That dumb as Jamaican is just pissed because Phadrea, or none of the other ladies need find his lil short ugly ass attractive. Even Regina King indirectly said that he was a hard person to deal with. I really feel for Cynthia because she's never going to get her money back and she is living with an arrogrant, self absorded a**wipe.

I believe Peter Thomas is entitled to his opionion just like we all are. I applaud his honesty and that he is man enough to stand by his comments. The reason P. Thomas dislikes Phaedra is because she put his philandering and the fact that he irresponsibly fathered 5 children by multiple women on blast. What's wrong with Phaedra stating that she would not become involved with a man who brings with him the kind of drama, baggage and chaos that P. Thomas has. Phaedra's statement indicates she is a conscious and analytical thinking woman. Now, I would not have made some of the statements that Phaedra has made because some of her statements are a bit crude, but by no means is she "dumb". There is no way Phaedra could make it through 3 to 4 years of law school, pass a State Bar Exam, have a successful law practice and purchase a home in an upscale section of Atlanta all on her own, and be "dumb". Phaedra has it "going on". Let's not hate on her.
Sheree cannot act; and I hope her oldest daughter's boyfriend marries her and not just live with her. I hope Khandi blows up on the music scene and finds a long term romantic love. I agree with P. Thomas - NeNe does in fact have a "big" mouth; and NeNe crossed boundaries when she evaded Kim's personal space and attempted to physically abuse her. I think Cynthia could have done better in terms of the man she choose to marry. I do not think her husband will return the money he borrowed from her. I think he's going to keep her broke. And, she may not be able to make the money that she lost back because her husband is chauvinistic and insecure. Due to P. Thomas' insecurity, Cynthia will be compelled to stay at home and stroke her husband's ego instead of going outside of the home to make money for the family. I hope however, they will be able to make their marriage work. This couple will definitely need some counseling.

I agree Cynthia. Like someone else said, he's just an ugly little Jamaican trying to live the American dream on the back of a sistah. Be gone smurf!

Why should he hate Phaedra...the only woman self made woman on the show WITH A JOB she got by herself. Its a shame when the truth hurts...
I don't see how desperate a woman must be to get with a man with 5 bastard children from several women....I loved Phaedra for making the comment of not putting herself in that situation...I have been saying it myself for a long time.
Then he glosses over the fact Cynthia bailed his broke as out to keep the night club open. Then tells her that he is not going to honest with her about his affairs. The person he needs to hate is himself for being another fake bro...
