RHOP fans were critical of Mia Thornton leaving the Season 9 reunion early after being in the hot seat.
Mia Thornton left the reunion for Season 9 of “Real Housewives of Potomac” early. She was in the hot seat the majority of the time. Gizelle Bryant, Wendy Osefo, Keiarna Stewart, and Ashley Darby accused Mia of lying about the paternity of her son being questionable. She said she could have been pregnant when she began her IVF process. They told Mia this wasn’t possible because a blood-based pregnancy test was required at the beginning stages. Gizelle said it was awful to see the paternity issue become a storyline on the show. And Mia had been a terrible mother that season not to consider how this would impact her son in the long run.
After Mia left, Gizelle said she didn’t respect Mia leaving because she couldn’t handle being called out. Some fans of the show expressed the same perspective on social media. Interestingly enough, Mia addressed the situation during an interview with her boo Inc. via Posted On The Corner.
When Inc asked Mia why she left early, she first said her feet were hurting and she was just ready to go.
“Chile because no one had time to be sitting there talking about all that crazy mess. Plus, my feet were hurting…I had enough. Like legit, I wanted to take that dress off. I couldn’t breathe. My feet were hurting. We had been sitting there…A lot of people don’t realize that we film the reunion for like 14 hours. It was like hour ten. Okay? Labor laws kicked in at that point. It’s time for me to go.”
Mia Thornton said she wanted to assault Gizelle Bryant.
Inc. complimented Mia, “I would like to personally commend you on your growth.”
He continued, “You know a lot of people like to try to keep you in the place where they met you at or think that you’re still at. When I bring this up, I’m only using it as a reference. So for knowing you twenty-plus years, in any other type of situation…”
Mia then said, “You know I was about to knock the brakes off of her head, right? You know that right? You’ve seen that happen, right?”
Inc. laughs and Mia went on to say that her walking away was growth. She also said Gizelle wouldn’t be bold without the cameras.
“I’ma name drop. Gizelle knows dang on well that she would not speak to me that way if there was no security and not the platform. She would get her head knocked off by anybody talking to anybody that way. So the fact that I got up and I was being a bigger woman and I exited left…let’s just be real, like who’s being real here?”
She continued, “You’re not out here talking to people like that. You’re being fake, you’re phony. You’re doing it because of what’s going around. I don’t know how to do fake, I don’t know how to do phony. I keep it real. And I would have really knocked her head off. Okay? So I had to leave (laughs). Let’s be real.”

That’s bad when violence is involved. I would have left too.
