Reality star Porsha Williams achieved a major legal victory early Wednesday after a Georgia appellate court denied her ex-husband Simon Guobadia’s latest effort to overturn their divorce agreement.
Court Uppolds Prenup; Porsha Williams Celebrates
The Georgia Court of Appeals rejected Guobadia’s request for a discretionary appeal on Sept. 9, upholding the prenuptial agreement that had been enforced in June 2025. That agreement awarded Williams $40,000 per month in spousal support for 14 months, ownership of half the equity in their shared home, and continued residence there for 36 months—expenses to be covered by Guobadia. She also received several luxury vehicles and $224,000 in legal fees.
Williams reacted to the ruling with public relief. On Instagram Stories, she wrote, “It’s over!!!!,” followed by “Free …” in a video of herself boarding a private plane to the tune of Destiny’s Child’s Free.
Though the appeal was denied, Guobadia remains steadfast. “We intend to continue pursuing this appeal, as we have not yet exhausted all legal remedies,” he told People magazine. He added that he anticipates a decision “within approximately 12–24 months, depending on how far the opposition chooses to take the matter.”
He also revealed plans to advance a defamation suit against Williams. “In addition, I have a federal defamation case that has yet to be heard,” he said, noting preparations are underway for the discovery phase. “I am a very patient man … I am confident that I will ultimately prevail,” he continued. “Stay tuned.”
Williams and Guobadia married in November 2022 after a whirlwind romance. By February 2024, Williams had filed for divorce, citing an irretrievably broken marriage, just days before filming of Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 began.
The split quickly escalated into a legal battle centered around their prenuptial agreement. Guobadia argued it should be voided because Williams allegedly failed to disclose her intention to return to reality television—a decision he said netted her $8–$9 million in 2024—and because she violated a confidentiality clause by discussing their financial arrangements publicly. Williams denied both claims.
In June 2025, the divorce was finalized in Williams’s favor. The judge upheld the prenup, endorsing its terms—from support payments to vehicle transfers—to be enforced.
Guobadia’s legal and personal troubles also heightened tension. After multiple immigration violations, including fraud and overstayed visas, he was deported to Nigeria earlier this year.
