Phaedra Parks will not return to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” next season after that nasty scandal involving co-star Kandi Burruss, but she is getting support from another member of the Bravo franchise. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Lisa Rinna said she sends Parks her “love” after the reality star was caught spreading nasty rumors about her longtime co-star.
Rinna went on to say she really likes Parks and that she wishes her well, despite the bad blood the reality star has with other members of the Bravo franchise.
Lisa also added that the “Real Housewives” shows are tough to do. Rinna cited the Law of Attraction, saying she likes to think with “positivity” and that “you get back what you give out,” and that sends Parks her love.
What was the ‘RHOA’ rumor about?
Lisa Rinna’s comments about her fellow franchise alum come after Parks was found to be the originator of a horrific rape and drug bombshell involving two of her co-stars last season on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
Phaedra was outed by cast member Porsha Williams as the source of a rumor that Burruss and her husband Todd had once contemplated drugging Williams and taking her home for an alleged planned rape. Parks admitted to spreading the sordid story, saying she simply repeated what she heard from someone else—namely, Kandi Burruss herself.
The bombshell left everyone at the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion stunned, and Parks was reportedly asked not to return for the 10th season of the Bravo reality show after violating the show’s “morality clause.”
Lisa Rinna has her own history with the reality TV rumor mill
While Lisa Rinna’s support of the shunned Bravo star initially comes as a bit of a surprise, she does have some things in common with Phaedra Parks.
Rinna, who has not confirmed her return to “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” for Season 8, was also the source of “Real Housewives” rumors last season on her own Bravo reality show after she talked smack about co-star Kim Richards’ sobriety. Rinna tried to convey that she was coming from a place of concern, but her feud with her “Real Housewives” co-star spilled into the show’s reunion episodes and culminated with Richards returning a stuffed bunny that Lisa had given her for her newborn grandson. So, maybe it’s not actually a surprise that the giver of the “bad energy” bunny is siding with Phaedra Parks now.
