off the screen, Carlos and I will bring you the
tea surrounding hot topic crime stories involving all of your
favorite reality TV personalities.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
And if today's story taught us anything, child is that
in this world the tea is never just hot, it's criminal. Hey,
rain Jobs another episode of Reality Crime Stories with Courtney Parker.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We are diving into.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
The ongoing saga that is Portia Williams and her ex
husband Signi Well Badia. So Courtney Parker, are you ready
for what is this? Courtney Like park eighteen fo Okay,
yeah too?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
The divorce story that just keeps on giving Like this
is a reality show in and of itself, and I
actually love it. This time, however, Carlos, I have taken
a turn for what the rain drops will say the better,
because as this thing continues to drag out, I become of.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Less empathetic towards Simon and more.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Teen Porsche, more and more Team Porsche, because I can
only imagine how she must be feeling just everything regarding
this never ending saga that is her life and her divorce.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah no, listen, that's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So we have our resident ex spur Steve joining us
in a bit. But let me update the rain drops
coordinate on exactly what we're talking about today. The title
of this episode is locked out and leans in you
knowsessment titles, So to catch you all up, rain Drop
(03:20):
Porsche Williams ex husband Simon Gobadia. As you know, they
finalize their divorce. Okay, he purchased a seven point three
million dollar mansion that has been under more legal paperwork,
then throw pillows, Hey Pampa by Porsche. But the finalization
(03:42):
of Portion and Simon's very contentious divorce, Simon was ordered
to cover the mortgage and household bills for three full
years to the tune of forty thousand dollars a month,
then spousal support for like I said, three years. However,
Simon is allegedly cutting corners by leaving mortgage payments unpaid,
(04:07):
lean's piling up, and Portie inevitably the one holding the bag.
So must show that his own lawyer filed a lead
against the house for over two hundred thousand dollars in
unpaid fees. So now the very home that was supposed
to symbolize Mada Bliss has become a court house hostage.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So, Courtney, what is going on in this? So I
didn't know this?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
So it's actually Simon's lawyer, Yeah, that filed the lean
against the house.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Listen, We're gonna have Steve talk about it from the
legal perspective. But again, we kind of call this when
when Simon got kicked out of the country when he
was deported. Everything that came against him in the United
(05:07):
States he could run for from he doesn't. He's not
obligated to do uphold anything within the United States.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
What are they going to do.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
He's no longer a citizen, he's no longer a resident,
He's no longer obligated to do anything. And this just
goes to show that this isn't just about mispayments here.
This is about the optics. Court documents show late notices,
they show unpaid balances, lean stacking up faster than housewife
(05:43):
shades on a reunion. But for someone who flaunted private
jets and designer suits, this feels a lot like malicious intent.
Remember when the world, including myself, was feeling like Portia's
team tipped off Vice to get him deported. Simon is
(06:05):
now taking the position of no accountability or obligation to
the American court system or their divorce.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
So let's bring in Courtney, our resident attorney, Steve Suzoo,
our legal expert, so that we are able to really
decipher exactly what's going on.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Happy to be back.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
We are so happy to have you back. So let's
just get right into it.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Okay, So did I say, we predicted all of this
month or so ago. I'm sorry to me, said.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well, you know, listen, don't be sorry. We it's the
reason why I'm going to expert and courty. I are
the nosy journalist. Hey, Poorsche, So talk to us about
the latest and greatest. So, Cordy and I have just
discovered that Simon's lawyer is the one who filed the
two hundred thousand dollars lean against the Hull.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Talk to us about that. How did that happen? But
most importantly, why is that happening?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Well? And so, a lot of states allow these kind
of let's call it a mechanical lean, if you will,
where a lawyer can file against somebody's property. New York
does not. Some states allow it, and it's you write
it into the retainer agreement. Where you're where you're where
you're committed to legal fees based on your assets, and
(07:31):
a lawyer can file a lee. It's fairly common in
a lot of states, not New York. New York doesn't
doesn't allow lawyers to do that.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Right, let me ask a question, if I might, Carlos,
So you kind of predicted this? You absolutely not? Kind
of you predicted this when we were running with the
notion of did porsious team call Ice tip Ice off
to have him deported? And you over emphasize and stressed
(08:03):
the fact that it would not be in their best
interest even though it was considered a legal strategy, it
would it would be a strategy that backfired. Does de
portion excuse Simon from pain.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Well, it doesn't. It doesn't excuse him. But you know,
an unenforceable order is is worthless. I mean, it has
no it has no meaning. Look, there's a couple of agreements.
There's a treaty out there, the Hague Treaty if your
if your country is a signatory, and that that they
they will allow the signature countries to enforce support orders
(08:44):
from the United States or to the United States. But
for several reasons, it doesn't help Poorsha here. One is
Nigeria is not a signatory to the Hague Treaty. And two,
the United States is only a signatory and so far
as child support obligations are concerned, and we know there
are no children here, so that that that really doesn't help. Really,
(09:06):
the only method by which he can enforces his assets
here in the United States that's the home, of course,
and hopefully it has for her sake, it has substantial
equity in it. We don't know that though. We're assuming
the mortgage, which is rarely public, is in the fifty
percent range. That would still leave about three million dollars
or so in equity. So that's not nothing. Frankly, the
(09:29):
money is about in fact, Yeah, is Simon.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Doing this in your opinion because he wants to either
make matters worse for Portia, you know, and then Leana
gets the home that he owns, or is he doing
this as a financial legal strategy because and if it listen,
it could be both.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And if it's both, Okay, you asked the My second
question first is.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What does I'm to get out of having this lean
on the home net ports of a thigh thin?
