Jonathan Dupiton, the Man Linked to Porsha’s Divorce Drama, Just Got Hit with a Federal Indictment
Whew! The mess just keeps getting messier.
Jonathan Dupiton — the man who was all up in the middle of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia’s nasty divorce — is now facing some serious legal drama of his own. Media Take Out has confirmed that Jonathan is under federal indictment, accused of being involved in a wide-ranging PPP and unemployment fraud scheme.
The indictment was quietly handed down in February, but only recently unsealed, and now the tea is spilling fast.
From Alleged Side Dude to Defiant Podcaster
Let’s rewind for a second.
If you were following Porsha’s divorce saga, then you’ve already heard Jonathan’s name come up a lot. He was rumored to be the man Porsha was “allegedly” sneaking around with while still married to Simon. Word on the street is that Simon slid into Jonathan’s DMs, trying to figure out if his wife was cheating on him.
But instead of answering privately like a normal human being, Jonathan did what any 2020s man would do — he made a podcast about it.
Yes, he hit record and aired everything, giving his personal “rules” on cheating, side pieces, and why no man should ever come to him “as a man.”
“Don’t Come to Me About Your Girl…”
In his podcast rant, Jonathan made it clear that he has zero loyalty to any man. His exact words?
“Don’t be mad at me because I’m gonna be a [expletive] and hit. Be mad at her.”
He even offered some highly questionable “advice,” telling men to “keep their girl on a leash” if they don’t want her stepping out — and said that if a woman chooses to cheat, that’s on her, not the guy she cheats with.
Yikes. It was giving “future podcast villain” energy from the jump.
The Romance with Porsha
After Porsha officially filed for divorce from Simon, Jonathan and Porsha were spotted out together a lot. Dinner dates, matching outfits, cozy videos on social — they weren’t exactly hiding. While neither of them confirmed the relationship publicly, insiders told Media Take Out that the two were “definitely dating” for several months.
It was messy, spicy, and the internet couldn’t get enough.
But Now… the Feds Are Calling
Now Jonathan’s name is in the headlines for a very different reason. According to federal authorities, he’s allegedly linked to a multi-state scheme involving fraudulent PPP loans and unemployment claims — the kind of stuff that got people locked up during the pandemic for stealing COVID relief funds.
If convicted, Jonathan could be facing some serious prison time — we’re talking multiple years, fines, and possibly restitution.
No word yet on whether Porsha is standing by her man (or ex-man?), but considering she just escaped one high-profile legal mess, something tells us she might want to keep her distance.
Twitter Is Having a Field Day
Of course, social media wasted no time reacting.
“Jonathan told y’all he wasn’t loyal to no man… and apparently not to the federal government either.”
“So Porsha left Simon for a man who might be doing fed time? Girl…”
What’s Next?
Jonathan hasn’t made a public statement yet about the charges, but knowing his love for a hot mic, a “special episode” might be coming soon. Meanwhile, federal prosecutors are preparing for what could be a high-profile fraud case — especially with Jonathan’s ties to reality TV royalty.
Stay tuned. This drama just went from RHOA reunion messy to true crime docuseries level scandal. And baby, we’ve got our popcorn ready.
