‘Looks Like That Could be Your Daughter’: Peter Thomas’ Affectionate Photo of Sleeping Girlfriend Goes Left Fast

Peter Thomas uploaded a new photo with his girlfriend to his Instagram page, and while the image was meant to show his affection for her, fans quickly took it in a whole other direction.

In the early hours of March 19, Thomas shared a pic of his sleeping girlfriend, Toni, resting on his gray hair-covered chest as the former “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star looked at the camera. He managed to snap a selfie of the couple and shared the results on Monday.

“Wow!!! ❤️❤️❤️ this picture, love watching her sleep, but the bonnet tho😂😂😂 she is going be 😡😡😡 when she wake up and see this @iloveyoutoni #blacklove don’t hate. @sportsoneclt @cluboneclt can’t Waite to read y’all f–ked up comment #charlotte #queencity,” Thomas wrote in the photo’s caption.

While Toni, who has been dating Thomas since 2017, hasn’t chimed in on the photo, several other fans have. On Thomas’ cue, they are remarking on how young Toni seems in comparison to the graying businessman.

“What in the R Kelly is going on???”

“Looks like that could be your daughter. 😂😂”

“You look like old Grandpa to her ewwwa 🙎🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️😅”

“The answer is…NO! I’m throwing up in my mouth right now. Peter, you’re too damn old for this type of post. Yuk!”

“Thats not a sugar daddy it more like a condense milk daddy.”

“She better sleep on that 100% Egyptian cotton taco meat yasss 😂”

Thomas began dating Toni, a single mom of two, after he and “RHOA” star Cynthia Bailey divorced in May 2017. The pair had separated the previous year after seven years of marriage.

Not much is known about Thomas’ current girlfriend, who appears to have only recently joined Instagram as her first post is dated Jan. 4. However, she has been open about her early struggles parenting two young daughters alone. She’s also shared her passion for holistic health and wellness and has shared some photos of her lovingly posing with Thomas.

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.
