"I can't stand Phaedra's ass. I think Kim is crazy as f*ck. Nene has a big-ass mouth. And Sheree's not cute! She thinks she's cute, but she's not cute. And this is on the record. The only one I like is Kandi, and she's too soft. That's why she got played with Kim. And that's how I truly feel."

He is entitled to his opinion however, I don't think Cynthia should have married a controlling, jealous man. She is the one feel sorry for.

You mean CONTROLLING, MEAN, JEALOUS, BROKE and PRETENTIOUS sis. Why do sistas go for BUMZ like this dude? I think the women on the show are a little out there but this guy should have nothing to say about anyone especially since a WOMAN TAKES CARE OF HIM.

I'm assuming that the show Housewives of Atlanta must be over for peter to make such a strong statement, and if not the next season is going to be pure fire. I cannot wait to see peter interact with the rest of the cast after making these comments.

For his sake, I hope he made those comments because of how he saw how those other women talked about his wife behind her back. If that is not the case, he is looking like a catty little (bleeep). Can't wait for the reunion show.

Shut up Peter!!!..He's right, but he needs to shut his broke ass up. He sound like a woman. Instead of talking about those women, he needs to get his ish together. I hope Cynthia don't marry him. Hope she don't show up, but if she does marry him, she needs a pre-nup. And he needs to give her back her money. At least acknowledge that she did contribute to the business. Cynthia needs to get a backbone too, I'm bout sick of her. So shut up Peter and get your business straight!!!

I believe that Cynthia followed her heart and things will get better since they have a plan for success. Peter it would have been better explained if you’re stated that the housewives are really disturbed.
NeNe reminds me of my sister wants the world but is very ghetto she has great potential but don’t know how to except her mistakes and her anger get shifted to whomever hurts her feeling.
Kim is just doing the only thing she knows been a call girl forever and don’t know how to be herself.
Sheree had it all and lost it because she thought she was a glamour queen and her attitude and misconception of her is brutal.
Phaedra is not setting a good standard for lawyers and needs to project more positive Image for upcoming lawyers, lying is not the way to go she is a grown women and Kim pulled out her weakness.
Kandi is the most positive image of a women and friend on the show with a great talent.
Last but not lease what is the problem with Ne-Ne husband he seems like a very good man, Ne-ne you need to figure out what went wrong write a letter to your husband and keep his man and forgot about all the petty stuff that happen marriage is a blessing and a lesson.

Phaedra is the only person on the show that is a housewife and a mother. The women all have bastard children. I know that is somewhat of an honor today to have bastard children but the fact remains the same. These women are less of a role model than a self made woman like Phaedra.

Christal remember Phaedra ISN'T perfect either. She did get knocked up before she got married. I guess that doesn't count huh?
