‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ Star Phaedra Parks Blasts Todd Tucker Over Workout Video, Apollo Nida Friendship — Tells Kandi Burruss To Butt Out Of Her Marriage


With the third and final installment of the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 reunion show coming up on Sunday night, it doesn’t look like Phaedra Parks and Kandi Burruss will be making up. Phaedra wants Kandi to stop giving her opinion on what she should do with her husband Apollo Nida and their kids. On top of that, she’s also speaking out about Todd Tucker and the money that she supposedly owes him, according to a report from Wetpaint.

In a sneak peek of part 3 of the RHOA Season 8 reunion show, fans can see that Todd Tucker takes an opportunity to really come after Phaedra. Despite having been close friends, Tucker admits to Andy Cohen that he may actually think it was Phaedra who turned Kandi and himself into the feds for hiding Apollo Nida’s vehicles in their garage after he went to jail. Todd doesn’t seem to think it matters that Phaedra claimed him as a friend when it came to the accusations that she turned him in.

At that point, Phaedra jumps on Todd Tucker over the money she reportedly owes him for helping to produce one of her workout videos. Phaedra Parks asked Kandi’s husband why he never went after Apollo for the money and chose to “bully” her instead. Todd responded that he never asked Apollo to pay him because he had never even talked to him about the budget. Nevermind that the video was produced by Nida Enterprises, a company that Phaedra allegedly set up for Apollo in an attempt to give him a legitimate business.

“You know so much about what Todd is doing, but Apollo was in your house and you didn’t know what the f**k he was doing?” Tucker said of Phaedra. “Get outta here man, you’re smarter than that.” It sounds like Todd is questioning whether Phaedra knew about Apollo Nida’s shady business dealings. She has claimed innocence, never really talking about where she thought Apollo’s income came from. Fans of RHOA have often said they think differently. Apollo’s accomplice and business partner Gayle St. Julien even said last year in an open letter that Phaedra was much more involved in Apollo’s illegal business than she was letting on.

When Todd Tucker confronted Phaedra about the money she owes, she countered with her friendship. Phaedra brought up the death of Tucker’s mother in 2014 and said she was there for him during that time. We’re assuming she meant as far as her funeral home business was concerned but it wasn’t made clear. In any case, Todd was not happy with Parks for bringing his deceased mother into their argument.

As for Kandi Burruss, it doesn’t look like she’ll be making up with Phaedra Parks any time soon either. Phaedra confronted her former friend about her opinion regarding Apollo Nida and whether Phaedra was taking their sons to visit. “Unless you are in my shoes, in my house, paying my bills, and dealing with what is going on in my life, you cannot tell me what I should or should not be doing. Everyone makes choices in life; I made mine and Apollo made his, and, unfortunately, Apollo’s choices caused him to be separated from his children,” says Phaedra.

Phaedra continued on her rant in defense of herself after Burruss criticized her decision to keep Dylan and Ayden away from Apollo while he serves out an eight-year sentence for his part in a fraud scheme that bilked people out of millions. “The children’s needs and well-being come before Apollo’s and also before mine. That is what being a parent is about, and I think anyone who criticizes the decisions I have made regarding my family needs to be mindful of that.”

When the husbands join up with the housewives, it looks like the RHOA reunion show is going to get real interesting. Part three of the Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Season 8 reunion show airs on Sunday at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
