Going broke must be a prerequisite to joining the Real Housewives franchise.
From Straight from the A blog,
Cynthia Bailey married entrepreneur Peter Thomas last weekend in a ceremony that was taped for the show. Thomas is/was owner of Atlanta’s Uptown Restaurant and Lounge.
Word on the street is that the location is now closed due to some unpaid expenses and there is a lien on the building in excess of $25,000. I’ve also heard that there were many employees that showed up for work a few days ago who were totally caught off guard by the closing.
This current state of affairs is not surprising at all, being that Bravo intentionally chooses their “housewives” based on drama factor. We’ve all been trying to figure out what Bailey’s spin will be on the show and if this restaurant closing is any indication, I’m sure we’ll be seeing some Fox-5 type investigations on her new hubby, like they did NeNe’s.
