In the lead up to Phaedra Parks appearance on The Ellen Show next week, her press representative, Steve Honig has reportedly told E! News exclusively, “[She] has retained an attorney with the intent of amicably ending her marriage.” And that boys and girls is the shortest exclusive in tabloid history. It’s not even a complete sentence. And it’s also bizarre. Does anyone believe this is an amicable divorce?
I got several emails about this turn of events ( Thanks! They are much appreciated) and so I went to look for some sort of statement and it’s a sentence fragment given to one site? Does this seem weird to anyone else?
Is Phaedra going on The Ellen Show to announce her divorce? Is that the southern belle way according to Phaedra Parks? This is all kind of ridiculous.
In other inbox news, the neighbors are starting to wonder where the heck the boys are. They say they haven’t seen hair nor hide of them in quite a while, but Phaedra has been around.
I’m pretty sure we all knew Phaedra would divorce Apollo months ago when they went weeks at a time without crossing paths on their individual pre-prison tours. Or at least when the Season 7 trailer was released that shows Apollo claiming Phaedra cheated on him. Or all the rumors about Apollo cheating on her. I mean, this was a no brainer.
The worst part about RHOA this season is so much focus will be on Pheadra. I don’t think she will ever grow on me like most of the other housewives. I have seen her colors and I don’t like them. If she becomes a mature, humble person, maybe I can give her a chance? I just don’t think it will ever happen however, she is a very selfish, manipulative person. I almost feel bad for hating a person that I have never met.
Sadly, even though we all saw it coming it will be a focus. I don’t think that will ever happen for me either. I never liked her…too much putting on airs for me. In spite of it all, she still couldn’t contain her own dirty laundry.
If she was more authentic she would be much easier to like.
Very good point, Microop.
Even though I think Phaedra is the mastermind of Apollogate, I rather hear about her than Zumanity and closing out Cinderella. Btw did anyone see Nene Extra. She told Tracey Edmonds that Joan Rivers was unreplaceable. She definitely said unreplaceable but all the print copies of the interview says irreplaceable.
I’m sure brye-maids Nene said unreplaceable.
This divorce should be legally interesting if it does not go as amicably suggested. I can’t remember hearing if there is a prenuptial agreement. Apollo may have some hooks in the martial property. How??? In a lot of states if you do work/maintenance or repairs on a home not titled in your name, Such as repairs on the property that puts equity into the home— there may be a claim to be paid for the equity in the home based on those repairs, and did martial money go toward the purchase or repair of the home. Apollo also could in the divorce can claim she knew about the fraud benefited from the money and used the money on property titled in her name. Thus, she should share in the martial debt of the restitution. Again, there are a lot of specifics I don’t know about their case but these are common arguments in separating estates. Should be very interesting. And that is not even getting into the custody issues.
I believe Apollo told Todd that he signed a prenup
Yeah she and Apollo have both said on the show that they had a prenup. Don’t mess with this girl’s money…I suspect this is why she and Kandi have bonded so closely. Good on both of them. I think Apollo being locked up while the divorce is going on is going to limit him a bit. I hope he doesn’t get out of the clink and hound her for custody just to get child support or some b.s. like that, he’ll be in there for so long (hopefully) that she can get herself and her kids started on a new path. I don’t think Apollo is someone I would like to have as an ex. My guess is he can be a vindictive s.o.b. if he wants to, judging from his handling of Kenya.
Microop summed it up perfectly. Phaedra needs to be ‘authentic’. There’s not a facial expression or move that lady makes that hasn’t been practiced in a mirror a thousand times before. She seems to be playing (overplaying?) a part – that of the grande dame/Southern belle, but she’s got it all wrong. She’s a parody. Her slow, overly-enunciated speech pattern (which miraculously disappears when she forgets herself and lets loose), her hair tosses, the eye-rolling? Come on Phaedra, forget all the phoniness and act real. Maybe I could stomach you a little more then. As it is, you’re the reason I don’t watch RHOA.
Yup.
Don’t feel bd. You’re not alone.
Faketra’s problem is that she was to busy trying to sell herself as something she is not – this over-the-top southern belle attorney. She has tried over and over again to portray this image, yet her skeleton’s (Angela Stanton), ex & repeat fellon huzzzzband (Apollo) has tarnished that image. She needs to take a seat.

