- 1:09Speaker 2: did an interview, excuse me, with Peter Thomas recently.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Check it on my YouTube channel if you haven't seen it.
- 1:18Speaker 1: And there's a clip that has gone viral because Peter
- 1:21Speaker 1: Thomas says, that he did ask Cynthia Bailey to buy
- 1:27Speaker 1: his townhouses, I'm sorry, his townhouse, before serving time for
- 1:33Speaker 1: his IRS troubles, but claims Cynthia backed out at the
- 1:38Speaker 1: last minute.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Peter says, I lost my house.
- 1:42Speaker 1: I want to play the clip for you guys to
- 1:46Speaker 1: see this.
- 1:47Speaker 2: And Claudia.
- 1:50Speaker 3: I watched the whole interview, the clips, sent them to
- 1:53Speaker 3: my friend.
- 1:53Speaker 1: I was going to say, I think Claudia actually left
- 1:55Speaker 1: a comment on the pills, but let's.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Claudia is so messy. She's actually supposed to forgive herself. Okay,
- 2:04Speaker 2: so let's look at this clip together. Oh, yeah. And
- 2:07Speaker 2: then we will take it from there.
- 2:13Speaker 4: You know, I wanted to secure it because I'm going away.
- 2:17Speaker 4: And I said, if I go away for a year,
- 2:19Speaker 4: at least a year, 14, 15 months, I want to.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Come back to my home.
- 2:24Speaker 4: All right. So I needed to make a payment. Okay.
- 2:28Speaker 3: To just pay it off. Okay.
- 2:32Speaker 4: So I said, Cynthia, you know, I need you to
- 2:34Speaker 4: write this check. A matter of fact, Cynthia, I need
- 2:36Speaker 4: you to buy this.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Townhouse from me.
- 2:39Speaker 2: All right.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Under your company name.
- 2:42Speaker 5: Okay.
- 2:42Speaker 4: I'm gone.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Okay.
- 2:44Speaker 4: Okay.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Could rent it out, Airbnb.
- 2:46Speaker 2: It, whatever.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Because I have $ 350, 000 in equity into this place.
- 2:51Speaker 3: Okay?
- 2:51Speaker 4: I don't want to lose that money. Okay? All right?
- 2:54Speaker 4: And if you can't Airbnb it or for whatever reason,
- 2:57Speaker 4: you could sell it. It's under your company name.
- 3:00Speaker 3: Okay?
- 3:01Speaker 4: But at least I know there's a chance of me
- 3:03Speaker 4: having my home when I get back out. And we
- 3:07Speaker 4: met at a restaurant in Duluth. And she agreed, and
- 3:15Speaker 4: I talked to my banker, which I introduced her to,
- 3:19Speaker 4: which is now her banker, okay? And I involved my friend,
- 3:25Speaker 4: Sunita Brooks, in it because she was talking to Cynthia
- 3:28Speaker 4: more than I was talking to her. I wasn't trying
- 3:30Speaker 4: to talk to Cynthia every day. So I had Sunita
- 3:33Speaker 4: in the mix talking to her to make sure it
- 3:34Speaker 4: would go down. And like 10 days before the process folded,
- 3:42Speaker 4: I called Cynthia. or on the ninth day and said, hey, look,
- 3:46Speaker 4: I've been texting you for you to engage with people
- 3:52Speaker 4: that we could do the purchase. And I don't know
- 3:55Speaker 4: what happened within her saying yes in that 10 days,
- 4:00Speaker 4: but I sent her a text and her reply was,
- 4:05Speaker 4: I feel like I'm being pressured. I feel like I'm
- 4:07Speaker 4: being bullied.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Okay.
- 4:09Speaker 4: And I'm like, what? First of all, we had a
- 4:13Speaker 4: great lunch, okay?
- 4:15Speaker 2: I thought everything was good.
- 4:17Speaker 4: I'm the guy who left the wedding not taken.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Who would like to go first?
- 4:31Speaker 3: No, you fucking lying. No, you had a great lunch.
- 4:35Speaker 3: You had a great lunch and you tried to pressure
- 4:38Speaker 3: Cynthia First of all, the way he even talked about this,
- 4:41Speaker 3: and Peter, we love you. We want you to win.
