  • EXCLUSIVE Facetime w/ #RHOA Peter Thomas: Matt Jordan Fight, Cynthia Bailey Divorce & More…

    Apr, 25 2017 | Written by ATLien

    Peter Thomas of The Real Housewives of Atlanta wants you guys to know a few things about reality television.

    The soon to be ex-husband of supermodel Cynthia Bailey is known for his way with words and his outspokenness and I’ve gathered lots of tea during our previous interviews.

    Last year around this time, he and I dished on the RHOA reunion (click HERE if you missed that) and this year, Peter has decided to address his thoughts on reality television and how it aided in the demise of his marriage.

    “I wanted to walk away from this saying… ‘I helped her, we helped each other’.? She’s in a better place financially, spiritually and mentally and we don’t have no beef.”

    Just for the record, there are 3 separate videos because our chat over 30 minutes long (Peter loves to TALK hunni!)

    Watch video of Peter Thomas’ interview below…

    While I would hope that you guys would care enough to watch our entire mini tea party, I’ve made an effort break the interview into segments and to note a few of the pertinent details.

    In Part 1 of our Facetime interview, Peter and I discuss his reported fight with Kenya Moore’s rent-a-date, Matt Jordan.

    Peter and Matt got into a physical altercation during a radio interview in Charlotte back Tuesday, March 21, 2017. I was attending to my grandmother’s funeral that week, so I never blawgged about it but I wanted to hear the deets from Peter himself…


    VIDEO: Facetime w/Peter Thomas (Part 1) Discusses Fight With Matt Jordan
    Matt reportedly lunged at Peter during the interview and Peter pulled out a boxcutter he had in his pocket to defend himself.

    “He charged me! And the whole time he was coming at me, I had a box cutter in my pocket. and Matt’s like 6’5 and 250…. he’s like 33/35 and I’m 56… I don’t wanna fight this n*cca! F*ck I’m doing fighting?

    That Brooklyn sh*t came outta me… that Jamaican sh*t came outta me quick! I had that n*gga in a neckhold and the boxcutter to his face! When he saw it he panicked like a b*tch!

    It was all caught on tape since the station was videoing it for Facebook, however Matt hit the station with a cease & desist to prevent the footage from being released.

    For those of you who missed the backstory, Matt drove all the way to Charlotte from Atlanta to fight Peter over something he said online

    [READ: Peter Thomas and Matt Jordan Brawl During Radio Interview…]

    During our discussion, Peter says he filed assault charges against Matt and there is now a warrant for Matt’s arrest in Charlotte. He also says that he had his attorney file a subpoena to obtain the fight footage and PROMISES to send it over when it’s released.

    Now for the juicy stuff…

    In part 2 of our interview, Peter discusses how reality television destroys relationships…


    VIDEO: Facetime w/Peter Thomas (Part 2) Discusses How Reality TV Destroys Relationships
    Peter feels every thing that the fame and pressures of being on a reality tv show with our significant other, is a major contributing factor for break ups.

    He mentions fellow RHOA cast mates Nene & Gregg Leaks, Porsha Williams & Kordell Stewart and Phaedra Parks & Apollo Nida as prime examples of how being under a microscope can cause dissension in a marriage.

    The worse was Apollo and Phaedra!

    I was with him [Apollo] at his house and I was with him when he was showing me the stuff about the African… and knowing that he didn’t talk to his babies… and that she ran off somewhere with the kids.

    I said then that I hope if me and Cynthia ever come to a halt that it’s never like all the sh*t I’ve seen on the show.

    When asked about his own relationship, Peter admits that having producers, cameramen, glam squads and assistants all traipsing through his marital home on a daily basis killed the a lot of the romance between he and Cynthia Bailey. Especially since they never got a chance to actually be newlyweds outside of the cameras.

    The best year of my life was the year the first year of us living together.? The moment we got on the show, it became something else.

    I understand the business aspect of it… but I didn’t know it was going to be so invasive to our personal life.

    In part 3, Peter discusses his pending divorce from Cynthia Bailey and how it was a mutual decision to part ways.


    VIDEO: Facetime w/Peter Thomas (Part 3): Divorcing Cynthia
    Now y’all know how I feel about Peter & Cynthia’s ?ber friendly divorce situation. It’s almost unheard of… especially when there are camera’s rolling!

    Peter totally scoffed at the idea of his pending divorce being ‘made for tv’ and says that while he was a bit bitter at first, he loved Cynthia enough to set her free.

    “She gave up on me. Like I said on the show, she got off on that train way before me. She got off that train while I was still on.”

    One thing that Thomas wanted ‘the world’ to know is that they are both mature enough to part ways amicably and that it can be done, despite all of our side-eyes.

    “No we’re not going to pull a Gregg & Nene… “

    He says he was angry for a while, but leaving Atlanta allowed him to be calm enough to part ways in a mature fashion. He says he didn’t want anything from the marriage and even decided to hold off on the divorce strictly for tax purposes… which is why he says they filed divorce in Feburary 2017, instead of last year.

    Peter also notes that he made a conscious decision to part ways with as little mess as possible because he didn’t want relationship drama being a part of his tv legacy.

    Those are the pertinent points, but Peter said so much more so if you have time, definitely watch the interview.

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
