Former Real Housewives of Atlanta supporting cast member Peter Thomas debuted his much younger girlfriend during his appearance on Carlos King’s “Reality with the King” podcast this week.
Thomas, 65, is currently dating a 32-year-old Instagram model named Alex.
Thomas said his girl toy was “the only person that drove four hours to come and visit me, four hours to go back, and help me keep my sanity in that prison… There was this woman.”
Thomas was convicted of failing to pay employment taxes on $2.5 million revenue.
He was released from prison in March after serving 6 months.
Thomas defended Alex’s age, saying, “She might be younger than me but she is a woman… He added, “I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
“If my daughters are Ok with it, then I can give two fcks what the rest of the world thinks… She’s over 30, so it’s all good.”
Carlos King formally introduced Alex to his viewers. Since there were only 2 chairs, Carlos told Alex to sit on Thomas’ lap.
Social media users on Instagram and X.com mocked Thomas for dating a woman young enough to be his daughter.
One person wrote: “Bruh this a gold digger for sure and he is definitely mentally loss.”
Another person wrote: “Why is she in his lap like a little girl? Is she not allowed to have her own chair?”
A third person wrote: “lol sitting on grandpa’s lap.”
Peter Thomas, who is 65 years old, says he doesn’t care what the world thinks about the 32-year age difference between him and his new girlfriend as they both open up about how they met.
