At the end of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16, we saw Porsha Williams running a victory lap through the sprawling mansion she used to share with ex-husband, Simon Guobadia. After a lengthy legal battle, she finally got the green light to bring Bravo cameras into the home. Now, that same mansion just got hit with a massive lien over Simon’s alleged unpaid debt. We’ve got the details you need to know and how all of this might impact Porsha’s living arrangements.
Simon Guobadia is accused of owing his divorce lawyer over $200k, leading to a lien for Porsha Williams
As a reminder, Porsha and Simon were married for 15 months before wading into a year-long divorce battle, which saw the RHOA star fighting to enforce their prenup. On June 11, a judge ruled in Porsha’s favor, and they enforced the prenup. That granted her possession of the home, along with spousal support. What we didn’t know is that the day prior, Simon’s lawyer filed a lien against the Georgia home.
According to Us Weekly, Simon’s divorce lawyer, Onyema Farrey, filed an attorney’s lien against the mansion on June 10, 2025. The lien accused Simon of owing $205,884.25 for services provided throughout the divorce proceedings.
Meanwhile, Simon claimed in court that he had zero money to his name. He has a company called Simcol, and he said its value went from $296 million to virtually nothing after he was detained by ICE and deported to his home country of Nigeria. A judge said that the claim lacked credibility.
So, how does this all impact Porsha? Well, in the divorce docs, Porsha was granted 36 months to either refinance the mortgage on the $7.3 million mansion to remove Simon from the title, or she’ll need to sell the home. She’ll have to pay Simon half of the equity. The six-figure lien on the house will undoubtedly cause that process to become even more complicated.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is streaming on Peacock along with Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
