RHOP’s Mia Thornton Sued for Eviction Before Airport Arrest (Excl)
The former star of “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” Mia Thornton, found herself in legal trouble before her recent arrest for allegedly stealing furniture from a luxury rental property. According to exclusive information obtained by Us Weekly, Thornton was sued for eviction alongside Jared McGriff by Encore Management in September.
The lawsuit stated that Thornton and McGriff rented a three-bedroom, three-bathroom unit in Atlanta but failed to pay the rent, amounting to $5,100 for September and $6,085 per month thereafter. Encore Management sought eviction and demanded the overdue rent, along with additional fees.
This was not the first time Thornton faced eviction proceedings. In March 2024, another eviction lawsuit was filed against her in North Carolina for failing to pay $3,419 in rent. These legal issues culminated in Thornton’s arrest at the Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport on November 19.
The arrest was related to an active warrant for alleged furniture theft. Encore Management reported that Thornton and McGriff abruptly moved out of the rental property in the middle of the night, taking all the furniture and a TV with them. The value of the furniture and TV was estimated to be over $11,000.
Bodycam footage from Thornton’s arrest showed her in tears as she was handcuffed. She mentioned to the police that McGriff had a storage key and expressed her desire for the furniture to be returned. Thornton remains in custody, as she has not posted bond.
Thornton rose to fame as a cast member on “The Real Housewives of Potomac” in season 6 but announced her departure from the show after season 9 earlier this year. In an Instagram post, she shared her decision to relocate to Atlanta and expressed gratitude for the experiences and memories from her time on the show.
Despite her legal troubles, Thornton’s journey continues to unfold as she navigates the aftermath of her arrest and looks towards the future. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
