Phaedra Parks Rejoins Real Housewives of Atlanta

She’s back. Georgia lawyer and entrepreneur Phaedra Parks has reclaimed her peach on the Bravo reality TV show Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Parks returns to the show as it looks to de-establish itself among diehard fans.

“You called. I answered,” Parks posted on social media, confirming the news. The accompanying image showed her holding a peach while getting off a private jet with luggage surrounding her.

Arriving in Season 3 and leaving in Season 9, Parks has been gone from RHOA for six seasons after some epic confrontations with cast members like Kandi Burruss and Kenya Moore.

The main cast for Season 16 includes Porsha Williams, Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey (as a guest), Drew Sidora, Brittany Eady, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley, and Shamea Morton.

After exiting RHOA the first time, Parks took a break before agreeing to join the Married to Medicine cast for its 10th season, making this her second season on the show​. As of now, Parks will star on both shows, according to Bravo.


On Bravo, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” franchise continues to be a perennial winner among millennials. The bottom line is that people want to see Atlanta on TV.
