  • Authenticity means more than couture when fans connect with reality TV stars for the long term.<\/li>\n
  • Phaedra Parks’ lies tarnished her image, going from admired attorney to dishonest reality star.<\/li>\n
  • Phaedra’s unapologetic behavior could hinder her return to\u00a0RHOA<\/em>\u00a0and long-term reality success.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Relying on contour and couture instead of authenticity is a huge fail if\u00a0a reality star\u00a0wants to connect with fans for the long term. Reality TV fans can admit\u00a0they prefer more drama than intellect\u00a0in their favorite characters. It’s not entertaining to watch a woman work hard, make healthy decisions in relationships and support their girlfriends. Even if that’s what some viewers are aspiring to do in their own lives, reality television is a premiere destination for entertainment and laughs. That said,\u00a0Phaedra Parks\u00a0is a great reality television personality.<\/p>\n

    With her designer fashions, fabulous wigs, and devil-may-care morals, Phaedra is visually stimulating, to say the least. Her initial introduction to reality audiences started on\u00a0Real Housewives of Atlanta. A well-known attorney, Phaedra’s storyline felt authentic and admirable. But it quickly proved to be a farce. Her transition to\u00a0Married to Medicine\u00a0further solidifies that she hides behind an unbelievable Southern Belle persona instead of giving viewers something to identify with. With\u00a0RHOA\u00a0amid a cast shakeup, fans want her back.\u00a0But if her antics continue, there’s no point in re-casting her.<\/p>\n

    Phaedra Parks Has an Issue With Telling the Truth<\/h2>\n

    At her start on\u00a0RHOA,\u00a0fans were a bit standoffish towards the country lawyer with celebrity ties that stemmed back to\u00a0Bobby Brown\u00a0and\u00a0Whitney Houston’s\u00a0reality show on Bravo years prior. Phaedra’s introduction was as subtle as her shade, and although she wasn’t initially a glamour girl, she was sharp, quick-witted, and held her own with the show’s veterans. It quickly became painfully clear that\u00a0telling untruths was not foreign to her. Some fans suggested it wasn’t a surprise that a seasoned lawyer had a propensity to lie, but others attempted to give the self-proclaimed southern belle the benefit of the doubt. Whether it was her legal background that allowed her to feel comfortable switching facts, embellishing events or even switching dates, or if she was just a good old-fashioned liar, Phaedra was always up for the challenge.<\/p>\n

    One of the biggest red flags was her lying about her due date when pregnant with her first son. To avoid being labeled as a woman having a baby out of wedlock, Phaedra recited some of the dumbest lies imaginable on camera. In one scene, she told\u00a0Kandi Burruss\u00a0that different doctors had different theories about her due date, which she claimed was two months behind schedule. \u201cThe doctors I was seeing, well they just had different theories,\u201d\u00a0Phaedra dismissively told Kandi\u00a0and her mother. By the season’s end, Phaedra delivered, and\u00a0her doctor confirmed on camera that the baby was 40 weeks aka full term\u00a0when he arrived, confirming that Phaedra lied about the entire pregnancy to her\u00a0RHOA\u00a0cast and subsequently to the fans. Her housewives’ cast knew she was lying and offered numerous opportunities for her to just come clean, but she doubled down and clung to the ridiculous fable. Lying about a pregnancy with a husband in tow on a very popular reality show on a major network is nasty work, but Phaedra was up for the job.<\/p>\n

    There were many more lies to come from Phaedra, but this one set the tone for her ability to share bald-faced lies without any sign of remorse or retribution. Fans like their housewives sneaky with a heaping helping of shade, but extreme liars don’t fare well long-term. This is why Phaedra should not return to\u00a0RHOA, even though she would initially be great for ratings. In the long run,\u00a0her storyline would always be questioned, and we’ve learned Phaedra has no problem fabricating a pregnancy due date, or a horrific accusation against a former friend if it would give her more screen time.<\/p>\n

    Phaedra Has Done A Great Job On Other Reality Shows<\/h2>\n

    After being featured on several reality series such as\u00a0Marriage Bootcamp,\u00a0The Real Housewives Utilmate Girl’s Trips, and\u00a0The Traitors,\u00a0Phaedra’s TV ratings have been proven time and time again. Bravo was desperate to find a permanent home for the Atlanta bombshell, so they placed her among the doctors and doctors wives on\u00a0Married to Medicine. Half of the\u00a0Married to Medicinefans were perplexed at the casting\u00a0because it’s obvious the fabulous\u00a0Ms. Parks has no ties to the medical field. It was rumored she was dating a doctor, but\u00a0that relationship fizzled out before the season started. Dr. Heavenly has pledged to help Phaedra secure a doctor, but in the meantime, she is lending her brand of fabulousness to the show.<\/p>\n

