Mia Thornton currently is a boss alongside her husband Gordon. According to The Sun, he owns multiple The Joint Chiropractic franchises, which Mia helps operate. Before taking over the title of boss, Mia had an interesting background. During Season 6 of “RHOP,” Thornton shared that she met her husband while working in a strip club. According to Thornton, she was only working there as a bartender, but the housewives weren’t easily convinced. They proceeded to press her further about her job position. Thornton soon switched her story. “Someone called [Gordon] and said, ‘Hey, we’ve got a new girl working here, she’s serving some really good drinks,'” she explained to the group. “Shortly after serving drinks, yes, I did become a stripper and that’s when I met him.”
Thornton even claimed that despite being a stripper, she barely took off her clothes. “Well, honey, I don’t do a pole -– it’s a gentleman’s club, so it’s a five-star restaurant and they don’t have a pole because they don’t want the stigma and the girls wear long gowns,” she explained. “Most of the time, my clients didn’t want me to take my clothes off, they just really wanted to pay me for my time.”

The housewives weren’t exactly sold on her tales. Castmate Wendy Osefo took to Twitter when the episode aired and called her a liar. In an interview with E! News, Thornton claimed she met Gordon at a charity event that happened to be held at the strip club.
