We told you before that the producers of “Real Housewives Of Atlanta” have been searching for a replacement for an undisclosed member of the cast – most likely Kim or NeNe. Most recently, it has been reported that Bravo producers may have found an answer in Phaedra Parks. You may remember her as the lawyer featured as a legal rep on BET’s reality show “Tiny & Toya.”
StraightFromTheA had this to say:
I just got some news that made me run to my dayum laptop! It’s been speculated for a while now, but I just got word from a SOLID source that Attorney Phaedra Parks will be joining the cast of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta!
I was sworn to secrecy but y’all already know I can’t keep a dayum secret! I even tried to get Phaedra to confirm but she’s being all tight lipped about it. I called her last night and although she wouldn’t confirm or deny…her reaction to my question was confirmation enough.
You see…Phaedra is amongst the who’s who of this city and has touched the lives of just about everyone in the entertainment industry….including moi! She’s my secret weapon against the demons who stalk me on the site and even represented me in my battle against Usher’s ex.
We’re not surprised as Phaedra, who got married late last year, had Dwight Eubanks (NeNe’s gay best friend) serve as her wedding planner and director.

Jazzylicious, you make a some very good points. It is amazing how both black men and black women have the same complaints (about each other).
at 12:25 am
Wow @ some of the comments. Basically It all comes down to black on black racism and self hate. You have several of black men out there saying: “black women aren’t good enough because they carry bad attitudes, they are too loud, they are obnoxious and so on. And those are some of their reason they date another race. And on the other hand you have some of your black women that date other races because the black men aren’t good enough because they are lazy, they show‘s little affection, they are quick tempered and so on. And this all comes down to blacks in America were dealt with the short end of the stick. Yes, we have accomplish a lot over the years with our success and knocking down barrels. However you still have some blacks that believe that white is better. Why? Because the white man was born with the long end of the stick. So some blacks feel that being with the white race will make your lifestyle better. But in all reality so much has changed over the years. We now have so many successful black’s out there and unfortunately they do not want to date their own kind. One being they think that their own kind will bring them down. And two they look better with another race among their colleague’s and society. Some blacks do believe having a white man or white woman on their arms will make them appear wealthy and have C.O.A. status. It’s just how I see it. Black on black racism and bashing will never end until black’s realize that there is some goods in their race and being with a different race does not make an individual or that race better!

Sylkiiifeather,
So true! Frankly, I’m sick of the way a few bad apples have spoiled the bunch. To be fair, it works both ways; I hear black women bash black men. As I see it, people are not working on themselves to be better people–hence, better partners for a good person. They also are looking for the wrong things in people.
I realize this is the point SouthernSwagger was trying to make, but he lost me when he wrote that he supports black men for not marrying black women. Frankly, the blame-game is getting old, on both ends. It is only a matter of time before Phaedra Parks realizes that this guy will bring her down, but this has no effect on my day-to-day living, nor should it have one on SouthernSwagger’s.

“black men get on here and talk about black women standards being to high one minute and call them “gold diggers”. Now their standards aren’t high enough?”

Southern_Swagger82 I suppose you are one of those few “good black” men out there huh? Judging from several of your comments on bp(calling a woman out of her name smh).You do not qualifyeither. But I definitely agree with Azrael3(also you left out stacey dash the black actress that all the black men love lol she has been with a white man for over 20 yrs). I tell you(southern) you and some other black men get on here and talk about black women standards being to high one minute and call them “gold diggers”. Now their standards aren’t high enough? Why because the dude has a negative pass? GTFOOH. That’s bs, this woman has the right to love whomever.Black men are just as guilty as black women for that matter, hell none of us are never happy then.

Southern_Swagger82: you wrote that you are tired of seeing females like Parks pass over good men for guys like her husband. How do you know that she isn’t the one who has been passed up by these men? It works both ways. I personally wouldn’t marry a guy with a crimminal record or a thug in general, but that is the choice she lives with.
You also wrote, “I don’t blame brothas like Tiger Woods, Reggie Bush, Taye Diggs, Russell Simmons, and Michael Jordan(Mike is with a cuban chick now) for being wealthy and dating or marrying non black women.” Wow, such an impressive list. One would think that black women were totally undesireable and our attitudes in general are such a turn-off that we can’t get anyone. I guess that’s why women like Halle Berry (who considers herself black), Lynn Whitfield, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Garcel Beauvaid-Nilon, Lisa Bonet, the wife of Robert DeNiro, Paula Patton, Diane Carroll, Melody Hobson (finance advisor for Good Morning America) and SEVERAL other black women are with non-black men.

Southern_Swagger82: you are the type o f man that can’t be satisfied one way or another. Men like you complain that black women set their sights too high, and in the same breath, complain that when we choose men who are “every day men” or who don’t have a stellar past, you complain about that. Pick a lane, please.
Black men who go out and get involved with non-black women don’t do it because of women like Phaedra Parks, who decided to marry beneath her station. They marry non-black women because of other reasons, yet these men often run to skanks. And guess what? These skanks nicely pair with the characters of these men that chase them.
Come better, please.

and of course some black man had to mention interracial dating….blah…..
why are any of these black men on “black”planet then…..you people are silly as hell…

NEWS FLASH EVERBODY!!! Phaedra Parks is just another stupid ass woman thats making REAL BLACK WOMEN look bad because this morning on The Wendy Williams Show Wendy showed Phaedra’s husband’s mug shot because he violated his parole this month and it was said that he did a few years for auto theft. WOW!!! This guy is a born loser and he marries a lawyer. Yall wonder why the good black man is hard to find its because you all refuse to look for him. This b1tch got all the book sense in the world but not one drop of common sense to save her life. After constantly seeing females like her choosing no good men over good men hell I don’t blame brothas like Tiger Woods, Reggie Bush, Taye Diggs, Russell Simmons, and Michael Jordan(Mike is with a cuban chick now) for being wealthy and dating or marrying non black women.

After watching all four HW series (OC, NY, NJ and ATL), I’ve learned that Bravo likes to caricaturize its cast members, thereby caricaturizing the people they are suppose to represent. The ATL housewives are over-the-top with their loud and brash behavior, they get into clawing matches with each other and stoop to ghettoisms, which betray their facade of class and dignity. Even the gay fringe-characters are exaggerated. I mean really—FUR PANTS?? A man with linebacker shoulders teetering in stillettos and another gay with a plunging neckline exposing countoured cleavage? ? Can you scream “stereotype”? It’s ridiculous. I think one reason why one of the housewives (the wife of an NBA player), left. Even she said that the housewives were not representative of the women of Atlanta. Hmm…
Also, after I joined Bravo’s message board community (yes, I became that sucked in!), I learned that a lot of these women did not have the wealth that they pretended to have. Some of these ladies have serious money issues. Having financial problems is very commonplace, but some of these women need a reality check.