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Yeah, well, I mean it's it's called it's called leverage, right.
I mean, if he starts to pay the monthly expenses,
you know that that's coming out of his pocket. On
the other hand, if the house is closer to forfeiture
or or or it is closer for the bank taking
it back, then you know he gained some leverage. He's
(10:26):
going to have more of an incentive to resolve this
in a way that is acceptable. She can always say, hey, look, Simon,
let's agree on ex will cell house. Now I get
two thirds, you get one third. But he has no
incentive until that happens. Let it go. Why should he care?
And again, we're assuming that the mortgage is around fifty percent.
(10:48):
It could be I don't know, twenty percent, could be
eighty percent. We just don't know. My guess is that
the down payment is a lot smaller than fifty percent,
which means paying a lot of equity there. What does
he care anyway? It's not going to be anything left
at the end of it anyway. So it's a great
it's a great legal strategy. That is what I would
(11:08):
advise him to do if he was in Nigeria.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I feel so sorry.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Again, we've watched all of this play out, We've watched
the kind of volley from both positions. But today, after
reading this and doing our research for this episode, I
really feel sorry for Porsche. She gets the divorce, she
finally gets the divorce that she wants, and this marriage
(11:38):
has this marriage and divorce has quickly become an absolute
nightmare for her. Instead of peace, She's tied up in
you know, more legal disaster and financial debt as a
as a result of this ongoing thing with with Simon.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
What could she do?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
What can she do besides just sell the house because
it's she's still living in the marital home.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Correct, Yeah, well they're really Look I wish there was
a great strategy, but as we discussed on previous shows,
it's the assets here in the United States that give
her some leverage. And all we know is Simon has
a has an interest in that house. That's all we know.
(12:32):
Are there other assets here that are attachable? That's what
she should be going after. She should probably have an
investigator looking to see if she can track any interesting
assets that he has. But if the answer to that
is no, that house is it is okay.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
So Simon, by the port of law, was told that
he must pay the mortgage for this house.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, I'm big in Nigeria.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And by this lean happening, does this prevent him from
paying the monthly mortgage payments?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
No? No, absolutely, Look the lean that his attorney just
put on, it is just something that secures the attorney's interest.
Right if if if somebody were the want to buy
the house in foreclosure, and that Lian was still outstanding,
the purchaser would have to satisfy that that two hundred
(13:29):
thousand dollars. But right now it's just it's a placeholder
protecting that lawyer's interest. And by the way, interest in
terms of dollars, accrues until the debt is paid.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
So is it is it safe to say that not
only did he is he abandoning his responsibilities to their
multimillion dollar mansion, essentially obligating her to keep up the
mortgage on her own, but he's also tacking on his
(14:07):
attorney fees to the.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
House and hers for nothing. Why then he's supposed to
pay her attorney's fees too. That's another two fifty or so.
So we're talking about half a million dollars that that
is going to come out of the house and not
go into either one of them. Well, indirectly, it goes
to Simon because it's not out of his pocket, right,
(14:30):
so he either bays the half a million himself or
he doesn't pay the half a million. It comes out
of his portion of the equity. If there's enough to
cover it, and I suspect there isn't. Let's just put
it this suppose there was one hundred million dollars, one
hundred million dollar house, we're talking about three or four
(14:50):
million dollars. Is what is what she's entitled to in
terms of you know, the divorced settlement, right, you know
mortgage is paying two or three million dollars? Is what
what her get out of the divorce decree? Well, if
the house is worth one hundred million dollars, it's an
asset you want to preserve, right, you want to pay
it down. You don't want the bank to get it
is they sell it at auction penny's on a dollar.
(15:12):
They don't want to do that. But there isn't enough
left for that to be the motivating factor for Simon.
There isn't enough money in the house left for it
to affect Simon. But to go back to your first
part of your question, one, isn't vindictive? Yeah, there's always
in matrimony. Again, we talked about this several shows. There's
always a vindictive aspect to matrimonial actions. Somebody wants the
(15:37):
other party to pay, to suffer, to look bad. That's
just the way it is. He being vindictive, You bet,
he's being vindictive, As you said, Carlos it's both. The
answer is both. He's doing it for two reasons, both
of them, as you mentioned, addictiveness, and it's a smart
legal strategy, is it right, Courtney? No, it is he
(15:58):
a deadbeat? Yeah'd be. We're taking care of his responsibility. Yeah,
he should be. But we don't live in a perfect world.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
So I have a question.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I'm just going to throw out there and wait for
all the comments to come rolling in.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Do we think.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
That Simon is a mastermind with this play or rain drops?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
If I can call your rain drops rain drops, Carly.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
This is it serves Porsche right for thinking she was
the exception to the rule.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Well, I mean legally with you know, lawyers, you're not
supposed to have heart or emotion when it comes to
the other party. As far as if you are Simon's lawyer,
she could. She could be living on the street for
all you care. We don't. We're not. Our interest is
in our client. The client comes first, not the client
(17:00):
sex wife. And so no, I don't. I don't think
there's any interest whatsoever do it. Do I feel bad
for her on some level? Yeah? Absolutely. Anybody who gets
who gets treated in this way, you know, there's it's
a reason to feel our sympathy. But if I were
Simon's Laura, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy
for her whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Let's flip it.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
If you were Porsche's lawyer, how what and how would
you be advising her right now?
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Well, if I was the lawyer who suggested dropping the
immigration time on him, I would be hiding out someplace, living,
presumably in the witness security program because whoever advised that, forever,
whoever dropped that that idea is it really should be?
