Simon Guobadia shares his true feelings about his short-lived marriage to ex-wife, Porsha Williams.
In a recent interview, the Nigerian-born businessman said that he “absolutely regrets” his marriage. Guobadia and Williams were married for 15 months before filing for divorce. In the interview, he said he felt that he was “targeted for financial reasons by Williams.”
“I kept asking, ‘Why did you file for a divorce?’ And she wouldn’t say anything,” he recalled. “This felt like a coup…I was totally blindsided.” Guobadia said he tried to reach out to the Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s family but was unsuccessful and admitted that he sent her a mean text message that read, “This was a $5 million rehab project that I took on.”
The reality star filed for divorce from Guobadia in February 2024. In an interview she had, she revealed that she had hired an immigration attorney after she discovered some “complex issues” with her soon-to-be-ex-husband’s legal status, stating that she felt her relationship was “headed down a dark road.”
Guobadia added, “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.’”
Simon Guobadia was deported to Nigeria earlier this month due to immigration violations including credit card and bank fraud. He continued, “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.”
