Phaedra also took some time to hit up her Bravo blog to spread a few words of holiday cheer. The southern belle stressed the importance of UNITY and putting aside petty differences during the holiday season.
Most importantly, we shouldn’t enter a new year carrying old baggage if at all possible.
Phaedra’s holiday message below…
In December, more than 90% of Americans will celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, or Kwanzaa. As a Christian, my family celebrates Christmas; however, we appreciate and respect all the winter holidays. After studying the most popular holidays of the winter, I noted that while they are all based on different principles, a common theme is clear: unity.
Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ; Chanukah pays tribute to the dedication of the Jewish people who fervently believed in their right to religious freedom; and Kwanza, a traditionally African-American celebration, focuses on reconnecting African-Americans with their native African heritage.
During Sunday’s episode, The Bailey Agency, much like the winter holidays, united us all.
For the first time since Cynthia’s wedding, Kim and NeNe were in the same room without any conflict. While their friendship is still on the mend, we all came together to celebrate Cynthia’s leap into entrepreneurship.

Many times during the holidays we tend to place our differences aside for the sake of others.
In like fashion, I determined my friendship with Sheree is more valuable than our legal relationship.

During this holiday season and in the New Year, I encourage you to put petty differences aside and focus on unity with friends and family.
Everybody knows the best gifts are those that aren’t tangible but felt by the heart.
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanza, and Happy New Year to all! May God’s richest blessings be yours. (source)
Awesome message! 
Is it me or is Phaedra fast becoming America’s favorite housewife?
She is the only real wife… But she is not a house wife.. >_<
She is the only real wife… But she is not a house wife.. >_<
Everybody knows that Phaedra is my favorite housewife. Baby Aden is just adorable and Apollo too.
I Love Mrs. Phaedra.
#Team Phaedra
She was always my favorite from the beginning.
Team Phaedra
Phaedra is ALWAYS on point!!!! BEAUTIFUL CARD #TEAMPHAEDRA
#TeamPhaedra she is my favorite and very classy!”Everybody Knows”… She’s the true definition of what you would expect of a ATL HOUSEWIFE. Only thing that is missing is her having a wealthy powerful husband to match.
That bish betta WERK IT!
Luv this pic. Got mama sitting on the throne. Do it girl!
I absolutely LOVE Phaedra. She is the only reason I still watch the show. She has her ISH on point and the other buffoons on the show need to take note. She is the epitome of class!
I loooovvee Phaedra! She is the only real housewife and she’s about business! I like all the rest of um but Phaedra is my favorite one! I can see us hangin out cause she’s so down to earth!
Phaedra is the most level headed housewife on the show. I love her gusto!
Luv Mrs Phaedra, Mr Apollo & Sir baby Ayden. Continued blessings to this beautiful family.
I love her and i thought it was hella funny when her and her mom were eating and they kept saying mmmm mmmmm! She is one of the more classy ones and thats what i love about her.
Ms. Phaedra is SUCH a Southern Belle and I love and respect her for it. She’s a little kinky at times but her hospitality amongst the others speaks volumes about her character and her upbringing. Ms. Phaedra is the best RHOA by far. Go girl! Plus, she doesn’t hold a thing about and she does it with style…unlike Nene’s over the top behind.
#TeamPhaedra!
I can’t say Phaedra is real because she lies and gossip to much but she does have funny one liners but Watch what happens live did a poll recently on who was the most favorite Housewife and it was NeNe but how ever I think everyone has dey moment to be favorite but eventually she gonna do something to piss people off cause fans change up like the weather!!!
I love me some Phaedra!
She is goofy as all hell and crack up some jokes but at the same time she is still an intelligent and downright serious business woman!
Hmm. I just can’t take seriously a so called Chrsitian woman who gossips, starts mess, lies about her pregnancy, marries a car and identity thief, calls herself an attorney but doesn’t know common family law and hangs out with gay strippers who suck their own wee wees.
Sorry but that is not cute.
Fakedra can put words together but not where it matters (in court)…Puleeze she is a fake ass lawyer trying to find some business…..Everyone knows she is THIRSTY……
Kamallah, totally feeling what you’ve said,a christian? What happened to morals/values and behavior that would go against what you CLAIM to be. Private intimacy/desires in bedroom is just that-PRIVATE. SMH
@Kamalla.. You are right on point except pocketing drug money from client and sending goons to collect the fake money from Sheree and the fake court room. I don’t watch the show but read it next day. The blogs said the court room had a white judge and the real one is black.
