I do not do too many blind items on this site, but I do enjoy reading them at Crazy Days and Nights. The guy that runs the site is an entertainment lawyer who seems to have an endless supply of sources with credible information. By the time he reveals his blinds, you find yourself saying, “Oh, that makes perfect sense now.” Today he revealed this blind he first published on February 26th.
Phaedra Parks
I immediately clicked over to my archives from February to see what was going on. There was a ton of stuff going down. Apollo was working on a plea deal with his attorney. February 9th Pajama Brawl aired showing the world what a thug Apollo was. Cynthia Bailey was stating for the record that Peter had nothing to do with Apollo’s shady dealings. On February 24th, there were two of Angela’s kid’s fathers who depositions went public. The first one was bad. It implied that Stanton and Phaedra were um, more than friends and Phaedra played a role in the breakup, allegedly. The second one was the one where the term “head doctor” was used to describe Phaedra. That doesn’t sound like a southern belle to me! And Stanton’s attorney was making a motion for a summary judgment because Phaedra was refusing to depose.
At this time, I do not believe that housewives was filming. I think she was sleeping in her law office. I’ve been told by someone who works in the building that they can’t remember the last time they saw Phaedra at the office. It’s eight months later and the situation just accelerated during those months. No wonder she needs so many babysitters and nannies for those two boys.
Do y’all believe this blind item reveal about Phaedra?
(Thanks to Jennifer for sending me the link to CDAN !)
Pradera has not had any work as a lawyer the last 2 years! No I don’t believe the pills because she speaks and act very well on camera.
Please read commenting rules. Start with 5 if you don’t know how to spell Phaedra or 4 if you do.

I used to own & operate a website with a VRY active message board w/thousands of members, many of whom were very opinionated and outspoken. This was from 2000-2010 when Facebook totally killed my site. Thankfully we sold just in time.
I was an admin of 12 diff forums but mostly I moderated the fashion, beauty, entertainment news & current events forums. But the “THIS IS MY LAST POST HERE” after knowing they’re getting banned!!! Hahahahaaaaaaa my bf and I (we owned site together) would DIE with this lmaooo Bc, we don’t need a parade in ur honor calm down drama queen lol zero dignity. Just walk away lol AND the first “good bye all” was never the last one, and they’d ALWAYS come back with a fake name & post Bc they just COULDN’T STAY AWAY. As IF I wouldn’t know it was them lol
Why do ppl return to where they’re banned from, I will never know. Lolol
I feel your pain!
Ok that’s all just had to laugh Bc I get it lolol.
Loved the rules.

Wow! I mean this rumor is surprising. This is not something I would have guessed but some people are very good at concealing their addictions. I don’t know but I will definitely be watching for signs next season!
If Phaedra has a pill addiction, I’m gonna go out on a limb here, and say they aren’t diet pills 😉
Oooh snap!
Sad. Those poor little boys (whether the pill popping is fact or fiction).
I read his site too…. this reveal, is plausible…I could imagine Phaedra, waking up with the babies, popping some go pills, getting the kids out the door, getting hair and makeup done, then primping on to the mortuary to check that investment, then she’s off for a ‘working/DRINKING’ lunch so it’s time now time for a nap, but she’s a ‘working’ mother…so head to the office to check on that investment and she has the best office there, nap time…back on the go pills and off to do mommy duties…could be…lol, love blind items..they’re full off assumptions
Phaedra doesn’t have a mortuary, or a funeral home, or funeral business, or go into her law office, allegedly. Bravo is really her only paying job. Allgedly.

Also this was first posted after filming for last season had wrapped. Not sure if the pills STARTED in February but they were first reported in February.

