The world of reality television thrives on drama, but even by the genre’s standards, the escalating war between Porsha Williams and her ex-husband, Simon Guobadia, has reached a level of toxicity and calculated malice that is truly unprecedented. What began as a messy, high-stakes divorce has officially exploded into a scandal that threatens to dismantle Porsha’s carefully constructed public image, all thanks to a stunning, “next-level nasty” video leak orchestrated from across the globe.

Just days after Porsha bravely—or perhaps, foolishly—chose to reveal a new layer of her identity by coming out as bisexual, admitting she was dating both a man and a woman, Simon Guobadia pounced. His weapon of choice? A private, explicit video allegedly featuring Porsha and her female lover. The footage has spread across the internet like wildfire, and Porsha’s name is now synonymous with the most salacious gossip, an overnight humiliation that has left her fan base and critics alike completely gagged.

The Spark that Ignited the Inferno

 

The prelude to this atomic explosion was subtle, but pointed. Porsha, discussing her love life post-divorce at a public event, spoke of her current dating pool, stating she had “narrowed it down to two.” Crucially, she dropped a sly, indirect jab at her estranged husband, admitting she was having trouble opening up because her new prospects were “not narcissists.” It was a classic reality TV subtle-but-not-so-subtle dig at Simon, who she has frequently referred to with the term since their split.

That small act of public shade, however, appears to have been the trigger Simon Guobadia was waiting for. Already feeling scorned and having previously vowed revenge after their notoriously nasty divorce, Simon’s response was immediate and devastating. He did not merely confirm Porsha’s exploration of her sexuality; he weaponized it.

Simon not only leaked the video, but he doubled down with explosive accusations, claiming Porsha had a staggering five lovers while they were still married, calling her a “fraud” whose entire public persona was built on carefully curated lies. The level of detail in his alleged leak is particularly cruel and humiliating: the video, according to Simon’s claims, was recorded while they were married, with Porsha allegedly bringing her affair partners into their matrimonial home and even using the same bed they shared.

The public shift in Simon’s narrative is as calculated as the leak itself. During the initial divorce proceedings, claims of Porsha’s infidelity were floated, but the focus was on general “sexually intimate” acts outside the marriage. According to sources, Simon previously dismissed her cheating with women as not counting, as long as it wasn’t with another man. However, with Porsha now proudly out of the closet and publicly dating a woman, Simon saw the perfect moment to erase that distinction, using her revelation to justify his complete public dismantling of her reputation. It is a stunning, manipulative pivot that turns her personal truth into the fuel for his vengeance.

 

A Feud Rooted in Digital Bloodshed

 

To understand the ferocity of this latest attack, one must look back at the sheer bitterness that defined the Porsha-Simon divorce. This was never a clean split; it was an all-out, digital battlefield where no line was too sacred to cross.

Their animosity reached its first peak when Porsha delivered a blow so personal it seemed impossible to recover from. She exposed Simon on social media, alleging he suffered from Erectile Dysfunction (ED). She didn’t just mention it; she posted screenshots detailing the emotional fallout of the condition, suggesting his anger and frustration were merely side effects of his inability to perform. It was a vicious, unsparing attack on his manhood, crossing a line few would dare to approach.

Simon’s response at the time was the first sign that this was a man whose fury was not fleeting. He clapped back, referencing Porsha’s “wife for the streets” past and, most chillingly, vowed that there would be consequences for her inflammatory and defamatory statements. He wrote: “A woman that has a history of coming for the manhood of every ex peddling same old narrative and tricks. Unfortunately, you met the right one.”

And he meant it.

The divorce itself seemed to favor Porsha: she secured the mansion and cars, and reportedly even received monthly alimony. But the ultimate, cold-blooded act of vengeance came when Simon was deported to Nigeria due to being in the US illegally. While rumors that Porsha was the one who reported him to ICE remain unconfirmed, the geographical separation provided Simon with the perfect shield for his revenge. He was abroad, waiting, watching for the moment to strike, and Porsha’s casual announcement of her new, bisexual reality proved to be the open window he needed.

The video leak is the terrifying fulfillment of Simon’s earlier promise. Having been stripped of his wealth, his marriage, and his residence in the U.S., his only remaining asset—and his most potent weapon—was the private, compromising information he held. The question now being whispered across social media is: does the threat of more videos truly mean he has an arsenal of tapes, and how far is he willing to go to see Porsha’s life reduced to ashes?

 

The Question of Karma and Hypocrisy

 

The public reaction is sharply divided, illustrating the complexity of Porsha’s past. While many are rightfully outraged, calling the video leak a textbook example of “revenge p*rn”—a crime that is emotionally, psychologically, and often legally devastating—others are less sympathetic, citing Porsha’s own fraught history with the LGBTQ+ community and the concept of sexual exploration.

This segment of the audience points to Porsha’s past on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, specifically her malicious and bizarre storyline against co-star Kandi Burruss. Porsha infamously accused Kandi and her husband of planning to rape her in a “sex dungeon,” and later—when that story imploded—she pivoted to labeling Kandi a “lesbian” in a clear attempt to villainize her co-star’s private life.

Kandi, who rarely holds back, responded by spilling her own tea, claiming Porsha had previously kissed her and wanted to engage in a sexual liaison with both Kandi and her husband. Kandi even presented texts from Porsha that night, confirming the star was indeed interested in a freaky encounter, but then got embarrassed and tried to cover it up with lies.

This history paints a complicated picture: Porsha once attempted to use the very concepts of lesbianism and sexual exploration as a weapon to destroy Kandi, only to have her own genuine—albeit formerly private—sexual identity exposed and used against her years later. For some observers, the current scandal feels like “karma spinning the block,” a brutal reckoning for a woman who built her initial fame on drama, manufactured narratives, and a willingness to step on others.

 

A Legal Quagmire and the Uglier Future

Porsha Williams is now threatening immediate legal action, an understandable move against an act that amounts to devastating digital assault. However, Simon Guobadia has built himself a fortress of impunity. Because he was deported and is now residing in Nigeria, the legal process of serving him and pursuing a successful revenge p*rn prosecution becomes an agonizingly complex and stressful international affair. He may, unfortunately, get away with what he has done, using the distance of an entire continent as his ultimate defense.

The tragedy of this scandal is that Porsha’s private life has been publicly commodified and brutalized. The initial divorce was simply a civil dispute; this is an act of total character assassination. Simon’s calculated moves feel more sinister and cold than ever, and Porsha’s entire image is now resting on a dangerously unstable foundation. The story is far from over—with Simon hinting at more videos and Porsha lawyering up, the next round of this fight is not just going to be ugly; it threatens to become the most disastrous, humiliating scandal reality television has ever witnessed.
