There are new reports claiming that Cynthia Bailey's husband Peter Thomas was involved in Apollo Nida's alleged fraudulent business scam. Nida, who is married to Phaedra Parks, was arrested on Jan. 23 for bank fraud and identity theft.
Bailey recently spoke about the rumors stating that her husband is in no way connected to what Nida has been accused of.
"I can't speak on Apollo, but I can say that Peter Thomas doesn't have anything to do with a bank fraud scandal to my knowledge," she told Jet magazine (via Radar Online). "The feds are not sitting outside our house. That is just not accurate information..."
Thomas, who is best friends with Nida, spoke out to Sister 2 Sister magazine saying that he was stunned to learn of Nida's arrest.
"I don't know nothing about it," he told the magazine at the. "I have absolutely no comment on his arrest."
"I just have to wait, like everybody else, to see how it plays out," he added. "I hope that everything will play out in the best form."
There were reports that Parks might be connected to the alleged crime. When news first broke, the reality star's name was not mentioned in connection to her husband's alleged illegal activity but several people - including Wendy Williams - wondered if the entertainment lawyer was innocent.
During an episode of "The Wendy Williams Show," the talk show host blasted Parks saying that she definitely thought the "RHOA" star knew what her husband was doing.
"Apollo and Phaedra, it's time for you get off reality TV," Williams said. "These Bravo checks aren't big enough to buy a new funeral home and clothes for [Parks' baby] Mr. President. Somebody needed a job from some place."
Radar Online claims to have documents that link Parks to some of Nida's businesses. The documents, from the Georgia Security of State Corporations, reportedly show Parks' name listed on several businesses as a founder member. Nida's name allegedly appears on the documents as well.
The businesses included Recovery Group Inc., Nida Inc,; Nida Fitness Inc., and Nida Group Inc. However, according to TVFishbowl.com, the businesses her name appears on are not the same ones listed on Nida's federal indictment. Reportedly the purpose of the information is to provide proof that Parks was aware and involved in, at least some, of Nida's businesses.