I mean, actually shout so you know, But you have
(17:50):
to be telling her I think you do just as
I'm telling you, if you're honest and look, I have
no interest in the outcome, right I have. I can
be completely objective about this. The answer to your client
who says, what am I going to do about it?
Is you better hold onto that house and sell it
as quickly as you can because you don't have any
other leverage. Right, And she's going to say I'm not
(18:11):
doing that. I'm you know, she's going to be vindictive too, right,
That's what happens in the matrimonial action.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
And that's gonna be my thing for me because I'm
not gonna go off court. I'm sorry, but for me,
the million dollar question, or in this case, it's seven.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Point three million dollar question, since that's how must the
house costs.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
A lot of people are questioning why keep this house?
Why supports chemic a house that has massive mid rooms,
massive land, and she's a single woman, she has one child.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yes, you may have a big family, but for all.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
The purposes, this house is a reminder of your past
that you should want to be able to like step
away from Courtney asked a good question about you know, legally,
would you advise her to sell the house?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
You're pretty much saying you would.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
On the other side, let's let's say that Steve, you know,
legally Porsche doesn't want to sell the house. As her attorney,
what legal sort of leverage does she have to stand
on by keeping the house? If there is any or
(19:36):
or or or is this a situation where a client
is more concerned about the vanity of a man time
min dollar house versus the smart strategy of letting this
go move on with your life.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So this guy doesn't have something like this to do
to you.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Again, well, look, if it depends on the client's pack
sual position. If she needs money and she can't afford
to wait and hold on to that judgment and watch
it accumulate for the day when he either leads Nigeria
or you find an asset, well, then she could wait
(20:16):
because it technically worth millions of dollars the longer he
doesn't pay it. On the other hand, you know, if
she's struggling to make ends meet, well, you know she's
going to have to be do the practical thing, and
that's dumped that house again, assuming there's a reasonable amount
of equity in it, and assuming he's willing to, you know,
negotiate with her right now. He has no interest in
(20:37):
doing so. But yeah, it depends on what the client,
what the client's position.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Is, and we don't know that several people have implied
or alleged that this is too extensive of a property
for her to maintain, even on her Bravo Countless Ventures
branding deals. If she decides that, hey, he's not fulfilling
(21:08):
his obligations, I'm going to take over the mortgage payment.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I'll settle it.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Can she force or buy his question from him all
the debt that he's accumulated.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Sure, In other words, you know that just as he
has an incentive not to pay this, uh, her paying
that monthly mortgage and monthly expenses really ends up in
his pocket because it's contributing to the to the equity, right,
and who knows how that's going to play out. So
you know, look, you know, should she do that? No,
(21:46):
she's got to dump this place. That's the reality. I mean,
it's there's no, that's the asset. We keep going back to,
how do you enforce the matrimonial decree? It's in effect
the judgment call it agree, but it's a judgment, right
enforce it. He can only enforce it rationally on assets
that he has an interest in here in the United States.
(22:07):
That's the way to do this. That That really is
her only alternative. I wish there were others, but that's
really it.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Yeah, because he can skip town, but he can't skip his.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Accountability absolutely eventually.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Right, she's living the harsh reality of his obligations now
are in theory. But her obligations to the property, because
her name is on it, her credit can be affected
by the lane's lack of payment.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
We don't know for sure that, but can it that's
a good question. Can it becomes the house of done
her name.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Yeah, sure, but look it's it can because she has
an interest in the property, and when that property is foreclosed,
she's the one who's going to be in it, right,
She's the one who's going to get kicked out. She's
the one they're going to drag out while the marshalls
go in and the sheriff goes in and takes over
the property and they take all the contents and all
(23:08):
the belongings and so on and so forth. So I
don't know if her name is actually on the d
but still she's going to go down as the wife
of the guy who's you know whatever, seven million dollar
mansion was seized, and it's not a good position to
be in.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I do believe her house is on.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
The d Like, if her name is on the deed,
then she's she's responsible. It's the mortgage on her, correct,
She's one. I mean, for the most part, you're your
tenants by the entirety. If you're married, you know, you
get automatic rights to each other's if you somebody else
house dies or something. But yeah, she's gonna she's gonna
(23:49):
be a responsible she's gotta she's gotta dump the place again,
unless there are some secret assets there. She's got a
private investigator who's tracking down Simon's asset as we speak.
But again, I mean, but that's what I would advise
the client to do. But that quests money. Now, finding
a financial investigator to track down assets is a really
(24:10):
expensive proposition.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
And it's not like Simon is hiding. If he's hiding,
he's hiding in plain sight. He's in Dubai with his youngest.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Daughter right now.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
He's all over social media, so he's actively letting you
know what he's doing. And it's very clear from these
lians what he's not doing.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
It's one way to put it. That's right. He's not
saying he's not saying his death absolutely a deadbeat. I mean,
let's face it, he's walking away from the woman he
married and the woman he promised the life too and
promised a and he's just simply walking away from it
because he doesn't like the result of the judgment. That's
not how things work. He doesn't like the fact that
he had a prenuptial that was enforced, doesn't like the
(24:58):
fact that the court order. You know, that's it's not right.
