Just a quick post about Phaedra Parks’s recent cancellation of her book signing at City Hall in Atlanta since I keep getting asked about it and there has been some misinformation in the comments here. Phaedra is in the middle of promoting her ridiculous book that I will not even acknowledge by title here about her southern graces. I thought there could be no one more ridiculous to peddle a book on etiquette when the Countess De Lesseps published her little ditty a few years ago, but then along came Ms. Parks.
Anyway, the book signing was scheduled for last Friday at noon and Phaedra cancelled it due to inclement weather. Several of you found that suspicious. In this instance, I am here to take up for Phaedra. Last week was an icy mess in the city. All metro schools closed on Friday out of an abundance of caution. Earlier in the week the schools did not close when they should have and hundreds of middle and high school students were stranded at their schools overnight. Other students were stranded on school buses until the wee hours of the morning trying to get home. It was a logistical nightmare. On Friday morning there was still ice on some of the side roads, so despite the weather warming up by noon, it made total sense for Phaedra to reschedule.
The book signing will take place at the same location this Friday, (tomorrow) at noon. Ironically, we may get ice again tonight, so there is probably a hell freezing over joke in there somewhere.
Some of you are asking about Phaedra’s connection to Mayor Kasim Reed with regard to her chosen location of the Old Council Chambers at City Hall for the signing. I doubt she called in any favors with Mayor Reed. The chambers are available to the public to rent for all sorts of events. Did she get a discount rate? Maybe. Who knows. What I do know is that her misspelling of council on her website as “the Old Counsel Chambers” is inadvertently hysterical and makes it seem like a bedroom for an elderly attorney. Just saying.
So this is one of those post to put some rumors to rest without a lot of added tea. Old Counsel Chambers…..Bwahahahahahah. Um. Sorry.
Thanks for the post Tamara.
It may not be the best book, but you have to give her credit, she will make a buck if she can as they all seem to do. I think Phaedra’s and LuAnn’s books should be maybe do as I say but absolutely not as I do, and question the first half of that saying. I have never seen so many people writing books and peddling brands of stuff so ridiculous in my life. Some are writing books and maybe never read a book in their lives. How many apparel brands can we stand, they all seem to run together and look alike. Aren’t they all for the most part manufactured by the same company and then the different names put on the actual piece?
Your comment reminded me of Sheree describing the library-to-be in Château Sheree although she has yet to release her own book.
Hi Jarlath
What does anything Sheree said have to do with my comment? Please explain ? Thanks
You were talking about people who’ve never read a book becoming authors and I think Sheree even though she has yet to publish a book is in the same league with her library.
Yall are to freaking educated! Sheree wasn’t building a library. She was building a Lie-berry. Sheesh!
@ Kim that’s right, she did call it a lie-berry LOL!
Kim that is soooooooo funny!!!!!!
Will you cover the signing in person? If so, please serve us the tea about the event. Maybe even a pic with you two throwing up a silly hand sign or two.
I can just see Tamara now, photobombing Phaedra and throwing gang signs behind her back! Ha haha!
Warning: don’t write a check to her for the book or give her a credit card number….just saying.
thedisher….lol, that was real shizzz.
Puahahahaha!!
jarlath Hi
Yes and thanks I do agree with you.
The photo at the top looks strange – the mayor’s head looks like it was cut out of some other photo and pasted on to this one …
phaedra is a fauxbelle and nothing lady like IMO. there are some things a real belle doesn’t do, and won’t do, starting with dildos–
I see that Phaedra is not on the WWHL lineup now! Is the weather still bad in Atlanta? It is getting bad in TX. I guess we won’t hear from Phaedra until the reunion.
I think Phaedra may be praying to the ‘baby Lord Jesus’ for continued bad weather to avoid pre-arranged public appearances – even at the peril of selling books/making bucks. There’s no way in hell that some people that show up to these aren’t going to be the hecklers from hell about what’s going on with her and Apollo – and especially considering the title of that book she has to try and sell!
Tamara….girl! This is why I come over here!!! Thanks for the scoop!!! <3
Sooooo, do we know if the book-signing underway?
Before Andy took a recent break on WWHL, he announced that Phaedra would be the guest when the show returned (about a week later, I think).
The news about Apollo had just come out, but the rumors about Phaedra’s involvement hadn’t started swirling at that point. Andy looked downright gleeful as he promised us we would see Phaedra on Andy’s show.
But, of course, she did not appear on WWHL, and I don’t think Andy has mentioned it…
Hmmmm.
I remember that but I thought it was for after the break they are on now…..

Answers: Sweetie is titled “Personal Assistant,” wouldn’t say “glorified” either. Think she’s on hand to “brown nose,” the scary part? She literally has a brown nose. But something tells us she resents this perception cause she seems to be “Talking Back” more, standing up for herself, even in the mildest sense: Moxy! Good for you, Sweetie. Hope she’s paying you well–like the ‘cost of living’ well. In short, can you afford at least a one-bedroom in that locale and a car note? OK, groceries, too? Blog about it, let us know.
Not for nothing, T.T. You know how exhibits the MOST class? No, not Kim’s name-brands, fab home, hunky hubby, but her ex’s; could you imagine the blogs coming from: Big Papa or the babyfathers of her two oldest ones? Or even her mom. She have gotten her mother to sign a confidentiality agreement not to do such a thing; but those baby-daddys from CT? I doubt it. Gotta be cool dudes. Somebody would probably pay them for such a back-story. e.g.: One of Todd’s ex’s came on the comments [in one of those Kandi’s posts] and shared her memories of their union–WE WERE ENTHRALLED! We can see why the likes of say a 50 Cent ‘n them are having companions sign “non disclosure” agreements early on in the union. I’d NEVER sign such a thing…that’s robbing a person of their story. Yet, I get it, why the “star” would have such a document signed. Have you read that Kelley book on Oprah? If so, then you KNOW what she has her staff sign just to work for her–they could NEVER write their bio, during their employ with her, or after it–gag order till death! Ain’t that a blip? At least the O pays well. 🙂
Wrote this under the wrong post. Pardon y’all.
Um, WTF? I’m going to go with drunk.
