Phaedra Parks Strange Interview With Page Six

March 24, 2016 by tamaratattles 45 Comments

RHOA Phaedra Divorce Atty

 

I’ve been staring at this Page Six story someone sent me for quite some time. I am literally speechless. The first thing I did was note the author, Jaclyn Hendricks  so I know to disregard anything with her name on it.  Clearly this writer must be a fan of Phaedra. She is scary proof that there are people out there that are buying what Phaedra is selling.   Then I looked her up on Twitter. I asked her if this piece was supposed to run on April 1st.  I wasn’t be sarcastic. I was dead serious. It’s unfathomable to me that someone could take this post seriously.  Phaedra Parks Practices Law by Day, Embalms Bodies At Night is the most hilarious tabloid headline ever.  It’s less plausible than a headline about a Yeti sighting with a grainy picture of someone in a white fur in the distance, (Oh Lord, I’ve triggered the fur judgment. Is it okay to wear fur if you are a Yeti?)

Anyway, not to be all dramatic but my heart is being wonky today (no big deal it just happens sometimes it just makes me not feeling like blogging much)  so I’m just going to post this whole thing in its entirety because every single word is…just astounding.

Phaedra Parks Takes Her Attempts at Humor to a Whole New Level

Phaedra Parks‘ 9-to-5 combines her two passions: the law and the dead.

“I practice law five days a week, and if I’m embalming a body, it’s usually overnight,” the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star told Page Six Thursday. “It’s the quietest time of the night that you’re doing the embalming work.”

The 44-year-old mom of two, who embalmed her own grandmother in 2012, also shared that she’s able to divide her time because the ventures are so different.

“The funeral business is really an overnight and weekend business,” Parks explained. “Saturday is the funeral day for people of color, usually. And of course, the courthouses and law firms are closed on Saturdays.”

Her desire to work in the funeral industry stemmed from back-to-back years of non-stop tragedy.

“I went through a very terrible time about two years straight. My sister passed, my law partner died and two of my friends committed suicide,” she said. “I became so depressed that it sparked something in me, to really research and start hanging out at the funeral home, just to figure out the process.”

Um.

I mean I just don’t know where to start. Pheadra is currently on her prayer cloth tour.  Neighbors say she left Tuesday afternoon with a ton of luggage.  The woman has not been to her office in years, allegedly. If she even still has one.  She left her two little priorities with two sitters, her mama wasn’t there so maybe she on the prayer cloth tour as well. Who embalms their own grandmother? She has not even been to embalming college or whatever the fuck she went to back then.

The author may as well have said she just interviewed a couple of Martians about interplanetary marriage and other ways of their people and just tossed it up there like it was a perfectly normal thing to say.

I’ll revisit this again, but right now this is not helping my blood pressure. But please someone explain this.  Is she trying to claim her “income” as an attorney?  And an undertaker?  Is this some sort of tax thing? WTF is her angle now?

    And Bravo never caught any of this while filming these past two years?

    To bad they already filmed the reunion so Andy can ask her about this.

    Oh, you’re right Tamara. I’m not at all surprised that this has got your blood pressure up.

    Something is very, very wrong with both this article and with Phaedra. She dealt with depression by becoming a mortician? She embalmed her own grandmother? She does her mortician work at “the quietest time” of the night?

    There’s something ghoulish about Phaedra. This thing makes her sound a lot like a body snatcher. Ew.

      She is ultra twisted to embalm a relative or anyone close. Embalming is more than just replacing blood with formaldehyde. There are plugs for orifices involved, sewing lips and eyes shut. Who does that to someone with an emotional attachment? Double Ew!

      They need to go back and investigate her burials. A guy up New York way got busted for taking bones for grafting purposes. He took bones from people who died of diseases and these were put into people who later developed the same disease. He made MEGA bucks off this racket. They replaced the bones with PVC and newspapers. Judging by the book on Shadera and Apollo’s fiasco which I’m sure she knew about, if there’s money to be made she’d find the scam.

        Okay, so see right there. That’s just one way you could be up to no-good as a mortician.