But he's showing the world. Hey, I don't care, come
get me. You know where I asked a known scammer.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I hate to say this now, but no, it's like
everything that he read we read about him, from the
very first episode of Reality Crime Stories, the deportation fiasco,
the fraud to get back into the US, to the
(25:32):
scam allegations.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
To the just all of it.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It's well, that's the joy of it, right.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
The joy of is he he get all this sympathy
because he was held in detention for several months and
now all of a sudden, folks that don't realize, wait
a minute, he was able as a result of that,
he was able to get out from under a seven
million dollar a judgment against them. Not that, Carl, that's
a thing.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah. How do you.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Feel about how Porstia's publicly handling this?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Well, look, I think the fact that she has allowed
the chatter to.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Be the bloggers and not necessarily her.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
They are filming the new season of Atlanta Housewives that's
been widely reported, so possibly we get to hear about
this on the upcoming season. But I think in terms
of her silence, I think that's and I'm sure any
lawyer would say it's best to not say anything to
something at all. So, unlike Simon, who is doing interviews,
(26:38):
Portia hasn't said much about the latest discovery. And look,
it is one of those things where I do want
to ask you this, Steve. If Simon fails to pay
any of the mortgage in this home, although it was
granted by the judge, he should, what happens to him.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I don't want to pay any mortgage fees. I don't
feel like doing that.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Probably nothing, because if there's enough equity in the house. Uh,
then the bank is just going to foreclose sell the property.
And the difference between what they get for the house
and what is oh, they'll just simply write off is
a bad debt and you take a tax deduction on that,
and most banks are very happy about it. And once
(27:25):
you write it off, that's it. It's no longer enforceable. Uh.
And and theoretically, if he was in the US, you'd
have to include that write off on his tax return
because it's income. If you will, you know that the
satisfaction of the debt is income or the whether or
the destruction of the debt. So that's what the bank
(27:47):
would do. They're not going it come it's not worth it.
We're going to pursue them in New Jersey. They're going
to take a write off and be better and be
better for it.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Really, ask this one question, because you just raise a
good point. If he but if they can't find him
and they're not going to pursue looking for him to
pay the debt, does Porscha now have the right to not.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
If she says she sells the house, does she have
the right to not pay him? And unless she can't
find him.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
It depends on what It depends on what's in the decree.
But if there's any ambiguity, what you'd go go, you know,
in a few months from now, say, and if they
were still not making the payments, you'd go back to
the judge and say, look, he's not complying with your obligation.
The only thing I had choice I have now is
to sell the house, get the aquity equity out of it.
(28:38):
May I have permission to sell it now and deduct
what he hasn't paid me from his fifty percent of
The judge I'm sure would approve. And the sooner they
do that the better.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Okay, So they approve it.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
She gets the check, she's supposed to legally say.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
She gets eight, she makes eight million.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Dollars, right, and he's entitled to four minus whatever debt
he owes that he didn't pay.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
If they clear eight public.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
If they clear eight, she takes her four. There's three
if it.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
Left, if she's if she's made whole and there's something
left in the residuary of the sale, yeah, then he'd
be Entitledho was fifty he do the numbers, forty five
hundred thousand dollars an alimony for fourteen months. Let's say
that you know you're going to forget the expenses because
you're going to sell the price. You know, if there's
(29:35):
anything left, he gets a piece of it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Sure, Why she can't find him, like he's disappeared in
plain sight? Is it her obligation to try to find
him to pay him the money from for his seller,
I mean for his share of the house.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Well no, Look the way the closing, the closing would
work would be whatever's left would be held in the
closing attorney's escroyd count and they reach out to them saying, hey,
we got to we got a million dollars for you.
Where do we send it? I can you can be certain.
Simon would say, here are the wire transfer information. You
(30:16):
would be gone in a minute if there's anything left.
If there's anything left.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
This is this is beyond fascinating because again it sort
of shows you the strategy that goes into play when
you're dealing with marriage that has gone through divorce, allegations
of scamming, international play.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Here.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I I'm therown away by exactly what I mean, blown away.
Excuse I'm blown.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Away by exactly the details Steve, because I'd expect any
of this. I'm actually shocked by the revelation and the strategy.
But again that's why people like Steve make all the
big box. It is a very is what you said.
It's all about who's the smartest in the room. And
(31:09):
that's what I got from this this time episode.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Yeah, look, I don't know if it's all about smart
it's about taking advantage of the opportunity that came up.
Whoever got him into ice lawyer said to him, get
the hell out, you walk away from this, you'll be
better off for it. And just taking advantage of the
of the factual situation is what he's doing. Now. Who
could play that?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
My last question.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Based on that, based on the fact that him being
called by caught by ice benefit of him in the
long run, well in the short run, because this is
happening now, could Simon have called ice on himself?
Speaker 5 (31:47):
You know what you've said, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean,
I wouldn't be surprised if it was some sort of
a plan. Right, although again, rather than spending four months,
other than spending four months in iced attention, I would
have just gone back to Nigeria.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
That's true, Okay said, Well, you know, he has.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
An ego, so he probably never suspected he retained for
that long though, so it could have been that it
backfired on him as well.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
It could There only is one other theoretical.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Four million, potentially four million dollars would you have done
the time, Carlos, No, I spent four time.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
I spend a lot of time in jail and I
can't wait to leave as soon as I get there.
So so how four months is a long time, especially
if you're in an ICED attention facility forget about? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yeah interesting, yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure this is not
going to be the.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Last, right right, Here's.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Please our folks anytime to joy to see you guys
will be on the show again anytime.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Oh, Corney, Courtney, Courtney, that that was a gag of
the gag, gag a gag.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
So you asked a great question though, like did he
call ice on himself? We're gonna have to do some
investigating because you know this is not it. This is
not over with Simon. I know Porschas some were sitting saying,
I wish this was over for for for.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Me, yes, and I want to get going for her too.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
It's a tough little swallow. It's like they never ending saga,
a divorce. But yeah, but like you said, who knows
what's next from this crazy story?
