Mia Thornton says ‘RHOP’ fame is ‘too much’ for Incognito
Mia Thornton is getting real about how fame is affecting her relationship with her boyfriend Inc. While appearing on the November 3 episode of 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,' the 'Real Housewives of Potomac' star shared that her beau is struggling with the new attention. While chatting with Andy Cohen, Mia admitted that being part of 'RHOP' has been "a lot" for Inc. As she said, "I don't think that he knew he was going to be like the ninth housewife."
For context, Inc is an Atlanta-based radio personality who has spent his career being heard but not seen—so stepping into the reality TV spotlight has been a major adjustment. "He's used to people hearing him, not seeing him," Mia noted. "So this is a little bit of a different experience."
