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.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
