Real Housewives of Atlanta returned for another season on Sunday. After the episode aired everyone was talking about Phaedra Parks and the drama with her husband Apollo Nida. Apollo was sentenced to a hefty jail sentence after being convicted of fraud charges after creating fake companies and stealing millions of dollars from over 50 people during a four year period.
If you watched the show then you know that Phaedra decided not to attend Apollo’s trial. People on social media had mixed opinions on whether or not Phaedra should have been there when her husband needed her. Phaedra responded to her critics in a blog post earlier today
Words cannot express the turmoil this situation has caused our family, and I can’t even begin to articulate how hard it has been. When you face a situation like this, you can choose to either break down or stay strong; I chose to stay strong because I have two young children that need a parent to give them stability and keep the ship sailing. I’ve been criticized for not being at Apollo’s hearing, but the truth is I had been there for him in so many ways for such a long time. By the time all of this went down, it was apparent the marriage was over and my focus needed to be exclusively on the wellbeing of our children. I don’t think there’s a parent out there who wouldn’t agree.
Hmmm… Interesting…I personally think that Phaedra knew a lot more about what was going on with Apollo then she let on to and didn’t attend the trial because she wanted to stay as far away as possible when everything went down.
What do you think…
