Porsha Williams’ estranged husband, Simon Guobadia, is facing a fresh lawsuit alleging his company's failure to fulfill payment obligations for the use of a private jet.


Following Porsha's sudden divorce filing after just 15 months of marriage, and amidst reports detailing Simon’s past fraud charges and citizenship status denial, it's now asserted that Simon’s company, Simcol Petroleum Limited Company, has an outstanding balance of $814,000 owed to NetJets Aviation, Inc.


As per court documents revealed on February 26, the lawsuit, initially brought to light by YouTube’s Tisa Tells, outlines that NetJets Aviation Inc. operates a "fractional aircraft program," facilitating the sale and lease of fractional interests in private jets. This program enables multiple owners to share costs for jet usage.


In August 2020, Simon's company entered into an agreement to lease a Cessna Citation with a 12.5% interest. By July 2021, this percentage had increased to 15.62%. However, NetJets Aviation Inc. claimed in its January 26 filing that the defendants breached the terms of the Program Agreement by failing to fulfill payment obligations, leading to the termination of the agreement around February 28, 2023.


At the time of termination, the lawsuit states that Simon's company owed $974,213.11 to NetJets Aviation Inc. In August 2023, both parties reached an agreement wherein Simon’s business committed to monthly payments until settling the past-due balance of $839,000. However, after making an initial payment of $25,000, the company ceased further payments.


NetJets Aviation Inc. is now seeking payment of the outstanding $814,000 balance, alongside accrued interest, and requests Simon to bear the legal expenses incurred during the case.

Simon has yet to issue a response.


Meanwhile, on his SiriusXM radio show, Andy Cohen, aged 55, reacted to Porsha and Simon's split.

"Porsha announced last week that she is parting ways with Simon, and I must say, I was taken aback. When news of Simon’s immigration issues began surfacing, I was genuinely surprised. None of us had any inkling that this was looming," Andy confessed.


According to Andy, the upcoming season 16 of RHOA was anticipated to be a celebratory season for Porsha, portraying a "happily ever after" narrative.


"I was truly caught off guard. We were eager to have Porsha on the show, regardless of her marital status, to depict her journey authentically. Whether she was married, single, or navigating life's ups and downs, we were ready to support her. But this recent development is a significant deviation from what we had envisioned, so we're sending love to Porsha," he expressed.
