According to court documents obtained by @usweekly July 17. 2025
Simon Guobadia told the court he will be seeking $500,000 over Porsha Williams Social media ED post.
Porsha lawyer argued, “These posts simply provide information regarding a common condition, and Defendant even uses the hashtag ‘Mens Health Awareness’ to draw awareness to the information that may help some of Defendant’s social media followers.”
In response, Williams demanded the suit be thrown out of court. Her lawyer wrote, “None of Williams’ posts refer to any particular individual, let alone Guobadia specifically.
Guobadia said he believes he is also entitled to punitive damages for Williams’ alleged “malicious conduct.”
Guobadia sued Williams, 44, for defamation in November 2024 over a series of Instagram posts she made.
Guobadia, who split from Williams in 2024, claimed their relationship became “contentious” when she started “making negative, false and misleading statements about him on social media, using her outsized platform to negatively influence public perception of him.” In his suit, he said Williams made statements regarding erectile dysfunction.
Guobadia argued that Williams’ posts were “presented in a factual manner” that implied he had ED and were “clearly intended to cast” him in a “negative and humiliating light.”
The businessman, who was recently deported, claimed he had suffered emotional distress and personal anguish due to the Instagram posts made by his ex-wife.
Williams’ statements were false; Guobadia does not have ED and has never suffered from or been diagnosed with this condition,” his lawyer wrote.
“By making these claims in a public forum, Williams ensured their immediate and widespread dissemination, amplifying the harm to Guobadia’s credibility and social esteem.”
Williams cannot and should not be held liable for sharing information regarding a common condition that likely plagues many of Williams’ social media followers. For this reason, and the reasons detailed herein, this Court should dismiss Guobadia’s Complaint in its entirety.”