Everyone else is saying she is classy womp womp.
I hope the Law Review Board is watching the show !!!!!!
FAKE ASS BITCH!!!
I must say I too love myself some Phaedra. She has the best looking hubby,best looking baby (though Lisa Hartwell’s son is equally as cute) and the best looking donk!Hope she separates her brain work from Sheree’s lack of.Love her humor!
@Dee; Just stay away!
why do her skin look so much lighter and her face more pulled back? looks like someone is ashamed of bring dark skin. if u look at her past pics you can tell she had her skin lightened… smh.
***Who’s Ashamed of Being Black?*** #Smokey Robinson’s voice
team phaedra!
i want her to be my law yer lol
I love her! I want to move to ATL jut to ber her neightbor and gossip with her. SHe is fantastic!
Well, a true southern belle as you call her would not be on this show. Next, she would actually practice law and fake law. Let’s face it she’s a fame whore just like the rest otherwise she’d be prosperous in private. She must be trying to find herself or just caught up in the reality crap America promotes. When you take a respectable profession and need to be on one of the ranchiest shows out there then you are not classy, you aren’t a lady..u’re just like the other hooches.
Pheadra is my favorite ATL housewife….I remember when she first joined the show and she was pregnant she tried to or the producers tried to portray her as dumb… she acted like she didnt know nothing. I guess they ran back the footage of her on the show or she started losing clients due to her being a lawyer but acting stupid on camera because she wised up quick as hell and started acting like a real college educated woman… yes pheadra gossips (who doesnt on this show)but she doesnt stay on one topic every episode. The new christmas photo doesnt look like her… at all… her cheek bones look high and where is that gorgeous gap in her teeth? I loved her smile with the gap…. what happened? everyone else (husband and son) look like themselves
Why Reneeda? Because I kept it real and not fake. Still here!!!
Mrs. Parks you are truly a class act. Please continue to move forward in a postive way and keeping it real. I love those words of wisdom you have on twitter.
Parks is full of it… Im team NE NE all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but good try though….
Give me a break, this woman sprouts these messages (although they are good ones) just like a pastor who preaches one thing and does another. She is constantly on with the nasty comments about some of her castmates (even if they are funny) and dodges every simple question about that husband of hers (handsome or not). Having spent many years working in the legal field, I’d have to agree with Sheree (lord’s know I don’t want to) she did not due her due diligence in her case, otherwise she would have been more prepared or not have taken the case at all. In her blogs she never owns up to what she says or does, like a any good attorney, she distracts the readers with messages and not comments on the shows episodes. She’s as full of it as any other.
an i co-sign that redbird
Phaedra give it a rest girl, these post you do are way old now !!!!!!!!….you are as phony as Sheree. Get over yourself…you just wanted to show your family pic..and it is nice…but squash the bullsh*t….you start a lot of sh*t and you are the center of Haterville.
I love phaedra. I don’t care what negative comments people say about her. She is so funny. Only thing that bugs
LEAVE PHADERA ALONE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT SHE IS FAKE BECAUSE SHE TAKE DRUG MONEY.MOST LAWYERS TAKE MONEY FROM CRIMINALS THAT PAYS LAWYERS TO GET THEM OFF DIFFERENT CHARGES.ALSO PEOPLE SAY SHE FAKE LAWYER BECAUSE SHE IS ON A REALITY SHOW THIS 2012 EVERYBODY HAVE REALITY SHOWS/
I agree with REDBIRD if Fakedra gone call herself Johnny Cochran and pitbull she need to be able to back dat shit up I can’t stand Sheree but she is right Phaedra had nothing she is phony she gossip so much behind people’s back but never say nothing to no ones face all she has is funny quotes and she lost all class with the stripper My mama taught me never do something around someone else mom dat you can’t do infront of urs Phaedra is fake!!! TeamNeNe
I like Phaedra. At least, she brings a different dynamic…she’s an attorney! Sheree didn’t want to have dude locked up, which was Phaedra’s plan A. Obviously, in the past with other attorneys and judges, Bob has gotten away with his antics. Maybe Phaedra’s presence on a dumb reality show will motivate young women to get a law degree instead of trying to marry a baller or having his baby for child support, stripping, dancing, making a sex tape to get famous, dating married men for profit…or getting a law degree as a backup plan for aspiring singers, rappers and actresses! You have to play up to the cameras and be "ridiculous" if you are to stay on a reality tv show!