Speaker 2 (33:49):

rain Jobs another episode of Reality Crime Stories with Courtney Parker.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We are diving into.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
The ongoing saga that is Portia Williams and her ex
husband Signi Well Badia. So Courtney Parker, are you ready
for what is this? Courtney Like park eighteen fo Okay,
yeah too?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
The divorce story that just keeps on giving Like this
is a reality show in and of itself, and I
actually love it. This time, however, Carlos, I have taken
a turn for what the rain drops will say the better,
because as this thing continues to drag out, I become of.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Less empathetic towards Simon and more.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Teen Porsche, more and more Team Porsche, because I can
only imagine how she must be feeling just everything regarding
this never ending saga that is her life and her divorce.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah no, listen, that's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So we have our resident ex spur Steve joining us
in a bit. But let me update the rain drops
coordinate on exactly what we're talking about today. The title
of this episode is locked out and leans in you
knowsessment titles, So to catch you all up, rain Drop
(03:20):
Porsche Williams ex husband Simon Gobadia. As you know, they
finalize their divorce. Okay, he purchased a seven point three
million dollar mansion that has been under more legal paperwork,
then throw pillows, Hey Pampa by Porsche. But the finalization
(03:42):
of Portion and Simon's very contentious divorce, Simon was ordered
to cover the mortgage and household bills for three full
years to the tune of forty thousand dollars a month,
then spousal support for like I said, three years. However,
Simon is allegedly cutting corners by leaving mortgage payments unpaid,
(04:07):
lean's piling up, and Portie inevitably the one holding the bag.
So must show that his own lawyer filed a lead
against the house for over two hundred thousand dollars in
unpaid fees. So now the very home that was supposed
to symbolize Mada Bliss has become a court house hostage.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So, Courtney, what is going on in this? So I
didn't know this?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
So it's actually Simon's lawyer, Yeah, that filed the lean
against the house.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Listen, We're gonna have Steve talk about it from the
legal perspective. But again, we kind of call this when
when Simon got kicked out of the country when he
was deported. Everything that came against him in the United
(05:07):
States he could run for from he doesn't. He's not
obligated to do uphold anything within the United States.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
What are they going to do.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
He's no longer a citizen, he's no longer a resident,
He's no longer obligated to do anything. And this just
goes to show that this isn't just about mispayments here.
This is about the optics. Court documents show late notices,
they show unpaid balances, lean stacking up faster than housewife
(05:43):
shades on a reunion. But for someone who flaunted private
jets and designer suits, this feels a lot like malicious intent.
Remember when the world, including myself, was feeling like Portia's
team tipped off Vice to get him deported. Simon is
(06:05):
now taking the position of no accountability or obligation to
the American court system or their divorce.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
So let's bring in Courtney, our resident attorney, Steve Suzoo,
our legal expert, so that we are able to really
decipher exactly what's going on.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Happy to be back.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
We are so happy to have you back. So let's
just get right into it.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Okay, So did I say, we predicted all of this
month or so ago. I'm sorry to me, said.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well, you know, listen, don't be sorry. We it's the
reason why I'm going to expert and courty. I are
the nosy journalist. Hey, Poorsche, So talk to us about
the latest and greatest. So, Cordy and I have just
discovered that Simon's lawyer is the one who filed the
two hundred thousand dollars lean against the Hull.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Talk to us about that. How did that happen? But
most importantly, why is that happening?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Well? And so, a lot of states allow these kind
of let's call it a mechanical lean, if you will,
where a lawyer can file against somebody's property. New York
does not. Some states allow it, and it's you write
it into the retainer agreement. Where you're where you're where
you're committed to legal fees based on your assets, and
(07:31):
a lawyer can file a lee. It's fairly common in
a lot of states, not New York. New York doesn't
doesn't allow lawyers to do that.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Right, let me ask a question, if I might, Carlos,
So you kind of predicted this? You absolutely not? Kind
of you predicted this when we were running with the
notion of did porsious team call Ice tip Ice off
to have him deported? And you over emphasize and stressed
(08:03):
the fact that it would not be in their best
interest even though it was considered a legal strategy, it
would it would be a strategy that backfired. Does de
portion excuse Simon from pain.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Well, it doesn't. It doesn't excuse him. But you know,
an unenforceable order is is worthless. I mean, it has
no it has no meaning. Look, there's a couple of agreements.
There's a treaty out there, the Hague Treaty if your
if your country is a signatory, and that that they
they will allow the signature countries to enforce support orders
(08:44):
from the United States or to the United States. But
for several reasons, it doesn't help Poorsha here. One is
Nigeria is not a signatory to the Hague Treaty. And two,
the United States is only a signatory and so far
as child support obligations are concerned, and we know there
are no children here, so that that that really doesn't help. Really,
(09:06):
the only method by which he can enforces his assets
here in the United States that's the home, of course,
and hopefully it has for her sake, it has substantial
equity in it. We don't know that though. We're assuming
the mortgage, which is rarely public, is in the fifty
percent range. That would still leave about three million dollars
or so in equity. So that's not nothing. Frankly, the
(09:29):
money is about in fact, Yeah, is Simon.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Doing this in your opinion because he wants to either
make matters worse for Portia, you know, and then Leana
gets the home that he owns, or is he doing
this as a financial legal strategy because and if it listen,
it could be both.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And if it's both, Okay, you asked the My second
question first is.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What does I'm to get out of having this lean
on the home net ports of a thigh thin?
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Yeah, well, I mean it's it's called it's called leverage, right.
