Last week returning Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Porsha Williams filed for divorce, ending her 15 month marriage to Nigerian businessman Simon Goubadia just days after his extensive criminal history was exposed, when he was denied U.S. Citizenship for the fourth time because of his record [click here if you missed that].
Real Housewives of Atlanta producer Andy Cohen claims he and the other producers were blindsided by this negative turn of events, because Porsha's storyline after turning from a 3-year-hiatus was supposed to be her 'happily ever after...'
From Page Six
Andy Cohen was “taken aback” by news of Porsha Williams’ divorce.
Speaking on the latest episode of SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live,” the Bravo honcho revealed that he and the other “Real Housewives of Atlanta” producers were not kept in the loop about the reality star’s marital woes before she pulled the plug on her marriage.
“First of all, Porsha announced last week that she is leaving Simon and I gotta tell you something, I was saying to the other producers of ‘Atlanta,’ when the news started breaking about Simon and some of his immigration issues, I was like, ‘This is not…’ I was so surprised.”
Cohen also denied that the Bravolebrity’s relationship was a factor in her upcoming return to “RHOA.”
“None of us knew any of this was on the horizon and this was really meant to be Porsha’s happily ever after kind of victory lap season,” he said. “So it’s just, I was so surprised and taken aback and listen, we wanted Porsha on the show for Porsha.”
