Simon Guobadia Breaks Silence After ICE Detention and Deportation
*Simon Guobadia, the ex-husband of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams, has finally spoken out after being deported. The businessman spent four months in an ICE detention facility before being sent back to Nigeria.

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Guobadia compared himself to Trump, saying they are both misunderstood. “Donny, like I refer to him, we are very similar. We’re both Geminis, and some of his antics – I certainly can understand it. Sometimes [I would] say that we are misunderstood.”
Guobadia also said he feels no anger toward Trump’s immigration policies. “I don’t have any problems with Donald Trump like any other CEO or chief executive, who I am.” He even expressed hope to speak with the former president one day.
Detention Conditions Were Harsh, Says Simon Guobadia
Guobadia was taken into custody in February after arriving in the U.S. He spent time isolated and described the facility as overcrowded and poorly staffed. “I understood why people would kill themselves, but I’m too strong to do that,” he shared. He called the food “terrible” and said detainees were left in limbo, with no updates on their cases. He found out about his release only two weeks before being deported.
