Andy Cohen and Brandi Glanville have faced a lot of scrutiny as of late. However, Phaedra Parks doesn’t seem to mind. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star is content to remain friends with the producer and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum.
For those out of the loop, Brandi and Andy are at the center of Caroline Manzo’s recent lawsuit. While the suit is against Bravo, it concerns alleged acts of sexual assault performed by Brandi during Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’s filming.
The legal battle is ongoing. While Bravo and Brandi expectedly denied any wrongdoing, commentators have their own opinions. Then there was Brandi’s own allegations and threatening of a lawsuit, where she accused Andy of sexual harassment. Andy later apologized for a particular incident, but insisted Brandi was “in on the joke.”
Phaedra emphasizes her honesty regarding Brandi
In a recent interview with Page Six, Phaedra spoke on her ability to maintain a friendship with Andy and Brandi. “It’s never going to be awkward,” she said, “because I’m always going to be honest and truthful.” To that point, she added, “I wish people would’ve stuck up for me like I’m sticking up for Brandi.”
“A lot of times people are so afraid to say what they know is true.” Referring to Atlanta, she continued, “Like the women on my show, and that happened to me, and they knew the truth.” Brandi also spoke with Page Six and expressed her gratitude toward Phaedra for being someone to lean on.
“She is truly such a goddess, beautiful woman, and she saved me,” Brandi expressed. “Honestly, she saved me.” Brandi made it clear to Phaedra that they didn’t have to associate publicly if she didn’t want to. Nevertheless, Phaedra wanted to be with her friend. “I’m ride or die, for real. Because at the end of the day, man cannot promote me,” she explained. “Only God can promote me.”
