Taking to Instagram, Mia opened up about her tumultuous past in a vulnerable and explosive way. In her post, she began, "Tired of protecting." She went on to disclose key details about the true nature of her relationship with Gordon.

She emphasized that her husband never stopped his lavish spending. The 'RHOP' star also noted that he didn’t know when to stop "buying women."
In a shocking revelation, Mia disclosed that Gordon was found kissing her friend, which led her to realize she didn't deserve that life. This realization prompted her to rekindle her spark with an old flame. However, matters escalated as Gordon became "abusive and threatened my existence." He also begged her to stay and confessed that he was bankrupt. Mia initially decided to stick by him but later endured financial distress and years of abuse.
Mia revealed that Gordon threatened her multiple times when she attempted to leave him. Now that she is finally heading for divorce, she ends her powerful message by stating that Gordon is a "predator" who pays for sexual favors and preys on young women.
