When a man keeps his financial sources hidden, it’s bound to raise questions eventually. There’s a conspicuous lifestyle attached to it, which explains why Porsha and Simon are frequently jetting off abroad. Brace yourselves, folks, because the latest scoop confirms that Porsha is indeed parting ways with her husband Simon, and it’s shaping up to be quite the messy divorce. Simon hasn’t held back in throwing shade at Porsha on social media ever since news of the split surfaced. Rumors are swirling that the divorce might be linked to Simon’s alleged involvement in fraudulent activities, including credit card and bank fraud, which could potentially lead to deportation. As if that weren’t enough drama, word on the street is Porsha is freaking out because she’s slated to appear on the upcoming season of Real Housewives of Atlanta, and she fears she’ll be dragged through the mud over this scandal, which is expected to dominate the storyline. Some say Porsha is enamored with the lavish lifestyle Simon provides and cares little about its origins as long as it keeps flowing. Now, before diving into the chaos, let’s set the stage a bit. Porsha and Simon crossed paths for the first time in 2021 while filming Real Housewives of Atlanta.
During Simon’s tenure with his former wife Fallon, their relationship eventually ended in April 2021. Surprisingly, in that very month, Simon and Porsha revealed they were an item. Despite widespread skepticism suggesting their involvement preceded Simon’s separation, they pushed forward. A mere month later, they were engaged, culminating in a lavish November 2022 wedding held at the Four Seasons in Atlanta, attended by over 350 guests, including Porsha’s co-stars Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, and Kim Zolciak-Biermann. Initially, their marital journey appeared seamless, even sparking discussions about expanding their family, given Simon’s five children and Porsha’s daughter from a previous relationship. However, Porsha recently threw a curveball, initiating divorce proceedings after just 15 months. This decision blindsided many, particularly because shortly before the divorce filing, the couple seemed content. They shared Valentine’s Day celebrations and were spotted enjoying leisurely yacht outings. Just days prior to the divorce announcement, Porsha even requested to be addressed by her married name on social media, asserting her commitment to the marriage.
Who announced Porsha Williams’s return to “Real Housewives of Atlanta”? False alarm! However, Porsha Guobadia is making her entrance. Now, the burning question on everyone’s lips is: what triggered her sudden shift from boasting about her marriage to divorcing and showing her husband the door? Well, rumors are swirling, pointing fingers at the recent credit card and bank fraud charges slapped against him by the US government.
For those out of the loop, the notorious tea page, All About the T, spilled the beans, leaking court documents detailing Simon’s criminal past, sending shockwaves across the internet. Allegedly, he’s facing deportation over charges including credit card fraud, bank fraud, identity theft, and a fraudulent marriage for a green card. According to court records, Simon first set foot in the US in 1982 on a visitor’s visa but overstayed his welcome. Attempting a marriage to a US citizen for a shot at adjustment status, his plan was thwarted as Immigration and Naturalization Service deemed it a sham. Following this setback, he exited the country voluntarily before facing deportation, only to return in 1996 on another visitor’s visa. However, his return was short-lived, with an arrest for bank fraud the following year, pleading guilty to all felony charges. But that wasn’t the end of his legal woes, as subsequent arrests for fraud and credit card shenanigans followed in quick succession.
In 1992, a judge ordered his deportation to Nigeria, yet he managed to evade this fate, seeking temporary residency under the Special Agriculture Worker program, utilizing a false identity.
He didn’t disclose his criminal past to them, but the program eventually assisted him in obtaining his green card, allowing him to remain in the US. However, things took a turn for the worse when he attempted to apply for US citizenship in 2016 under a false identity he had used for the green card. Predictably, his application was rejected due to the unlawfully obtained resident status. Subsequent attempts in 2020 and 2023 met the same fate. Essentially, Simon exposed himself by seeking citizenship under false pretenses, prompting an investigation that unearthed his criminal history. Consequently, he faces charges and the likelihood of deportation to Nigeria.
Porsha, on the other hand, wants no part in this ordeal and initiated divorce proceedings before matters escalated further. According to blogger Jesse Wu, known for her connections in Atlanta’s celebrity circles, the divorce is a strategic move by Porsha to safeguard her assets. By separating her finances from Simon’s through divorce, she ensures her assets won’t be seized alongside his in the legal proceedings. It’s a preemptive measure to protect herself financially.
However, Simon isn’t ready to let Porsha off the hook easily. He took to Instagram, suggesting her involvement in his fraudulent activities. His cryptic post, “I will stop loving my wife when divorce is final,” hints at underlying tensions between them regarding their legal troubles.
But the most noteworthy comment came when someone remarked on his post, “If immigration finds out your sponsor, be it your wife or otherwise, has a criminal record, it won’t bode well.” Simon simply responded with, “Yep.” Speculation arose that the criminal charge he acknowledged Porsha having might refer to her 2014 misdemeanor arrest. However, some suspect a deeper connection, suggesting both Porsha and Simon were involved in his fraudulent activities, with Simon possibly hinting at implicating her. This speculation gained traction when Tasha K disclosed on her show that Porsha was fully aware of Simon’s actions but turned a blind eye because of the lavish gifts and money he bestowed upon her. Tasha claimed she and Porsha shared the same makeup artist who spilled details about their activities. According to Tasha, Porsha’s primary focus was money and the extravagant lifestyle it afforded her, regardless of its source. Allegedly, Porsha was concealing this lifestyle, which frequently involved international travel, indicating why she and Simon were frequently abroad.
Have you ever noticed how they always seem to be in Dubai, Mexico, or Nigeria? She catches him off guard while he’s in Nigeria dealing with longstanding green card issues. I don’t think she fully grasped the extent of his problems, given her naive nature. It’s a chaotic situation, and it’s glaringly obvious that the drama between Porsha and Simon is far from over. If Simon continues to air their issues on social media, it won’t be long before Porsha finds herself in trouble too. As usual, everyone has their own opinions on the matter. Some speculate that Porsha rushed into marriage, thinking Simon was wealthy and available after divorcing Fallon, only to now realize his financial troubles. Others wonder how she’ll be treated by the other Housewives. It’s clear that Porsha’s sudden divorce announcement contradicts her recent excitement about being on Real Housewives of Atlanta again. But enough about what others think—I’m curious about your take. Why do you think Porsha filed for divorce from Simon? Do you believe she’s trying to distance herself from the potential fallout of his legal issues and deportation?
