'Real Housewives ATL's' Phaedra Parks on Dwight: 'He can spend lots of money, honey'
Attorney and new castmember, Phaedra Parks, made quite the entrance on the Season 3 premiere of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
Aligning herself with Dwight Eubanks as he was accusing NeNe Leakes' husband of stiffing him on $10,000 and claiming that Sheree Whitfield owed him $30,000 for last year's fashion show has caused many to wonder about his credibility and where Phaedra stands on it.
Phaedra says that while Dwight is her friend and client, she knows better than to just take anyone's story at face value. "I even tell my clients that there are two sides to a story and then there's the truth," Phaedra tells Zap2it.
The new housewife says that whether or not it's shown on TV, she has had conversations with both NeNe and Sheree about Dwight's claims. Parks was unsure if or how Bravo will tell the story, so she didn't disclose how those conversations played out. She did offer some insight on Dwight, though.
"I didn't go to the fashion show and I know Dwight," she says. "When he gets involved in anything, he's very elaborate and he goes full throttle. He can spend lots of money, honey. He worked on my wedding and my baby shower, so Dwight can spend some money. Whether it be the person giving it or his own. He doesn't have cheap tastes. He wants the best of everything."
Phaedra also comes off as having something against NeNe, who also grew up in the college town of Athens, but she says that couldn't be further from the truth.
"All the good things you say about people," she says. "TV doesn't always show that. It's not their job to be responsible sometimes and to show things in the proper lighting, let's say."
So, how does Phaedra feel about the veteran Atlanta housewife? "It looks like the story is evolving to show some bad blood between NeNe and I," Phaedra says. "Which I don't have any bad blood with NeNe."
She continues, "I'm the antithesis of NeNe. We're two totally different people. What you didn't see is when I said I know NeNe. She's a good girl. She's got a lot of hustle about her."
Regardless of how she was edited, Phaedra says she stands by what she says. "If I said it, I said it," she says. "I don't think saying somebody is not very ladylike is an insult. That's the truth. Some women are just different types of women. It makes the world go around."

YOU ARE A JOKE!!!!!!!!! HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLELY ACT LIKE YOUR BETTER THAN THE OTHER GIRLS AND PUT DOWN NENE (WHOSE REALER THAN YOU IN MY OPINION) DOWN ACTING LIKE YOUR ISH DON'T STANK WHEN IT REALLY DOES!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT KIM AND SHEREE WERE DELUSIONAL (WELL THEY STILL ARE) BUT YOU TAKE THE CAKE!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T YOU JUST KEEP IT REAL AND ADMIT TO THE WORLD THAT YOU MARRIED APOLLO CAUSE YOUR BIOLOGICAL CLOCK WAS TICKING CAUSE NEXT YEAR YOUR GONNA BE 40 AND APOLLO IS A NICE 31 YEAR OLD YOUNGIN WHO CAN FULFILL THAT DESIRE. WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL THE TRUTH THAT YOU DID NOT MEET APOLLO WHILE YOU WERE IN COLLEGE (22 AND 14 DOES NOT GO TOGETHER) YOU MEET HIM IN JAIL AND STRUCK A DEAL WITH HIM, YOU GOT YOURSELF PREGNANT BY HIM BEFORE YOU WERE MARRIED (OCTOBER A MONTH BEFORE YOU WERE MARRIED). ADMIT YOU LIKE BAD BOYS, AHM, JAILBERGS!!!!!!! YOUR A FAKE A PHONEY AND DISGRACEFUL AND PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR BETTER OFF PRODCING TINY AND TOYA WITH YOUR GHETTO HOOD SELF, MS. BOUGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm with the other poster. Paedra is a trip. She tries to act like she is better than everyone else, but yet she has some ghettoish ways about her. She keeps making all of these excuses about her marrying a ex-convict. She just needs to own up to the fact that either she likes the "thug" type of men and/or she is with Apollo because of his looks. And she is most definitely his meal ticket/ cash cow. And I don't believe for a minute that she dated him in college. More than likely she met him through the justice system. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that she represented him in one of his court cases and that's how they met. She is not a likeable person and she is soo phony.
Phaedra and Dwight both have credibility issues. As cocky as they act, they must be extremely insecure underneath.
I agree Phaedra is a hot mess. I am so tired of her country self. Acting like she dont know what alcohol is. For you to have so much class you need to learn how to talk and the bs you told the girl from Destiny's child. You cant do nothing for her. Your lips are the worst and whoever does your make up needs to be fired. Your voice just gets on my nerves. Yeah you a freak and you looked more stupid when you were acting like you didnt know how far you were. Apollo is going to leave you. O yeah and we know you sent him to buy the diaper bag. LLS SMDH
YOU PEOPLE MUST NOT FOLLOW THE SHOW.... SHE MET APOLLO WHE SHE WAS IN LAW SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!
I think your post was secretly a good start to a potential series of posts about this topic. A lot of people pretend to know what they’re talking about when it comes to this topic and generally, very few people actually get it. You seem to know about it however, so I think you should run with it. Thanks!
At the beginning of the show I disliked Phaedra because of her talking negatively about her unborn child.Also, she came off a little cocky most of the time. I am proud of her accomplishments and so what she found love in Apollo? I like her a little better as the season went on. But that Ghetto NeNe and Kim I hate. I would love to see a show where we as black women can have to opportunity to be classy with money instead of Ghetto with supposingly money. They use the word ***** like that is your name...sad.
