Did Phaedra Parks Shade Her Co-Stars Before Skipping Reunion?
As the cast of the hit reality TV show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" prepared to reunite for their season 10 reunion, rumors began to surface that Phaedra Parks was planning to skip the event. While the reasons behind her absence haven’t been officially confirmed, some eagle-eyed fans think they may have uncovered some possible clues as to why the former sports manager may have decided to take a pass on the highly anticipated reunion.
In a recent interview with a popular online entertainment outlet, Parks hinted that she was no fan of her former castmates, stating, "I’m all about building people up, not tearing them down. And I don’t believe in engaging in drama or gossip. I’ve got my own brand now, and I’m focused on growing that."
While this statement seemed innocuous enough, some fans took it as a subtle shade aimed directly at her co-stars. Specifically, they pointed to the fact that Parks never explicitly mentioned any of her former colleagues by name, but didn’t shy away from implying that she was superior to the rest of the cast. This has led some to speculate that she may be trying to distance herself from the drama and catty behavior associated with the show, which has been a hallmark of the franchise since its inception.
Another possible explanation for Parks’ decision to skip the reunion lies in her plans to launch an upcoming spin-off series, "Counting Down With Phaedra," which will focus on her work as a certified mediator and her humanitarian efforts. With the show set to premiere in the coming months, it’s likely that she may be busy preparing for its launch and didn’t want to be distracted by the drama that can come with appearing at a reunion show.
The tea doesn’t stop there, however! Insiders close to the production have told an online entertainment news source that Parks’ decision to skip the reunion was also due, in part, to the tension between her and her former co-star NeNe Leakes. According to the source, the two have been at odds ever since Leakes made a series of comments that Parks perceived as disloyal on social media. While the two have always had a complicated history, this latest incident may have been the final straw for Parks, leading her to decide to take a pass on the reunion and focus on her own projects instead.
As fans eagerly await the premiere of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion, we’re left wondering what other secrets will be spilled and who will come out on top in the highly anticipated conclusion to season 10. But one thing is for sure: Phaedra Parks is now, more than ever, a force to be reckoned with in the world of reality TV.
