"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."
-- 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' husband and entrepreneur Peter Thomas, weighing in on his wife Cynthia Bailey's cast-mates. (Uptown Magazine)

I think that Cynthia shouldn't of married this bum but hey who am I to judge what someone else feels they want to deal with in there own life. She knows how he is. Maybe she likes men like he is obviously. Anyway he did say the truth about some of those women tho lmbo!!!! This is America and he is free to speak his mind. Just like the rest of us are free to speak ours as well. Now Phaedra needs to learn how to hold that babies head she just lets her poor babies head swing all around like he is old enough to hold that head up on his own maybe he can but damn she gives that baby no neck support whats so ever. She holds it like ewww don't burp on me or spit up on me lmbo!!! But she is out there anyway so what should anyone expect. Now Kim that's my girl she is off da hook for real lmboooo!!! I like her tho she lets ya no she wears a wig and has fake boobs lmboooooooo!!!!! Her wig looks good tho. I can't stand NeNe's ugly azz tho she needs to stfu and sit her azz down some where for real!!!! The rest of them don't really say nothing interesting enough for me to even make a comment about. Now that's how I feel about it. I had no idea that Kim was prego tho by that dude she is dating wow. She is 5 months prego I didn't even no I must of missed it when she announced she was prego.

Jodi, that's why we shouldn't make comments that we really don't know the situations. The show was aired almost a year ago, at least. Kim had a boy. I don't know why some of you all thinks Kandi is weak. You all are very much wrong. Kandi don't take s??t. Did you see last year when NeNe thought she was weak. NOT! She just not one who argue. I laugh when I read someone say that all Pheadra clients was crimnals. Hell she's a Crimnal & Entertainment Lawyer. Isn't that who her clients is suppose to be. People please re-search

He took her down the aisle broke as hell!!She should not have gone through with the wedding.LOVE alone does not pay the bills and put food on the table.Now she's going to have to go make the beacon, eggs, cheese, muffins,etc only to have his ass burn it all the hell up!! Yes the others have their issues,who doesn't,at least the MEN in their lives are bringing worth to the table.Those that are single are handling their own. Shut up Peter.. you can't say sh** about anyone!!! SMDH!!

Peter, Peter, broke behind Peter. Had a club and could not keep it. You and NeNe's son need to hook up and go job hunting. Peter you have always been suspect to me since you appeared on the show. You need to man up and handle your business like a true man is suppose to do. Peter you know a true jamaican women would not take that crap from you.
