‘Do You Still Think Peter Is a Beyotch?’: Nene Leakes Dissed as She Links Up With Cynthia Bailey’s Ex-Husband

Nene Leakes and Peter Thomas looked to be thick as thieves this week when the pair grabbed dinner with Leakes’ husband Gregg Leakes in Miami. But fans’ eyebrows were raised over Nene’s interactions with Thomas.

The Leakes were in Miami Monday to celebrate Thomas for the grand opening of Bar One in the Magic City, which officially began business Thursday. The meal at lavish Chinese restaurant Mr. Chow also served as a way for Thomas to celebrate his birthday about a month early.

“Hi, it’s your girl Nene Leakes, and Peter’s place is opening on Thursday!” “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star happily stated to the camera in a Sept. 9 video posted to Thomas’ Instagram page.

Leakes also shouted out Cynthia Bailey’s ex-husband for Sept. 9 being his “fake birthday” before telling fans she’ll try to be in attendance for the new venue’s opening. Meanwhile, the O.G. “RHOA” star’s hubby Gregg exclaimed “Yeah!” for the camera.

“My people, it’s all good. @baronemiamibeach,” Thomas captioned the video.

But while things were “all good” to Thomas, fans found the giddy gathering puzzling, considering the Charlotte, North Carolina-based businessman’s past tensions with Nene.

“@neneleakes do you still think Peter is a beyotch?! @peterthomasrhoa”

“I remember when she called you a B. She’s so fake. Watch your back.”

“Nene ain nobody’s Mutha* friend not even Gregs lol 🙄”

The remarks refer to the time during a couples sleepover in season 6 of “RHOA,” when Nene confronted Thomas for getting involved in the drama between her and Kenya Moore at the masquerade ball. That’s also when Nene’s relationship with Bailey began to worsen.

“This what you need to do,” Nene said in an episode with a pointed finger to Thomas. “You need to stay out of women business. You are causing f–king problems. You are the only husband, boyfriend, fiancé that gets involved in women business. What we do as women is between us. You need to roll with these fellas and not trying to roll with these women … You stop trying to be a damn b—-!”

However, it seems Thomas and Leakes have long put that behind them. During season 11, Thomas visited the Leakes home and caught up with the couple. While Nene acknowledged she and Bailey’s former hubby “used to bump heads,” she claimed they are now “just cool as s—.”

Presently, Thomas is also singing his pals’ praises, writing in the caption of another video with the crew at Miami’s Prime 112 steakhouse, “My friends are real, I ❤️ @neneleakes @greggleakes RHOA for ever. #charlotte #miami.”

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.
