"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."

Cyndy LOL!!! I thought the same thing. I never notice Peter's teeth but I did NeNe. Believe it or not. She has all of her teeth. One time she laugh and I seem them. They are smaller that the front ones. But they are there no lie! But it's funny I was saying the same exact thing.
Also people again you all need to re-search before you all make comments.. Peter and Cynthia is doing very well. It amaze me to see everyone say that their marriage will not last. Again we're only seeing an hour show that shares about 10 minute a week of all their lives. Plus this show was air last year. Peter has open up another club along with the one he close with is up and running and doing well. I'm a faithful Housewives of Atlanta watcher. I'm always browering what up on them regularly.

Although Peter isn't lying, I believe he shouldn't have made those statements. It puts Cynthia in a awkward position. I didn't like Phaedra in the beginning because of the statements and the things she did, but she has grown on me, she seems like a nice person. But @Chrystal Phaedra would have had a "bastard" child if she wouldn't have had the "shotgun wedding" that she tried to hide from everybody. what's done in the dark will come to light sooner or later.

Yes, I do feel sorry for Cynthia. She deserves so much better. Cynthia gets a long with most all the women and the one's she doesn't care for she is civil to and now this man has opened his mouth, when he should have just kept his opinions to himself. He is trying to get some 15 minutes of fame through her and he is not doing it in a nice way. Why can't be just be more like Appolo. Go out, be a hard working man and supportive husband and leave womens issues to them. I didn't care for him much, but I reserved judgement, but now he is coming out talking crap when he should keep his negative mouth shut. He's not a housewife of Atlanta and he needs to get in his place. All I can say about next season (if there is one) that Peter has made thing harder for Cynthia. A man should be supportive and make things easier for a woman. I am sorry to say, and wish no bad on Cynthia, but it seems to me this was not a good marriage going in.

He MUST be good in bed, because he looks like the model for Uncle Ben's Rice. Actually Uncle Ben looks better than him. He's too controlling and Cynthia is too submissive. Eventually she will tire of him and fight back. If there is a new season of HOA, he shouldn't be in it,and if that means Cynthia can't be in it, so be it. Did I mention that he looks like a weather-beaten roach?

I think peter is right to a point Phaedra is just a ghetto country bumpkin trying to be something that she's not. I can't stand her ass. Nene is just a tell it like it is person but sometimes she needs to bring it down a little bit. Khandi is the girl. I think her and cynthia are the two most classiest ladies on the show.

I don't care for Peter! However, with that said, he has a right to say what he wants. I don't care for Phaedra either. How did SHE pass the bar exam? Kim may be "crazy" but I like her. I like the fact that she stands up to NeNe, an obvious BULLY. Not only does NeNe have a big mouth she, out of all the housewives, is so so GHETTO --- loud rude crude and just plan simple. I agree that Kandi is the most likeable. I don't necessarily think she is soft as nonconfrontational (is that a word?). It does appear that she did not handle her busy with Kim with respect to writing and producing Kim's songs, as well as launching Kim's career. Other than that I like Kandi the most. One other point. I don't think Kandi is a great singer either, however, after reading Jet, I see how she made her money --- mostly writing songs for others. The one that is way too soft is Cynthia, his wife! She appears to be very passive. Furthermore, I would have NEVER loan Peter any amount of money. But we all learn with time, at least some of us. I truely have. Oh, he is so right about Sheree. Sheree does not have a good sense of herself. Did you see the Andy show with Regina and Jackee, they both "cracked" up when they learned that Sheree felt that one day she would win an Oscar. LOL. However, one she have a good sense of one's self, cuz if you don't who will.
