Phaedra Parks Reportedly Makes Her Grand Return To Bravo

Roommates, if you’re an OG fan of Bravo’s Housewives, we’ve got news for you! Phaedra Parks will be reportedly making her highly anticipated return to the network, according to an exclusive by People.

Phaedra is scheduled to appear on a special episode called “Bravo Blasts from the Past: Real Housewives” on May 6. Bravo plans to air a marathon of nostalgic and special episodes, including this one, during “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen: A-MAY-Zing Bravo Party Week.”

“This week is our gift for Bravo fanatics,” Andy Cohen said in a statement. “I can’t wait to catch up with some of my favorite pals from Bravo past, present and future,” he continued.

Phaedra will join other Housewives Jacqueline Laurita, Gretchen Rossi, Jill Zarin, Adriana de Moura and TaylorArmstrong. The ladies will catch fans up on their lives since leaving the franchise, while reliving some of their grand moments in Bravo history.

Back in 2017, we reported that Phaedra spoke with TMZ and revealed she had no desire to return to ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’

I have no desire to,” Phaedra said. “I mean, Ive turned the page. I love being happy. I love living drama-free. My kids are happy and I am able to enjoy life.

At the time, she categorized reality television as “a lot to deal with.” These comments came following her departure from the RHOA show. Phaedra didn’t return after an explosive, four-part reunion regarding season nine with her then cast mates, including Kandi Burruss, Porsha Williams, Cynthia Bailey and Kenya Moore to name a few.

Phaedra was confronted for allegedly spreading false rumors that Kandi Burruss and her husband Todd Tucker wanted to drug and sexually assault Porsha Williams. The show decided to cut ties due to the rumor and the cast mates refusal to engage with Phaedra following the reunion.

Roomies, will you be tuning in to see Phaedra grace your television screens on Bravo one more time?
