Phaedra Parks has her peach once again! The 50-year-old is officially returning to RHOA for season 16 as a full-time Housewife.
“You called, I answered,” Phaedra Parks shared in an Instagram post on Monday, July 29, announcing her return to RHOA for season 16.
The Bravoleb announced the exciting news with a photoshoot of her holding a peach again.
Phaedra first joined the Real Housewives of Atlanta during season 3. Ultimately, she left the franchise after dealing with major controversy during season 9. If you remember, Phaedra admitted to spreading false rumors that Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker, planned to drug Porsha Williams and Shamea Morton to take advantage of them sexually.
The RHOA alum went on to appear on other reality TV shows, including Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition, Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, The Real Housewives of Dubai, and Married to Medicine.
This news comes a month after the news broke that Kenya Moore was exiting the show mid-season.
As previously reported, Kenya was officially fired from the Real Housewives of Atlanta following her brief suspension from the show while filming season 16.
Kenya was suspended from filming for season 16 after she allegedly displayed posters of newcomer Brittany Eady performing sexual acts.
Kenya has maintained her innocence and insists that she never engaged in revenge porn.
“The rumors and narrative about me randomly showing nudes or revenge p is 1000% untrue. I have proof and will share soon,” Kenya said in an Instagram post last month.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is expected to return for season 16 in late 2024.

During her earlier days on RHOA, I always found her rather uncomfortably awkward to watch, but when she more or less reinvented herself on RHUGT (at Slurinda's), she kind of grew on me. I don't think she added anything to M2M, but to be fair, nothing can save that sh show. Speaking of sh shows, I too gave up on RHOA, but her rejoining the show certainly can't hurt, so I'm sure I'll check it out.

Pha Pha to the rescue, Love her but will it be oversaturation? Clearly Porcha can't do it (save ATL). Overpaid. Overplayed (Buy some ATL Escorts, Ugh??–HOs Blow) Twirl on child.
I don't watch Atlanta but I like her. I saw her on one of the Ultimate Girl's Trip and she was pretty cool.
Meh, they need her, she knows it and good for her I reckon cuz Phaedra is good times, but not for nothing, but that get-up in the Instagram pic is a head to toe abomination. IJS https://media0.giphy.com/media/YVj8Z2bkyxBgQ/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
She's got the "short girl" curse, and becoming rather stout is not helping.
Lol. You make me think of that song: I’m a little teapot,
short and stout.
Here is my handle,
here is my spout. ?
