Cynthia Bailey’s Gorgeous New Photo Has Fan Thinking She’s Prodding Ex Peter Thomas About What He’s Missing

Intentional or not,  Cynthia Bailey is teasing what ex-husband Peter Thomas is missing out on — and what her new man Mike Hill now has.

The star of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” appeared to be feeling herself Monday, Feb. 25, as she decided to upload a sultry black-and-white photo of herself to her Instagram page.

“Residing in my own skin✨” the 52-year-old model captioned the pic of her draped in a long white fur coat and what appears to be little else.

Followers of Bailey couldn’t stop enthusing about the photo.

“Cynthia Cynthia Cynthia Cynthia hear me when I say this photo is a MOMENT💣”

“🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💕❤️❤️Queening 👑”

“Serve us Ms. Cynthia!”

“Show ‘em how it’s done Auntie Cynt! 🙌🏼”

And one fan even remarked, “no wonder Peter mad.”

Bailey divorced Thomas in 2017 after the pair spent a year separated as their marriage fell apart. Speaking to Bravo about finalizing the split, she said she was the “real MVP” of the divorce and said she “probably handled it better than he did.”

“He did try it a couple times,” she said with a laugh. “But he brought it back in. … He reciprocated my energy and he responded to the light and love that I was giving him.”

As for how Thomas may have “tried it,” the business owner stopped by Charlotte’s  Power98 to speak with Vonyetta about how he thinks Bailey is to blame for the demise of their union.

“I said many times on the show that she doesn’t believe in what I do,” he explained. “So if you don’t believe in what I do for a living, you don’t believe in me. And basically, that was the demise of our marriage.”

Bailey later said her ex is “entitled to feel however he wants to feel. … I know what I gave to this marriage, and I think I wholeheartedly supported his business ventures. I had just reached my personal breaking point.”

Since the divorce, the pair has not been seen together aside from Bailey stopping by Thomas’ venue in Charlotte after he ran into her on a date with then-boyfriend Will Jones. And while each of them has now moved on — Bailey with Fox Sports 1 analyst Hill and Thomas with girlfriend Toni — maybe Thomas is still not too keen on his ex seeing someone new.

During an episode of “RHOA” this season, Thomas stopped by pals Nene and Gregg Leakes’ home when the subject of Bailey’s new man was brought up.

“I didn’t know it was real,” Thomas said plainly. Nene assured him the couple is going strong and suggested he and Hill should meet, which Thomas dismissed, citing his busy schedule.

“I don’t watch Fox Sports, I watch ESPN. Stephen A. Smith, that’s my guy,” Thomas also said shadily.

 

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.