    The other half of\u00a0Married to Medicine\u00a0fans are taken aback by the fact that Phaedra doesn’t fit in with the other ladies in the least. With her furs in the summertime, cleavage-baring designer labels, plumped-up lips, and continuous sexual innuendoes,\u00a0Phaedra stands out like a sore thumb against the other doctors who spend more time in scrubs than in Gucci. Even\u00a0Toya Bush-Harris, Dr. Eugene’s wife, who loves a good designer fit, reads subtly when compared to Phaedra’s over-the-top energy.<\/p>\n

    Phaedra is good for television, but she is misplaced on\u00a0Married to Medicine.\u00a0Within the first few episodes, she brings\u00a0Quad Webb\u00a0to crash the bachelorette party of\u00a0Sweet Tea, the new wife-to-be of Quad’s ex, and then organized a ridiculous funeral ceremony to mark Quad’s rebirth. Subsequently, with Phaedra’s help,\u00a0Quad was banished from the group, while Phaedra played innocent and slipped comfortably into the single slot Quad left with the ladies. The\u00a0Married to Medicine\u00a0cast enjoys a good read from time to time, and they have squabbles just like any other group of female friends, but Phaedra’s brand of lying will not be received well long-term among this group of women with substance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Phaedra Parks’ Return to ‘RHOA’ Doesn’t Make Sense<\/h2>\n

    Realizing Phaedra’s time on\u00a0Married to Medicine\u00a0will probably be short-lived unless she manages to snag herself a physician or dentist, some have started whispering that she may be able to return to\u00a0RHOA. With Kandi no longer on the show, there shouldn’t be an obvious barrier to Phaedra’s return, however, it’s highly unlikely that she will be welcomed back to the show. Fans enjoy drama but rarely do they offer their loyalty to characters that rely on lies to push their storylines. Phaedra’s distorted southern belle quips are great for confessionals, but\u00a0her cutthroat decisions have proven that she doesn’t deserve a permanent residence on Peachtree Street.<\/p>\n

    Much like her\u00a0RHOA\u00a0sis Marlo, Phaedra cannot be multidimensional and show vulnerability. After being caught in the lie about her pregnancy,\u00a0Phaedra could’ve appealed to fans by acknowledging she was embarrassed to be pregnant out of wedlock. Although she may have gotten some flack about the lie, fans always respect a reality star who stands in his\/her own truth. Ironically both ladies attempted unsuccessfully to sully Kandi’s character, a tell-tale sign they felt intimidated by her ability to connect with fans.<\/p>\n

    Another example where Phaedra missed the opportunity to show authenticity was in\u00a0the dissolution of her marriage\u00a0to\u00a0Apollo Nida. Phaedra claimed the two were lovebirds from way back. However, when things started falling apart in their relationship, she spent way more time trying to paint him as a villain than she did trying to put her life together after their divorce. Phaedra villainized anyone who spoke with Apollo and exerted energy in attempting to destroy their character, which was questionable mainly because Apollo’s entry into the\u00a0RHOA\u00a0stratosphere came through her. Apollo was certainly not innocent in their marital breakdown, but Phaedra’s inability to show vulnerability while going through what would’ve been a painful divorce to anyone else, made her appear untrustworthy.\u00a0Phaedra’s die-hard commitment to present an unpenetrable facade has hurt her more than it’s helped her.<\/p>\n

    Phaedra should take a page out of Nene and Kandi’s book about appearing successful yet being vulnerable. Both Nene and Kandi have loyal fanbases that will ride with them throughout their ups and downs because they were brave enough to allow their fans to see cracks in their exteriors. Phaedra’s\u00a0Married to Medicine\u00a0cast mate\u00a0Dr. Jackie Walters\u00a0got into hot water\u00a0with fans earlier this season and immediately released an apologetic video taking ownership and allowing fans to see a softer side.\u00a0Dr. Jackie’s ability to understand her position as a leading lady with fans is what continues to keep her in good graces with the audience.<\/p>\n

    Phaedra attempts to showcase an unpenetratable polished appearance but fans see straight through the shenanigans to the lies and deception. If a star isn’t willing to show any authenticity,\u00a0they aren’t qualified for a starring role, which means Ms. Parks isn’t qualified to move back to Peachtree with the other housewives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
