Parks v. Stanton – Order Denying Motion to Dismiss, Motion for Summary Judgment, as to Defendant’s Counterclaims
In this litigation, plaintiff Phaedra Parks sued our client, Angela Stanton, alleging that Stanton’s memoir, Lies of a Real Housewife, was defamatory. Stanton filed counterclaims for tortious interference with contract and bad faith litigation, alleging that Parks’ lawsuit was frivolous and was designed to shut down the publication of truthful information. Parks filed motions to dismiss the counterclaims, and for summary judgment as to the counterclaims. In the orders below, the court denies Parks’ motions.
A hearing is set on Stanton’s motion for summary judgment as to Parks’ original lawsuit on April 20, 2015 in the Gwinnett County State Court.
Link to Attorney Radford’s blog.
What all of that means is this, the Judge on this case, Carla E. Brown, who works at a glacial pace rivaled only by Judge Sherry Stephens of Maricopa County, has finally ruled on some motions from about a year ago. Back when Phaedra refused to sit for a deposition as the plaintiff her own dame case, Radford pointed out that the plaintiff kind of has to say what they think is untrue in the book they are claiming is defamatory. She also has to be open to deposition by opposing counsel. Phaedra has been screwing around with this case for YEARS. I seem to recall hearing it was the oldest one on her docket some time ago. So Radford filed to have the case thrown out and for a summary judgment. Then Phaedra’s attorney filed for the same thing. She asked the judge to throw out Stanton’s countersuit and when that didn’t work she asked for a summary judgment. That was also denied.
What the judge did agree to is to hear Angela’s case for a judgment in her favor on April 20th. (Also the day that pot heads celebrate Hitler’s birthday or something.) She could have just ruled against Angela the way she did Phaedra, but Angela is getting a hearing which means it is likely that Angela will finally get a favorable ruling next month.
Finally. God willing and the creek don’t rise.
If you missed any of my posts on this, I highly recommend them. I love reading a depo and hearing the plaintiff called a “head doctor.” Check them out here.
This stuff is difficult even for a lawyer to follow-thank you for breaking it down. I believe the hearing is a positive thing. I could never quite grasp how Miss Phaedra was able to skirt this entire debacle. I personally cannot see how she married a fraudulent felon, who then participated again in fraud, and that she was completely absolved. Anyway, I can only hope the justice system will have the courage to do the right thing.
Exciting! I hope they address this at the reunion!
From your mouth to God’s ears! Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
Look on, that’d be awesome, but I bet Andy won’t go there. *sigh*
I doubt Andy would bring it up he would have done so years ago.
From what I studied in college, Phaedra should be disbarred. Her conduct as an attorney is deplorable. She is knee deep in illegal activity and continues to evade questions by opposing counsel. This was her deposition and she did not answer one question. That should be telling the Georgia State Bar something. I can bet you ten to one, she is under investigation by the Feds. She should definitely lose her license to practice law.
Of course she is going to lose her license to practice that why she doing the mortuary thing.
What was that society that honored her at the beginning of the season? She wore some white pants and a tank top I think?
I’ve been wondering how she is still any kind of member of the Bar or any Bar Associations at all. Her conduct on tv alone is HIGHLY unbecoming of an “officer of the court” as she states. Not to mention all these shady dealings on the side.
Hmm that head doctor better use her head to come up with another deterrent!
Tee hee hee!
She can’t dispute the head doctor title or they will simply summon her “best friend” Nene to confirm that she earned the title years ago. Or if she is too busy “cashing Trump checks” they can just roll the RHOA tape.
Nene got it from the book tho.
Nene just jumped on the bandwagon. I haven’t read the book ( I know, I know books are for VACATIONS that I don’t get!) But in the depositions linked to in the post, one of Angela’s jailed exes says that Phaedra was known as the head doctor.

Psst! The
Book is a quick read, less than a day. It’s not a vacation, it’s work. Do a review for the blog readers.
I think I did read some of it at the time… I have enough reading to do reading your borderline offensive comments all day.

