Real Housewives Of Atlanta Getting 6th Cast Member
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is reportedly getting a sixth cast member. It has been rumored that another housewife would come on board and now Kim Zolciak has confirmed that it is true. Though Kim did give the new cast member’s name, she did confirm that the woman is an attorney and the one person whose name has been floating about is entertainment attorney Phaedra Parks.
If Phaedra joins the cast, she is already coming with drama as her new husband is a convicted criminal out on parole and she is also pregnant. The two were married Nov. 1, 2009.
Phaedra’s husband, Apollo Nida, has done two stints in prison with the most recent being for racketeering. Apollo and five other individuals were indicted on a 20 count indictment for violation of the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and multiple counts of theft by receiving stolen property, forgery in the first degree, sale or possession of a vehicle from which the vehicle identification number had been removed, and possession of counterfeit insurance identification.
Apollo was convicted on the RICO count.
His parole began May 27, 2009 and is expected to end May-12-2021.
Here’s his picture from when he was paroled.
Phaedra released the following statement on Apollo’s past:
As Malcolm X so eloquently put it: “Stumbling is not falling.” Yes, my husband is a convicted non-violent offender but I did not marry him because of his past, I married him because I love him. I married him because I am a Christian and I know that a person’s past does not dictate his or her future. Be you a Christian, ordinary citizen or just identify yourself as an American – this country and the justice system, however flawed it may be, was built on the power of redemption.
Charles Dutton was a convicted violent offender before he was the beloved actor, playwright and director we know him as now. Don King, Michael Vick and even Martha Stewart are convicted felons who served time and still make a difference. Prison did not stop Malcolm X, it enlightened him and gave him the perseverance to fight for others.
I believe in my husband, I trust my husband, I love my husband, and I know he loves and adores me. That is a blessing, and each day I am filled with an even stronger sense of gratitude for it.
