Now Simon is demanding Porsha cough up $500k...

From US

Porsha Williams’ ex-husband Simon Guobadia revealed he is seeking a massive six-figure sum in damages from The Real Housewives of Atlanta star as part of his federal lawsuit against her, Us Weekly can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by Us, Guobadia, 61, told the court he will be seeking $500,000 for lost business opportunities and sponsorships. In addition, he will also be seeking unspecified general damages for harm to his reputation, emotional distress and humiliation.

Guobadia said he believes he is also entitled to punitive damages for Williams’ alleged “malicious conduct.” As Us previously reported, Guobadia sued Williams, 44, for defamation in November 2024 over a series of Instagram posts she made.

Guobadia, who split from Williams in 2024, claimed their relationship became “contentious” when she started “making negative, false and misleading statements about him on social media, using her outsized platform to negatively influence public perception of him.” In his suit, he said Williams made statements regarding erectile dysfunction.

“These posts were intentionally crafted to imply that [Guobadia] suffers from this condition, casting him in a negative and humiliating light,” his lawyer alleged.

Guobadia’s attorney added, “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.”

In court documents, Guobadia argued that Williams’ posts were “presented in a factual manner” that implied he had ED and were “clearly intended to cast” him in a “negative and humiliating light.”

“[Williams’] statements were false; [Guobadia] does not have ED and has never suffered from or been diagnosed with this condition,” his lawyer wrote.

The businessman, who was recently deported, claimed he had suffered emotional distress and personal anguish due to the Instagram posts made by his ex-wife.

His suit added, “By making these claims in a public forum, [Williams] ensured their immediate and widespread dissemination, amplifying the harm to [Guobadia’s] credibility and social esteem.”

In response, Williams demanded the suit be thrown out of court. Her lawyer wrote, “None of [Williams’] posts refer to any particular individual, let alone [Guobadia] specifically. [Williams] cannot and should not be held liable for sharing information regarding a common condition that likely plagues many of [Williams’] social media followers. For this reason, and the reasons detailed herein, this Court should dismiss [Guobadia’s] Complaint in its entirety.”
