Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta has given us some of reality TV’s biggest personalities. With a cast full of strong, opinionated women, viewers are usually in for a treat whenever an episode is aired. Cynthia Bailey, an Alabama native who joined the show during its third season, added an entirely new personality to the mix. Often quiet and reserved, Bailey’s storyline has consisted mostly of her relationship with Peter Thomas, who she married at the end of the show’s third season against her family’s wishes. Cynthia’s questionable choices have often made her fodder for viewers and other cast members. However, she has proven that although she tends to be quiet in an attempt to avoid drama, she has no problem speaking up when necessary. Still, as with most quiet people, Bailey can sometimes come off as distant and mysterious. Here are three things you didn’t know about Cynthia Bailey.