I mean, if he starts to pay the monthly expenses,
you know that that's coming out of his pocket. On
the other hand, if the house is closer to forfeiture
or or or it is closer for the bank taking
it back, then you know he gained some leverage. He's
(10:26):
going to have more of an incentive to resolve this
in a way that is acceptable. She can always say, hey, look, Simon,
let's agree on ex will cell house. Now I get
two thirds, you get one third. But he has no
incentive until that happens. Let it go. Why should he care?
And again, we're assuming that the mortgage is around fifty percent.
(10:48):
It could be I don't know, twenty percent, could be
eighty percent. We just don't know. My guess is that
the down payment is a lot smaller than fifty percent,
which means paying a lot of equity there. What does
he care anyway? It's not going to be anything left
at the end of it anyway. So it's a great
it's a great legal strategy. That is what I would
(11:08):
advise him to do if he was in Nigeria.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I feel so sorry.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Again, we've watched all of this play out, We've watched
the kind of volley from both positions. But today, after
reading this and doing our research for this episode, I
really feel sorry for Porsche. She gets the divorce, she
finally gets the divorce that she wants, and this marriage
(11:38):
has this marriage and divorce has quickly become an absolute
nightmare for her. Instead of peace, She's tied up in
you know, more legal disaster and financial debt as a
as a result of this ongoing thing with with Simon.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
What could she do?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
What can she do besides just sell the house because
it's she's still living in the marital home.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Correct, Yeah, well they're really Look I wish there was
a great strategy, but as we discussed on previous shows,
it's the assets here in the United States that give
her some leverage. And all we know is Simon has
a has an interest in that house. That's all we know.
(12:32):
Are there other assets here that are attachable? That's what
she should be going after. She should probably have an
investigator looking to see if she can track any interesting
assets that he has. But if the answer to that
is no, that house is it is okay.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
So Simon, by the port of law, was told that
he must pay the mortgage for this house.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, I'm big in Nigeria.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And by this lean happening, does this prevent him from
paying the monthly mortgage payments?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
No? No, absolutely, Look the lean that his attorney just
put on, it is just something that secures the attorney's interest.
Right if if if somebody were the want to buy
the house in foreclosure, and that Lian was still outstanding,
the purchaser would have to satisfy that that two hundred
(13:29):
thousand dollars. But right now it's just it's a placeholder
protecting that lawyer's interest. And by the way, interest in
terms of dollars, accrues until the debt is paid.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
So is it is it safe to say that not
only did he is he abandoning his responsibilities to their
multimillion dollar mansion, essentially obligating her to keep up the
mortgage on her own, but he's also tacking on his
(14:07):
attorney fees to the.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
House and hers for nothing. Why then he's supposed to
pay her attorney's fees too. That's another two fifty or so.
So we're talking about half a million dollars that that
is going to come out of the house and not
go into either one of them. Well, indirectly, it goes
to Simon because it's not out of his pocket, right,
(14:30):
so he either bays the half a million himself or
he doesn't pay the half a million. It comes out
of his portion of the equity. If there's enough to
cover it, and I suspect there isn't. Let's just put
it this suppose there was one hundred million dollars, one
hundred million dollar house, we're talking about three or four
(14:50):
million dollars. Is what is what she's entitled to in
terms of you know, the divorced settlement, right, you know
mortgage is paying two or three million dollars? Is what
what her get out of the divorce decree? Well, if
the house is worth one hundred million dollars, it's an
asset you want to preserve, right, you want to pay
it down. You don't want the bank to get it
is they sell it at auction penny's on a dollar.
(15:12):
They don't want to do that. But there isn't enough
left for that to be the motivating factor for Simon.
There isn't enough money in the house left for it
to affect Simon. But to go back to your first
part of your question, one, isn't vindictive? Yeah, there's always
in matrimony. Again, we talked about this several shows. There's
always a vindictive aspect to matrimonial actions. Somebody wants the
(15:37):
other party to pay, to suffer, to look bad. That's
just the way it is. He being vindictive, You bet,
he's being vindictive, As you said, Carlos it's both. The
answer is both. He's doing it for two reasons, both
of them, as you mentioned, addictiveness, and it's a smart
legal strategy, is it right, Courtney? No, it is he
(15:58):
a deadbeat? Yeah'd be. We're taking care of his responsibility. Yeah,
he should be. But we don't live in a perfect world.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
So I have a question.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I'm just going to throw out there and wait for
all the comments to come rolling in.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Do we think.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
That Simon is a mastermind with this play or rain drops?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
If I can call your rain drops rain drops, Carly.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
This is it serves Porsche right for thinking she was
the exception to the rule.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Well, I mean legally with you know, lawyers, you're not
supposed to have heart or emotion when it comes to
the other party. As far as if you are Simon's lawyer,
she could. She could be living on the street for
all you care. We don't. We're not. Our interest is
in our client. The client comes first, not the client
(17:00):
sex wife. And so no, I don't. I don't think
there's any interest whatsoever do it. Do I feel bad
for her on some level? Yeah? Absolutely. Anybody who gets
who gets treated in this way, you know, there's it's
a reason to feel our sympathy. But if I were
Simon's Laura, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy
for her whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Let's flip it.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
If you were Porsche's lawyer, how what and how would
you be advising her right now?
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Well, if I was the lawyer who suggested dropping the
immigration time on him, I would be hiding out someplace, living,
presumably in the witness security program because whoever advised that, forever,
whoever dropped that that idea is it really should be?
