RHOP's Mia Reacts to Claims She Edited Face Onto Model's Body - American Focus

Mia Thornton has addressed allegations that she edited her face onto the body of influencer Sophie O’Neill in an Instagram post that has since been removed.

The 41-year-old, known for her appearance on Real Housewives of Potomac, shared a new post on Thursday, June 25, asserting her ongoing success despite the rumors. “Two seasons off Potomac… Y’all still talking about me. I’m busy adding 000’s to my bottom line with AI. We are not the same. 💋 #therealdeal #bornentertainer,” she wrote, responding to a social media user’s accusation of the alleged editing mishap.

In response to a comment urging her to stop using another person’s body, Thornton replied, “She cute tho. And we got her her 20 seconds of fame. So mission accomplished. Y’all did your big one!”

Thornton’s statement comes amid comparisons to a previously shared photo by O’Neill, featuring a similar pose in a fitted white dress. O’Neill addressed the issue directly, stating, “@mrsmiathornton — super imposing yourself onto my picture. The world is a very scary place these days — this is just sad,” and requested the removal of the image.

Us Weekly has contacted Thornton for further comment.

In the wake of the controversy, Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge joined a viral trend where users edited their faces onto the infamous white dress photo.

Judge, 58, humorously captioned her image, “Completely untouched. Definitely not AI. 😌”

As reported by the Daily Mail, Thornton attempted to dispel the rumors by posting another photo in the same outfit but from a different background, this time seated in a restaurant booth.

In her recent post, she noted, “Never needed clout,” and added, “My name carries enough weight on its own.” Thornton further commented, “Let me guess, what’s her name has a photo sitting down inside the restaurant too.”
