Andy Cohen really wanted a happy ending for Porsha Williams.
On the Monday, February 26, episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, the Watch What Happens Live host opened up about The Real Housewives of Atlanta star filing for divorce from Simon Guobadia on the heels of her Bravo return.
“Porsha announced last week that she is leaving Simon and I got to tell you something, I was saying to the other producers of Atlanta, when the news started breaking about Simon and some of his immigration issues, I was like, ‘This is not…’ I was so surprised,” a flabbergasted Cohen said.
“None of us knew any of this was on the horizon and this was really meant to be Porsha’s happily ever after kind of victory lap season,” the producer added. “It’s just I was so surprised and taken aback.”
The breakup came the same week the mother-of-one and NBC Universal inked a major deal for Williams to return to the franchise — but also to work on other projects across their platforms.
“Listen, we wanted Porsha on the show for Porsha. We would take Porsha married, single, picking up the pieces of her life, on high, on low,” Cohen explained. “However, she’s going to be, but we didn’t know, and this is really a big right turn from the story that I think all of us thought we would be telling, so sending love to Porsha.”
