Porsha Williams’ Husband Simon Guobadia Sued For SCAMMING Private Jet Company!
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams finds herself in the spotlight as her estranged husband, Simon Guobadia, faces a hefty lawsuit. His company is under scrutiny for an allegedly unsettled bill with a private jet service.
Court documents reveal that NetJets Aviation, Inc. initiated legal action against Simon Guobadia’s business, Simcol Petroleum Limited Company.
The lawsuit, initially brought to light by YouTuber Tisa Tells, details that NetJets operates a “fractional aircraft program.” This program involves NetJets in the business of selling and leasing fractional interests in private jets as part of the NetJets Fractional Program. Through a fractional aircraft program, multiple owners can share both the usage and the costs associated with an aircraft.
NetJets has claimed that Simcol Petroleum Limited Company entered into an agreement in August 2020, according to the lawsuit. Under this agreement, Simcol committed to leasing a 12.5% interest in a Cessna Citation aircraft. Furthermore, NetJets states that Simcol agreed to elevate its lease to a 15.62% interest on July 3, 2021.
NetJets has alleged that the defendants violated the terms of the Program Agreement by not paying the due amounts in a timely manner, leading to the termination of the agreement on or around February 28, 2023. According to the lawsuit, at the time the Program Agreement was terminated, the defendant owed NetJets a total of $974,213.11 under the agreement’s terms.
In the lawsuit, NetJets disclosed that they had reached a confidential agreement with Simcol in August 2023. Under this agreement, Guobadia’s company purportedly agreed to pay NetJets $839,000 in monthly installments, including interest. NetJets acknowledged receiving the first installment payment of $25,000 from Simcol. However, Simcol then allegedly failed to make the second installment payment, which was due on October 2, 2023.
The lawsuit asserts that Simcol has not made any further payments beyond the initial installment. Consequently, the legal action is seeking a court order for Simcol to pay the remaining $814,000 owed on the agreement, in addition to interest.
Moreover, NetJets has requested that the court mandate Simon to cover the legal expenses NetJets has incurred in relation to the case. As of now, Simon has not provided a response to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit against Simon was officially filed on January 26, 2024.
In developments concerning Simon’s personal life, as reported that Porsha Williams filed for divorce from Simon on February 22. According to a source who spoke to People, the decision to part ways was described as an “ongoing matter” and reportedly had no connection to the recent speculations surrounding Simon’s citizenship status.
The couple had tied the knot in November 2022, following their engagement announcement in May 2021. They do not have any children together.
This legal and personal turmoil unfolds as Porsha has recently made public her decision to return to ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ for the upcoming season, adding another layer of public interest to their situation.
In addition to this latest legal battles, Simon is also grappling with obstacles in solidifying his U.S. citizenship, following the rejection of his application. The denial is attributed to his extensive criminal record and fraudulent immigration status. Detailed federal court documents, as reported by All About The Tea, shed light on Simon’s checkered past, documenting a series of criminal activities. These include multiple felony charges, credit card fraud, bank fraud, identity theft, and engaging in a fictitious marriage solely to secure a green card.
Additionally, it has come to light that Simon is presently residing in the United States with a green card acquired under a false identity, further complicating his legal and immigration issues.