Touche and too funny. Please let the countdown to the smiting begin. 28 days, 27 days, 26 days,… 😀
This is great news, thanks Tamara. At last Angela should be able to publish her excellent book. I commend her for struggling so hard to get the truth out to the public concerning that low life multiple dick sucking felon to be, Parks.
The book has been published and is available on Amazon.
Oh honey you can still buy her book. And everyone really should. http://www.amazon.com/Lies-Real-Housewife-Truth-Shame/dp/1935883631
And I may or may not have more information for you soon. 🙂 Let’s just say I am following this situation very closely.

Thanks, TT, I’ve been wondering what was happening with this snail-pace of a case.
Oh my those comments on there are quite candid!
That fake, phony, head doctor slut is as big of a crook as the jailbird trick she bought fresh out the pen. If Fakedra’s mouth is moving she is lying. This is the same woman who slid her hard up man buying butt up in the projects at 3am, laid on the floor trying to trap the felon she bought by getting knocked up. I’m hoping like hell that the F.B.I is just rocking her butt to sleep by making her think that Apollo is the only one who will be locked up for the crimes THEY committed. Fakedra is a master crook and slut and I believe every word A. Stanton said. I hope the feds are still working on this slick, greasy, shady lowlife crook and that she will be in a cell soon. Right next to the trick she paid good money for. Apollo the felon told her and her mother on national TV that he didn’t want to marry her anyway!*
I read Angelas book.phaedra is such a f’n snake
I did too. I never liked her and I thought that she had some skeletons but that book was next – level. still shocked me.
Chile you aint never lied. I really think most people have never heard of Angela’s book because I sit in bewilderment most times like “WTF!? Do they know who they’re talking to!?”
I read Angela Stantons book also (about 2yrs ago) and it was a quick read, with a lot of miscellaneous stuff in it. But when she got into her relationship with Phaedra, and how they go waaay back in their criminal activity and Phaedras’ and Apollos’ involvement in it all, it was a page turner that connects the dots. Phaedra is dirty, she plays dirty and you become her friend at your own risk (ask Apollo and Angela) She thinks she smarter than everyone in the room. If Teresa Guidice can go to jail, Phaedra should too. I hope Angela Stanton wins her case and that Phaedra has to pay her.
Thank you once again for this current information.
Well hopefully this means Jesus will in fact fix it and this horrid shrew Fakedra will start her rapid descent into Dante’s Inferno
Thank you for the update. I’ve been wondering about this case for some time now. Last week phaedra told Kandi she’s not worried about money. Why should she be??? I guarantee you she’s plenty worried about Attorney Radford though! He’s coming for her. She better be worried about Apollo turning state on her nasty, lying, fix-it-jesus behind! Go Angela!!! You have people pulling for you everywhere.
I thought it was very tacky and cheeky of Phaedra to brag about all the money she had when she was on Kandi’s ass about not being a loyal friend. She said something like if money were able to give a good night’s sleep she’d be sleeping like a baby but friendship is what she really needed.
So where is all of this money coming from? Certainly not from her phony law practice nor her church beggings and book signings. And she bought the house awhile back and I doubt that her house and luxury cars, not to mention the designer clothes, shoes, and purses as well as all her jewels would all be coming off a non-existent law career and her RHOA salary.
Figure in her “staff’s” salaries and the taxes, insurance, and upkeep of the house (maybe she doesn’t keep up with that though) and there’s no way she could be living that high off the hog on just what she claims to earn legitimately.
Many years ago an acquaintance who’s a lawyer told me, when I asked why he chose something like law, was because it was a “license to steal”. So it’s the profession of choice for those who intend on becoming criminals if they have the brains for it. Guess that’s why I always just worked and paid taxes, because I’m just not smart enough to lie awake at night and plot this kind of stuff. Not to mention always looking behind my back and worrying when the hammer would come down. Phaedra’s fans apparently admire her for being able to do this kind of thing and remain unscathed. She’s their criminal hero. And how does all of that fit in with all of the “christian” values?
@Nancy I really enjoyed what you wrote.
