"Let's start with why I filed for divorce," Simon wrote, sharing a snippet of Falynn's interview with YouTuber Adam Newell. "Let's start with who she cheated with and currently pregnant for and living in a home I paid for — post divorce. ... This is how your generosity gets twisted. Let's get started there."

Simon Guobadia is a successful entrepreneur
Simon Guobadia isn't just an average Joe looking for 15 minutes of fame. In fact, he is an established entrepreneur with a net worth of over $40 million. Simon has worked in the entertainment industry, while also maintaining his own business ventures. Simon is currently the founder and CEO for SIMCOL Group, a company that "provides consistent fuel supply in the southeast at competitive, market-based prices," according to his LinkedIn profile. He is also the CEO of freight shipping company KLC Petroleum in Atlanta, Ga., as well as a business partner to Porsha William's ex-fiancé, Dennis McKinley.
Simon also has a thing for the film industry, given that he has been credited as an executive producer for a number of movies. According to his IMDb profile, the entrepreneur has producer credits in several films, including "Kill," "Son of the South," and "Jail Dogs." When Simon isn't focused on his entrepreneurial ventures, he takes pride in being a philanthropist. He supports Atlanta's faith organizations and groups that help advance Black youth, per The Atlantan.
"As a first-generation entrepreneur who has faced challenges of my own and has conquered them, it is important for me to lend my time and resources to help others see beyond the limits of their own circumstances," he told the publication. "I give back so that Black excellence will be the rule and not the exception." Although Porsha has her own cash, she surely knows how to spot a man who is loaded with more than just baggage.
