Phaedra Parks has confirmed her return to ‘RHOA’ as fellow castmate Drew Sidora and former castmate Kim Zolciak have reacted to Kenya Moore‘s reported exit from the show.
On Monday, July 29, Parks took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos of herself apparently hopping off a jet. In the flicks, Parks donned a two-piece bandeau and skirt set along with black pumps. In one hand, she held a pink fur coat and in the other, she carried a peach.
Furthermore, the caption of Parks’ post read, “You called. I answered 🍑#RHOA #S16”
To note, reports initially surfaced earlier this month alleging Parks was in the process of negotiating her return to the show, per The Shade Room. The 50-year-old reportedly starred on the show for six seasons between 2010 and 2017, per Page Six.
Social media users reacted to Parks’ announcement in The Shade Room’s comment section.
Instagram user @iamravendiaz wrote, “Say what you want about Phaedra but shes GREAT tv”
“😍🍑😍”
Park’s announcement in relation to ‘RHOA’ arrives on the heels of Kenya Moore’s reported exit from the show. As The Shade Room previously reported, Moore was reportedly suspended indefinitely from the show in June. Her suspension was apparently sparked by her alleging participating in revenge porn against a newcomer to the series, Brittany Eady.
Later that month, TMZ published an article alleging that sources exclusively revealed Moore would not “return as a cast member for the rest of production” of the show’s sixteenth season, per The Shade Room. At the time, Moore shared a message via X, formerly known as Twitter, seemingly confirming her exit.
Earlier this month, former ‘RHOA’ star Kim Zolciak reacted to Moore’s reported exit in an exclusive interview with Page Six.
“I think it’s the best thing that could ever happen to that show,” Zolciak asserted.
Meanwhile, ‘RHOA’ veteran Drew Sidora reacted to Moore’s exit from the show in an exclusive interview with Blavity.
“I am not happy about Kenya’s exit. I think it does impact our show. She brings a lot to our show. She’s legendary. She has a personality that shakes the table. I’m not too in support of her having this sit-down,” she said. “…You do what you have to do to defend yourself. I just feel like, at the end of the day, it’s up to us as women to navigate it because this is real life, and this is what happens. And we don’t know the new girls; we’re getting to know them. And so I feel like Kenya does need to come back. I hope that she does. I hope they figure it out… I hope she will make a return at some point because she is definitely missed.”
