Phaedra Parks put Mama Joyce on blast for suggesting that Parks knew more than she let on about Apollo Nida’s fraud.

Joyce, the mother of Kandi Burruss, said of Parks on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”: “I feel like she need to be sharing that cell with Apollo. She need to be his roommate. If you have a man and he has more than two years in jail, Georgia will give you a divorce in two months,” she added.

“She acting like she can’t get no divorce […] I know I’m right, I said you can’t trust her.”

In a blog post for Bravo TV after the episode aired, Parks said, “I am never surprised when attention seeking people say and do things to get attention, because it’s what they do and it is expected. It is unfortunate that she is still searching for significance this late in her life, rather than focusing on the afterlife. Bless her heart.”

Parks and Burruss used to be the best of friends until Parks’ marriage to Nida fell apart. The women have struggled to reconcile ever since.
