Amid reports of Phaedra Parks' possible return to Real Housewives of Atlanta, a fellow alum brought past cheating allegations about her to light. The attorney has been called out in the past for allegedly cheating on her ex-husband, Apollo Nida. Though Phaedra has adamantly denied the claims, that hasn't stopped people from accusing her of shady behavior.
Phaedra is the only Atlanta housewife to be given the ax. She was fired after season nine due to nasty and damaging rumors she spread about Kandi Burruss and her husband Todd Tucker. The reunion show reveal showed Porsha Williams and Kandi in tears, while Phaedra sat in silence. Andy Cohen looked shocked. Prior to her exit, Phaedra, who is known for her interesting business ventures, was a standout on the show due to her on-screen feuds with the other ladies. She also got attention because of her controversial husband. Apollo stirred up the cast by flirting with Kenya Moore. He also had a secret life that led to his incarceration.
Phaedra stood by Apollo when he accused Kenya of coming on to him during a trip to Los Angeles, Phaedra was embarrassed when she later learned that Apollo had been lying the whole time. Learning the truth while Apollo was nearing his prison sentence strained their marriage. In their final days, Apollo came forward with claims that Phaedra hooked up with a man named "Chocolate." While Phaedra denied the claims, the topic carried over into the season. A fellow alum recently appeared on The Dominick Nati Show and referenced the claims that Phaedra was allegedly unfaithful to Apollo.
Claudia Jordan is a former RHOA housewife who appeared in season seven. She experienced Phaedra's possibly questionable behavior firsthand. While speaking with Dominick, she played coy when the host asked if Phaedra was unfaithful during her marriage. "Usually the people that try to tell you how good of a person they are and they would never are usually the ones that are doing it," Claudia claimed. When she asked Dominick who he thinks was cheating and he said Phaedra's name, Claudia sarcastically acted like she was surprised. "No way. I would never think that. Really," she remarked.
The Bravo alum credited Phaedra for being "a deeply religious woman" who would "never" cheat on her husband. However, the smile on Claudia's face said otherwise. Phaedra has a reputation for being good at lying. She is a successful lawyer, so she is able to persuade others, whether she's speaking the truth or not. If she does return to Real Housewives of Atlanta, maybe Phaedra will get a chance to redeem herself and address the hurtful speculation about her firsthand. These rumors have put her in villain territory, along with another show alum, NeNe Leakes.
