A year after her arrest, Real Housewives of Potomac star Mia Thornton is facing potential jail time after a district attorney filed a felony theft charge against her.
In November 2025, Mia was arrested at the airport in Atlanta over alleged stolen furniture. After the arrest, the star made a post addressing how she was attempting to keep “grounded” amid the “chaos.”
TMZ obtained court documents indicating that the Fulton County District Attorney filed a charge of ‘felony theft by taking’ against Mia, and now, she’s facing potential jail time.
Per the docs, Mia and her associate Jared McGriff allegedly stole furniture as well as a television worth somewhere between $5,000 and $25,000 last October, a few weeks before her arrest. The incident allegedly took place in the middle of the night when Mia was moving out of a condo that was furnished.
Last April, Mia announced her exit from the show.
“With every new season comes a new beginning and I have some news to share. My family and I have made the decision to relocate to Atlanta, and with that, I will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Potomac next season,” she wrote at the time.
“The past four seasons have been an unforgettable journey one filled with growth, lessons, and so many incredible memories. I want to thank Truly Original, Bravo, NBCUniversal, and Andy Cohen for believing in me and giving me the space to share my story. To my castmates: thank you for the laughs, the lessons, and the unforgettable moments. And to the amazing fans, your love and support has meant everything to me. I’ll always carry that with me,” she added. “This next chapter is already full of exciting opportunities, and I can’t wait to take you all along for the ride. Big things are coming.”
She included the quote, “I don’t just make headlines — I make History. Atlanta, brace yourself. The empire has expanded.”
The new season of Real Housewives of Potomac premieres Sunday, October 11 on Bravo.