Yeah, she exhibits classic signs of maybe painkillers or easily benzos. She’s late all the time, doesn’t show up for things, I mean, there aren’t a ton of scenes where she is actually doing much. She’s so sedate, making her mean little comments. Her talking heads are where we see most of her opinions and thoughts and snappy one-liners. In actual scenes she’s like a blob, making ugly faces, who looks like she’d rather be anywhere else. When she actually does anything, she seems sluggish, even when she gets upset. I mean, think of when she confronts Kenya or Apollo–it’s like it’s in slow motion and she sure as hell has that “couldn’t care less” attitude when it comes to a lot of things.
I would be interested in looking at how much she drinks. It seems like she kind of just sips drinks, but I could be wrong. If she’s taking pills and guzzling alcohol, I think we’d see some more erratic behavior. But in my recollection, she’s not drinking too much.
YES I completely agree with you. In addition to keeping up her belle facade, a lot of benzo and opioid users don’t drink because it aggitates the negative side effects.
Oh really? And what exact negative “side effects” are you reverencing in your seemingly ignorance of the subject?
You’re joking right? You must be fucking joking.
List the “side effects” that alcohol agitates.
Doctors always talk about how addictive Xanax is… IDGI. I have been taking it for years. In very small doses when flying (not for flying anxiety I love flying but I can get very claustrophobic on a 10 hour flight home from Europe in a metal tube I can’t get out of) and for panic attack. I am running low now and need to go get a refill. I had a script for 30 pills of 1 mg. I usually only take half. I am borderline narcoleptic and it doesn’t make me sleepy or give me any effect other than slowing my hyperactive heart rate. I just looked and it’s been five months since I filled the script. I need to refill fast and then refill again in a month and that should last me at least a until June again and probably longer. Xanax is super cheap, but I have to pay a shit ton to the psych to get a script. 🙁
I do know my gaybor had BARS of Xanax. I don’t get the recreational use. For me it just keeps me from freaking out. There is nothing about it that has any sort of feel good effect. It just keeps me from feeling bad.
Sorry oversharing. Again.

So basically you want me to spoonfeed you basic knowledge after replying to my comment in a way that insinuates you know better than me?
First off, mixing alcohol and benzos is a recipe for death. There is no combination more deadly besides speed balling. Alcohol is a depressant and benzos are a FAMILY OF TRANQUILIZERS. You can pop a few xanax or valium, etc. and feel the positive calming affects however you also have to deal with the negatives of drowsiness and general “zombieness” after repeated use. Alcohol, up to the ceiling point, enhances energy and provides mood elevation, until you start experiencing the negative side effects that hopefully I won’t have to explain to you as well.
I’m not talking about someone who has a beer with their limited, one-time prescription and thinks its awesome. As your tolerence increases, theres an inverse relation between needing a higher dosage yet experiencing less of the positive side effects and more of the negative. Mixing both alcohol and benzos exasperates this, pretty much each substance taking away from the other until you’re left with double the neurological disruption.
There are millions of functioning addicts out there. They can be alcoholics, or they can be benzo dependent, or they can be alternating usage between the two. If they’re dependent on both simeltanioualy, chances are they aren’t functioning – or won’t be for long.
Utterly ridiculous.

Sorry Tamara but you yourself literally just said “IDGI” in reference to benzodiazepines addiction. I have worked directly for many years of my life. Just because you take a low dose of Xanax and mix it with some boxed wine every now and then doesn’t negate what I said. I actually specifically said that.
What I said isn’t really an opinion. This is readily available information that can be easily googled
I’m not arguing the facts. I am just saying as someone who takes Xanax, I don’t understand the “recreational” aspects. To me it’s like an aspirin sometimes you get a headache you take an aspirin it goes away. You don’t think, wow I feel really great on aspirin. I’m going to take it all the time! You don’t think about aspirin again until you have another headache.
I’m just telling you my experience. I’ve always thought it was weird that it’s a street drug.

