Simon Guobadia, the estranged husband of reality star Porsha Williams, has filed a defamation lawsuit against her, citing emotional distress and damage to his reputation stemming from remarks she allegedly made about his private life. The legal drama follows Williams’ social media posts from four months ago, where she implied Guobadia suffered from erectile dysfunction.
The Lawsuit
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Guobadia accuses the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum of making “false and defamatory” statements about his sexual health on social media. Guobadia claims Williams presented her comments as factual, which he argues led to public ridicule and humiliation.
The lawsuit alleges that Williams’ remarks were both “extreme” and “outrageous,” causing him significant emotional distress. Guobadia is seeking substantial damages, arguing that Williams’ massive Instagram following amplified the impact of her statements.

Public Fallout
The controversy erupted when Williams shared posts suggesting her ex-husband struggled with erectile dysfunction. Guobadia, who maintains the claims are baseless, says the accusations have harmed his reputation and subjected him to ridicule online and in public.
With her prominent platform, Williams’ comments quickly went viral, drawing both criticism and speculation from fans and media outlets alike.
Legal Implications
Defamation lawsuits in cases involving public figures are notoriously challenging, as the plaintiff must prove not only that the statements were false but also that they were made with actual malice. However, Guobadia’s legal team appears confident that Williams’ remarks crossed a line by being presented as fact rather than opinion.
The lawsuit could spark further tensions between the former couple, who have already had their share of public disputes since their split.
Reality TV Meets Real-Life Drama
For fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the feud between Guobadia and Williams adds another layer of intrigue to the pair’s already contentious relationship. As the case unfolds, it raises questions about the boundaries of sharing personal grievances online and the legal consequences that can follow.
