‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ Star Porsha Williams Cuts Ties With Phaedra Parks Over Drug, Rape Lies

Frick and Frack are no more. Porsha Williams has barely spoken to former best friend Phaedra Parks since her bombshell “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion reveal and she plans to keep it that way for awhile.

Speaking on Dish Nation, Porsha revealed that Phaedra reached out to her about a death in her family, but nothing more. The 35-year-old told listeners that she felt “betrayed” by her Season 9 co-star, who used her to spread a vicious false claim about Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker plotting to drug and rape her. Porsha’s not sure if or when she’ll speak to Phaedra again.

“Phaedra was like my best friend. Someone I talked to on the phone every single day,” Porsha said. “And for me to feel like she had betrayed me like that, and the fact that I was sitting right there and watched her continue to lie to me about it, that’s the part I can’t get past and I don’t know if I ever will. Right now, I just can’t talk to her.”

While Porsha’s done with Phaedra, Kandi may be in contact with her sooner than expected. The Grammy award winner and her legal team are currently deciding whether or not to pursue legal action. Porsha may also be involved, but Kandi’s lawyers need to assess the situation first.

“I have to talk to my attorneys and see how they feel I should handle the situation,” Kandi said on V-103’s Ryan Cameron Morning Show with Wanda Smith. “They told me I should sue Porsha at first [but] when it came out at the reunion that Porsha got the information from Phaedra, I said let’s hold up until they see the whole thing and I’ll get their opinion on how I should handle it. Another thing, lawsuits are stressful. I’m already dealing with this lawsuit with Johnnie [Winston].”

Lawsuit or not, it seems Phaedra will face some serious fallout from her actions. On Monday, sources told Us Weekly that Phaedra had been fired from the Bravo reality show as a result of the fake drug and rape allegations. Bravo hasn’t made any official announcements yet, nor has the mother of two addressed rumors of her reported firing.

“Phaedra is not coming back as of now,” a source told Us. “Bravo is not planning to ask her back.”

Although Phaedra hasn’t spoken on her alleged firing, she was asked whether she’d consider returning to “RHOA” for Season 10. She told People that being on the reality show’s cast “has its ups and downs” but that she’d be glad to come back if asked. Phaedra noted that not every moment captured on “RHOA” is realistic, but that they do sometimes capture real, priceless moments.

“It’s not always accurate, of course,” she told People. “But for the moments that they capture something that’s real — like being a mom, helping someone out, having a very sensitive moment on television that turns into something beautiful — that’s the legacy that counts when it comes to reality TV. The moments that change people’s lives.”

Andy Cohen, who joined the “RHOA” reunion as the host, hasn’t given any indication what the Season 10 cast will look like. He’s weighed in on the situation in other ways, telling Us how shocked he was by Phaedra’s willingness to spread such a salacious rumor. Andy said he wasn’t expecting that to come out, adding that she hid it so well.

“I was just very surprised — not just by the revelation that Phaedra spread. I was just surprised by her,” he said. “She seemed kind of withdrawn about it.”

The drama unfolded during part 4 of the “RHOA” Season 9 reunion. Porsha was discussing the origins of a rumor stating that Kandi and Todd planned to drug and rape her, which she said she heard from Phaedra. Phaedra backpedaled, claiming that she heard it from a third party.

“RHOA” Season 10 does not yet have a premiere date and fans will just have to wait to find out who’ll be joining the cast.