Well, shuck my corn and churn my buttermilk!! I hope Phaedra is not going on Ellen to make this revelation. I would prefer for her to reveal Mr. Chocolate’s name and confirm who Ayden’s father is. She should appear on Murray, not Ellen. IJS-SMH
I believe the boys are in Athens with Phaedra’s mother and other family members. I hope she is trying to protect them and not use them to gain sympathy for herself ala Tre and her dauwters.
I’m guessing Appollo’s new favorite snack in prison is Cheese Toast because he will be ratting Phaedra out. Amicable divorce my ass!
One can only hope.
I’d read a truthful book by Apollo revealing all about Phaedra. Does he have anything to loose in terms of his legal case, he’s already convicted? As long as he sticks to the truth, what can she really do to him? I think Angela’s publisher must have been chicken shit.
He may want assurance Phaedra is taking care of the boys is the only reason I see him wanting to protect her. In 8 years, she would he fair game, but who will remember either one of them by then.
Amicable depending on the amount of the settlement and/or alimony. And yes I know there was a pre jump, but with Apollo hinting about a tell all, she just may cough up some hush hush money.
Appollo is NOT going quietly.
He’s paying the price and Phaedra’s living the life. I think not.
I use to like Phaedra, but now I know why Kenya keep calling fake.
She even lied about her due date!
I did too. Know we know why Kenya calls her Shady Phay Phay.
Well I guess he just might testify against her when her time comes.
And the time will come. Phraedra Parks is not innocent of knowingly and willingly marrying a twice convicted felon. She had no problem with it because she has a criminal mind. I can’t wait until they find something to bring a charge against her. They won’t quit trying to get her until they do.
goldenindigo, loved the play on Maury lol, but don’t forget the strong possibility of a second appearance on Jerry Springer. Maybe she could talk Kenya into joining her. A little weave pulling, some name calling like head doctor for Phaedra and washed up Miss America Ho for Kenya and the paternity tests for Prince Ayden and Mr. President.
I’m still wondering why Ellen is having her on the show. You mean the audience will applaud when she introduces Phaedra? I am having a hard time picturing this. I can’t imagine Ellen knows anything about Phaedra. This woman deserves Teresa’s fate, is a sociopath parading around like a southern belle, in short, slapping us all in the face with a wet glove. RHOA may be a very short season for me. I see why she is building a wall around her property; there are people who feel the same way I feel about her with a lot less self-control who might bust her upside her head. She needs a gate and body armor. Sickens me she’s going on Ellen to put on that fake face again. Seriously.
The audience will clap either way because the applause sign will be on. So even if they don’t want to, or don’t even know who she is, they will still clap. It will be in no way an indication of how they feel about her though.
Forgot about the applause sign. Still makes me sick. I hope TT will have a clip of the intro. One can only hope she gets some boo’s.
I liked Phaedra during season 3 and 4. While all the other girls were fighting and screaming, she would sit back and make hilarious facial expressions (she’d usually be eating) and make cute little comments during her talking heads.
Season 5 really showed Phaedra’s true colors. She’s been downright mean and nasty towards Kenya. Her character has gotten really dark ever since Kenya joined the show.
Same! Her reaction faces are the best. She is so GIF-able. But yeah, she hates Kenya so so much – it seems like there were major issues going on in her marriage and she was maybe using those annoying Kenya/Apollo rumors as the focus of her anger, rather than deal with the bigger problem (like the fact that he’s a criminal and they were both cheating on each other, allegedly) I’ve never been a Kenya fan but maybe a bit of Phaedra’s hate was undeserved. She definitely got the best of her. I bet she is laughing her ass off right now.
Eating being the primary thing she does. Those Puerto Rico pictures were scary, especially seeing her in that SAME tired mesh “coverup”/lingerie
IN LOVE with Phaedra’s stank face and side eye!! The best!
I think Phaedra will move back to Athens and open a business with Willie Watkins. She’s divorcing Apollo and I bet in the decree Apollo agrees to NOT write a tell-all for a certain amount of money. When you’re locked up and in the middle of a divorce the other spouse has the upper hand.
She’s spent an awful lot of money on her new house just to pick up and move to Athens.
Tamara said Phaedra got a good deal on the house. I look for Phaedra to move, since she probably want get that gate and fence approved.
That money was from the apollo fund, which is where she got the money to spend on those over the top birthday parties. She’s just as quilty.
I can not even imagine Phaedra in Athens, ugh she left the hedges long ago. The famous people that live in the area tend to be very low key. I doubt her black southern belle crap would fly. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Athen is low key, tthat would be the exact reason to move there. Phaedra does not do a lot of appearances outside of the show. Right now she is selling her book.
She should move to charleston. Lots of people do that fake southern belle crap there, she would fit in, and when she wants to get drunk and dirty and be her true self Savannah is only two hours away.
I don’t think Willie would have anything to do with her. He doesn’t need her, she needs him. He has nothing to gain by partnering with her. He’s already established in his field.
Phaedra Parks is a classic example of a corrupt attorney who has yet to be found guilty of violating the law. She has proven on national television to be a big liar and slick manipulator of whatever suits her fancy until she is done using anything or anyone including Apollo Nida.
Blunt, I agree. She is smarter than we think. She has played it very safe in regards to her divorce announcement. I have no doubt she’s waiting for the BIG pay day. She will find a way to milk it. Watch!
I usually don’t comment on Phaedra, but I don’t dislike her. But wow why so much hate? She’s just as fake as anyone else on this show.
Lot’s of Kenya fans!
Yes, but is she a bit more hypocritical?
I feel the same. Geez, you’d think she committed 41 counts or something the way people are talking. I find the entire cast of RHOA awful and it’s my least favorite of the franchise. She and Kandy are the most tolerable imo. Her schtick seems to tick people off. I find it less offensive than loud and vulgar.
Honestly I think she would have more than 41 counts if somehow her dealings came to light – maybe she’ll get hit by a stray KGB truth serum dart or something.
Are you familiar with Angela Stanton? The recent deposition Tamara covered? You’ll definitely start to understand why people around here feel the way they do.
Yeah, read up on Phaedra. She’s a little more than just mean. Plus she’s yucky. Like that bachelorette party she threw for Kandi that Kandi couldn’t even handle. And it’d be one thing to be helping prostitutes get off the streets, but she’s practically pimping them out. From what has come to light about her (and some of her own claims), she is really not a good person. Like beyond annoying or rude. We’re talking about exploiting some of the most vulnerable people in societty.
I predict apollo’s popularity will increase on the backend of his release. Before he entered the pen, he should’ve demanded paternity testing on the second baby boy who looks nothing like him whereas Ayden can be seen as his son. Apollo has kept many secrets and will be entitled to tell all because his wife truly abandoned him in a very bad way in public to suggest that she never loved Apollo. He will prove to be the most painful thorn in her side if he plays his cards right once he’s free again. I also think Apollo think twice before doing anything illegal again.
The best, and imo the only way for Appollo’s “popularity” to rise is if/when he finally decides to throw his mastermind wife under the bus.
And if he does, his popularity in prison will probably also rise, but in a less than desirable way. I sure do hope that happens though. That would be AMAZING!
LOL When Apollo gets out none of us will remember who he is. RHOA will be a distant memory.

