Phaedra Parks got booted from The Real Housewives of Atlanta after starting that so nasty and so rude rumor about Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker. But now the mom of two is claiming most of her storyline was fabricated in an interview with DailyMailTV.
Phaedra said she has no regrets about her eight-year run on the Bravo TV series and said the entire time, she was playing “a character that they’re manipulating for their own benefit.” Girl….
The lawyer (or mortician, or whatever her job is these days) said her storyline was manipulated on several occasions. When the rumors emerged that she was allegedly cheating on her ex-husband Apollo Nida with an African prince, Phaedra said, “I mean, it was the most ludicrous, crazy thing in the world. I was never unfaithful in my marriage at all.”
She said the producers on RHOA were “continually making up stuff” to make the show more interesting.
“That’s the essence of reality TV, they make things up to make storylines juicy. People love to watch other people having very tragic, dramatic situations that are out of control because it makes them feel like their life is not half as bad.”
Yup, she really went there. And after bashing the platform that cut her a check for years on end, she announced she has a “new television project on the horizon.” She added, “I can’t mention it yet, but I’m coming back to the small screen. It’s a very popular show and you get to see me in a totally different light.”
Lawd, please don’t let her be the next cast member on Naked and Afraid!
In case you forgot, Phaedra attended Andy Cohen’s baby shower as Nene Leakes’ plus one, but despite Andy still being cordial with her, Phaedra said she hasn’t “had any discussions about returning.”
Kandi has already made it clear that she would leave the show if they bring Phae-Phae back, and to that, Ms. Parks said:
“I find it amusing because if she is that concerned about me three years later, I must have really impacted her life. So I’m glad I touched her like that.”
SMH. That is NOT the way to get your peach back!
BTW, besides her businesses and her new television venture, Phaedra is done with her young tender, radio host Tone Capone, and has moved on to date her former RHOA co-star Claudia Jordan’s ex-boo, Medina Islam. Slim pickin’s in the ATL I guess. *Shrugs*
Anywho, do you think Phaedra’s storyline was manipulated to make for good TV or is auntie trippin?
