Cynthia Bailey Seen For First Time Since 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Exit, Flees To Los Angeles After Getting Axed By Bravo

Cynthia Bailey is showing face after her exit from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but she's not doing it in Georgia.
Earlier this week, the 54-year-old reality star headed straight to sunny California, as she was spotted arriving at Los Angeles International Airport.
Though she had a smile on her face – potentially due to whatever phone conversation she was having – Cynthia was wearing all black. Could she be in mourning over the loss of her longstanding TV gig?
As Breaking Celebrity News reported earlier this month, Bravo is said to have given the seasoned show veteran the boot after 11 years on the popular reality franchise.
The once-top peach-holder came in hot during Season 3 when she married her first husband but umpteenth fiancé, Peter Thomas. (Remember when her mother and sister tried to hide their marriage certificate?)
Between her financial struggles, marital woes, family dynamics and up-and-down friendship with the show's then-star, NeNe Leakes, Cynthia was an instant fan favorite – especially after she divorced Peter, grew into her own, embarked on business ventures and became the reasonable yet shade-throwing "auntie" of the bunch.
Fans watched Cynthia find love again with Los Angeles-based sportscaster Mike Hill, who she married during Season 13. Due to restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic, Bravo cameras were not allowed to film the nuptials, but fans still got to experience the coupe's big day (on 10-10-2020, don't you forget!) via social media and whatever footage the ladies captured on their cellphones, which they handed over to producers.
But it seems that the strength of Bailey's storyline may have weakened as a result of her now seemingly stable marriage, and producers reportedly did not ask her back for Season 14.
