It was just a few weeks ago that Attorney Phaedra Parks of The Real Housewives of Atlanta filed a huge multi-million dollar lawsuit against VIBE Magazine over scandalous accusations made in a book they published.
[READ: Phaedra Parks Files $30 Million Dollar Lawsuit Against VIBE Magazine!]
As you know, VIBE financially backed an online book and has publicly backpedaled on the facts published in the memoirs, written by an ex-con.
Now VIBE has to not only answer to the lies they spewed about Parks, but her mother, Pastor Regina Bell, has followed suit and filed one of her own!
Details below…
Regina Bell, the mother of the successful “housewife”, recently filed a similar lawsuit against VIBE regarding the online book “Lies of a Real Housewife: Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil.”
Bell says the publishing company, Vibe Holdings, is financially liable for any damages to her character caused by the distributino of the book in which the author accuses Bell of “witch-doctory” and concocting potions to abort children.
Phaedra’s mom says all of the accusations are totally false, and says she has been a respected preacher in her community for over 33 years.
According to the legal documents, Bell is demanding a retraction of the statements PLUS $6 million in damages from VIBE, saying she never created any potions, or offered to help abort unborn children and that she has been publicly hated and ridiculed because of the book. (source)
Get ‘em Phaedra! Looks like the Parks family is about to be the richest b*tches in the south!
What do you think of all these multi-million dollar lawsuits?
Does VIBE have a chance or will Phaedra deposit a HUGE check?
someone shoulda told em…that Phaedra is one smart cookie…Go Phaedra & Momma Phaedra!
Hahahaha! Poor Vibe may as well get ready to shut down. I’m sure they don’t have that much money to lose. Like I’ve said before, this was a very dumb move on their part. Did they not think of the fallout that could ensue from this. Oh well! I hope Phaedra and her mom win. They deserve it.
I wish Pastor Bell and Phaedra ALL the success in this matter! These ladies are SMART with it!!! The VIBE company did the wrong thing when they started this battle!!! QUEEN Phaedra and her lovely mom are going DIRECTLY after the source that had the NERVE to publish the LIES!!!! GO GETT’EM!!!
(Sips Tea!)
I look at this situation like a high profile murder case. The defense says that thier is enough evidence to put this person away blah! blah! blah!
Then a year later when everyone goes to court either 3 things will happen
1. The defense has not case and the accuser walks away a free man/woman (or vibe have evidence to back up and will walk)
2. The defense has insufficient evidence (but enough evidence to work out a deal)
3. or the defense is on it’s game and the person will either get life/death
I said all that to either vibe have evidence to back up and will pay nothering or Vibe will settle, or vibe will pay out,
It’s all about the end result.
Sips Tea!mmmm Keep us posted!
I can’t believe Vibe didn’t fact check this story before backing the book. Surely they have attorneys of their own to do the leg work before putting something out that could be potentially damaging to another party. This is going to get real ugly before it’s all said and done…
(in my Mike Epps voice) “You ain’t never seen a lion attack a gazelle?” Well, Phaedra and Mama/Rev. Regina are the lions and VIBE is the gazelle. Who in the hell do you think is going to win? A mother-daughter team in which the daughter is a high-powered attorney and the mother is a pastor CANNOT lose.
How is it Phaedrea has a huge gap between her teeth on RHOA picture, but doesn’t have one in the picture with her mom?
*Phaedra
So far it is that girls word against there’s, so someone on which every side has got to produce some evidence that the allegations are false. In a court of law, he say-she say is not going to fly and it seems that Angela is still talking. So if the book is all lies, not a single piece of truth..why are they suing VIBE and wanting a retraction . Vibe can retract all day long but that doesn’t stop Ms. Stanton (I believe) from talking and spreading the rumors and from other things I have read on it. She is not backing down off her claims and VIBE is not buckling. Do you want the truth or money. Oh I guess as long as you get the money, people can talk all they want. And Phaedra, a high-powered attorney..thats funny. Lets see she represented DRAMA, who is now in jail, 2 short, who is oh well too short, and Bobby Brown. I guess the Cochran firm is knocking at her door.
That lying author lady should have named that farce of a book "Lies of a convicted felon" and she might not be in as much trouble as she is today!
And just think of how Vibe is feeling right now having to spend $$$ to defend thrmselves for this lying fool! Now after coming back from one backruptcy, they are going to be facing another!
Silly rabbits!
The truth will eventually come out now that the lawsuits are filed.The truth shall set you free.As the old folk used to say: "whatever is in you got to come out."