I mean, actually shout so you know, But you have
(17:50):
to be telling her I think you do just as
I'm telling you, if you're honest and look, I have
no interest in the outcome, right I have. I can
be completely objective about this. The answer to your client
who says, what am I going to do about it?
Is you better hold onto that house and sell it
as quickly as you can because you don't have any
other leverage. Right, And she's going to say I'm not
(18:11):
doing that. I'm you know, she's going to be vindictive too, right,
That's what happens in the matrimonial action.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
And that's gonna be my thing for me because I'm
not gonna go off court. I'm sorry, but for me,
the million dollar question, or in this case, it's seven.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Point three million dollar question, since that's how must the
house costs.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
A lot of people are questioning why keep this house?
Why supports chemic a house that has massive mid rooms,
massive land, and she's a single woman, she has one child.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yes, you may have a big family, but for all.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
The purposes, this house is a reminder of your past
that you should want to be able to like step
away from Courtney asked a good question about you know, legally,
would you advise her to sell the house?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
You're pretty much saying you would.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
On the other side, let's let's say that Steve, you know,
legally Porsche doesn't want to sell the house. As her attorney,
what legal sort of leverage does she have to stand
on by keeping the house? If there is any or
(19:36):
or or or is this a situation where a client
is more concerned about the vanity of a man time
min dollar house versus the smart strategy of letting this
go move on with your life.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So this guy doesn't have something like this to do
to you.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Again, well, look, if it depends on the client's pack
sual position. If she needs money and she can't afford
to wait and hold on to that judgment and watch
it accumulate for the day when he either leads Nigeria
or you find an asset, well, then she could wait
(20:16):
because it technically worth millions of dollars the longer he
doesn't pay it. On the other hand, you know, if
she's struggling to make ends meet, well, you know she's
going to have to be do the practical thing, and
that's dumped that house again, assuming there's a reasonable amount
of equity in it, and assuming he's willing to, you know,
negotiate with her right now. He has no interest in
(20:37):
doing so. But yeah, it depends on what the client,
what the client's position.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Is, and we don't know that several people have implied
or alleged that this is too extensive of a property
for her to maintain, even on her Bravo Countless Ventures
branding deals. If she decides that, hey, he's not fulfilling
(21:08):
his obligations, I'm going to take over the mortgage payment.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I'll settle it.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Can she force or buy his question from him all
the debt that he's accumulated.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Sure, In other words, you know that just as he
has an incentive not to pay this, uh, her paying
that monthly mortgage and monthly expenses really ends up in
his pocket because it's contributing to the to the equity, right,
and who knows how that's going to play out. So
you know, look, you know, should she do that? No,
(21:46):
she's got to dump this place. That's the reality. I mean,
it's there's no, that's the asset. We keep going back to,
how do you enforce the matrimonial decree? It's in effect
the judgment call it agree, but it's a judgment, right
enforce it. He can only enforce it rationally on assets
that he has an interest in here in the United States.
(22:07):
That's the way to do this. That That really is
her only alternative. I wish there were others, but that's
really it.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Yeah, because he can skip town, but he can't skip his.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Accountability absolutely eventually.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Right, she's living the harsh reality of his obligations now
are in theory. But her obligations to the property, because
her name is on it, her credit can be affected
by the lane's lack of payment.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
We don't know for sure that, but can it that's
a good question. Can it becomes the house of done
her name.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Yeah, sure, but look it's it can because she has
an interest in the property, and when that property is foreclosed,
she's the one who's going to be in it, right,
She's the one who's going to get kicked out. She's
the one they're going to drag out while the marshalls
go in and the sheriff goes in and takes over
the property and they take all the contents and all
(23:08):
the belongings and so on and so forth. So I
don't know if her name is actually on the d
but still she's going to go down as the wife
of the guy who's you know whatever, seven million dollar
mansion was seized, and it's not a good position to
be in.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I do believe her house is on.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
The d Like, if her name is on the deed,
then she's she's responsible. It's the mortgage on her, correct,
She's one. I mean, for the most part, you're your
tenants by the entirety. If you're married, you know, you
get automatic rights to each other's if you somebody else
house dies or something. But yeah, she's gonna she's gonna
(23:49):
be a responsible she's gotta she's gotta dump the place again,
unless there are some secret assets there. She's got a
private investigator who's tracking down Simon's asset as we speak.
But again, I mean, but that's what I would advise
the client to do. But that quests money. Now, finding
a financial investigator to track down assets is a really
(24:10):
expensive proposition.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
And it's not like Simon is hiding. If he's hiding,
he's hiding in plain sight. He's in Dubai with his youngest.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Daughter right now.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
He's all over social media, so he's actively letting you
know what he's doing. And it's very clear from these
lians what he's not doing.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
It's one way to put it. That's right. He's not
saying he's not saying his death absolutely a deadbeat. I mean,
let's face it, he's walking away from the woman he
married and the woman he promised the life too and
promised a and he's just simply walking away from it
because he doesn't like the result of the judgment. That's
not how things work. He doesn't like the fact that
he had a prenuptial that was enforced, doesn't like the
(24:58):
fact that the court order. You know, that's it's not right.
