The first part of the reunion show began with Andy Cohen reading a statement he received from Thomas’s lawyers. The statement read, “Along with Bravo, our client made the mutual decision not to attend today’s reunion taping as there is a pending investigation. Our client is fully cooperating with authorities on this investigation. He expects to be completely vindicated once the investigation is concluded. He sends his best regards to his fans and his fellow castmates.”

As OK! readers will remember, Thomas has been accused of allegedly assaulting multiple woman, including Debbie Holloway Perkins, who claims she was assaulted following a date back in 2015, and Thomas’s former nanny.

Most of the castmates believed Thomas forgoing the reunion was appropriate. However, his ex Kathryn Dennis did her best to remain diplomatic.

“I’m not going to comment until it’s resolved. What I am going to focus on is just the children and staying out of it,” she said.
