Eva Marcille Files For Divorce From Michael Sterling

by

They were a beautiful blended family who let reality television cameras into their lives, but Eva Marcille and Michael Sterling‘s marriage is over. The model rose to prominence following her explosive stint on America’s Next Top Model years ago. However, she found a new career in unscripted TV after adding her peach to the Real Housewives of Atlanta. The drama unfolded as it usually would, but viewers were able to escape the in-fighting when the Sterlings showed off their growing brood.

Today (March 28), TMZ reported that Eva Marcille is ready to call it quits and filed divorce papers in Georgia. She and her attorney husband seemed to have a cooperative relationship, and there weren’t any obvious signs of things turning sour. TMZ further shared that in the docs, Eva stated she and Sterling were already separated. The reason for the divorce wasn’t implicitly apparent, but she did blame “irreconcilable differences.”

Eva Marcille Wants Custody

Additionally, it’s reported that Eva wants legal and primary physical custody of their three children. The model has also asked the court to issue child support and wants everything she and Michael have acquired during the marriage to be split equally. The actress shares her eldest, Marley Rae, with singer Kevin McCall. She’d previously accused McCall of being violent during their relationship, and his antics on social media caused concern. Eva would later change Marley Rae’s last name to Sterling.

Meanwhile, Eva and Michael were married in 2018, and just this past October, Marcille was raving about her husband. She shared a video of their wedding and seemed overwhelmed with love. The pair even had a TV wedding, exchanging vows on Real Housewives. Neither party has spoken about the split. It is unclear how long they have been separated.

Just a week ago, the paparazzi caught up with Eva was didn’t have an issue referring to Michael as her husband. However, she had yet to share that she was a newly single woman—kind of, so that would be expected. A quick look at Eva Marcilles Instagram page shows that Sterling has been noticeably absent for some time. However, Eva hasn’t removed photos of her ex, hinting that this may be an amicable divorce.

RHOA Star Peter Thomas Faces Charges After Choking A Woman At His Restaurant

by

Entrepreneur Peter Thomas apparently doesn’t live by the customer’s always right motto. Today (February 28), the 62-year-old found himself in an unfavorable situation, which accordingly brought upon criminal charges to his name. While at his Baltimore restaurant Bar One, Thomas allegedly grabbed a woman by the throat and proceeded to choke her. According to The Neighborhood Talk, the victim, although unnamed, has been identified as the niece of reality star Tammy Rivera.

The victim, who was dining at the establishment, claimed to have noticed Thomas inebriated and in a bad mood. Correspondingly, she shared her observations with her friends. Thomas, who was sitting in the same section as her group, supposedly overheard the remarks and proceeded to act out of anger. According to the woman, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta alum had aggressively grabbed her throat and maintained pressure as staff members tried to intervene.

Thomas Allegedly Grabbed Tammy Rivera’s Niece By The Throat

Thomas, whose resume also includes P.R. work at an artist management company and a hip-hop firm, has yet to comment on the ordeal. But, his attack on Rivera’s niece has landed him criminal charges. During the course of his time on the show, Thomas appeared alongside his ex-wife Cynthia Bailey. The show followed the trials and tribulations he would run into while managing his businesses, including Bar One. Fans of the Real Housewives took to Twitter to share their opinions, with one user tweeting, “Peter Thomas choking a woman at bar one in Baltimore was not on my bingo card.” Others noted similarities between his current actions with other stars from the show, with one user writing, “him and Mia have also violence in common I guess.”

Unsurprisingly, this has not been the first time that Thomas has faced trouble with the law. In 2019, the television personality was arrested for allegedly writing fraudulent checks. After spending six days in the Miami-Dade County jail, Thomas was ultimately released, addressing the ordeal as a mistake in an Instagram post. The restauranteur was also under fire in 2021 when a Bar One employee alleged that he was bouncing paychecks. For more news on hip-hop and pop culture, be sure to check out HNHH.

ICYMI: NeNe Leakes Sues ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Production Companies for Supporting Racist Work Environment

NeNe Leakes, a former star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, filed a lawsuit against the show’s producers, alleging that they fostered and tolerated a hostile and racist work environment.

According to The Associated Press, Leakes complained to show executives about racist remarks from white castmate Kim Zolciak-Bierman. Instead of action against Zolciak-Bierman, Leakes was punished. The lawsuit names NBCUniversal, Bravo, True Entertainment, and Truly Original as companies. Show executive producer Andy Cohen is also named.

“NBC, Bravo and True foster a corporate and workplace culture in which racially-insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated – if not, encouraged,” the suit reads.

In the suit, Zolciak-Bierman stated “words to the effect of: ‘I don’t want to sit around with NeNe and eat chicken” when a scene was set to be at a barbecue. In season five, Zolciak-Bierman would refer to Kandi Burruss neighborhood as “ghetto” and suggested Burruss did not need a swimming pool. She also allegedly used the N-word in reference to Leakes, while also referring to her home as a “roach nest” and spreading false rumors of drug abuse.

“As the Black Lives Matter movement swept our nation, Mrs. Leakes — Bravo’s historically most successful Black female talent — should have been embraced by NBC, Bravo, and True,” part of the suit reads. “Instead, NBC, Bravo, and True forced her out of the ‘house she built,’ denying her a regular role.”

Zolciak-Bierman was not included in the suit. Leakes had a seven-season run on RHOA.
