Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Peter Thomas took to Instagram on Wednesday to deny claims made by Real Housewives of Potomac star Mia Thornton that he had an affair with Wendy Osefo.

He captioned the clip, “With all the shit I’m going through then you see this ******** @bravoandy @bravotv stop using me for your rating check the facts before they air these episodes.” .’
In the clip, Peter described the setting and said the chain took liberties with the footage they filmed at his Bar One outlet.
“Mia is doing it with Wendy and Bravo, this is kind of your fault, because I recorded with you for five minutes promoting Bar One Baltimore and Bar One Miami Beach, and you turned those five minutes into nine episodes, and now my name is being released on the reunion show when in real life, I don’t mess with any of those women,” he said.
The Latest: Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Peter Thomas, 62, took to Instagram Wednesday to deny claims made by Real Housewives of Potomac star Mia Thornton, 38, that he had an affair with Wendy Osefo.
He said that he filmed scenes with Osefo once for five minutes and never went out to dinner with her.
“I didn’t have any late-night snacks with her,” he said. She is a married woman, very respectful, very honorable. For Mia, that you’re talking about Wendy and I meeting is disrespectful, it’s so thirsty, it’s thirsty that you do that just to cash Bravo’s check.
Thomas continued: ‘There’s nothing good about that. You can’t use my name like that, because if you use my name like that, my lawyer will contact you, and he’s going to be very ugly because I don’t know any of those women. , I have never seen them outside my establishment.’
He said the streaming backlash was affecting his business for the worse.
“You guys can’t just recklessly throw people’s names around like that because it actually hurt my business,” he said. And that is irresponsible. Please cease and desist.
In the reunion special, Thornton was responding to an incident where he threw a drink in Osefo’s face and said that Osefo’s true anger was rooted in the problem involving Thomas, which Osefo denied.
‘Do you want to talk about the real story of how you fucked Peter and that’s why you’re upset?’ Thornton said. ‘Do you want to talk about that? I have my little receipt that you gave the cookie to Peter, so you have a restaurant in Bar One?
‘Do you want to talk about that? She had dinner with him before filming, and they had a whole entrance, and I heard all about it, it was after hours, at Bar One. I saw the cameras.

Gordon said that Thomas, who he thought was his friend, was close to him and his family through a series of events, despite estranged from them now.
“I wonder if he didn’t know us as well as the times he’d been at our house,” Gordon said.
He added that they had spent time together playing cards, socializing with friends and family, and going boating.
Gordon noted that he and his family had dined at Thomas’ restaurant many times and that he once asked him for a $60,000 loan to help him with the business.
“I don’t know why Peter says he doesn’t know us like that, maybe that’s his definition of not knowing us like that,” he said.
Gordon said a mutual contact told him the publicity was helping Peter’s business and there wasn’t enough time to determine the impact, as the allegations came to light only a few days ago.
“Peter, I guess we don’t know you like that,” he said.
