It’s being talked about on the streets that Porsha Williams filed for divorce from Simon Gowadia because he cheated on her, similar to what happened with Falynn Pina. It’s like there’s no sincerity or honesty in this situation. People are calling him out for being hypocritical and fraudulent, especially since he’s criticized others for the same behavior he’s now engaging in.
Personally, I believe the divorce could be related to Simon’s potential deportation or legal issues in the US. But it seems there’s more to this story than just that. Despite many thinking it’s due to Simon’s legal troubles, he seems to be flaunting his actions in front of immigration authorities. His recent social media posts suggest he’s unapologetic and possibly dismissive of his situation.
Interestingly, Porsha’s silence on Simon’s posts was noted by many. Normally, she would engage with his content, but this time she didn’t even acknowledge his birthday wishes for their son. This change in behavior sparked speculation about the reasons behind their divorce.
Porsha’s apparent absence was due to her focus on finalizing her divorce from Simon. Yet, wasn’t it just recently that they were in Dubai, seemingly enjoying life? Porsha was even praising Simon as the best husband on Valentine’s Day. Now, with this divorce underway, it gives the impression that Simon’s recent legal troubles might be a factor.
In the divorce filing, Porsha seeks to end the marriage on the grounds that it is irretrievably broken with no chance of reconciliation. She confirms that they are currently living apart and requests enforcement of their prenuptial agreement, signed on November 17, 2022, shortly before their marriage. Additionally, she asks the court to order Simon to cover her reasonable attorney fees and litigation expenses related to the divorce.
To many, this divorce isn’t surprising considering the circumstances of how they got together, separate from Simon’s legal issues. Just to recap how their relationship began: Porsha and Simon announced their engagement in May 2021, after only a month of dating. Porsha captioned a selfie with, “Yes, we are crazy in love. I know it’s fast, but we are living each day to its fullest. I choose happiness every morning and every night.” Simon also shared about the engagement, mentioning, “Getting married again was never a question in my mind, but I did not expect to be blessed with the mate so soon. The interesting thing about life is that it is an individual Journey. Porsha and I, with the support of our loved ones, have chosen to travel together as one and spread love and positivity to our community, which is in desperate need of positive and healthy images of the best versions of ourselves.”
Porsche and Simon got married in November 2022 in a Nigerian traditional ceremony, followed by a ceremony in Atlanta. Their quick marriage raised eyebrows, especially because Simon’s ex, Falynn, is a close acquaintance of Porsche. Falynn announced her split from Simon a month before their engagement, expressing gratitude for their time together. Despite accusations that Porsche betrayed Falynn, Porsche defended herself by stating that Simon had already filed for divorce before they got together. Porsche is now also divorcing Simon.
Porsche claims her divorce has nothing to do with recent allegations about Simon’s past, but it’s likely related. Court documents show Simon’s history of legal issues dating back to 1982, including overstaying visas, fraud convictions, and deportation in the early ’90s.
According to court documents, Simon managed to return under a new identity through the Special Agricultural Worker (SAW) program, leveraging SAW immigration benefits. His temporary resident status transitioned to permanent resident status after a waiting period, effectively making him a permanent resident without detection by immigration authorities. However, the court documents reveal that Simon’s success was based on deception; he falsified his application by denying any past arrests or criminal record.
This recent revelation came to light during Simon’s citizenship application process. Earlier reports from 2021 surfaced with details about Simon’s financial troubles, including 21 liens, nine judgments, and two loans from PNC Bank for his two Rolls Royces. Additionally, he allegedly owed substantial back taxes to the IRS and had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy multiple times. In 2014, his businesses collapsed under a debt of $3.8 million.
Let’s not overlook the accusation that Simon engaged a particular firm to falsely inflate his net worth and create the illusion of verification by examining his financial records. Additionally, it has been revealed that Simon’s business website was merely a basic template lacking any substantive description of his professional activities, and some of his purported businesses appear to be fabricated to enhance his appearance of wealth.
It seems likely that Porche finally realized she is not married to a wealthy man and decided to leave. However, it’s surprising that she is only recognizing these issues now. Concerns about Simon have circulated since their marriage in 2021, and much of this information is publicly available in official records. For instance, Simon’s struggles with citizenship date back to 2016 when his initial naturalization attempt was denied due to irregularities in his permanent resident status. Another application in 2020 was similarly rejected because he was not lawfully admitted for permanent residence. Despite these setbacks, he pursued another application in 2023, seeking court intervention to obtain US citizenship. However, on January 11th of this year, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services was granted the authority to dismiss his case.
Perhaps Porsche was aware of these legal matters and anticipated resolving them, implying that their divorce is likely due to another reason. There are rumors circulating that Simon cheated on her. Personally, I find it plausible that Simon cheated, given that both of them were dishonest about the timeline of their relationship. Allegedly, they were involved as far back as 2020 when Simon was still with Falynn. This suggests hypocrisy on Simon’s part, as he publicly criticized Falynn for cheating on him while engaging in similar behavior himself, possibly even with Porsche.
Do you remember when Simon’s other romantic interest, Jessica, revealed to The Jasmine Brand that she had supposedly been dating Simon since they met in March 2021? According to Jessica, Simon expressed interest in getting to know her better through multiple text messages, giving her the impression that they were headed towards a serious relationship and could explore an open arrangement once his divorce was finalized. To her surprise, she then discovered Simon’s engagement to Porsche. Jessica felt confused and questioned how Simon could claim to have found love while continuing to engage in fast-paced activities with her, like driving his Ferrari at high speeds, leaving her feeling disoriented in photos. She wondered aloud, “How does that all make sense?”
It’s conceivable that Simon may have cheated on Porsha too. Given the legal troubles he’s currently entangled in, Porsha might not feel compelled to salvage the marriage. Porsha recently shared her first public message since news of the split, expressing gratitude for the prayers and support. Just hours earlier, Simon posted on Instagram, suggesting that love ceased when divorce became imminent. He’s been actively responding to posts about the divorce, particularly those insinuating that Porsha abandoned him during a difficult period.
Honestly, I’m reserving judgment because Porsha and Simon might be orchestrating a narrative. What do you think really prompted the divorce? Do you believe Simon cheated, or is Porsha leaving due to legal issues? Could they be pretending to split, with the separation merely on paper? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
