Simon Guobadia, ex-husband of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams, has filed a federal lawsuit accusing her of defaming him with social media posts about his private parts.
According to court documents, Simon is seeking $500,000 in damages for lost business opportunities and sponsorships, along with unspecified compensation for emotional distress, humiliation, and harm to his reputation.
The Nigerian businessman, who split from Porsha in 2024, originally filed the defamation suit in November of that year, claiming their relationship turned “contentious” when she began “making negative, false and misleading statements about him on social media.”
“These posts were intentionally crafted to imply that [Guobadia] suffers from this condition, casting him in a negative and humiliating light,” his lawyer stated, per US Weekly.
His attorney continued, “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.”
Court documents argue the posts were “presented in a factual manner” and “clearly intended to cast” him in a “negative and humiliating light.” His lawyer wrote, “[Williams’] statements were false; [Guobadia] does not have ED and has never suffered from or been diagnosed with this condition.”
He claims she used her large following to amplify the false allegations, doing irreparable harm to his reputation.
Porsha asked the court to dismiss the suit, arguing, “None of [Williams’] posts refer to any particular individual, let alone [Guobadia] specifically.”
