Reality star Phaedra Parks, 50, divorced her ex-husband Apollo Nida the identical yr she left the Bravo show that made her famous. But now she has finally found her “peace”.

The former Real Housewives of Atlanta Southern belle says she thinks living in public for the past 14 years has made her look old, but now she’s regaining her natural glow and rejuvenating her life.

“I think your surroundings can age you. Being in terrible shows with terrible women, being in terrible marriages that age you. So, once I got out of a terrible program, got out of a terrible marriage, and had wonderful children… I was able to focus on myself and not all the bullshit…’ she said in an interview with People magazine.

Parks, a well-known entertainment lawyer, joined “RHOA” in season three in 2010. The year before, she married Nida, who was five years her junior.

The two appeared on the show as a young married couple and allowed the cameras to capture their love, the birth of their two sons, Ayden Adonis Nida, 13, and Dylan Nida, 10, and the launch of their various business ventures. However, in Season 7, everything seemed to fall apart.

In 2014, Nida pleaded guilty to conspiracy involving mail fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud and identity theft. As part of his sentence, he was ordered to pay $1.9 million in restitution and began serving an eight-year prison sentence.

Previously, Nida was arrested and sentenced to three years in prison on charges of car theft.

Shortly after he was sent to prison for a second time in 2015, Parks filed for divorce. Their divorce was officially finalized in July 2017, ending their eight-year relationship. Nida was released from his sentence in 2019 and later accused his ex-wife of abandoning him and their marriage when he got into legal troubles.

“When it first happened, she wasn’t there. When I passed the verdict, she wasn’t there. My surrender, she wasn’t there. I am basically not allowed to see my children. A lot of things showed me that she wasn’t really there for me,” Nida expressed during a cameo appearance on “RHOA” in season 14, concluding: “When I left, Phaedra was definitely cold-blooded and cold-hearted.”

The same year that Nida was imprisoned, in a dramatic turn of events, Parks was fired from the cast of “RHOA” before the long-awaited 10th season.^vol season.

The decision comes in the wake of a scandalous rumor propagated by Parks that fellow “RHOA” cast members Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker, were involved in an alleged “sex dungeon” and drug controversy involving Porsha Williams and Shamea Morton.

Parks also had conflicts with other cast members, including Nene Leakes and Kenya Moore.

The lawyer-turned-funeral director admitted that her outburst at Moore during the season six reunion episode was steeped in “pent-up anger” that spilled over onto the beauty queen. In an attempt to defend her then-husband, she accused Moore of “ripping sperm banks” to find a father for her child.

Years later, Parks returned to Bravo and joined the cast of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girl Trip.” In one episode, fellow cast member Vicki Gunvalson asked her to share details about her departure from “RHOA,” but she was reluctant to do so.

She later explained that she had talked about it before, but producers decided not to air it, stating: “You only heard one thing and obviously they decided not to play the other side. And so it is, but I live in the present.

Both Parks and Nida reunited on camera during the upcoming Season 10 finale^vol season of Married to Medicine. He talked about their relationship and how they became co-parents, calling it “impeccable.”

“When I came home, everything started turning upside down,” Nida said. “I used to be nervous as all the time. She was nervous.”

The parents revealed that they would meet at Chic-fil-A for Nida to visit the boys. They eventually came to an agreement that was beneficial to everyone involved. He can come to her house, but he is not allowed inside. Parks still does not have a relationship with his current wife Sherien Almufti and does not think it is necessary.

Around the time he was recently filming a new show, text messages and recordings were leaked that appear to show Nida cheating on Almufti.

One message from his alleged mistress mentioned Parks, saying, “It’s okay to confer with FAEDra about my kids… Today has been a busy but very productive day.”

Parks did not address her ex-husband’s allegations of infidelity, nor did she deny or confirm the rumors.

Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso’s WNBA debut received wide attention on social media live broadcast from a fan who stepped in when the league’s app couldn’t stream the sport.

Reese and Cardoso played of their first preseason game for the Chicago Sky on Friday night, a 92-81 loss to the Minnesota Lynx.

The WNBA app had incorrectly mentioned the sport as available to look at, resulting in confusion amongst fans before the league clarified that only Caitlin Clark’s debut from the Indiana Fever was being broadcast.

This is when @heyheyitsalli entered X.

“Would you like me to try broadcasting the game here?” user X asked: “I don’t promise quality, but I can try.”

Viewer numbers for the livestream varied, however the video had about 434,000 total views as of Saturday. User X previously posted a screenshot showing that the live stream peaked at 173,381 viewers.

“These are some of the WILDEST numbers, WOW” – user he tweeted.

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve was asked concerning the stream After game. She said @heyheyitsalli deserves “three dollars” per viewer.

“Anyone who watched this could send that person three dollars. I do not even know who that’s,” Reeve said. “I suppose I might say the expansion is going on in a short time. It’s so sped up. I’ve been saying this over and another time in our own organization – business as usual will not work.

“You will be left behind, and this is an example.”

Reeve said she understood Clark’s game can be televised and was “all about it.”