I mean for fucks safe I took 45 seconds to google “mixing alcohol and benzos” and there were pages upon pages of awareness websites.
“Despite considerable evidence to demonstrate the dangers of combing alcohol and benzos, this problem remains one of the most common causes of intoxication-related hospital admissions and accidents.”
“Alcohol performs a nearly identical function by depressing central nervous system activity. When combined, the two drugs magnify each other’s effects”
I’m not going to sit here and debate merits of science and standard industry knowledge like when Bill Nye went on Fox News and had to explain to the talking heads, in the nicest possible way, that volcanoes have nothing to do with global warming.
Wait… People are joking about there being no problem with mixing benzos/pain pills and alcohol, right? It’s like benzos 101. Pain pills are also like that with alcohol.
Tamara, you are using your Xanax prescription exactly how it is supposed to be used. It’s daily, regular use that leads to dependence.
I don’t know if Phaedra is addicted, or if she’s just popping some of her own happy pills–and it looks like a good number of commenters agree. And yeah, she has a lot of stress. Very likely she’s got a Rx if it is pills, but that doesn’t mean someone is always taking them safely.
TT, you asked! That’s my opinion, and I’ll be watching closely next season.
I actually have mixed benzos with wine when flying (flight anxiety). I was out like a light. I felt completely relaxed though, so #worthit
Judge if you wish. For me its better than having a full on panic attack, crying and shaking and hyperventilating every time the plane hits bad turbulence.
BKS:
No judgement here. We used to swear that the directions on my mom’s prescription for Xanax said “take one with scotch at bedtime as needed”.
It really did calm her down – she had such anxiety when drive long distances. And it’s not like it was a daily thing or she was mixing meds.
Psylocke, you listed exactly one side effect. You made it sound as though you had more than one. That was very deceptive.
Jae – exactly. For me it’s like a 2-3 times a year thing. I still have half the prescription left after a year. I’m pretty healthy/normal otherwise 🙂
I can see benzos also, it makes perfect sense. When she’s on camera all of her behavior is a bit off but she is so chill at the same time…I will pay more attention this season!
Sorry… what are benzos?
And what are the effects?
BB:
Benzodiazepines such as Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, etc. Primarily used as anti-anxiety meds.
I don’t see it, but I haven’t paid her much attention.
“Benzodiazepines work by affecting the way certain brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) transmit messages to certain brain cells. In effect, they decrease the excitability of many brain cells. This has a calming effect on various functions of the brain.”
A very simple google search can help.
*I think a link to the medical page is against the rules..
Referencing*
Psylocke is spot on in her explanation of mixing alcohol and pills. Every functioning pill popper I’ve ever known won’t touch alcohol and it’s for the very reasons Psylocke stated. That and the fact that it’s a lethal combination to mix. Every celebrity who has died from over dosing on pills was also mixing them with alcohol. I can’t think of a single time this wasn’t the case. I’m surprised at the people on here who are almost advocating doing this, it’s so dangerous. I’m not talking about people who take them occasionally but people who are addicted and take them daily.
Like TT, I don’t get the xanax thing, how people would like that “high”. I’ve only used them for anxiety and couldn’t stand the loopy feeling. I’ve heard it’s popular to snort them as well.
Totally agree. One scene in particular comes to mind. Remember hen she was at the restaurant with Apollo and they were going over the Kenya situation and he was saying that he could have smashed if he wanted. And in Phaedra’s talking head, she said something like “I want to stab Apollo with my steak knife right now” Remember that glazed over sleepy look in her eyes, slurred speech, etc. I can totally see it.
Funny, that is one of the very first scenes that popped into my head, too!
Sure, I believe it.
I think it’d be best to first narrow down what her drug of choice is – are we talking prescription uppers, street uppers, benzodiazepines, or opioids? I would say the latter which could explain her weight gain and overall sluggishness.
I definitely could see her being a pill popper – she’s proven herself to be at the maximum levels of delusion, and a lot of people actually believe if its given by a doctor it’s not technically “a drug” so the stigma isn’t attached.
My southern grandmother is a devoted Church of Christ and has never drank a sip of alcohol in her life, but is a ragging drug addict of 40+ years with all her different prescriptions.
There’s an entire southern culture of “mommy’s little helpers” Christians that rely on being medicated via ‘legal’ prescriptions
Actually if no ones ever heard of it, there’s a movie and subsequent tv show called “sordid lives” that’s a satire on this sect of southern culture. It. Is. Fucking. HILARIOUS.
If you live in the south it’s a must.
Leslie Jordan (the little guy from Will & Grace) plays a Tammy Wynette impersonator that gets institutionalized.
Holy fuck! How did I not know about this show and how to I watch it?
I want to know where to watch it too.
So, people on opiods are fat and slow? Are you just uninformed or just stupid?
Just highly experienced.
The real question why are you so defensive? This isn’t about you or whatever prescriptions you have — get over it.
It’s okay if you disagree, eel. TT just asked our thoughts. You think not, right?
Hi BH Wannabe, are you asking me if I think Phaedra takes pills? Or? I really have no opinion on Phaedra’s pill taking. She may or may not be on pills from what I’ve seen.
Oh, ok, Capt! I assumed you had an opinion, but now I’d be interested if you eventually form one…
…Then again, of all the HW issues, one has to pick & choose which issues to devote one’s attention to. Man, watching Bravo is exhausting!
