Atlanta, USA — July 18, 2025: Renowned businessman Simon Guobadia has reportedly filed a $500,000 lawsuit against his ex-wife and reality TV star, Porsha Williams, accusing her of defamation over posts she made on Instagram.
According to the lawsuit, Guobadia alleges that Porsha Williams made social media posts in July 2024 that, though not directly naming him, insinuated he suffers from erectile dysfunction (ED). The businessman claims these posts damaged his personal and business reputation, resulted in lost business opportunities, and caused him emotional distress.
Context of the Dispute
This legal action follows the couple’s highly publicised divorce, where the court ruled in Porsha Williams’ favour. As part of the settlement, Guobadia was ordered to:
-
Pay $40,000 monthly in alimony
-
Grant Porsha Williams exclusive use of their Atlanta mansion
Guobadia contends that the alleged defamatory statements on social media further compounded his challenges, prompting the substantial damages claim.
Broader Implications
The lawsuit underscores the potential legal consequences of social media commentary between high-profile ex-spouses, particularly when reputations and businesses are involved.
Location Relevance
While the parties reside in the United States, the case continues to attract significant interest globally, including in Nigeria, given Guobadia's Nigerian-American heritage.
