Real Housewives Of Potomac alum Mia Thornton has broken her silence just days after her November 19 arrest following an alleged theft.
The TV personality — who announced her exit from the Bravo reality series in April after four seasons — jumped to her Instagram page on Monday to celebrate her 41st birthday with a series of posts.
Thornton was arrested by police at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport last week after being accused of stealing $11,000 in furniture from a condo she had been renting.
The mom-of-three — who officially turned one year older on November 25 — reflected on being ‘reborn’ and choosing ‘composure over chaos’ alongside a series of glam black and white snaps.
In one post, she could be seen donning a fuzzy coat while her long dark locks flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.
‘Reborn. Re-centered. Re-focused. Year 41 — may it be soft, wealthy, protected, and intentional. MIAMOR,’ Thornton penned in the caption.
