Simon Guobadia makes it clear that he “absolutely” regrets his short lived marriage to Porsha Williams, claiming that he “was targeted for financial reasons” by The Real Housewives of Atlanta star.

“I kept asking, ‘Why did you file for a divorce?’ And she wouldn’t say anything,” Simon tells Page Six, insisting that he also could not get in touch with the 44-year-old’s family either.

“This felt like a coup. … I was totally blindsided,” he adds.

Simon wed Porsha Williams, of RHOA fame, in November 2022. The 43-year-old reality star filed for divorce in February 2024 after 14 months of marriage. Porsha filed for divorce after uncovering “complex” issues with Simon’s legal status and felt it was “headed down a dark road.”

“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 explains. The Nigerian business made was deported to Nigeria early this month due to immigration violations which include bank and credit card fraud.

However, Simon claims that he and Porsha “never had those discussions” about her concerns over his immigration status.

“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,” he continues.

“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.”

Earlier this month, a judge finalized Simon and Porsha’s divorce with the RHOA star emerging victorious as the judge ruled in favor of upholding the former couple’s prenuptial agreement.

“She’ll receive $40,000 a month in alimony for the length of the marriage, which was 14 months,” Simon explains, noting that Porsha will walk away with $560,000 in total.

“She gets to stay in the [marital] house [in Atlanta] — all expenses paid, including the mortgage — for up to 36 months. And if she chooses to own the home, she would have to refinance the the property in her name and give me 50% equity in the home.”

When asked about the ruling, Simon, says that the judge’s decision “is going to be appealed.”

He adds, “It’s basically what I’ve held from day one about this case when I realized that I was targeted. I’ve had prenups in previous relationships, and I’ve honored those prenups without reservation. This time around, I’ve chosen to challenge in court — all the way to the Supreme Court if I have to.”