TT, I know you did alot of research on his case, I was wondering why Apollo got 8 years and the Guidices only got 41 months (3 yrs, 5 months and 14 months). I know the cases are different, but I thought the Guidices had alot of charges against them, but there sentence seem so much lighter than Apollo.

I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Apollo does not have a “brand”, despite what he thinks. By the time he gets out everyone will be saying “Apollo who?”
He may just come out and write a book about her lol
And by the time that happens, like TT said above, nobody will remember who he or she are. Reality “stars” have a short shelf life once their show is over and RHOA is nearing its end.
You should never use the word “backend” in conjuction with prison.
🙂
Really? Apollo sure didn’t think twice about going back into crime after his first stint.
Ya know I just don’t hate Phaedra. I mean she is WAY over the top, but, hell so are half of my southern family! And even though I can’t stand Kenya I tjink Phaedra took out her marriage problems on her. She’s just not the worst housewife, or the best for that matter. I am interested to see if she has made any personal changes with all she has been through the last year.
Wait….she RETAINED AN ATTORNEY??? That doesn’t make anyone else laugh???
Even Phaedra doesnt trust herself to be her own attorney. Hahahaha…and the other party is in jail…
i’m sure they’ll be co-counsels.
Like 2 “heads” are better than one?
Most attorneys do not represent themselves in divorces.
Welcome back TC!
Was I gone?
Clearly you were. Then natives have been running amuck and begging for discipline.
I wasn’t! I’ve commented. I read the blogs. I can’t take the comments sometimes. There are only so many times I can tell the idiots that they are idiots. The Guidice stuff just makes me super sad. I pretty much want Andy cohen’s head on a pike. I loathe the glee and authoritarian stance her as taken. Fuck his stupid untalented gaping asshole.
Oh. I forgot to consider that you would likely be crestfallen by Tre’s plight. #ThoughtandPrayers

Yeah, I missed everyone freaking out at Teecee’s comments. No one filled that void.

Quick question…Does anyone know how Phaedra makes money besides the Housewives show? She seems to be involved in a ton of different careers but I don’t ever hear of her actually working.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Andy will be irate for not getting the announcement in the clubhouse
Apollo will not go silently into that good night. He will rage against pheadra….probably in the firm of a tell all or…to the feds. Only problem..he comes off like a jilted lover and she will just say he is lying.
Phaedra is practicing damage control pre-season