- 4:43Speaker 3: We really do. I know you're going to get mad
- 4:44Speaker 3: and go talk to my fucking ops and whatever, and
- 4:47Speaker 3: we ain't shit. I don't care. Cynthia, anyone you tell
- 4:52Speaker 3: me to put on the spot by someone you were
- 4:53Speaker 3: in love with or you love, it's hard to say
- 4:55Speaker 3: no to them in their face. So you might just
- 4:57Speaker 3: say it in their nerve, okay, and then go home
- 4:59Speaker 3: and think about it or talk about it with your
- 5:01Speaker 3: new boyfriend or husband.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Or husband.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Right? You go back and you talk to your... Girl,
- 5:07Speaker 3: what you mean... Why don't you have your new girlfriend
- 5:11Speaker 3: help you? Or you could have sold it. Because I
- 5:13Speaker 3: do understand having $ 350, 000 in equity. You don't want to
- 5:16Speaker 3: lose that. But sell it. You rent it. Or you
- 5:18Speaker 3: have your girlfriend that you're currently with. Cynthia has y'all
- 5:21Speaker 3: been divorced. She got married to someone else, divorced, and
- 5:23Speaker 3: is in another relationship. And you're saying it's her fault
- 5:27Speaker 3: that you lost your condo because you're going to jail
- 5:30Speaker 3: for your actions. It's Cynthia's fault. I know you're fucking lying.
- 5:35Speaker 2: No.
- 5:36Speaker 1: No.
- 5:36Speaker 3: That is not. And I can't believe. He put that
- 5:39Speaker 3: on Cynthia. And I'm glad, Carlos, you pushed back in
- 5:41Speaker 3: that interview on it because you should have. And Peter,
- 5:44Speaker 3: I know you want to get credit for doing the
- 5:47Speaker 3: right thing. Like, well, I didn't take half our money
- 5:49Speaker 3: in the divorce like I could have. She also didn't
- 5:52Speaker 3: have to give you this much money for when you
- 5:57Speaker 3: was on the show. Because the show doesn't pay y'all.
- 6:00Speaker 3: And Cynthia, she was very fair from what I know
- 6:04Speaker 3: or what I've heard.
- 6:05Speaker 2: No, she's been hoping about it. She's been hoping about it,
- 6:07Speaker 2: so we can say it.
- 6:09Speaker 3: All right, wasn't it like $ 300, 000 he got?
- 6:11Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 6:11Speaker 3: So he got the equity from the goddamn house.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Per season.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Per season. Blaming Cynthia is crazy work. You have to
- 6:20Speaker 3: take accountability for your actions, Peter. You were wrong for
- 6:24Speaker 3: even putting her on the spot like that, to pressure
- 6:27Speaker 3: her to even have to tell you yes or no
- 6:29Speaker 3: like that, and then be like, of course she was uncomfortable.
- 6:32Speaker 3: That wasn't cute. She never slams him. She never drags him.
- 6:37Speaker 3: It's always, she's getting talked about.
- 6:39Speaker 2: No.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Be mad.
- 6:41Speaker 3: I don't care.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Mandy?
- 6:44Speaker 5: To me, it's the audacity for me. And it's peak
- 6:47Speaker 5: narcissism that's showing here. You were about to lose your
- 6:51Speaker 5: home because you were going to jail. There's the period.
- 6:56Speaker 5: So to bring in your ex-wife not wanting to get
- 6:59Speaker 5: you out of a bind... It's just like, sir, what
- 7:02Speaker 5: are we talking about? What's also crazy, and Claudia, I
- 7:04Speaker 5: wanted to even pinpoint that. When he was up in
- 7:08Speaker 5: Charlotte with the new restaurant and there were all these
- 7:11Speaker 5: even rumors about him sleeping with the alleged employees, even
- 7:16Speaker 5: Cynthia never came out, like Claudia said, and bashed him
- 7:20Speaker 5: for the demise of their marriage. So for him to
- 7:24Speaker 5: even be like, we just did the podcast.
- 7:25Speaker 1: We had lunch.
- 7:26Speaker 5: For him to still have not gotten that backlash from her,
- 7:30Speaker 5: for him to sit up in front of you and
- 7:32Speaker 5: even make it seem like it was her fault is
- 7:35Speaker 5: just like, oh, babe.
- 7:37Speaker 3: And he said in the interview, I don't want to
- 7:39Speaker 3: talk to Cynthia every day. Oh, you don't want to
- 7:41Speaker 3: talk to me every day, but you want my money.
- 7:43Speaker 5: But you wanted my money to get you out of
- 7:45Speaker 5: a bind.
- 7:46Speaker 3: That was crazy to me.
- 7:47Speaker 6: Okay, so here's the thing. Number one, Cynthia don't owe
- 7:50Speaker 6: Peter shit. Full stop right there. Peter is Cynthia's ex-husband
- 7:54Speaker 6: twice removed. Okay, and so she's not even thinking about this.
