Mia Thornton, a former star of Real Housewives of Potomac, has long possessed a knack for weaving a fictitious tale on demand.
Even though her Bravo chapter may be closed, she still appears to be as inventive as ever. An influencer named Sophie O’Neil claimed that the ex-reality TV personality had superimposed herself onto an older image Sophie posted. Sophie initially stepped into Mia’s comments, asking her to remove the photo, then alleged that Mia blocked her in retaliation. Mia subsequently deleted the original post, though she followed up with a second image in the same dress while seated at a restaurant, presenting it as “proof.”
“Never needed clout,” she captioned the image. “My name carries enough weight on its own. Let me guess, what’s her name—there’s a photo of her sitting inside the restaurant too.”
The influencer didn’t post a restaurant shot, or rather, she did not; instead, she shared a video of herself in the same dress, paired with the identical bag and shoes, while listening to music in a bathroom. Many fans praised her for presenting her receipts, as Mia took to her page to claim that she was being talked about while monetizing on social media, seemingly acknowledging the AI allegations.
“Two seasons off Potomac…,” Mia wrote. “Y’all still talking about me. I’m busy adding 000’s to my bottom line with AI. We are not the same.”
Well, all right then. In the meantime, several other reality stars have hopped on the trend, posting their own AI clips wearing Sophie’s form-fitting ensemble.
Real Housewives of Atlanta OG Sheree Whitfield joined in on the fun, alongside Mia’s former castmate Karen Huger, who posted a photo to her Instagram stories. Basketball Wives star Tami Roman also created one, while former Love & Hip Hop castmember Zell Swag will never miss a chance to snag a moment in the spotlight.
One thing is clear: Sophie seems to be gaining a handful of new followers from the whole controversy, though it remains uncertain whether Mia intended it that way. AI has the ladies engaged in peculiar games.
