In a startling revelation that has sent shockwaves through celebrity gossip circles, Nigerian-American entrepreneur Simon Guobadia has opened up about his failed marriage to Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams, calling the union a “very bad idea” and claiming he was “targeted for his money.”
Guobadia, known for his wealth, business ventures, and previous ties to reality TV, made the comments in a candid social media post that quickly went viral. In the post, he didn’t mince words about his regrets, stating:
“Marrying Porsha was a mistake. I was targeted, not loved. It was never about me—it was about the lifestyle and the access my money could provide.”
The couple, who tied the knot in 2022 in a lavish, multi-day wedding that grabbed headlines worldwide, appeared at first to be one of reality TV’s most glamorous power duos. But cracks began to show soon after. Rumors of marital strife, financial disagreements, and conflicting lifestyles swirled on blogs and fan pages for months before the couple officially split in early 2024.
While Porsha has largely stayed silent on the issue publicly, Guobadia’s latest comments hint at deep personal betrayal. Sources close to him say he now feels used and regrets not seeing the red flags sooner.
The businessman emphasized that he’s now focused on “healing, rebuilding,” and “learning from the experience,” while cautioning others—especially high-profile individuals—about the dangers of relationships rooted in materialism rather than genuine connection.
Social media reactions have been mixed. While some fans have expressed sympathy for Simon, others accuse him of deflecting blame or airing dirty laundry unnecessarily. Meanwhile, supporters of Porsha have called the statement “one-sided” and “disrespectful.”
As of now, Porsha Williams has not officially responded to Simon’s comments, but insiders say she may address the matter in an upcoming media appearance or project.
One thing is certain: what once seemed like a fairytale romance has now ended in public heartbreak, raising questions about fame, fortune, and the blurred lines between love and luxury in the world of celebrity relationships.
