The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams is speaking out after her estranged husband, Simon Guobadia, was detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a mass deportation raid. Guobadia, a native of Nigeria, is being held at the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security records, reported People. Williams, 43, addressed news of his detention in a statement posted to Instagram. “It’s disheartening to see my estranged husband make choices that have led to this outcome. At this moment my priority is moving forward with my family. 🙏🏾,” she wrote in a since-deleted post. Guobadia marked his time in the United States with a celebratory message last year, writing on Instagram in February 2024, “Happy Tuesday to all who ever overcame and persevered in life. You are winning👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 #42yearsLivinginAmerica." In the same month, Williams and Guobadia went their separate ways after nearly 15 months of marriage. Since their split, the couple has been locked in a legal battle over the details of their prenuptial agreement and the separation of their assets, reported People. Guobadia sued Williams separately for defamation over claims that he suffered from erectile dysfunction.