But he's showing the world. Hey, I don't care, come
get me. You know where I asked a known scammer.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I hate to say this now, but no, it's like
everything that he read we read about him, from the
very first episode of Reality Crime Stories, the deportation fiasco,
the fraud to get back into the US, to the
(25:32):
scam allegations.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
To the just all of it.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It's well, that's the joy of it, right.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
The joy of is he he get all this sympathy
because he was held in detention for several months and
now all of a sudden, folks that don't realize, wait
a minute, he was able as a result of that,
he was able to get out from under a seven
million dollar a judgment against them. Not that, Carl, that's
a thing.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah. How do you.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Feel about how Porstia's publicly handling this?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Well, look, I think the fact that she has allowed
the chatter to.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Be the bloggers and not necessarily her.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
They are filming the new season of Atlanta Housewives that's
been widely reported, so possibly we get to hear about
this on the upcoming season. But I think in terms
of her silence, I think that's and I'm sure any
lawyer would say it's best to not say anything to
something at all. So, unlike Simon, who is doing interviews,
(26:38):
Portia hasn't said much about the latest discovery. And look,
it is one of those things where I do want
to ask you this, Steve. If Simon fails to pay
any of the mortgage in this home, although it was
granted by the judge, he should, what happens to him.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I don't want to pay any mortgage fees. I don't
feel like doing that.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Probably nothing, because if there's enough equity in the house. Uh,
then the bank is just going to foreclose sell the property.
And the difference between what they get for the house
and what is oh, they'll just simply write off is
a bad debt and you take a tax deduction on that,
and most banks are very happy about it. And once
(27:25):
you write it off, that's it. It's no longer enforceable. Uh.
And and theoretically, if he was in the US, you'd
have to include that write off on his tax return
because it's income. If you will, you know that the
satisfaction of the debt is income or the whether or
the destruction of the debt. So that's what the bank
(27:47):
would do. They're not going it come it's not worth it.
We're going to pursue them in New Jersey. They're going
to take a write off and be better and be
better for it.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Really, ask this one question, because you just raise a
good point. If he but if they can't find him
and they're not going to pursue looking for him to
pay the debt, does Porscha now have the right to not.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
If she says she sells the house, does she have
the right to not pay him? And unless she can't
find him.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
It depends on what It depends on what's in the decree.
But if there's any ambiguity, what you'd go go, you know,
in a few months from now, say, and if they
were still not making the payments, you'd go back to
the judge and say, look, he's not complying with your obligation.
The only thing I had choice I have now is
to sell the house, get the aquity equity out of it.
(28:38):
May I have permission to sell it now and deduct
what he hasn't paid me from his fifty percent of
The judge I'm sure would approve. And the sooner they
do that the better.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Okay, So they approve it.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
She gets the check, she's supposed to legally say.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
She gets eight, she makes eight million.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Dollars, right, and he's entitled to four minus whatever debt
he owes that he didn't pay.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
If they clear eight public.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
If they clear eight, she takes her four. There's three
if it.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
Left, if she's if she's made whole and there's something
left in the residuary of the sale, yeah, then he'd
be Entitledho was fifty he do the numbers, forty five
hundred thousand dollars an alimony for fourteen months. Let's say
that you know you're going to forget the expenses because
you're going to sell the price. You know, if there's
(29:35):
anything left, he gets a piece of it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Sure, Why she can't find him, like he's disappeared in
plain sight? Is it her obligation to try to find
him to pay him the money from for his seller,
I mean for his share of the house.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Well no, Look the way the closing, the closing would
work would be whatever's left would be held in the
closing attorney's escroyd count and they reach out to them saying, hey,
we got to we got a million dollars for you.
Where do we send it? I can you can be certain.
Simon would say, here are the wire transfer information. You
(30:16):
would be gone in a minute if there's anything left.
If there's anything left.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
This is this is beyond fascinating because again it sort
of shows you the strategy that goes into play when
you're dealing with marriage that has gone through divorce, allegations
of scamming, international play.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Here.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I I'm therown away by exactly what I mean, blown away.
Excuse I'm blown.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Away by exactly the details Steve, because I'd expect any
of this. I'm actually shocked by the revelation and the strategy.
But again that's why people like Steve make all the
big box. It is a very is what you said.
It's all about who's the smartest in the room. And
(31:09):
that's what I got from this this time episode.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Yeah, look, I don't know if it's all about smart
it's about taking advantage of the opportunity that came up.
Whoever got him into ice lawyer said to him, get
the hell out, you walk away from this, you'll be
better off for it. And just taking advantage of the
of the factual situation is what he's doing. Now. Who
could play that?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
My last question.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Based on that, based on the fact that him being
called by caught by ice benefit of him in the
long run, well in the short run, because this is
happening now, could Simon have called ice on himself?
Speaker 5 (31:47):
You know what you've said, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean,
I wouldn't be surprised if it was some sort of
a plan. Right, although again, rather than spending four months,
other than spending four months in iced attention, I would
have just gone back to Nigeria.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
That's true, Okay said, Well, you know, he has.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
An ego, so he probably never suspected he retained for
that long though, so it could have been that it
backfired on him as well.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
It could There only is one other theoretical.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Four million, potentially four million dollars would you have done
the time, Carlos, No, I spent four time.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
I spend a lot of time in jail and I
can't wait to leave as soon as I get there.
So so how four months is a long time, especially
if you're in an ICED attention facility forget about? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yeah interesting, yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure this is not
going to be the.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Last, right right, Here's.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Please our folks anytime to joy to see you guys
will be on the show again anytime.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Oh, Corney, Courtney, Courtney, that that was a gag of
the gag, gag a gag.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
So you asked a great question though, like did he
call ice on himself? We're gonna have to do some
investigating because you know this is not it. This is
not over with Simon. I know Porschas some were sitting saying,
I wish this was over for for for.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Me, yes, and I want to get going for her too.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
It's a tough little swallow. It's like they never ending saga,
a divorce. But yeah, but like you said, who knows
what's next from this crazy story?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Who knows what's next?
Speaker 4 (33:51):