- 7:58Speaker 6: Second of all, it is very audacious. It is very
- 8:01Speaker 6: hardy and arrogant to assume that she is obligated to
- 8:06Speaker 6: make a real estate purchase to offer you security upon
- 8:10Speaker 6: your release. And when you list out the options that
- 8:14Speaker 6: she had, you can rent it out, you can Airbnb,
- 8:16Speaker 6: you can even sell it. I don't care, I just
- 8:17Speaker 6: need you to buy it. You could have done all
- 8:19Speaker 6: those same things as well. The same way you told
- 8:22Speaker 6: that girl, where the interview location was and to ride
- 8:25Speaker 6: with you and sit on your lap and do an
- 8:26Speaker 6: interview and talk to Carlos, you could have had her
- 8:29Speaker 6: young ass managing that. She's young and able. She seems,
- 8:33Speaker 6: you know, has a sharp mind. So she should have
- 8:36Speaker 6: been able to run them spreadsheets and have a schedule
- 8:39Speaker 6: and run your property, your manager businesses. That's not Cynthia's,
- 8:42Speaker 6: or excuse me, Cynthia. It's not Cynthia's responsibility. You know
- 8:46Speaker 6: what I'm saying? It's not Cynthia's responsibility to do anything
- 8:50Speaker 6: for Peter Thomas or When I met Peter and was
- 8:53Speaker 6: around Peter, Peter was a great time, good energy, and
- 8:56Speaker 6: he was doting and loving towards Cynthia. But post-divorce, Peter
- 9:01Speaker 6: has shown himself to consistently overshare about their financial business.
- 9:05Speaker 6: We didn't know Cynthia was giving him a percentage of
- 9:09Speaker 6: her salary for all of those years until he shared that.
- 9:13Speaker 6: We didn't know anything about the lawsuit or whatever the fuck.
- 9:16Speaker 6: Peter introduced all that information that Cynthia has now had
- 9:20Speaker 6: to say, hey, guys... I love him.
- 9:22Speaker 1: We're fine.
- 9:22Speaker 3: It's okay.
- 9:23Speaker 6: He's always speaking negatively about her in the press and
- 9:27Speaker 6: in a roundabout way. He won't say she ain't shit,
- 9:30Speaker 6: but he'll try to paint her with a brush to
- 9:33Speaker 6: appear as that way. And it's not fair. Peter needs
- 9:36Speaker 6: to stop. He needs to let go of his connection
- 9:39Speaker 6: to Cynthia. She's let go of hers to him. That
- 9:43Speaker 6: is simply who he used to be married with. He
- 9:46Speaker 6: says he has, and bringing up investors and all this shit,
- 9:49Speaker 6: when y'all were talking about the restitution that he owed,
- 9:53Speaker 6: where are all those investors to buy that property then?
- 9:56Speaker 6: Why didn't you ask one of them motherfuckers instead of
- 9:58Speaker 6: hitching your wagon to Cynthia only to get out of
- 10:01Speaker 6: jail and then talk about her like a dog that's
- 10:03Speaker 6: not fair and I don't like that Cynthia don't bother
- 10:06Speaker 6: nobody okay and she mind her motherfucking business and you
- 10:09Speaker 6: ought to be glad that she even sat down with
- 10:11Speaker 6: your ass and had lunch and even discussed making a
- 10:14Speaker 6: real estate purchase like that I don't like her being
- 10:18Speaker 6: painted as this bad person with bad intentions when she
- 10:21Speaker 6: was willing to even sit down with his ass in
- 10:22Speaker 6: the first place.
- 10:23Speaker 3: He said he could make $ 2 million back in the year,
- 10:25Speaker 3: didn't he? 2.5.
- 10:27Speaker 6: Stop oversharing about financial matters that involve Cynthia.
- 10:31Speaker 3: And on top of that, to piggyback off of what
- 10:34Speaker 3: my friend just eloquently just said, When they broke up,
- 10:41Speaker 3: when they were in a bad place, when she was
- 10:43Speaker 3: like her and Nene were not in a good place,
- 10:45Speaker 3: went right over there with the ops at the time.
- 10:47Speaker 3: It was buddy, buddy. And I do not think that
- 10:48Speaker 3: was cute at all. So when we're in a bad place,
- 10:52Speaker 3: and they're in a good place now, Nene and Cynthia,
- 10:53Speaker 3: but there was a time when they were not in
- 10:55Speaker 3: a good place, and he was gladly posting little shady
- 10:58Speaker 3: little videos and stuff. He was doing that. I remember that.
- 11:01Speaker 6: I like that.
- 11:01Speaker 3: That wasn't cute at all. So don't pick and choose
- 11:05Speaker 3: when there's supposed to be some kind of loyalty and
- 11:06Speaker 3: code amongst us if you're not always playing by those rules.
- 11:09Speaker 3: You don't get to, and then I'm a bad person
- 11:11Speaker 3: when I push back. No, she's standing her ground and
- 11:14Speaker 3: putting up boundaries.
