Simon Guobadia Alleges Porsha Williams Brought ‘Gunman’ to Marital Home In Court Docs, Demands Restraining Order

Porsha Williams, 42, of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” might be in some legal trouble, after allegedly bringing a gunman to the home she once shared with her soon-to-be ex-husband, Simon Guobadia, who is battling his own legal issues.

According to legal documents reportedly filed by Guobadia, Williams brought the man to their marital home last week on Thursday, March 21, and again on March 24. As a result, the Nigerian businessman is hoping that a judge will issue a restraining order against his wife.

The documents reportedly state that Williams had “third parties” to call and harass Guobadia and others connected to the two “in an effort to force them out.”

Also alleged in the filing is that the “Dish Nation” host, her mother and her mother’s boyfriend made a “forcible entry” into the marital home to disassemble security cameras and “tampered with items and evidence.”

“Since the filing of the instant divorce, Wife’s actions have been erratic, unstable, threatening, and harassing to … the house staff, and the minor children,” the documents state, according to Page Six, adding, “[Williams’] behavior has caused safety concerns, especially since there are minor children — [Guobadia’s] children — currently living in the Marital Residence.”

Williams and Guobadia have been making headlines weekly since the reality star filed for divorce in February. The separation has been contentious with both of them taking potshots at each other online. Social media users reviewed the fraud and cheating allegations from both sides, and many seemed to side with Williams.

“She prob brought a gunman to get her stuff cause he seems like the type that will lock someone out- she like Humm NO SIR we coming to get my stuff,” one person wrote on The Shade Room’s Instagram.

“If a woman brings a goon to the house for protection then there must be a threat in the house,” one comment read.

Another wrote, “Simon is an old seasoned playa, Porsha better be careful because he knows how to make her look like the crazy one. This is what he does.”

Some people suggested that the “gunman” was actually her personal security detail, floating theories that Guobadia might be “holding her s—t hostage since she filed for divorce.”

Williams has removed Guobadia’s last name from her bio on Instagram and removed nearly every post with him with the exception of a promotional paid ad. She appears to be keeping herself busy with a trip to L.A. with her bestie, Shamea Morton, and regular outings with her daughter, Pilar, who just turned 5 years old.

As Guobadia, he seems to be on tour after paying visits to Miami, Dubai and Panama in the past few weeks.

One IG user observed Williams and her conduct since the filing, juxtaposing it with the way her estranged partner is behaving, saying, “Y’all noticed Porsha been very quiet through the entire ordeal meanwhile Mr Florida Evens doing the most. He’s definitely the problem.”

The former couple were married for nearly 15 months when Williams filed for divorce on Feb. 22, just three days before their 15-month anniversary.

Many thought the divorce was connected to some of Guobadia’s legal issues including potential deportation stemming from multiple failed attempts at naturalization due to a criminal history involving fraud and overstaying visitor visas. He has lived in America for 42 years, and, as of publishing, his citizenship status remains uncertain.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
