In addition to what fans deemed was a shocking new look, the 61-year-old disclosed in the caption the sole reason behind this change: a fresh start. Thomas wrote while mentioning what his daughter called him when he came home, “It’s one of those f–king days, I look like I just came home after doing 20 years, my daughter said I look like a MILK DUD, SMFH, some time you just have to start over, f–k it.”

As Thomas’ post went viral, many proclaimed how unrecognizable he looked without his beard. Others told the celebrity to glue his beard back on.

“Harpo, who is dis man.”

“If you don’t glue that beard back on and quit playing!!”

“SoMeTiMeS yOu GoTtA sTaRT oVeR. Who TF said that. Peter pick those clippings up & find you some hair glue, Elmer’s, two-sides tape or something coz no sir.”

“Wait a minute!!! is this the same individual? He better never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever #cuthisbeard.”

“His beard is such a big part of his appearance now that it’s gone he’s a whole nother person.”

Among the “unrecognizable” remarks, several people mentioned how a beard is an essential accessory for men. One wrote, “Yea, beards definitely have the same effect as makeup.” Another said, “And that’s why all beards matter.”

Thomas isn’t the only “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star who caught fans off guard with a shaven face. In April, Kandi Burruss uploaded an Instagram video that showed her husband, Todd Tucker, without his signature beard.

In the before-and-after recording, Tucker is seen flaunting his braids when a computer-generated voice says, “This is how he looks normally.” Another clip showcased Tucker getting a touchup to his hair when Burruss applied a filter that removes his beard. The same computer-operated voice then says, “Todd never needs to cut his beard.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