😉
I live in N.E Kentucky. And this area is the pill Capitol of the world!! There was even a program on 20/20 ( I think) called the oxy express. And it is filmed in my area. I am not on medication. But 90% of the people around here are. And the majority of the folks on pain meds. Are super super skinny. Mainly because they misuse them. And from what I understand from a friend who is a drug and alcohol counselor here. It doesn’t take long to become addicted for most people. And of course as with any addiction. They build up a tolerance. So to get that ” euphoria” that they end up striving for , they end up taking more and more. And from what I have heard, pain medication and alcohol mixed is very nauseating to them. Probably because they are over using the pain meds. I have no personal experience other than it’s on every corner around here. Or was!! Legislation has about shut them all down. ( drs that is. Or scared them to death) so NOW…. They have gone to heroin. Or that’s the way it is looking on the news.
Sorry but I’m not sure I believe it. I can see her having enough stress and possible anxiety that she might catch 2 hrs naps in her office. And she might be taking some prescription meds, but putting this “popping pills” out there seems to be something everyone gets accused of. If you said Brandi, of course I would believe it! I think we can all agree that in the land of housewives, ANTHING IS POSSIBLE! By the way Tamara, do you have sources at Bravo? I’m curious if they do any background checks before them hire people to star in one of the shows? I kinda picture them doing a little digging and knowing that some of the stars have skeletons!
Sad, but yes I can believe it. Phaedra is always calm no matter how piss she gets.
The previews shows her trying to hit Kenya which is not something she would do normally. She use to use her words.
Between Apollo’s sentence, the embarrassment of a thug husband her fake personality is now on display and she can’t handle it.
Kenya is probably laughing her ass off to Phaedra’s face.
If I was her I would be drunk all the time. Yup my guess she is taking Xanax.
I can totally believe this. It’s actually one of the things about the RHOA that I won’t waste time questioning lol
My grandmother use to drink a pint of gin a day and never needed glasses, she drank straight from the bottle.
ha (sorry)
I’m going to give her a pass on this. If its opiates, they have a lot of surgerys, benzos are easier to get but I don’t see it. Just my opinion, she don’t act like Kim Richards. Always in the minority :).
Not always in the minority 😉 ZenJen
Yes. Could totally see it. Pills numb your feelings and emotions. Once you are addicted you bypass the feeling of drowsiness and sedation (I’m assuming we are talking pain pills) you get bursts of energy from it and need them for motivation to do ANYTHING. I’ve actually seen a lot of women, especially ones who were used to being independent and/or working, and once they have a couple of children, mostly ones that have them close in age, and become addicted bc they are frustrated with the monotony of the routine. They feel trapped in a way, unable to come and go and do as they used to, and it’s just hard. I hope Phaedra was smarter than this and this really is a rumor.
Bwahahahaha!
Not believing Phaedra being a pill popper. Nope! I could believe her going through depression. Depression is a very scary thing. Depressed people can sleep all day and still be tired.
I expect to see many more outrageous stories about RHOA cast members leading to the premiere. Bravo is on payroll for a few pop culture media sites. I believe NOTHING unless it originates on TT’s site.
I’m very curious about another new addition’s tea that hasn’t been spilled yet. It’s pretty well known in LA. We shall see.
I think this is a possibility. I’d like to watch more . But I wouldn’t rule out depression (even if I lean towards pills, IMO.)
Well spill it now Lurker!
Under her current situation with Apollo and Angela she probably is taking Xanex but that doesn’t mean she’s addicted to them. A lot of people take them temporarily.
I have several pill addicts in my immediate family (opiates) and Phaedra seems much sharper (at least with her tongue) than my relatives. Not sure what my opinion is on the matter. I actually love Phaedra’s on screen personality… might be the only one.
I watched a coworker once pop a pill before starting her second shift (she had been there all day) and I asked my boss how she was going to be able to function after doing that,…I said I would be passed out. (It was pain medication that I watched her buy in the store) My boss who happens to be my cousin said “she does the pills TO FUNCTION…it’s when she stops taking them that there is a problem.” In order for Phaedra to pass out it could be something new or she could really really be taking too many..
It was narcotics bought off the street illegally…my cousin bought them too. that place was a drug haven. she wasn’t sick or anything. she was an addict who functioned when she was high..but when withdrawal hit and she couldn’t get her hands on anything she couldn’t work for weeks so she wasn’t dependable. I got away from there.
Not surprised…big fan of CDAN for years and he is a drug addict insider and he has been right with his blind items over the years. He is a self-admitted addict and he does seem to be right when it comes to who is on drugs in the industry. I can’t believe that anyone is surprised about Phaedra…I mean I have seen pretty questionable confessionals with eyes half shut and squinting…Is she on some downers in order to work through her issues? Isn’t most people?
I don’t believe Enty is a drug addict. He talks about himself and drinking, and is very hard on drug users, like Lohan, Paris Hilton’s brother, etc. He is what he said he is , a lawyer in the Entertainment industry. He was shown in the shadows on an E special about Hollywood earlier this year.
Enty was the one earlier this year that said Mick Jagger’s girlfriend was seriously unhinged, and a few days later, she committed suicide.
Yep. He’s is consistently right. That’s the reason I posted it.

