RHOA star Phaedra Parks appeared on the Steve Harvey show recently and she opened up about her public divorce from husband Apollo Nida, who is currently serving an 8-year prison sentence.
“Like many women I had this ideal picture of the American dream and I thought I was actually living it,” Phaedra told Steve. “This was like death of a dream because I thought that I had married someone that I thought I was going to fill this incredible life with. I’ve got two beautiful kids and this pretty much ended it all very abruptly. I think that people go through things all the time and they handle it differently and I think I’ve handled it the best way that I knew how. I’ve tried to handle it in a way that my sons could be proud of me, but also hopefully I could show to other women when you have very hard situations you can still be a lady and maintain a sense of dignity.”
While speaking about her struggles with Apollo, Phaedra also revealed which of her cast mates have been the most supportive. “To answer that, they really haven’t been,” she admitted. “Well, I can’t say all of them haven’t been. Porsha and NeNe have been very supportive, but they have been through similar situations. Not like mine, no prison or anything like that, but they’ve had situations in their marriages and relationships that were very difficult that played out in public.”
“And so NeNe, you know, she has been the person who has called me every day, sent me texts just to make sure I was OK and just really been very supportive,” Parks continued. “You know, we’re not the best of friends, but she has been a wonderful friend throughout this ordeal.”
How is Phaedra handling her business being shown on RHOA?
“It’s extremely tough because, of course, when you’re on TV people judge you and they think actually know you,” she said. “And like I always tell people reality isn’t always real. You see a portion of our lives, a very small snippet, and you don’t know the entire story…This is real life. I’m a mother. I have feelings like everyone else. I have these two great boys that I’m trying to raise into healthy strong men. This is not what I signed up for.”