“People want to see it, but they also want to see, you know, it’s not just about Caitlin,” Reeve said. “This is in no way Caitlin’s fault. Rather, it’s about knowing that there’s a widespread excitement about the WNBA that we haven’t seen before. So we have to leverage the potential to really make sure this is a movement.”

Reese finished the sport with 13 points and nine rebounds in 24 minutes. Cardoso had six points and 4 rebounds in 13 minutes.

Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon said she was pleased with the debutants’ debuts.

“It’s a learning process for all of us. … And we are going through this process the right way,” she said. “Our leaders lead them and pull them along. Maintaining their self-confidence. This is what counts. So we’re in a great place and they’re in a damn great place.”

Comedian Mo’Nique has modified up her act on Katt Williams’ The Dark Matter Tour. Video footage circulating on the Internet features a segment wherein the artist encourages the audience to curse her longtime enemies, Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry.

While the audience seemed to laugh at her jokes, some people don’t find her updated performance funny and wonder why she still clings to this almost 15-year-old feud.

A clip from her Nashville, Tennessee concert stop at Bridgestone Arena was re-aired.

Taking the stage on Saturday, April 20, Mo’Nique instructed the audience to shout, “Fuck you, Oprah Winfrey,” and then say, “Fuck you, Tyler Perry.” You dick, you son of a bitch.

While talking about her relationship with “The Color Purple” producer, Mo’Nique said Oprah tried to “f**k with” her in private.

– Well, I’m a public bitch. If you are attempting to fight me behind closed doors, then open the door. “Ding-dong,” she joked.

The Oscar winner then stated that Oprah needs to “go back to being Black.” This concept suggested that the famous talk show host had sold out to white people.

Then, tongue in cheek, Mo’Nique provocatively proposed that if a person within the audience named “Melvin” were to have sex with Oprah, it might in some way lead her back to her roots within the Black community. She then questioned the validity of Oprah and Gayle King’s relationship.

A clip of the excerpt was published on The Neighborhood Talk’s Instagramand a whole bunch of their 1.9 million followers embraced the news.

Many felt that Mo’Nique was too involved within the lives of Oprah and Tyler Perry.

“At this point they will have their names on their tombstone!” one person said. Another said: “If you use your influence against me and I lose millions in potential earnings, I will never let it go. Whenever.”

Two other comments were: “Why doesn’t she move on?” and “I’m tired of this plot.”

“This is how Monique wants her son to recuperate and give you the chance to move on with his life after what she did to him,” one person surmised. “She wants DL Hughley’s family to heal and move on from what she said about his daughter, but she refuses to heal and move on from what two people allegedly did to her???? Holding a grudge against the material is crazy!”

Another said: “Girlfriend STILL!? Have you already gone to see your granddaughter? Shit!”

Monika is a wife and mother of four children. Her twin boys are 18 and live at home, but she and her oldest son from her first marriage, Shalon Watkins, have been separated for years.

Watkins talked about the challenges of growing up with “The Parkers” star and her husband, Sidney Hicks. He accused his mother of abandoning him and sharply criticized her for revealing his mental health online. Watkins added that although she has sent baby items, Mo’Nique has not yet met her granddaughter.

The 30-year-old and his girlfriend recently announced that they are expecting a child Mo’Nique’s second grandson, “another member of our family” in October.

I like MO, but give it up! Release us from the group chat. We tied it up!

Some agreed with the comic, agreeing with her claim that she lost hundreds of thousands and “can talk about it every day if she wants.”

Someone else wrote: “Either they fix it or she should do it by the day she leaves this earth and you can’t f**k me and think I’ll quit.”

According to the predominant character of “The Parkers”, Oprah and Tyler Perry brought her to her knees in Hollywood.

Mo’Nique starred within the award-winning 2009 independent film Precious, directed by Lee Daniels, and refused to cooperate with the press to promote the film throughout the big awards season. The actress claims that they discouraged other showrunners from staying away from her because she was difficult to work with. Perry apparently sided with her within the leaked phone call

“This is Tyler Perry. I’ll call and find out how much money is coming from Precious and I’ll send it to you,” Perry said in the video. “I’ll send it to you. Whatever it is, I’ll send it to you.

Her problems with Oprah run a little deeper.

While the billionaire was hosting her daily talk show, “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” she invited comedian brother Gerald Imes to a taping in 2010.

Imes sexually assaulted and abused Mo’Nique while the siblings were growing up in Baltimore. He admitted on Oprah that he began molesting her when she was 7 years old.

“I abused and betrayed the trust of another sibling, my sister, my blood sister. I’m sorry, Mo’Nique. I’m sorry,” he said to the host.

The “BMF” actress later interviewed Barbara Walters and shared that Oprah reached out to her before taping her brother’s episode.

She said that although the producer told her about Imes, she never told her that her mother had also been asked to appear on the show.

If she had known that her mother would also be a guest, she said she would have asked Oprah to pull the show.

The performance took place without Mo’Nique’s consent and forms the basis of why she still feels so betrayed by the tycoon.

In her recent tirade, Mo’Nique said she would not apologize to Oprah, calling her “straightforward” and a “stifled bitch.”

“I’m too damn old to be afraid of that bitch,” she continued screaming from the stage. “I’m too old to be intimidated by this bitch. I’m too old to hold on to the reality in regards to the mother king.
