  • Porsha Williams Seeks Contempt Against Ex-Husband

    It seems the legal drama between Porsha Williams and her ex-husband, Simon Guobadia, is far from over. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star is back in court, this time requesting that Simon be held in contempt for allegedly failing to meet significant financial obligations stemming from their divorce.

    Allegations of Non-Payment

    According to a petition filed this week, Porsha claims Simon has ignored crucial terms outlined in their June final divorce judgment. These alleged failures include payments for alimony, attorney’s fees, home expenses, and property taxes, totaling over $667,000.

    Porsha’s legal team argues that this non-payment demonstrates a “knowing, intentional, and ongoing disregard for this Court’s authority and the Final Judgment it issued.” They are also seeking for him to forfeit his equity stake in their former marital home.

    Simon Guobadia’s Response

    However, Simon Guobadia insists that Porsha’s filing is premature. In a statement, he expressed surprise at the new filings, noting that the divorce action has been closed and the matter is currently before the Georgia Court of Appeals.

    He stated, “We filed a timely appeal (30 days) of the judge’s decision, and I’m sure opposing counsel is aware that a higher court has to rule on the merits of the appeal before a lower court would entertain any ‘new’ court filings.” Simon dismissed the filings as mere “toilet tissue for the public’s consumption.”

    Background of the Divorce

    Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia tied the knot in 2022. Their marriage lasted 15 months before they filed for divorce in early 2024, with the split being finalized in June 2025. Earlier this year, Simon was also detained by ICE and subsequently deported to Nigeria.

    As of now, a judge has yet to rule on Porsha’s contempt petition. The legal battle continues to unfold.

  • Teyana Taylor Ordered to Pay $70K in Divorce Contempt Ruling

    The ongoing divorce proceedings between singer Teyana Taylor and former NBA player Iman Shumpert have taken a new turn. Taylor has reportedly been found in contempt of court, leading to a significant financial order.

    Contempt of Court Ruling

    According to recent reports, a judge has ordered the 34-year-old entertainer to pay $70,000 to her 35-year-old ex-husband. This ruling comes after Taylor was found in contempt of court concerning issues related to their divorce judgment.

    In addition to the payment, the judge denied Taylor’s request for Shumpert to cover her legal fees. Furthermore, her attempt to have Shumpert found in contempt of court was also rejected, as she reportedly failed to provide sufficient evidence that he had leaked details of their divorce judgment to the media.

    Navigating a Public Split

    Taylor and Shumpert, who share two daughters, have been going through a highly publicized split since Taylor filed for divorce last year, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple’s separation has been a subject of public interest and speculation.

    While Taylor has not yet released a public statement regarding the contempt ruling, her history of candidness suggests that fans might hear from her soon. The situation highlights the complexities and emotional toll of high-profile divorces.