        I will not be surprised if one day Phaedra’s shenanigans become an episode of “Law & Order”. Their shows were “inspired” by real events, but they put their own twist on it. In the TV version of Undertaker Phaedra they’ll make it more believable by having Apollo confess that he’s just Phaedra’s pawn. And then they’ll have a dramatic, teary courtroom scene with Apollo shouting at Phaedra “You said you would take care of me!!! I trusted you!!!”

    She might as well go on and embrace death, because she’s gonna die too, and maybe she’s worried that HER God isn’t so impressed with her after all. Just a thought. She’s such a fucking weirdo, who knows what her angle is.

      I’m having all kinds of ideas about what her angle might be. When someone like her gets involved in the funeral business then all kinds of shit might be going on. If she (and Apollo) were stealing the deceased’s identity that would be the least disturbing kind of wrongness she could’ve been up to. When I said body snatcher I was only half kidding. I really hope she wasn’t selling kidneys and livers and other body parts on the black market.

        Oh yeah, for sure Minky. I hear you. I sure hope no one is leaving their dead loved ones wearing any good jewelry either. It makes me feel half bad to even be thinking these things, but with Phaedra, I just wouldn’t put a whole lot past her. I realized she was a snake a long time ago, and my opinion hasn’t improved with time. Oh well.

      Please read the commenting rules. Nene is not make $2.5 million for anything. Pickup letters have not even gone out yet, let alone contract negotiations. She will get no where near that. She tried to hold out for a million last year and Bravo said no way. She tried to call their bluff and ended up crawling back at the end of the season for a per episode gig.

    OMG, I cant stop laughing! I laughed so hard it lowered my blood pressure. This writer is an idiot.

    She is embalming “overnight”? Like at 3 or 4 am in the morning? After, a full day of practicing law? When does she sleep? When does she see her kids?

    Pure fiction! Maybe the writer should have released this on Halloween.

    I’m pretty sure you and I are having joint hallucinations triggered by subliminal messages Andy Cohen planted in the RHOA reunion part one. Once you read that delusional headline from page six the hallucinations went into full blown mode.

    It’s always that trick Andy’s fault!!!

    Hey Minky, I said the same thing in the “follow that car” comments. I think they planned to get as much info on the deceased clients as possible, then collect “unclaimed government money” on their behalf, essentially stealing the cash. Once Apollo got pinched, she abandoned the idea and has been in limbo ever since. Hence the reason she said he collected unclaimed monies from the government for people as a career during one of the reunions. This thing is way bigger than Bravo is making it out to be. Phaedras days on the outside are numbered.

      Very good observation Bella. What I don’t understand is why she makes these ridiculous statements in print or on camera. Is she that confident about not getting caught? Isn’t she afraid that the families of her alleged mortuary jobs will get suspicious and start digging? I say alleged because we don’t know that she’s ever actually done any undertaking work. Her nickname should be “Teflon Parks”. If she ever gets caught Bravo’s gonna have to do a new show called “Real Housewives of Lockup Raw”.

      @Bella I think that’s the most obvious thing they could have been up to with this whole mortician thing. Funny how she seemed to abandon it all once Apollo got caught. Maybe the intent of the article is for her to make it seem like she’s still totally into being a mortician? I’m not buying it, nor is anyone else obviously.

    I have always been of the opinion that the funeral business was intended to wash Apollo’s dirty money – hence her basically dropping the funeral schtick when he left for college

    There should be a law about not being able to embalm family members, like physicians cant treat family members. Like, what URGE would that be to get closer to Gramma by taking out her bodily fluids? Weird. Glad the good folks of the ATL area know not to die/need embalming during the day, or else that would really cramp her lawyering. her kids are super adorable-too bad they’re just props. And her mother is weird as hell.

    The journalist is a writer, fiction. Guessing her grammar and sentence structure was ok. TT will correct me if I am wrong.

    The journalist did not do any research prior to the interview. She copied what Phaedra said. I’ve noticed that is how most articles are written

    Phaedra has been shady from her first episode when she did not know her due date, did not know how far along her pregnancy was, so on.
    She did not want anyone to know she was prgnant before she got married.

    Phaedra is a fake created from years of wanting to be “seen” as a type without doing the work to be the woman she wants to be. She comes across as tacky and nasty, always has to me.
    Really nasty!
    I’ve always liked her least.
