The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Brit Eady accused her estranged husband, Michael Cunningham, of abuse in divorce documents exclusively obtained by Us Weekly.
Eady, 38, filed a motion in their divorce case last month, accusing Cunningham of “financial and emotional abuse.” The Bravo alum alleged that Cunningham hadn’t paid the mortgage on their joint home or her $2,800 monthly car payment on time since she filed for divorce in January.
The pair were married for five years before Eady announced their separation.
“I’m posting this on the last day of 365 to remove this facade of faking like this marriage is going to work,” she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram statement on December 31, 2025. “Everybody can’t come into the next chapter.”
She added at the time, “I’m done hurting and I want to be happy in my next chapter. Cheers to 2026 of putting my happiness first 🥂 ✌🏽. And, for the record, as much as I can’t stand him, we are not going to create a false narrative that I’m walking away because of any fake made up rumors.”
In the legal docs filed on June 1, Eady alleged that she is unemployed, while her investor and developer ex earns $30,000 per month.
“[Cunningham] has been the breadwinner during the marriage. [Eady] is completely reliant upon [him] for financial support and maintenance,” the court documents read. “[He] is financially abusing [her].”
According to Eady, Cunningham allegedly “engaged in acts of contempt” after she filed for divorce.
Eady and Cunningham got married in 2021, subsequently purchasing a home in the Atlanta area. The reality TV alum alleged in her June filing that the mortgage on the property was in her name, but Cunningham always paid the bills.
“[He] has intentionally paid the mortgage late on the residence adversely affecting [Brit’s] credit status … in an attempt to gain leverage in the divorce proceedings pending before the court,” she claimed in her court docs, also alleging Cunningham stopped paying her $429 per month car insurance.
The filing adds, “Prior to marriage, [Eady] was employed; yet due to the adverse credit ratings due to [his] acts, she has been unable to qualify for specific employment opportunities. [He] traditionally paid these expenses during the marriage and was paying these expenses at the time [she] filed for divorce,” per the legal docs, that she also claimed violate an automatic standing order.

Eady further alleged that Cunningham also stopped paying their homeowner’s association fees and utility bills for water, trash and sewer services.
Us Weekly reached out to Cunningham for comment. While he has yet to address Eady’s latest accusations, he responded to her initial divorce petition last month and requested Eady pay all court costs and attorneys’ fees.
The exes have been ordered by the court to attend mediation by July 31.
