Phaedra Parks blames drug and rape lies on ‘RHOA’ producers
After being ousted from 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' Parks claimed that she had been told by one of the producers about the rape plans.
Phaedra Parks has been ousted from The Real Housewives of Atlanta after it came out that she falsely told Porsha Williams that Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker, wanted to drug and rape her.
However, Parks claimed that she had been told by one of the producers about the rape plans in the first place.
“Phaedra tried to blame producers for manipulating the scenario, and it was cut from the reunion show. They’re not allowed to break the ‘fourth wall’ and talk about production. It may not have been entirely Phaedra’s fault, but she has to take the fall,” a source explained, according to PageSix.
According to a source close to Parks, it was “a producer who told her the drug and rape story, which she repeated to another cast member. It snowballed. The editing was not kind to her.”
However, a rep for Bravo refuted the claim, saying, “Production is not involved.”
Parks has been fired due to a “morality clause” in the contract.
“There are lines listed in all cast members’ contracts that they cannot cross,” a source said. “Libel is one of them. She’s in breach of contract and the cast basically said, ‘Us or her.’ ”
