Subsequently, Cynthia invested a substantial sum to facilitate the re-opening of Bar One. Although there were plans in 2015 to re-open Bar One in Atlanta, those plans never came to fruition. Further, Peter\u2019s attempt to open an affiliated space in North Carolina failed due to unpaid taxes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"688\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gm0p3fgU490?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In a 2017 interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essence.com\/entertainment\/cynthia-bailey-business-peter-thomas\/\">ESSENCE<\/a>, Cynthia acknowledged that the couple had \u201cunfinished business.\u201d It seems Cynthia is trying to close out that business by suing Peter for $170,000 she loaned him to obtain a new building for Bar One.
