Cynthia Bailey Shuts Down Fans Who Thinks She is Shading Ex-Husband Peter Thomas In Recent Post 

Cynthia Bailey recently posted a meme as a warning of sorts and one fan thought she was taking a dig at her ex-husband Peter Thomas.

On Friday, Oct. 19, Bailey uploaded a message on Instagram that said, “You can NEVER build a kingdom with someone who still craves attention from the village.”

The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star punctuated the message by commenting with a target emoji.

Several fans boosted the message.

“Facts 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾”

“YES YES and YES.”

“You ain’t never lied!!! @cynthiabailey10 You right when you said whatchu said!!!”

“Preach sista.”

“@cynthiabailey10 Let ’em KNOW 🙌🏽 🙌🏽 🙌🏽 🙌🏽”

“Super facts…I didn’t want to move out the hood my wife opened my eyes to the better life for our kids and it was the best move we ever did…no one knowing me in my neighborhood feels pretty good 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿.”

However, one follower thought the message was meant for Thomas, whom Bailey was married to for six years.

“I think it’s low key Peter Thomas though,” Instagram user @tee6044 said.

“Nope. Think again,❤️” Bailey responded.

Since dissolving their union, which played out during the eighth season of “RHOA,” the duo has been on friendly terms, with Bailey even saying on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” earlier this year that she was “happy” for Thomas meeting someone new.

“I haven’t met her but I’m happy for Peter,” she said of her entrepreneur ex dating a woman named Toni. “Yeah, I’m happy for him.”

And Bailey has firmly moved on from Thomas too. She’s smitten with her Fox Sports 1 anchor beau, Mike Hill, whom she met thanks to a dating segment on Steve Harvey’s show earlier this year.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
