Gizelle Bryant gets pressured into addressing rumors that she was seeing Peter Thomas in the new Season 7 trailer for “The Real Housewives of Potomac.”
“Gizelle, everybody is asking me if you’re sleeping with Peter Thomas,” Candiace Dillard Bassett asks Bryant of the man once married to “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Cynthia Bailey during a cast dinner
The clip cuts with Bryant, 51, looking stunned and realizing she’ll have to address the rumors head-on.
Later on in the trailer, the women are screaming at each other at another dinner when none other than Thomas himself appears. It’s unclear what the ladies are arguing about, but it seemingly has something to do with Thomas.
“I’m gonna exit on that one though,” Thomas says amid the screaming and gets up to leave the table.
The two Bravolebrities sparked dating speculation last spring after they were spotted hanging out in Baltimore. The alleged romance caused drama among Bravo fans, since Bryant and Bailey, 55, are close friends – with Bryant even attending Bailey’s wedding to new hubby Mike Hill in October 2020.
However, Bryant shut down the rumors in May.
“No, it’s so not true,” Bryant told Fox 5 D.C. in May. “I know exactly where it came from but I won’t say. I’ll save that for the show and it’s so not true. And it’s actually hurtful to other people when people do things like this because I think Peter has a legitimate girlfriend.”
The “Reasonably Shady” podcast host added that she had to talk to Bailey and her ex-husband Jamal Bryant about the rumors.
While fans may not get to see her date Thomas, the new season teases that she’s found herself “rekindling a romance with someone from her past” as well as “casually dating.”
Bryant was married to Jamal from 2002 to 2009, with whom she shares their three daughters, Grace, 17, and twins Adore and Angel, 16. They divorced after the pastor had an affair, but they rekindled their romance in 2019. They called it quits for good last year.
Meanwhile, Thomas and Bailey’s marriage played out on “RHOA” until they got divorced in 2017 after seven years of marriage.
Season 7 of ”The Real Housewives of Potomac” premieres Sunday, Oct. 9 at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
