Can’t Keep It Up in Court: RHUGT: Porsha Williams v. Simon Defamation Lawsuit

Legal team, we are continuing our series on the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip ladies and also closing out our discourse on Porsha Williams, RHOA star, and her legal cases. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, we go through her divorces from both Kordell Stewart and Simon Guobadia. On the docket this week is Porsha’s defamation lawsuit that Simon filed against her, which overlaps with the divorce timeline. In July 2024, Porsha posted four slides on her Instagram stories, to her 7.7 million followers at the time, sharing information on erectile dysfunction with the hashtag #menshealthawareness only months after her and Simon filed for divorce. Even though Simon was not named in the posts, blogs took it and ran with it, as well as the public, and later that year, Simon filed a federal complaint against Porsha asserting defamation per say, infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy. We’re diving into Simon’s complaint, Porsha’s counter-arguments, and where this lawsuit currently stands.What’s on the docket?Porsha and Simon’s traditional Nigerian Edo native custom ceremonySimon’s federal defamation complaint against Porsha Simon’s detainment and deportationOur conflicting opinions on whether or not Simon had a right to file this lawsuitWhat is needed to prove defamationPorsha’s motion to dismiss, Simon’s amended complaint, and Porsha’s renewed motion to dismissTruth is an absolute defense and false statement of fact argumentsPorsha’s discovery requestsPorsha’s motion to compel discovery and Simon’s objectionsFalse light invasion of privacy claimWhat is a transactional attorneyThe Court's final order Importance of staying in your lane as a lawyerAccess additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://linktr.ee/thebravodocketThe Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.
