According to sources, RHOA star Porsha Williams' estranged husband is in ICE detention

According to documents obtained by Us Weekly, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams’ estranged husband, Nigerian citizen Simon Guobadia, is currently detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Guobadia is currently detained at the Stewart Detention Centre in Lumpkin, Georgia, according to records obtained by Us Weekly from the US Department of Homeland Security.

His current status is “in ICE custody,” according to the outlet.

Earlier this week, Channel 2 Action News reported that Guobadia’s latest attempt to become a naturalised citizen was denied.

He first arrived in the United States in 1982, overstayed his visa, and was deported in 1985. He returned to the United States in 1986 and again overstayed his work visa.

After being arrested and deported to Nigeria in the 1990s, Guobadia formally applied for citizenship in 2016, but it was denied.

Williams and Guobadia married in 2022, but the reality star filed for divorce in early 2024, after only 15 months of marriage.

In November, Guobadia filed a lawsuit against Williams, seeking $75,000 in compensatory and punitive damages for defamation, emotional distress, and invasion of privacy at the hands of his estranged wife.

According to the document, Guobadia claims that Williams intentionally and maliciously posted “false and defamatory statements about Plaintiff on social media platforms, specifically implying that (Guobadia) suffers from erectile dysfunction.”

Guobadia claims in the document that the posts “have caused significant harm to Plaintiff’s personal and professional reputation, subjected him to public ridicule, and inflicted severe emotional distress.”
