WTH?! Porsha Williams Hints at Who's to Blame After Ex-Husband Allegedly Caught in ICE Raid
Porsha Williams' journey with ex-husband Simon Guobadia has been nothing short of a rollercoaster but things just got even crazier. Allegedly, Guobadia has been subject to President Donald Trump's crusade to mass deport undocumented immigrants.
Guobadia has reportedly been detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to TMZ. The report says he's being held at Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Ga. in ICE custody. The philanthropist is originally from Nigeria, where he and Williams had arguably thee wedding of the year back in November 2022.
However, the two divorced in 2024 after they got into a disagreement over their prenup. Williams was able to win temporary sole possession of their marital residence, according to PEOPLE. However, Guobadia fired back with a defamation suit demanding $75,000 after Williams dragged him on Instagram for alleged erectile dysfunction.
ICE detainment is only the latest L Guobadia has taken, though, it appears to be warranted considering previous his struggle to gain U.S. citizenship. The Source reports he originally overstayed his visa back in 1982. He later reentered the country on a work visa but overstayed again. Then, in 1992, the report says he was deported but came back again under an alias, finessing himself into permanent residency. The report says he applied for naturalization in 2016 but was denied given his history and continued being denied in his following requests and appeals.
His latest filing for citizenship was last month and was also denied, The Source reports. The filing appears to have triggered his detainment. If Williams thugged out three years of marriage with him, he would've been able to gain his citizenship. However, Guobadia seems to have gotten caught in President Trump's wrath on illegal immigrants as he follows through on his promise of mass deportation.
In response to the news of his detainment, Williams wrote on Instagram, 'It's disheartening to see my estranged husband make choices that have led to this outcome. At this moment my priority is moving forward with my family. 🙏🏾.'

‘60s teen heartthrob dies at 81 following Stage 4 cancer diagnosis
Bobby Sherman, a well-known singer and actor from the 1960s, has died at age 81. Brigitte Poublon, Sherman's wife, announced her husband's death in a joint Instagram post with close friend John Stamos on Tuesday, June 24. 'Bobby left this world holding my hand — just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage," Poublon wrote. 'I was his Cinderella, and he was my Prince Charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That's who Bobby was — brave, gentle, and full of light.' 'He lived with integrity, gave without hesitation, and loved with his whole heart,' she continued. 'Though our family feels his loss profoundly, we also feel the warmth of his legacy — his voice, his laughter, his music, his mission.' While no official cause of death was disclosed, Sherman was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in March. Poublon told Fox News in April that her husband was fighting kidney cancer that had 'spread everywhere,' adding he was 'terminally ill.' 'He's just sleeping more and his body's not working anymore,' Poublon told Fox News. 'Everything's shutting down.' She also told Fox News that the outpouring of love and support from Sherman's fans has 'been overwhelming.' This was something Poublon reiterated in her tribute post to Sherman. 'As he rested, I read him fan letters from all over the world — words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished. He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye. And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes,' she wrote in the Instagram post. 'Thank you to every fan who ever sang along, who ever wrote a letter, who ever sent love his way. He felt it. Rest gently, my love.' The singer and actor has also received support from several industry friends, including John Stamos who met Sherman at the Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children's Foundation a few years ago, according to Fox News. 'We've been best friends ever [since],' Poublon told the outlet. 'John's been very great about giving support the last few years too.' Born in California, Sherman became a teen idol in the 1960s and early 1970s, according to PEOPLE. He had a series of successful singles, including 'Easy Come, Easy Go,' 'Julie, Do Ya Love Me' and 'Little Woman,' which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold more than a million copies. Sherman's big break came when portrayed Jeremy Bolt, a charmer and romantic, in the western TV series, 'Here Come the Brides.' Sherman left show business in the 1970s and became a certified medical emergency technician and instructor for the Los Angeles Police Department, according to his wife. 'He was a man of service,' Poublon wrote. 'He saved lives. He showed us what real heroism looks like — quiet, selfless, and deeply human." In addition to his wife, Sherman is survived by his two sons — Tyler and Christopher — and six grandchildren.

