Phedra Parks

From Atlanta housewives

she is a Scorpio and so is her husband Apollo.

I don't get her like you married a guy that had felony record when you met him and you were already a lawyer. The man needed her to be there for him despite his recent behavior. She told him he ruined her marriage and it is affecting her name she build on.

*rolls eyes* that is still her husband does she not no marriage is through thick and then. Also why are you caring about what other people think?

sigh don't marry a person if you care about your ego more than who you have a marriage and kids with.

she disappoints me.

*thick and thin

I saw him in the mall a few months ago. He walked right by me and looked at me. I remember thinking *aren't you suppose to be in jail?* Very handsome in person.

I do think it's slightly shady how Phaedra is treating him, especially since I'm sure she had an idea he was back to his old ways. It just benefited her so she didn't ask questions I bet. A lot of people think she DID try to create opportunities for him though, so...

because that's her husband CC!!

she knew who he was before she married him so I don't get why she is acting so disappointed.

Phaedra's a smart business woman. She is just trying to distance herself from him to make herself look good. There is no way in hell she didn't know about his criminal activity and what he was doing. She's a fake ass woman in my opinion.

It's one thing to look past someone's prior mistakes and another thing entirely to have an expectation that they walk straight and have them completely disregard it but continuing to commit crimes. He was a single man and no children to speak of before he got married. Once he crossed that threshold of being a husband and a father his priority should have been entirely about them.

Did he think about the risk he was taking and the fact that he would be leaving his wife alone to raise his children? That screams immaturity and selfish to me. Also there is the blatant disrespect he was showing with the Twirl Queen. Never side with, defend or take up with another woman against your wife (or husband).

I think the stuff Pha is saying in interviews is to save face for the fact that he broke her heart. It's a lot easier to say all of the other stuff she feeding the public than admit that. Also, she's not stupid. Would you admit you had knowledge of a crime (given the seriousness of the crime) knowing you could also be brought up on charges too? She has children to look 'bout.

At the end of the day he broke the two Cardinal sins for a Scorp. He was disloyal and disrespectful. He stepped out long ago with his actions, so she's just following his lead. Meh.

well... in the time that they were married, she tried to create opportunities for him. he married her and they had two children. she had him on rhoa which was a platform for him to create a business and try to make money. during this time she had to endure cheating rumors of him cheating with her castmate Kenya and other women in Atlanta. He embarrassed her serveral times on the show and reunions. On the reunion shows, he indirectly admitted to flirting via text and inperson with Kenya; that was the first time Phaedra heard about it, at which time she was pregnant with her second child.

Apollo seemed to forget his life in prison and took his life with Phaedra for granted and decided he was going to steal other people's money. What did he do with the money? He spent "stacks", thousands of dollars at a strip club so he can play out the "life style of a rapper"; he wasn't thinking about how this would effect his wife or his children. He didn't even look to spend the money on his kids. He's always accused Phaedra of being controlling and treating him like a child and not giving him access to the "family" money but he acted like a child once he had the stolen money in hand. That stolen money apparently made him feel like a man in charge and making his own decisions and gave him the ability to "hang with the boys" at the strip club. smh. I'm surprised Phaedra didn't leave him sooner. she knew what she married but she didn't think he would be stupid enough to do something again to get himself locked up considering he had kids and a good life.

Apollo is dumb.

This is why there should be more than one season of Firefly. 😱

What!!! U stay with a cheat n a liar because marital status.

No.I was referring to being there for him at his sentencing.

But her vows are FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE. She cares more about public shame than him lying and cheating on her. How you get them is how you lose them which is jail. Be careful who you marry people are who they are.

That is the lesson.

I would do the same thing as her, I am sorry but he didn't think about how he was going to affect their two kids and her when he was breaking the law again. I believe in people getting a second chance but enough is enough. From what is said he made his bed and she doesn't have to stand by her man, he knew before marrying her that she wouldn't want to have her family put through the mud. I am sure since she got pregnant BEFORE she got married she really hoped that he would make the right decisions.

He did ruin the marriage, he is the only person to blame for his actions and choices. There are consequences for those choices he made. I don't feel she had to do anything for him at that point. Trust me, when you are made to feel a fool, the last thing she wants to do is stand by her man that is making her feel so much shame.

Until, you walk in those shoes I would just say try to not judge. You don't know how you would feel nor react.

I feel he was an opportunist and thought he could get away with doing what he had done before. I think she thought like a lot of people would, that surely, he is past doing something that would risk his entire family and his freedom, again.

I just watched the episode from tonight. I see pain in her eyes, she isn't going to show it outwardly the way others would like to see it. She has Cap moon, she would rather keep a good face and status than to show others how much she is hurting. She will come off cold, the people I know that have been deeply hurt with that moon placement are ice cold to others, they don't show that emotional side to everyone.

Anyways, I was just commenting on my view point of how I feel Phaedra from watching the show.

+10000 me and hubby love that series.

@waterygem.... don't get me wrong... they used each other but he started to take her for granted and he was resentful because she controlled everything (because she earned the family income). He was acting out the way a teenager would.

