Porsha Williams Leaning on Cynthia Bailey for Emotional Support Amid Divorce Drama!
Cynthia Bailey has been a source of support for her fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta costar, Porsha Williams, as she navigates the complexities of her divorce from Simon Guobadia.
“I’ve been divorced twice, so I know a little bit about it,” Cynthia shared exclusively with Page Six at the Gurus Magazine launch party celebrating #30Voices30Days on Saturday. Highlighting their shared experiences, Cynthia Bailey emphasized the importance of offering positive energy and encouraging Porsha Williams to focus on self-care during this challenging time.
“We both have been married twice, and we each have a daughter,” Cynthia remarked, underscoring the common ground they share. Despite their past differences, Cynthia revealed that she and Porsha are on good terms these days, attributing their bond to their mutual affinity for love and their shared approach to relationships.
“I’m a lover of love, she’s a lover of love. She moves fast; I move fast. We just jump right in,” Cynthia explained, reflecting on their similarities in matters of the heart. While acknowledging the complexities of love and relationships, Cynthia expressed her belief in second chances, affirming that everyone deserves an opportunity to find their person.
Cynthia, who finalized her divorce from sportscaster Mike Hill in December 2022 after a lavish wedding featured on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 13, also reflected on her previous marriage to businessman Peter Thomas, which ended in 2017.
As for her own romantic prospects, Cynthia, 57, revealed that she remains open to the possibility of marriage in the future, expressing her willingness to explore new relationships.
Meanwhile, Porsha’s romantic journey has been marked by highs and lows, including her marriage to retired NFL player Kordell Stewart and her recent whirlwind romance with Simon, which ended in divorce filings earlier this year amidst a flurry of controversy.
Porsha and Simon had an internet feud and it continued to capture attention on Wednesday, May 29th, with a series of fiery messages exchanged between the former couple.
Porsha kicked off the day with a cryptic Instagram post, raising eyebrows with her message: “Happy Wednesday! If a person concealed criminal past & provided fake identification for a green card is it still a valid green card in the US?!”
Not one to stay silent, Simon fired back on his own Instagram, alluding to Porsha’s past statement about dealing with something “265 days a year,” writing, “Imma Need People Who Think There Are 265 Days In A Year Stay Out of Understanding Complex US Immigration Laws Above Your Mediocre Mind.”
The exchange came in the wake of Porsha filing for divorce from Simon after 15 months of marriage, with purported court documents suggesting allegations of deception regarding his reported criminal background and citizenship.
Simon’s social media antics extended to a pointed Rolls Royce-related comment directed at Porsha, drawing reactions not only from her but also from fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member, Kenya Moore. This online drama added another layer to Porsha’s ongoing efforts to film the reality show in the opulent residence she once shared with Simon.
In a now-deleted post, Simon congratulated Shamea Morton on her Rolls-Royce acquisition, suggesting she would be the sole cast member with the luxury vehicle in Season 16. However, Moore interjected, reminding Simon of her own Rolls-Royce ownership.
Porsha later countered with a social media post featuring snapshots of herself and Moore posing alongside their respective Rolls-Royce models, accompanied by the empowering caption, “Girls run the world! #WorldStop#TheMoment 🔥.”
Simon didn’t remain silent for long, returning to Instagram to broach the topics of debt and bad credit, sparking mixed reactions from followers. His post, featuring a pig metaphor, seemed to allude to previous comments made by Porsha about his financial and legal troubles.
Despite the challenges she’s faced, Porsha is gearing up for her return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16, reclaiming her full-time role alongside Cynthia, who assumes an official “friend of” position in the upcoming season. As production for the reality series continues, both women are poised to bring their signature flair and resilience to the screen once again.
