Porsha Williams has officially secured the Atlanta mansion she once shared with estranged husband Simon Guobadia, along with more than $1.5 million in reimbursement and the title to a 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost, under a consent settlement that closes out a bruising two-year divorce fight. The two confirmed the terms under oath during an August 5 hearing, according to court documents, marking what appears to be the final chapter of their contentious split.
According to theJasmineBRAND, Guobadia transferred his ownership interest in the Atlanta home to Williams through a quitclaim deed, and she now has full authority to refinance or sell the property in a commercially reasonable manner without his involvement. Court documents specify that Williams is owed $1,568,181.63 in reimbursement from Guobadia's share of the property equity, and any arbitrator involved in the case is explicitly excluded from decisions about refinancing or selling the home. Guobadia reportedly agreed to the terms of the consent order, per Williams' filing.
The settlement resolved all remaining issues between the pair as of the August 5 hearing date, capping a legal saga that began when Williams filed for divorce in February 2024, just months after the couple's November 2022 marriage. The two held a traditional Nigerian ceremony on November 25, 2022, followed by an American ceremony in Atlanta the next day where their official marriage certificate was executed, according to a Fulton County Superior Court filing. All told, the marriage lasted approximately 15 months.
A Long Road Through Fulton County Court
The path to this month's consent order ran through a series of contentious rulings. In June 2025, a Fulton County Superior Court judge upheld the couple's prenuptial agreement, ordering Guobadia to pay Williams $40,000 per month in spousal support for 14 to 15 months plus $224,000 in legal fees, while granting her temporary exclusive use of the Atlanta mansion, according to Essence. Guobadia had contested the prenup by alleging Williams fraudulently concealed her plans to return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Enforcing those rulings proved difficult once Guobadia left the country. He was taken into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody at the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia in February 2025 and was later deported to Nigeria in June 2025 over immigration violations and prior criminal fraud charges, Us Weekly reported. His legal history included visa overstays dating back to the 1980s and a previous deportation in the 1990s.
That distance did not stop Williams from pursuing what she was owed. In August 2025, she filed a petition for citation of contempt against Guobadia in Fulton County Superior Court, alleging he failed to pay more than $667,000 owed under their initial July 2025 divorce decree, covering unpaid alimony, vehicle loans, and attorney fees, per 11Alive. Her legal team sought severe sanctions, claiming Guobadia willfully refused to satisfy his court-ordered obligations.
Appeals, a Dropped Lawsuit, and a Contested Fortune
Guobadia also took his fight to the Georgia Court of Appeals, arguing that Williams' multi-million dollar television income eliminated any need for monthly spousal support, according to The Shade Room. Appellate courts upheld the trial judge's enforcement of the prenuptial agreement despite that challenge. Williams had signed a multi-project talent deal with NBCUniversal in February 2024 to return to Real Housewives of Atlanta for Season 16, announcing the deal the same month she filed for divorce, as Hoodline reported in its earlier coverage of her RHOA return. Guobadia later argued in appeals filings that Williams earned $8 million to $9 million in 2024 from that contract.
Separately, Guobadia voluntarily dismissed a defamation lawsuit he had filed against Williams over her social media posts, citing his deportation and inability to return to the United States for trial, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported in January. Both sides agreed to bear their own legal expenses in that dismissal. Court records reviewed by the AJC show Guobadia had a net worth exceeding $322 million when he married Williams in November 2022, primarily tied to his petroleum distribution firm, Simcol Petroleum, though he claimed during litigation that the business lost value following his deportation, an argument the presiding judge rejected.
The 15,284-square-foot Atlanta estate at the center of the settlement has also carried its own financial baggage. In June 2025, Guobadia's former divorce attorney filed a six-figure attorney's lien against the property over roughly $200,000 in unpaid legal fees owed by Guobadia, according to Facebook reporting from Slay Queen Diamond Appiah, while Williams held possession of the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home.
Guobadia Claps Back Over the Deed
News of the settlement did not sit well with Guobadia. On Friday, he responded publicly on Instagram, claiming Williams “inherited $8,000,000 in debt” attached to the mansion and still owed him money, while insisting his real win was walking away “debt-free,” according to WDKX. He posted the comments on Instagram Stories shortly after news broke that Williams had secured the quitclaim deed. The dossier does not indicate that Williams has responded to those specific claims, and it remains unclear whether the alleged debt figure will factor into any future dispute over the property.
For now, the consent order appears to close the book on the couple's courtroom battles, even as the public narrative war between the two exes shows no signs of slowing down.
