Porsha Williams‘ Bravo salary was revealed during a court hearing last week pertaining to her divorce from Simon Guobadia.
As Simon’s attorney shared that he began paying Porsha $30,000 per month after they began dating in spring 2021, the lawyer also stated that Porsha, 43, left her jobs with Real Housewives of Atlanta and Dish Nation around September 2021, which led to quite the reaction from fans.
“During this time, Mr. Guobadia was actually giving his girlfriend about $30,000 a month, just off the strength of being his girlfriend. And so also during that time. Mr. Guobadia took that into consideration that since she had left her employment with Dish Nation and also with the Real Housewives of Atlanta, two of her primary sources of income, that he agreed to pay his girlfriend $30,000,” the attorney explained, via a clip shared by The Gworls Are Fighting on X.
Although there was no formal agreement made between them in regard to the $30,000, the attorney noted that Simon, 61, wanted to ensure Porsha “would have some sort of financial means to take care of her day-to-day needs.”
It was also stated that Porsha’s lack of employment and the lack of her $1.6 million to $2 million salary with Bravo played a role in their prenuptial discussions.
“Around December 2021, carrying on into 2022, the parties did both hire counsel. They began negotiating. And you’ll find that during the negotiations, Mr. Guobadia relied upon the fact that Ms. Williams was no longer earning the average $1.6 million to $2 million that she was earning from The Real Housewives of Atlanta as a cast member … and she was no longer earning her money from Dish Nation,” the attorney shared.
At another moment of the hearing, via The Bravo Shade Room on Instagram, Porsha revealed she had paid Simon’s child support after he was detained by ICE.
“I paid his child support for his two sons, and I also paid maintenance for the house, so that’s outside of utilities as well,” Porsha stated. “I really got concerned being that Simon was still detained. When it comes to his child support, I’m still married to him at the end of the day, and I just really felt it was unfortunate that they weren’t getting any help.”
“The mother had reached out to my assistant [and said] that she was concerned … When I had spoke to her, she made me aware that it had not been paid and so I paid it,” she added.
Following the sharing of the news of her RHOA salary, as seen in a screenshot shared by The Bravo Shade Room on Instagram, fans expressed disappointment in Porsha.
“Porsha walked away from $1.6 – 2 mil a year for this dude??” one person asked.
“She walked away from 1.6m … Porsha don’t aggravate me,” another declared.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
