Simon Guobadia is making it clear that he has no intention of following a court order to pay the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Porsha Williams, $40,000 a month in spousal support.
In a candid discussion with Tasha K, Simon dismissed the judgment entirely. “I might be a lot of things, I’m not stupid. No, she can have that judgment. It means absolutely nothing to me. I have not paid anything. I have no desire to pay anything. She’s the one paying everything. And, you know, she’s stuck between a rock and a hard place”.
The conflict extends to their $12 million mansion, which Simon notes is premarital property with the deed in his name. He explained that while Porsha is trying to secure rights to the home through the legal system, she is currently the one covering the financial burden of living there. “The one thing that’s not gonna change, at least for now, is that the deed is solely in my name. That’s a premarital property. What she’s trying to do is she’s trying to get the courts to give her rights to the house, which the court can try. But ultimately, I’m responsible for the mortgage. And so if the mortgage is not paid, the mortgage company can give two fucks, you know, about a court judgment. All they’re gonna be looking for money is from me. And she’s been paying the mortgage since going on one year now”.
Because the home remains in Simon’s name, he maintains that Porsha is restricted from selling the property or tapping into its equity. “She cannot put the home on the market. Now think about this. It’s just like your own home. There’s no difference, okay? The home is in Simon Guobadia’s name, I’m on the deed. So any action, whether it’s listing the house, you know, for sale or taking any home equity, a line of whatever credit whatever out of it, it can only be done by me”.
Currently, Porsha has a 36-month window to live in the house and figure out an exit strategy. “So as long as she does not have that, the only thing she can do is rely on the 36 months that she was given to live in that house. And within that 36 months, figure out what her exit strategy is gonna be, which is basically to sell the house and split the equity”.
However, Simon is actively fighting these arrangements through the legal system and is prepared to take the fight as far as possible. “Now, what she’s dealing with now is the fact that I’ve appealed this matter all the way up to the Georgia Supreme Court, and we have about, it might take another four to six months for the Georgia Supreme Court to come back one way or the other. Now, if she’s unlucky, she loses and the Georgia Supreme Court throws it out or enforces a portion of it. She’s up shits creek because she’s paid 12 months of mortgage that I’m not obligated in any way to reimburse her for. That’s not covered anywhere in a prenup. So, worst case scenario in this whole matter is that eventually a court is able to force a sale. Maybe the Georgia Supreme Court denies my request, and I choose to leave it alone, or I choose to take it up with the US Supreme Court, you know, and I can look to my attorneys and say, ‘Hey, what are the other things that we can raise? You know, what are the other legal challenges we can raise that the US Supreme Court will take a look at it, should the Georgia Supreme Court decide not to take it up.’ That’s where we are”.
