In a plot twist that could rival any episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Simon Guobadia is reportedly pushing forward with his divorce from Porsha Williams while being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Yes, you read that right. Divorce papers are being shuffled while Simon sits in an ICE detention facility in Georgia, facing possible deportation. Somewhere in reality TV heaven, Bravo’s cameras are weeping over missed content.

Simon Guobadia, a businessman with a rather colorful immigration record, including reports of past deportations and denied citizenship attempts, is allegedly committed to finalizing the split despite his legal entanglements. Meanwhile, Porsha, who left the RHOA franchise for love and marriage, is now back in the headlines not for peach-holding but for courtroom proceedings.


Why Simon Guobadia's Divorce from Porsha Williams Went Viral

If there’s one thing the internet loves, it’s a mess. And this situation? It’s extra messy with a side of federal involvement.

The news exploded across gossip sites and social media feeds, thanks to the sheer absurdity of it all: a luxury-loving entrepreneur, a reality TV queen, a federal detention center, and now divorce proceedings that continue regardless of the ICE-sized elephant in the room. Add the fact that this couple only tied the knot about 15 months ago, and it’s clear why people are grabbing popcorn.

What really made this story catch fire, though, wasn’t just the drama; it was the timing. Just days after Porsha confirmed the split, reports emerged about Simon Guobadia’s ICE detention, sparking theories, side-eyes, and more shade than a Georgia pine tree.

The reactions online have been chef’s kiss, equal parts hilarious, savage, and suspiciously well-informed.

One user perfectly captured the collective side-eye with a comment that read:

“She absolutely called ICE on him, I just know it 😭”

Whether or not Porsha picked up the phone is still just speculation, but the theory has gained traction, largely because of how quickly everything unraveled. The internet may not have evidence, but it has vibes, and that’s apparently enough.

Another user, clearly over both Simon and Porsha’s drama, joked:

“Can he take Porsha & her sheets with him please?”

The shade here is doing overtime, and the sheets reference? A likely nod to their over-the-top lifestyle that many felt was never as glamorous as it appeared.

Then came a dose of cold, hard history, courtesy of a user who reminded everyone:

“Mind you he’s been deported twice already and y’all blaming Porsha.”

It’s a fair point. While some folks were ready to throw Porsha under the ICE bus, others were quick to note that Simon Guobadia’s immigration troubles didn’t just appear overnight. This isn’t exactly his first tango with the system.

And perhaps the most brutally honest take came from someone watching it all burn down with popcorn in hand:

“The way they both took each other down🤣🤣🤣”

While Simon Guobadia reportedly insisted on in-person court appearances, which detention obviously complicates, he’s still pushing forward with the legal split. Porsha, meanwhile, has spoken out in interviews, calling the divorce “a death in the family” and hinting at just how emotionally drained she is.

But with Simon Guobadia locked in a legal labyrinth and the court of public opinion louder than ever, one thing is clear: this divorce isn’t just about signing papers, it’s about untangling a whole mess of headlines, history, and hot takes.

And if you thought the drama was over, just wait for the reunion episode that will sadly never be filmed.

Because in this real-life reality show, the drama unfolds.
