  • Quick Quotes: Cynthia Bailey’s Hubby Peter Thomas Puts Em’ All On Blast…

    Feb, 1 2011 | Written by ATLien

    The last time I saw Cynthia Bailey’s hubby Peter Thomas (aka “Uncle Ben” (c) Freshalina) was at Kandi Burruss’ “Kandi Koated” album release party. I was shocked when Peter walked up to me, kissed me on the cheek and told me he was “taking a break from being an “A”zzhole.”?

    I guess after all the drama of Season 3, Peter was feeling like he had been portrayed as the bad guy and wanted to relax and smile for a while.

    Well guess what? Break time is over and Peter is back on the clock!

    In an exclusive interview with Upscale Magazine, Peter reveals his true feelings about each and every one of the Atlanta Housewives.

    He even throws in a few jabs at the men in pumps who frequently appear alongside the women on the show.

    All I know is… Peter didn’t hold his tongue. Check out what he had to say below: Continue Reading…

    Boo?d Up: RHOA?s Cynthia Bailey & Peter Thomas?

    Dec, 8 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Model Cynthia Bailey of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and her hubby Peter Thomas were spotted all boo’d up at Collective Renaissance Guild’s 2010 Winter Ball honoring Toni Braxton & Martin Luther King, III.

    Cynthia is such a sweetheart. I love these two together!

    I know I included them in the Winter Ball post, but I felt the cute couple deserved a post of their own. As you know, the two tied the knot back in July 2010 and the path to their walk down the aisle is currently being played out on this season’s storyline.

    Peter’s Uptown Restaurant & Lounge closed down for a while after it was rumored he had tax issues.? The location has now changed ownership and has a new name.

    I’m not sure if Peter’s involved in the new project, but it’s now called Harlem Nights Ultra Lounge.? I guess that’s one less thing Peter has to stress about…. but he could have at least cracked a smile in the photos.

    Make sure you follow Cynthia on twitter @CynthiaBailey10

    The Collective Renaissance Guild (CRG) in partnership with Ford Motor Company and Perennial Entertainment and Sports celebrated the 2010 Winter Ball: Phoenix Rising in honor of Grammy award-winning artist Toni Braxton and global humanitarian Martin Luther King III on Saturday, December 4, 2010 at the Delta Heritage Museum.

    Guests enjoyed artistic performances by Buenos Aires Tango Academy of Atlanta, complimentary cocktails and hors d?oeuvres sponsored by Belvedere Intense, music by super producer Bryan-Michael Cox and DJ E-Class and a keynote address from Chaka Zulu, CEO of DTP Records.

    Others spotted at the swanky danky annual event included “housewives” of Atlanta, Sheree’ Whitfield and Cynthia Bailey (joined by her hubby Peter Thomas), Mayor Kasim Reed, Ryan Glover, producer DrummaBoy, Andrea Kelly (Celebrity Choreographer & ex-wife of R-uh), Dionne Farris (Singer / Songwriter) and more.

    New Doo Alert! Lisa Wu-Hartwell Goes Blonde?

    Nov, 12 2010 | Written by ATLien

    I don’t think this look is permanent though… let’s just hope Kim Zolciak doesn’t miss her wig!

    Lisa Wu-Hartwell was given the boot from The Real Housewives of Atlanta after she refused to “create” drama for the show but she’s still on her grind and still around Atlanta.

    Lisa hosted a screening of the upcoming Disney animated 3D film “Tangled” in Atlanta last night. The movie is based on the Rapunzel fairy tale so Lisa and guests donned long blonde “Rapunzel” wigs for fun.

    Oct, 5 2010 | Written by ATLien

    The highly anticipated Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta premiered last night (Oct 4th) and the “housewives” threw two separated events to celebrate the occasion.

    Kandi Burruss, along with new “housewives” Cynthia Bailey & Phaedra Parks participated in the festivities over at Justin’s while Kim Zolciak hosted her own bash at Twist.

    Noticeably absent were NeNe Leakes (and her new nose)…. oh… and Sheree Whitfield. The two obviously chose to party elsewhere. Perhaps they’re still in New York after appearing on The Wendy Williams Show yesterday. [If you missed it, CLICK HERE to watch]

        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?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