Bride and groom reveal clever way of deciding whose last name to take — while still at the altar: ‘This is incredibly cute'
They're practicing gender quality in naming. While the bride traditionally takes the groom's last name, one creative couple has devised an egalitarian new method of deciding whose family name takes center stage — by playing rock, paper, scissors for it. In the tradition-bucking video posted to Instagram, the bride and groom were seen engaging in the 'high stakes' roshambo at the altar, with the loser of the best-in-three bout having to adopt the winner's last name. The groom, surnamed Pearce, won the first round, eliciting oohs and aahs from the crowd. However, his fiancée, surnamed the Hunter, evened the score during round two, prompting a nail-biting tie-breaker match. She then won a rock, paper, scissors rubber match, which meant that 'Hunter' would become the official family name. Their unorthodox name game split viewers on social media, with some bemoaning the fact that Pearce's likely longstanding surname was gone in a flash. 'Just like that a family surname just vanishes lmao,' lamented one critic, while another wrote, 'I'm sure his friends won't ridicule him for taking his wife's name.' However, others defended the couple's decision with one fan writing, 'Everyone going like 'omg no a lineage will end,' as if that isn't what has been happening for centuries every time a woman has to step away from her last name…' 'I say [the] cooler last name wins,' chimed in another person. 'In this case, Hunter would still win.' 'This is incredibly cute,' someone else wrote. 'Love seeing women in male-dominated fields,' quipped one wit. 'Taking the woman's last name is normal, it's 2025,' said another, decrying the tradition wife adopting the nom de groom. Interestingly, while adopting the bride's name is arguably less stigmatized than in years past, a staggering 79% of women continue to adopt their hubby's surname upon tying the knot, according to a 2023 Pew survey. Nonetheless, this isn't the first couple to concoct an unorthodox method of deciding whose surname goes on the holiday cards. This past fall, a woman and her fiancé went viral after allowing their wedding guests to pick their married last name — and strangers online loved it so much they wrote songs about it.

‘Who are these people?' L.A. leaders concerned over masked federal agents
Some state, county and local leaders are calling for a statewide ban on masked law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, amid ongoing enforcement operations across Los Angeles County and the region. Since early June when some 4,000 members of the California National Guard, 700 active-duty U.S. Marines and an unknown number of federal officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection descended on Los Angeles, many have pointed out how the latter two agencies typically wear masks during enforcement raids. Numerous videos have surfaced of individuals claiming to be ICE agents exiting unmarked vehicles, wearing plain clothes, and sometimes failing to immediately identify themselves. This has prompted growing public concern over reports of people impersonating ICE officers for criminal purposes, including kidnappings. At a Friday night briefing, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, according to The Times, shared her concern about immigration enforcement operations in the city done by masked individuals. 'We're not sure who these armed men are. They show up without uniforms. They show up completely masked. They refuse to give ID. They're driving regular cars with tinted windows and in some cases out-of-state license plates. Who are these people?' During a tense meeting last week of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors, the issue of masked men, who may or may not be federal agents, detaining residents was addressed, the Los Angeles Times reported. Supervisor Kathryn Barger, the sole Republican on the board, said that a staff member's godson was pulled over by two men in an unmarked car complete with flashing lights and told he had a 'nice truck for someone with his surname.' 'I tell you this story because we don't know if they were ICE agents or not,' she said. 'I do believe there may be people out there impersonating ICE, taking advantage of this population.' Supervisor Holly Mitchell said it was unclear to her why federal agents have repeatedly been seen wearing 'half-face, ski-type masks in L.A. in the summer' and suggested the board support a bill proposed by state lawmakers that would ban members of law enforcement, including federal agents, from wearing masks. On Saturday, as many as seven masked agents were seen in a violent arrest of a Santa Ana man, whose three sons all serve in the U.S. Military. Last week, a 20-year-old U.S. citizen was seen in a violent struggle with a half-dozen masked federal agents in Pico Rivera after he reportedly punched one of them in the face during an enforcement operation. The young Walmart employee was released about three days later and has yet to be charged with assault, according to his lawyers. Dozens of heavily armed ICE agents swarm popular L.A. County swap meet In Huntington Park, where a pregnant mother of four, also a U.S. citizen, and her children were forced onto their driveway as masked federal agents unsuccessfully searched the house for her husband while DHS Sec. Kristi Noem watched from the street, the mayor has condemned what he referred to as 'masked abductions.' 'These are not lawful arrests. These are abductions,' Mayor Arturo Flores said. 'For more than a week, we have witnessed families being torn apart, children left without parents, and residents vanishing without explanation. Men dressed in tactical gear, operating unmarked vehicles without displaying credentials or agency affiliation, have infiltrated our neighborhoods in direct violation of our community's values, civil rights, and the basic principles of due process.' L.A. County lawyers told the board of supervisors that federal agents are required to identify themselves during an enforcement operation and, according to The Times, added that there's 'some room' for when that must happen. As for the state bill proposing a ban on masked law enforcement, an attempt to put restrictions on what federal agents can and can't do in California would most likely face an immediate challenge in court.