She has every right to be angry at him but do you not know what for better or for worse mean?

Those marriage vows literally means through ANYTHING.

I suppose that if you knew what that mean you wouldn't divorce.

Love Languages is a good book to read.

^ I agree. Unfaithfulness is wrong but on the show they are talking about him being sentenced and she not being there for him.

She is more worried about being humiliated than him cheating on her.

Leave for infidelity but to leave him because the "public" opinion matters to you is ubsurd.

lolol^^^ Do you know me? I am pretty sure you know NOTHING of who I am, nor my feelings on marriage or what my own experience is pertaining to something like this.

Do you have children? Are you married? Please, don't assume you know what you would do in a situation like this. I do not feel Phaedra took her vows lightly, I feel she feels completely betrayed by her husband and I don't think any woman should stay just b/c they are married, when it's something like that. He will be gone for 8yrs, the pain she will face with her own children b/c of his selfish decisions will affect all of them. He will not know his kids and I am sure Phaedra is completely devastated thinking how she is going to have to look at her kids and hear them cry for him, all the moments a son would need his dad.

I would not want to stand by my man with a SECOND offense.. The old saying of 1st time shame on you, 2nd time shame on me..

When you have the experience of looking your children in the face and living with their pain, then you can tell me, I don't understand what love is.. I have read that book but that doesn't change someone if they are NOT as dedicated and loyal as the other person.

So you are saying she should take his punishment, as well, for 8yrs b/c he didn't take his vows seriously? 8 YEARS!! I think she is setting a good example for her kids, later on down the line, that she doesn't encourage or agree with doing illegal activity.

You seem to only look at it from one side vs a parent/mothers pov. We can agree to disagree but please try to refrain from assuming you know my beliefs on what vows mean to me. Sometimes you just can't control what happens to you and you are forced to make a decision that that is best for your children.

This is clearly about opinions on this situation. What works for you doesn't work for me.

Agree to disagree this is nothing but a forum we can debate on this all day I am saying that I wouldn't leave my husband when he needs me the most.

Love is unconditional and that fact will never change.

My take on it is different from yours my thoughts will not change and neither of yours.

I won't see it your way and you won't see it my way. I'm not about to play who is more right or wrong.

Have a good day 🙂

I agree!! I feel he didn't know how to deal with her being such a strong minded independent woman, who was already well established without him. I could imagine that was very intimidating for him but she didn't marry him for his status. I feel sad for all of them, it's a sad situation when you see kids suffering from stuff like this.

It was a interesting topic.. I was going to post about Scott Disick do you watch that one?

^ Yes!

What is his sign? He is battling being an alcoholic he needs to go to an AA seriously.

^ Yes!

What is his sign? He is battling being an alcoholic he needs to go to an AA seriously.

So I looked him up and he is Gemini Sun with Sag moon. I think Kourtney is killing his spirit little by little. I do think he needs help but he also shouldn't be locked in a house like an animal. She wants complete control, I think it's contributing to his depression and need to escape. She is always so uptight. She is an Aries Sun with Cap moon, which to me Aries are usually pretty fun loving. So I don't get that.

I also, see how she is just wanting him to be safe and wants to protect him but I think it's just the wrong way to go about it. If that makes sense? Do you know what I mean?

There has been some very sad stuff going on with those shows in the last few years.

Her Cap moon is killing the aries fun sign but both are control freaks anyway.

I think her wanting control is actually making him drink more he is a Gemini so he values freedom a lot!

That's probably why he has yet to marry her but is giving her babies instead. They have been together way too long to still be playing house.

I know, I wish I could tell her, go have fun with your man. Don't stop being the woman he fell in love with.

You think he is controlling? He seems pretty passive to me, until, he drinks and becomes a completely different person.

No I was talking about aries and caps are controlling so she is double controlling.

He has a sag moon so freedom is important to him x 2! I think if they don't fix the recurring issues they will break up for good.

I do think he is drinking because he is unhappy.

so interesting. I used to think the same as you when i was a teenager. through the thick and the thin, prison visits, parole, drugs, everything. Never leave. (well until you end up like Lorenna Bobbit and someday cut his penis off)

you're very good with human behaviour and astrology - looking into their relationships.

so he drinks and drinks to "escape" the control.

Wth? I didn't say stay with him while he was in jail! But that is still her husband! If it was a guy she was just dating then hell no.

Secondly I wouldn't date a man who can't stay out of jail she knew he was a criminal when she married him! That's why you have to be careful who you marry.

You twisted my words to mean something else I was simply referring to her not showing up to his court date before he was sentenced to jail! Now 8 years I can understand getting a divorce but she is not concerned about him cheating obviously which would be the top red flag.

i know what you meant. sometimes you can't choose who you love.
he just can't stand her, it's as if he's sick of her,but he needs her. And it looks like she enables him. It's very toxic but well, they're both in some sick way living on the edge.

True.

Phaedra sucks big time. Apollo sucks big time. 2 more black boys growing up with a father in prison.
