‘RHOA’ star Peter Thomas arrested in Miami on a warrant from Louisiana for writing fraudulent checks
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” ex-husband Peter Thomas has been arrested at Miami International Airport.
The reality star, 58, who was married to Bravo star Cynthia Bailey for seven years, was taken into custody Friday on a warrant from Louisiana for writing fraudulent checks, according to TMZ.
He was taken into custody after landing in Miami and is being held without bond.
Last we reported of Thomas, he had started shooting a reality series centered on managing his Charlotte, North Carolina, hot spot — Club One — in 2017.
This weekend, he was reportedly heading to Miami for a different nightclub opening, according to local news outlet WPLG.
“RHOA” captured Thomas and Bailey’s wedding as well as marital struggles that ultimately led to their split on camera.
Reps for both the Miami Dade Police Department and Bailey did not immediately respond to our requests for comment.
New model Phaedra Parks isn’t afraid to get naked on camera
As a staple on the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” for seven seasons, Wilhelmina Models’ new client Phaedra Parks has no problem stripping down for the cameras.
“I don’t mind baring it all — I have been wearing g-strings and baring it all really every season for seven years,” the former Bravo star told Us Weekly. “I had two children on national TV. I love nudity!”
Noting that she loves her body and curves, Parks said, “I’m a mother of two children, so I’m not perfect, but I have no problem getting naked.”
Adding model to her already lengthy resume — which includes lawyer and mortician — the 44-year-old is ready to channel her inner Naomi Campbell.
“I think I’m the face of ‘yes you can,’” Parks said. “I’m a small town girl who has followed her dreams. Yes you can be a mom, yes you can be a lawyer and yes you can be a model. When the opportunity presented itself some people asked me ‘Why?’ and I said ‘Why not?’”
Amid personal turmoil — particularly her highly publicized divorce from husband Apollo Nida, who is serving an eight-year sentence after pleading guilty to federal fraud charges in 2014 — Parks is rewriting her own story, with a revenge body to boot.

“I feel like I turned into Benjamin Button and started aging backwards, I started being happy,” she said.
With the holidays fast approaching, Parks is also preparing for an influx of business in funeral arrangements.
“Being a mortician is a passion of mine and everything I’m passionate about I just dive right in. This is our peak season actually, the peak season from deaths is from Halloween to around Valentine’s Day, so we’re very busy — people are going to glory pretty regularly. I’m directing a few funerals this weekend,” Parks said. “I know it’s morbid, but I love being the final party planner.”
NeNe Leakes Cries As Husband Gregg Is Hospitalized For Heart Problems: ‘I Can’t Do This’
NeNe Leakes ended Sunday’s Real Housewives of Atlanta in tears — and it had nothing to do with any drama among the women.
The 49-year-old reality star found herself in a rare vulnerable moment when her husband, Gregg Leakes, landed in the hospital for a “dangerously low” heart rate, his doctors taking him for a minor surgery test to see if he had a blockage.
“I heard his voice on the phone and I knew that he was afraid,” NeNe said as she raced to be by Gregg’s side. “Like, ‘If this is the last time that I’m going to see anybody, I need to see my wife.’ … Everything was just kind of going really left.”
“Oh my God, what if Gregg doesn’t come home?” she wondered, tearing up. “What will they find? Is this something that Gregg’s not telling me? I can’t even imaging Gregg not walking on this earth. I can’t do this. Gregg has to get better.”
Earlier in the episode, Gregg had complained about his health, saying he was experiencing chest pains, numbness and felt like he was “going to pass out.”
The feeling didn’t go away, and eventually, Gregg asked to be admitted to the hospital for monitoring. “For the last couple days he’s been like, ‘I just don’t feel good. I just don’t feel good.’ But this time he was crying in tears,” NeNe told fellow Housewife Cynthia Bailey. “I was like, ‘Okay, you want to go to the doctor or do you want to go to the hospital?’ And he was like, ‘I want to go to the hospital.’ ”
“His dad had heart issues, and Gregg’s always had it in his head that he’s going to have heart issues,” she added.
Though NeNe told Bailey, “I think he’ll be fine,” the former supermodel was convinced NeNe was failing to see the problem in front of her.
“I’ve known NeNe for like eight years now. I know she is very concerned, but I also can see that she’s in denial,” Bailey confessed. “I don’t think she’s fully grasped how serious any type of heart situation could potentially be. I think NeNe is dealing with the situation with Gregg the best way she knows how to. She’s not the girl that handles any kind of sickness situation well.”
NeNe did let her guard down when the two talked again later, a day after Gregg had entered the hospital.
“[He’s] elevating his feet and all this stuff, trying to keep his heart rate where it needs to be,” she said, explaining that Gregg was still suffering from dizziness from time to time. “Last night I didn’t sleep good because normally it’s me who’s gone. Normally Greg is here, so I didn’t sleep good knowing he is gone.”
It’s no wonder she feels that way. NeNe and Gregg have been married for 18 years and together even longer — though, as RHOA fans remember, they briefly divorced in 2011 and remarried 2 years later (as seen on NeNe’s spin-off series, I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding). The couple have one son together, Brentt, 18.
“I’ve been with Gregg since I was in my 20s,” NeNe said on the episode. “The only secret I can tell you a relationship is finding a way to still love each other and be attracted to one another. Without Gregg, what would I do. Who is going to cut the grass? Who is the poll person? Who do we pay our lights and gas to?”
While the episode ended in a cliffhanger, all appears to be well with Gregg now. He recently stood by his wife’s side on Halloween, dressing up as a cockroach to her pest control operator.
Kim Zolciak’s son undergoes surgery after dog attack
Kim Zolciak’s 4-year-old son, Kash Biermann, was attacked by a dog on Saturday.
“I don’t know where to start,” the reality star shared in a lengthy Instagram note posted Sunday afternoon. “The last 14hrs of our lives has been a living nightmare.”
“My sweet @kashbiermann was bit by a dog and had very traumatic injuries,” the star explained. “I’ve never prayed so hard, or been so scared in my life. My husband, our daughters, Kj, Tracey, his nanny, Michael Beck and everyone close to us all pulled together and held each other up.”
Zolciak, 38, says Kash underwent a long surgery and the family is now praying for a speedy recovery. She also posted a snap of Kash resting in a hospital bed covered with an animal-print blanket while his father, Kroy Biermann, holds his hand and strokes his head.
Because of the circumstances, the former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” fixture will not attend Sunday night’s taping of “Watch What Happens Live” in New York City.
“Will do my best to make it up very soon! Thank you for all your prayers and most importantly thank you God for your protection,” she added. “A very special thank you to my incredible medical team! A few days in the hospital and we will be back home.”
It’s unclear what type of dog attacked Kash or where the incident took place.
A request for comment from Zolciak’s team wasn’t immediately returned.
