordered to pay the full amount or surrender his share of the marital home equity. Williams’ attorneys hope the court will recognize what they frame as ongoing disregard for the judgment.
