Unfortunately, Simon Guobadia’s attempt to undermine Porsha Williams’ return to Real Housewives of Atlanta seems to be working. Cameras are rolling for Season 16, but thanks to a court order from Simon, they aren’t allowed in their marital home.
It’s all a part of a legal back-and-forth, where Simon has tried to convince the courts that he doesn’t need to abide by their prenuptial agreement. Porsha hit back, trying to convince the judge that his demands were detrimental to her career. The latest court docs show that her mission isn’t going so well.
Fighting for her right to film
Radar Online got the details on the latest in this neverending mess. According to court docs, a judge ruled that the courts wouldn’t intervene in whether or not cameras could roll in the house. Instead, they have to wait until the court decides on whether or not their prenup is enforceable. Essentially, the judge knows that these two have bigger fish to fry.

“The parties raised the issue of whether the terms of the prenuptial agreement permits or prohibits filming/recording in the Marital Residence,” the court filing read.
“As this matter was not formally noticed for an evidentiary hearing on the substantive issues surrounding the parties’ prenuptial agreement, the Court reserves those issues for later determination,” it continued.
The RHOA producers won’t film in the house until a court gives the green light. So, this latest ruling means Porsha still can’t film Season 16 at her house. However, it wasn’t all bad news for Porsha. The judge did confirm that she should still have exclusive access to the house. Plus, Simon needs to give her a written heads-up before visiting.
“Neither party shall enter the other’s residence without prior written consent (text or email is sufficient). Should Husband need to retrieve additional personal belongings from the Marital Residence, Husband shall request same in writing through counsel no less than 24 hours in advance, and shall be permitted to retrieve his personal property at a time and date agreeable to the parties,” the court docs explained.
Meanwhile, Simon is still on the hook for payments towards the house. That includes the mortgage, utilities, and even landscaping costs. He’s pouring a lot of money into a house he can’t access. Preventing RHOA from filming inside of the property seems like the only thing he has control over right now.
