RHOA’s Porsha Williams Is Cleared by FBI for Airplane Incident, Lawyer Says

UPDATE — 11/12/25, 7:12 p.m. ET: Porsha Williams’ attorney says she has been cleared by the FBI following an incident with another passenger on a flight home from BravoCon2025.

“We just received word from the United States Attorney’s Office that they have determined that ‘no crime has been committed,’ and that the FBI ‘will not pursue any further investigative actions regarding this matter,’” Williams’ lawyer Joe Habachy said in a statement to Us Weekly on Friday, November 21. “While Ms Williams is certainly pleased to have received this news today, we cannot say that we are surprised given that there was never a physical encounter and given that the allegations made against Ms. Williams by this unhinged passenger were blatantly false from the beginning.”

Habachy added that despite Williams being cleared by the FBI “nothing can undo” the damage caused by the “false allegations” and the Real Housewives of Atlanta star is “owed apologies.”

“Ms. Williams offers her sincere thanks to the many witnesses who took time from their schedules to come forward and provide statements to law enforcement and to the Agents who worked so hard to uncover the truth,” the statement concluded.

Us has reached out to the FBI for comment.

Original story:

Porsha Williams‘ post-BravoCon 2025 flight back to Atlanta was anything but normal — and may have landed her in hot water with the FBI.

“FBI Atlanta is aware of the incident on the flight,” a spokesperson for FBI Atlanta told Us Weekly in a statement on Monday, November 17. “It is unknown at this time if federal charges will apply. That is all we have at the moment.”

Williams, 44, was reportedly involved in an altercation while on board her Delta Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Atlanta on Sunday, November 16, after attending the three-day Bravo event, according to TMZ.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star was one of two passengers on the flight that Delta crew spoke with as a result of the alleged incident, TMZ reported. Us confirmed that the flight landed without incident, but was met by law enforcement.

The Bravo star was featured during the Saturday, November 15, “Getting Lucky at the Love Hotel” panel alongside The Real Housewives of New York City alum Sonja Morgan and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Heather Gay, who all teased they would consider starring on the spinoff if it’s greenlit for a second season.

“People know I’m a lover girl, like, I’m a hopeless romantic,” Williams said as to why she is interested in starring on the show. “I think everybody in the world knows I just got divorced [from Simon Guobadia]. Amen to that, so I think that’s why [I was a favorite].”

Season 1 of Love Hotel premiered in March, following single Housewives Shannon Beador, Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby and Luann de Lesseps’ as they tried their hand at dating at a luxurious Mexican resort.

Williams’ love life has been making headlines since February 2024 when she filed for divorce from Guobadia, 61, after 15 months of marriage.

One year later, Us confirmed that Guobadia was detained by ICE at the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia. According to U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s records, the Nigeria native was being held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement due to overstaying his visa.

Guobadia was declared deportable in 1985 after coming to the United States in 1982. After a brief return to Nigeria, he came back to America in 1986 and once again overstayed his work visa.

Guobadia was arrested in 1987 and pleaded guilty to bank and credit card fraud before being deported back to Nigeria in 1992 following two subsequent arrests. He applied for naturalization in 2016 after reentering the U.S. in 1992, but was denied. He was deported in June but his and Williams’ divorce battle has continued in the U.S.

Following their split, a judge ruled to uphold Williams’ prenuptial agreement with Guobadia, allowing her to live and film RHOA in their $7 million mansion.

Guobadia was also ordered to pay Williams $40,000 per month in spousal support for 14 months. Additionally, Williams was awarded 50 percent of the equity in the property, a 2021 Rolls Royce and various other cars.

Guobadia tried to get the judge to overturn the judgement, but Us confirmed in September that he was unsuccessful.

Williams has since begun dating again, revealing during an October appearance at New York City’s CultureCon, “The people who I’m talking to now … it’s just two, I narrowed it down to two, and he is nice and she is nice.”
