Peter Thomas took to social media on Tuesday (June 25) suited and booted and admitted to tax evasion.
The former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star and ex-husband of Cynthia Bailey took accountability for failing to pay Uncle Sam and his IRS goons.
Peter began by saying, “I’ve did some wrong that I have to make right. I have to stand up, I have to be accountable, I have to be responsible and I have to pay my debt.”
He went on to admit how he lost control of his tax debt:
From one struggling business to the next, I failed to pay my withholding taxes on time.
And at some point, when the business wasn’t doing well, failed to pay at all.
It’s something that I thought I could work out, catch up with, make whole.
But then the hole got deeper for me.
In 2022, Radar Online reported Peter Thomas was hit with a massive federal tax lien for failing to make 10 payments totaling $450,399.52 for his former restaurant, Uptown Restaurant & Lounge.
Peter was later hit with a $9 million judgment for unpaid rent for his Miami business, Bar One.
In closing, Mr. Thomas said:
I deeply regret, deeply, and I’m saying this with all sincerity, I deeply regret [not making] the IRS withholding taxes a priority in my life.
With no excuses because there is none.
It’s the law. And I’m finding out a lot about that law lately.
Watch Peter’s video statement below.
This is giving…I will make a public statement admitting my wrongdoing and encourage others not to rob Uncle Sam for some type of leniency, your honor.
Pay your taxes.
