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.”
