I don’t really pay much attention to the blogs for RHOA anymore as they have gone the Blogging For Dummies route with that franchise where they send the housewives a few softball questions to answer. Perhaps the RHOA decided to all stop paying for ghost writers “social media managers” to write their blogs for them?
At any rate, whoever answered Phaedra’s questions this week gave an interesting response to one questions. Either Phaedra’s “social media manager” made a mistake, or Phaedra is finally admitting she is not divorced.
Bravotv.com: What’s your relationship like with Apollo’s parents?
PP: I have a great relationship with Apollo’s parents. My mother-in-law is a very supportive and caring lady. We both consider family very important, so we make spending time together a priority.
I’ve never even heard Phaedra referred to the fact that Apollo HAS parents other than that time she said that Apollo was raised by “white people who eat canned food.” I believe his mother did come to an event for the first kid that was filmed. Am I remembering that correctly? But not for Phaedra’s second child.
She makes spending time with Apollo’s mother a priority? This has to mean we will see this on camera, because Mama Joyce told me that she doesn’t make spending time with the boys a priority unless there are cameras around.
I am fascinated with this Q & A. Am I making more out of it than there is? This is why I need you people to talk to me about things. No one in real life would be able to discuss this with me.
Nope – you’re correct. Her boys are well cared for and I’m sure she foots the bill for that but I believe all the camera time with the boys are for show. Her relationship with his parents most likely goes as far as scheduling time for the boys to see the grandparents. They keep it all cordial. IMO there will be dollars for Apollo when he comes home so everyone makes nice with each other. Besides, she is much too busy with all her political causes and supporting this and that to be the kind of hands on mom she’d like us to believe she is.
I agree with everything you said, except the visiting with grandparents. For some reason I want to say they live in like… Pennsylvania or somewhere. Though I do think she would allow them to come visit the boy(s), I don’t see her going out of her way to take the boy(s) on a visit.
UNLESS, Bravo cameras were there. Perhaps foreshadowing? I feel like it was Bravo that insisted she be filmed taking the boys to prison. And Lord knows if Andy suggested it she would take them to see Grandma.
Yeah, she would never inconvenience herself over visitation, that’s for sure. Hmmm…now I’m wondering if Apollo’s girlfriend lives anywhere near his parents.
Call me a cynic. I feel as though Apollo left a dossier with his parents and Phaedra has to let his SON vistit with the grandparents or all will be revealed. Perhaps it also includes a codicil that provides them with all sorts of potted meats and sundries to make the trailer park more pleasant? Oh, and a can opener so his mother no longer has to use her teeth ?
I notice Apollo’s mother only comes to Aiden’s events. Is there an elephant in the room as far as Dylan?
The word “on the street” as Mama Joyce would say, is that Dylan is not Apollo’s son. That pot has been boiling for a long time and I for one am ready for it to spill over.
Looking back at some of Apollo’s behavior, he seemed to only really be concerned about Ayden. He always seemed standoffish towards Dylan.
Apollo’s mom was at Ayden’s “dedication ceremony” in season 4. The camera panned to her for 2 whole seconds then we never saw nor heard from her again until this recent episode. It seems Phaedra isn’t close to anyone besides her mother unless she’s benefiting from it.
I could swear Apollo’s parents were at Phaedra’s recent pop up shop for the camp for Flint children. I make my husband watch these shows with me (he’s a good sport) and I remember during that episode he suddenly started yelling, “Hey!! Are Apollo’s parents at this thing? The screen said those two are Apollo’s parents!” while I was in the kitchen grabbing a refill on a drink. I sort of then caught sight of Phaedra hugging two people who I VAGUELY remember during some other season as Apollo’s parents.
They were and she said then that she had a close relationship with his mother and her husband.
Apollo was raised by white people who eat canned food. Wtf…really Pheadra! I must admit its fucking hysterical.
I would call bullshit, but Aiden seemed pretty comfortable around them. They might not like being on camera much.
If Phaedra’s buttermilk is as dirty as I think she would want to stay on good terms with Apollo’s parents. She would want to cover all her bases. She may even be helping them out a bit financially as I don’t think they have a lot of money. Whatever is in her best interests , Phaedra will do. I agree she is basically only close to her Mother. We saw her cute brother on the show a few weeks ago but we have only seen her father once or twice and doesn’t she have 2 sisters? As far as I know we know zilch about them. There might be some interesting family tea here.
Kandi is the most visvirus and has no manners like her mother
Kandi is the most viscious and has no manners like her mother

Her former in-laws were at her pop up shop… I think they’re just camera shy. And I wouldn’t believe anything that comes out of Joyce’s mouth. She’s a mean spirited bitch..
Word on the street is Mama Joyce is usually pretty accurate and throws shade ( and her shoes ) like a champ !
