‘She’s No Cynthia Bailey’: Haters Flood Peter Thomas’ Comments with Negative Remarks Surrounding Girlfriend, ‘RHOA’ Alum Has Seemingly Had It

Peter Thomas took advantage of the long Memorial Day weekend by jetting off to Miami with his girlfriend Toni Scott in tow. But a photo he uploaded of her automatically led to comparisons to his ex-wife, Cynthia Bailey. In response, Thomas hit back.

The one-time Bravolebrity shared a photo of Scott to his Instagram account May 25. In it, the single mom posed on Miami beach in a gold-hued bikini, her hair protected by a headscarf and her hands clasped behind her head.

“BEAUTIFUL.. absolutely ❤️❤️ killing them. @sportsoneclt @clubonecl,” Thomas gushed about his girlfriend of two years.

The image led to the usual response from viewers of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” who slithered into the comments to remark about how Scott compares to Bailey.

“Noooo comparison to Cynthia!!!!!!!”

“Hmm I think Cynthia is better she seems a little thotish😮”

“could N E V E R compare to @cynthiabailey10. she’s the queen & will always be.”

“She’s a beautiful much younger woman Peter, but she’s no Cynthia Bailey bro. Best wishes Peter.”

The last comment resulted in a response from Thomas, who took up for his girl by saying, “@reneehopkins1967 that’s what beautiful about her.”

Afterward, many fans flooded Thomas’ comments section with messages backing his stance. They may have even been more fed up with the comparisons between Thomas’ current boo and his ex than he was.

“@peterthomasrhoa tell them Peter! And she is gorgeous 💯💯💯💯”

“@peterthomasrhoa good response. They need to stop comparing her to Cynthia.”

“💯💖💯💯💯💯💞💞@peterthomasrhoa Why does she have to be a Cynthia? Let him be happy. #Thatsindapast. Enjoy your vacation and your women 💖💯💖💯 #LIVELOVELAUGH @peterthomasrhoa.”

“Why people looking at this man pass and comparing his new lady she just as beautiful and they are two different people let people enjoy their relationships @peterthomasrhoa.”

Thomas and Scott have been showing off their love for one another much more publicly over the last several months.

On Mother’s Day earlier this month, the Charlotte, North Carolina-based business owner shared a loving ode to Scott, who is the mother of an elementary school-aged daughter and another daughter who is in middle school.

“Happy mother’s day to my beautiful @iloveyoutoni you’re a great mother to your beautiful daughter’s ❤️ you. @sportsoneclt @cluboneclt,” the ex-“RHOA” star gushed.

In April, Thomas shared a simple set of photos of the couple posing lovingly, with the caption “Good Morning: @iloveyoutoni keeping me right, @sportsoneclt @baronemiamibeach @cluboneclt ❤️❤️❤️ her.”

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.