- 11:15Speaker 6: And I love Cynthia, and I'm always going to be
- 11:17Speaker 6: on her side. I don't give a fuck what happens.
- 11:19Speaker 3: So let's just be clear.
- 11:22Speaker 1: So the thing is, the reason why I wanted to
- 11:26Speaker 1: bring it up to him is because right before he turned,
- 11:29Speaker 1: not turned himself in, right before he went to prison,
- 11:31Speaker 1: excuse me, he did make that comment.
- 11:33Speaker 2: And I just remember being.
- 11:34Speaker 1: Like, I just saw you guys have a on-camera conversation
- 11:40Speaker 1: where she was a guest on your podcast. And listen,
- 11:43Speaker 1: we all know Cynthia. I'm not sure you ever met her.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Cynthia is one of the sweetest women I've ever met.
- 11:50Speaker 1: She really has a sweet soul. And because I know
- 11:54Speaker 1: that Peter listens to me sometimes, I wanted him to
- 11:59Speaker 1: know and the world to know that I didn't like
- 12:02Speaker 1: it and that Cynthia, and I said this to him,
- 12:05Speaker 1: she did not deserve it. That's one woman that I'm like,
- 12:10Speaker 1: even on the show, and I remember when I came
- 12:11Speaker 1: back season eight, and Atlanta Housewives.
- 12:17Speaker 2: And this is when they were going through the divorce.
- 12:19Speaker 1: And I will never forget when I came back, she
- 12:21Speaker 1: took me aside and she said, if you expect me
- 12:25Speaker 1: to bash Peter, I'm never doing it. Like she literally
- 12:29Speaker 1: took me aside and said, you're back on the show.
- 12:31Speaker 1: I'm telling your black ass, because that's awesome to talk to,
- 12:34Speaker 1: I love her.
- 12:35Speaker 2: She said, I'm never doing it.
- 12:36Speaker 1: And I said, I don't want you to do anything
- 12:38Speaker 1: you don't want to do. But what I do think
- 12:40Speaker 1: the audience needs to know, because we saw you get married,
- 12:43Speaker 1: What led you to this? And her response to her
- 12:46Speaker 1: sister Mallory in the kitchen, she broke down in tears.
- 12:50Speaker 1: And it was the first time that season where she
- 12:51Speaker 1: gave the answer in terms of why she did it.
- 12:55Speaker 1: But even in her response during tears, she gave him grace.
- 13:01Speaker 1: And in the interview, I said to him, like, my
- 13:03Speaker 1: hope is that after this interview, you just don't talk
- 13:07Speaker 1: about her no more. Don't bash her. I don't care
- 13:10Speaker 1: to know anything that I don't know.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Look, I'm nosy. I ain't that nosy.
- 13:14Speaker 1: And I just don't think, listen, of all people on
- 13:17Speaker 1: that show, I would go on record saying Cynthia is
- 13:20Speaker 1: the number one person who doesn't deserve any one shade.
- 13:24Speaker 6: I agree.
- 13:26Speaker 2: That's one person that.
- 13:27Speaker 1: In real life, she has never bashed her co-stars, the network,
- 13:34Speaker 1: or Peter. Nope.
- 13:36Speaker 6: That's not even her style.
- 13:38Speaker 3: And he likes to say about how he helped us
- 13:39Speaker 3: so much with her Atlanta Housewives experience. Okay, you can
- 13:42Speaker 3: make an argument for that. But let's not act like
- 13:44Speaker 3: she didn't elevate his profile as well. I mean, his
- 13:47Speaker 3: name on Instagram is Peter Thomas, R-H-O-A. You know what
- 13:51Speaker 3: I'm saying? I mean, that's.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Funny.
- 13:57Speaker 3: I'm saying, it was mutually beneficial to both of them.
- 14:01Speaker 2: For sure it was.
- 14:02Speaker 6: We love you, Cynthia.
- 14:03Speaker 3: We lift you up.
- 14:05Speaker 2: We love you, Cynthia. Always.
- 14:06Speaker 1: And Cynthia is in Sydney, Australia, representing B.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Handling hers.
- 14:12Speaker 1: She ain't even.
- 14:14Speaker 3: She working.
- 14:14Speaker 1: I talked to her the other day.
- 14:16Speaker 3: She chilling. I texted her after that interview. I had
- 14:19Speaker 3: my little comment. I said, girl.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Girl.
- 14:22Speaker 3: I love her so much.
- 14:23Speaker 6: Cynthia is genuinely a nice person. Like, for real, for real.
- 14:26Speaker 2: She don't deserve that shit.
- 14:29Speaker 1: All right.
- 14:29Speaker 2: So listen, Raindrops, let us know in the comments your thoughts.
- 14:32Speaker 6: We love you, Cynthia Bailey.
