On the heels of his separation from wife of six years Cynthia Bailey, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Peter Thomas has landed in some serious legal trouble, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
According to North Carolina Superior Court documents obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com, Atlanta-based investor Tony G. Taylor claims club owner Thomas, 55, made false statements in order to coax him into investing $150,000 into new Charlotte hot spot Club One.
Thomas allegedly lied when he claimed he had personally invested up to $3 million into the nightclub, and had set up filming opportunities with RHOA and a possible Bravo spinoff titled What's Peter Doing Now.
The reality star also was accused of promising Taylor a 15% ownership in the club.
