Sunday on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 3, Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas reached a breaking point in their troubled marriage.
Meanwhile, Kenya Moore made an effort to mend fences with Sheree Whitfield, but as you can expect, it did not necessarily go as planned.
“Peter and I definitely have been having some issues,” Cynthia said.
“I just really, honestly, pretty much checked out on the situation.”
Not exactly what you’d call a good sign right there. No ma’am.
Yet it was Leon, the father of her daughter Noelle, who really made an impact, calling Cynthia out on her has a history of bailing on tough relationships.
“The fact that he thinks I should fight for my marriage really speaks volumes,” she said, adding, “It really makes me want to reevaluate the situation.”
Meanwhile, Porsha Williams tried to get Kandi Burruss to support her new romance with football star Duke, but Kandi had to bite her tongue. Often.
For her part, Kenya threw a hot party for her Kenya Moore Haircare line, and things got so hot, it was like there was no air conditioning up in there.
No, seriously, the A/C was out and people were sweltering.
Sheree, who’s gotten into it with Kenya in the past, was quick to throw shade, and Kenya admitted what a s–tshow it was. No spinning this mess.
They did bury the hatchet from their previous beef, at least.
Mostly. Despite publicly making up with her rival, Sheree told Bravo cameras, “I can let bygones be bygones but I still know that the bitch is sneaky.”
That would pretty much sum up RHOA in a nutshell.
Back to Cynthia and Peter, if you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online, you’ll learn in the back half of the episode just how bad things are.
“It doesn’t feel good to come home to an empty bed night after night,” Bailey lamented, admitting it had been 10 days since they last communicated.
If nothing else, that streak came to an end Sunday.
“I felt like you acted completely inappropriately at the party,” she told her husband, who admitted he was “inebriated” at the now-infamous soiree.
His actions were the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back for Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas marital tension, but far from the only issue.
Peter said putting work ahead of their marriage doomed them both, while Cynthia felt a more general “disconnect” between them was the culprit.
Words were exchanged. Tempers rose.
Just when it seemed they were totes done for, though, they reached a point where the couple decided to follow Porsha’s advice to work that s–t out.
“I’m going to do everything I can. I am. I promise you,” Peter said, and while Cynthia was not optimistic, she’s going to give it another go as well.
Think they’re gonna make it?
