Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Phaedra Parks may be out of a job at “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” but it looks like the lawyer turned reality star has found a new skill to add to her resume: modeling.

Parks announced on Instagram that she signed a lucrative partnership with Wilhelmina Models.

Wilhelmina is the agency that works with other big-name stars such as Nicki Minaj.

The agency signed Parks to help her achieve the goal of inspiring women from all backgrounds and walks of life to go after their dreams.

“I think I’m the face of ‘yes you can.’ I’m a small town girl who has followed her dreams. Yes you can be a mom, yes you can be a lawyer and yes you can be a model,” she told Us Weekly.

“When the opportunity presented itself, some people asked me ‘Why?’ and I said ‘Why not?’ A supermodel started this company and she wanted to give power back to the women and I think I stand for the same things. I have the opportunity to show people that beauty can come in every size, shade, color and age. It’s exciting and an adventure!”

Parks has also said she will be pitching a Judge Judy type legal television show to multiple networks.
