In the Season 8 premiere episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta , Peter Thomas found himself in the hot seat. In the premiere episode, which aired Sunday night, his wife Cynthia Bailey confronted him about a video that surfaced that seemingly showed him kissing and touching another woman inappropriately while at his business Sports One Charlotte. As the episode aired, Peter maintained that he’s innocent of any cheating.
In one tweet, Peter admitted that while he sweated and looked guilty as Cynthia confronted him about the video, his interaction with the woman was innocent .
They got me out here sweating and looking guilty as f*ck! But it really wasn’t that type of situation. #RHOA

He then tweeted that he only has the hots for Cynthia .

Peter also responded to the scene in which Cynthia and her sister, Malorie Massie, talked about his physical attractiveness.

Peter then posted a tweet that made clear that he feels lucky to have Cynthia , whom he pointed out looks a lot better than women much younger than her.
My wife is hot and looks better than a lot of women in their 20s and 30s. I’m a lucky lucky man. @CynthiaBailey10

At the beginning of the scene showing Cynthia Bailey confronting Peter Thomas about the video, Peter remarks to Cynthia that it looks as if she’s about to bury somebody. She smartly replies that whether she’ll be doing that is still to be determined. She then plays the video, which was aired for viewers to see, and tells Peter that it looks he’s kissing another woman. Peter defends himself by saying that he saw the video, but doesn’t think that it’s a big deal. Peter says that he knows the woman since she frequents his bar all the time. He then demonstrates his version of what happened, saying that he went over to talk to her and just leaned over her face.
Cynthia quickly replies that Peter’s account is not true. She says that Peter grabbed the woman’s neck and then his hand went down and grazed over her breasts. She yells that the video looks inappropriate and crazy, as well as being embarrassing for her.
After Peter, who is now visibly sweating, repeats that he and that woman in the video are not trying to have sex with one another, Cynthia accuses him of thinking only of himself. She adds that he’s just given her Real Housewives co-stars reason to gossip about them.
“I’m embarrassed. You know how these girls talk! Now you just gave them a reason to open up their wide mouths again.”
In an interview, Cynthia admits that this is not the first time that she has heard rumors of Peter cheating on her. A flashback shows the moment during the Season 7 reunion show when Porsha Williams claimed that Peter was fooling around with a waitress at his bar. In her interview, Cynthia said that she ignored the previous rumors because they were just that, rumors.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr , immediately after the video came out, Porsha indicated that she’s trying really hard to not be petty .
During a heart-to-heart moment with her sister Malorie, who says that she thinks Peter is cheating even if there’s no sex involved, Cynthia admits that she isn’t attracted to Peter with his clothes off. In a confessional interview, Cynthia points out that Peter was never a supermodel.
“Physical attraction is important, but I’m more attracted to someone’s mind. It’s not like Peter was a supermodel when I met him.”
Cynthia later tearfully tells Malorie that she won’t give up on the marriage.
“When I married Peter, I signed up for better or for worse. I didn’t look at the video and think, ‘Okay, I gotta walk away from my marriage because of this.’”
Later, during Cynthia’s party for her eyeglass line, Kenya Moore confronts Peter about the video. Peter lashes back at Kenya for butting in his business. Kenya apparently has no regrets about confronting Peter. She tweeted that she rides hard for her true friends.
Than u I ride hard for my true friends #RHOA https://t.co/oQVdMumZrO

Viewers will likely continue to hear Kenya Moore criticize Peter in support of her friend. The trailer for The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 shows that Peter Thomas and Cynthia Bailey will continue to have marital drama over the video.