STRAIGHT….BULLSHIT
Go sit down Parks. Why isn’t Appolo filing a lawsuit?? Phadra is not what she seems. If she was this uppity southernbell all about wonderful things and imagry….she would not have married an ex-con…..most women that care about their image and public preception, marry a man that will play into that image, ex-cons don’t. Phadra is a pretender.
Good for them. How would you feel if someone called you the equivalent of a witch-doctor with no proof? Trust me, Phaedra and her mother aren’t stupod enough to file suit when they know the truth is on their side.
Of course they would sue Vibe. Why would they sue Angela Stanton? That bitch ain’t got no money.
Vibe is already damn near bankrupt. I suppose this will seal the deal.
The mom shoukd be more concerned about Aiden’s chistening and idol worship going on. Lawsuit \s will get thrown out because its a memoir and they don’t have to be true
It’s all ridiculous. Again, why isn’t mama Parks suing Angela Stanton? Why isn’t Apollo suing Vibe and Angela. She put more dirt out about Apollo than her mother. Phaedra and her mother need to take several seats. They are trying to save face.
Now it makes sense why Nene acts like she doesn’t know Phaedra, when the truth is that Nene probably knows Phaedra too well. She knew she was messy and phony and didn’t want to be nowhere associated with her.
They may as well close up shop yet again.
bet Q is mad abt this… they should have kept Ms Danyel on staff she wouldnt allow for this kind of foolery.
How could they sue Angela what money does she really have? True the publishing company should have made sure they can back up all claims. You fools saying why didmt Apollo sue, what was he gon sue for? What he did is public records. But I’m sure he could and get some coins for using his name without his permission. That book ain’t selling that well. I wanted to believe Angela but her tactics just make me smh…then the book is only one ebook…no press release about the book just some video…this all sounds like a hot mess that of course will be played out on RHOA..so more money for Phedra…I clearly see them winning but we all know vibe ain’t got that much money so either they will settle out of court or looks like they will be the new owners of vibe.
Mr Judah thank you! This chick started a rumor that this woman’s husband moved out and had a side chick, which was a lie. Angela is a one deranged broad that needs to take several seats. Why sue her, she has no money, Vibe should have been better prepared before publishing this mess.
Go head on and gettem Phaedra & Mama-N-Dem … you caint say stuff, make money off stuff without facts to back ‘dat stuff up. VIBES 1st clue shoulda been the heffa tellin’ the lies was an EX-CON! That’s a burning #RedFlag.
Sounds true to me even my grandmothers knows what herbs & tea can make your period start. Anyone can file a lawsuit, but I see she is not suing the author.for defamation…black people is atlanta suffer from a colonial mentality & they dont even know it…
ATLien…I know I shuld wait but I just CAN’T!! I know that you have weekends off and you so deserve them but PLEASE!!! Is it TRUE that Kim got EVICTED LAST NIGHT??!!
The concoction given was only, in another article I found, was only given to Ms. Stanton and Phaedra. Phaedra is not going to tell on her mom, so its Ms. Stanton word against hers. After the stunts she let go in her church concerning her grandsons christening, I am almost convinced that she is not on the up and up either.
[...] Phaedra Parks’ mom files $6 million lawsuit against Vibe – Straight from the A [...]
I don’t watch the show period, so I don’t care about their lives or some bs, but the comments are entertaining. But, my question to you all is,what if everything she said is true? Why are you all so quick to believe this mom/daughter duo? She could have written a book about anybody on the show or in the world and she chose them, I have to wonder why. I might just read the book, just b/c everyone is so dead set against hating this woman.
Also I’m so tired of people suing over every thing. Geesh! If it’s true it’s true, if not then the people who know you wont be phased by it, but to sue is just ridiculous. People talk about me, but I’m not crying about. And her being in the church don’t have jack to do with her being a goody two shoes, look at creflo, priest, etc. nuff said
I don’t think that it’s because we don’t believe Angela Felon, it’s just that we like Phaedra. We don’t know and haven’t seen this Angela chic enough to consider liking her, and because she described her crime to us, I doubt that we ever would. It’s all about appearance and attitude. So far,Phae Phae has kept her act together and we like that. She didn’t turn Angela Felon in,that’s Angela’s fault. Now Angela wants to be hailed for snitching on someone she is clearly envious of…that’s not cute.
How can they sue over a book that wasn’t really published in the first place and was not written by Vibe magazine staff?
I think that whole family are some thugs in sheeps clothing.
I’d bet all of these statements about Shadey Phaedra and her mother are true.