As a blogger, I know how much time it takes to blog EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY and that site is pimped out to the max on Ads. I don’t think a celebrity or anyone with a fulltime job is running that site. I think he was a lawyer in the entertainment industry has great contacts and is blogging now on a very lucrative site.

I’ve always loved the Robert Downey Jr rumor regarding Enty…I don’t think he’s a drug addict, but I do believe he’s now contracting out alot of his writing, the writing styles are sooo different lately, from day to day…but other than that, the site is a kick and you can’t just read the blog it’s a MUST that you read the comments.
In light of this revelation, this info might possibly explain Apollo’s need for rehab in prison, asidre from the obvious sentence shaving. He may actually be an addict. Often if one spouse is using, so is the other. It could also possibly explain why he and Phaedra have remained “together” as long as they have. (Well, amongst other things, lol) (and yes I could just be grasping at straws here)
Well everyone figured out it wasnt Robert when he went to rehab, that is an old rumor. Enty’s website was brought out by Gawker Media years ago, but he still blogs blind items of course.
Forgot to mention, TT you are right, he is consistent.. year after year..Definitely on the drug scene. THe celebrities are comfortable with him, he often places himself at the scene of the drug intake frequently..The lawyer story is something to throw the celebs off…
Robert Downy Jr is the commenter Hmmmmm on CDAN. He is NOT Enty Lawyer. He hasn’t commented in a while either.
I do believe this about Phaedra though. Enty is spot on a lot of the time.
Phaedra is probably popping xanax or ativan. I also think she is on an anti depressant. Those can really cause weight gain. We used to say Paxil: packs the pounds on. Heavy duty opiate use usually causes weight loss. How ever so many people are on lots of drugs. Chronic pain sufferers, especially fibromyalgia patients, get pumped full of antidepressents, lyrica, related to an anti seizure drug, and maybe opioids, like tramadol. Lyrica really packs on the pounds.
Phædra is going through tough times. I’m sure she got some heavy duty meds.
I thought Phaedra was taking diet pills.
I take a phentermine tablet every morning. Been doing it for about 2 yrs now. I’ve tried to stop. If i do not take the pill, I can’t get out of bed.
I know some very functional addicts so I don’t put it past anybody, she does exhibit some signs but nothing guaranteed. I don’t know why she’d sleep on the floor of all places though….
