Ms. Parks looked mighty classy as she mingled amongst the politicos in DC during the 57th Presidential Inauguration which also happened to be Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday weekend… and speaking of “classy,” Parks kept it cute when she blogged earlier this week about she and Kenya Moore’s ‘Donkey Booty Battle’.

Phaedra spills details about she and Apollo’s decision to utilize a more experienced production company and reveals that their already on her next workout video.

Here’s what Phadra wrote about the “booty battle” in her most recent Bravo blog:
This Monday was the commemoration of two historical events, the national holiday in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday and the 57th Presidential Inauguration.
While both events celebrate the accomplishments of outstanding Americans, it was very poignant that the second inauguration of the first African American President fell on the birthday of African American civil rights leader and fellow Atlantan Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. whose mantra was “all men are created equal.”
As I sat in my white folding chair listening to President Obama’s address to the nation, I realized how proud I am to be an American where everyone has the opportunity to excel if they are willing to work hard.
Whether you agree with President Obama’s platform or not you have to agree that it is a blessing to live in a democratic nation where everyone has a voice, choices, and the ability to vote.
In this week’s episode, my husband and I made some choices. After meeting with several production companies, we chose to use Watch it Now (WIN) to produce our Phine Body workout video series.
After meeting with Will Hobbs and Darren Capik and reviewing their extensive resume, we decided they were the most qualified company. They are one of America’s leading fitness video production companies touting sales of over 30 million fitness videos a year.

This fact along with their equally impressive client list, which includes notable fitness icons such as Jane Fonda, Billy Blanks, Suzanne Somers, and Tara Stiles, assured me that they were the perfect company for us.
Surprisingly, we were able to do two videos for less than the price Kenya quoted us for one. Even with the lower production rate and better expertise, they never asked for a back end percentage or any ownership in our video], but most importantly, the production was seamless.
They effortlessly worked out all the details with no drama, which was quite refreshing. Their customer service and staff were equally as professional.
We sincerely appreciate everyone who has and is supporting our fitness venture. Volume II of our Phine Body workout series, which is a complete body sculpting regime, will be released in the next two weeks! For more information on our fitness journey and ventures please visit www.Nidafitness.com.
While this matter has been challenging because my professionalism and character was questioned, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands a times of challenge and controversy.”
What do you think of Phaedra’s response to the all the ‘Donkey Booty’ hoopla?

Classy
WOMP! There it is, Kenya was greedy and tried to manipulate the situation..Thanks to Kenya they wouldn’t have been able to get the deal they should have with a reputable company..so Phaedra needs to send the proactiv needing heffa a bunch of roses and a thankyou note
#Dead hahahahaha
you hit the nail on the head.
Yep, Kenya was trying to goop the children, but at the same time, Miss Phaedra "High Class" Parks needs to stop playing the victim, because truth be told Sheree was the one who first brought up the idea of a fitness video. Remember when she was running around trying to get everybody to work out, and trying to make that green juice Kim turned her nose up at?
Fitness was supposed to be Sheree’s avenue to create a revenue stream, but Phaedra suddenly and quite out of the blue picked up the fitness angle once Sheree got fired and no longer has a platform. Way to hustle Miss Parks! Now where the hell is Willie Watkins? *NeNe Leakes voice*
And sheree has the body that looks like she works out. Phadrea on the other hand umm no. And even Apollo um no. And fitness and the President’s inauguration just really should be address separately to be called classy. That’s my opinion tho.
Ya’ll need to stop. People that work out come in all shape and sizes. If your 300 pounds sitting on your couch and you pop in that video you may see some results. Everyone can not look like an adonis. Everyone who is just beginning can not start with the "Insanity Workout." I work in several gyms and motivating folk to work out is HARD. I applaud them for putting together an easy workout to get people started. Kudos.
I don’t think Phaedra’s fitness video was "out of the blue". I also don’t think she is biting Sheree. Phaedra is only capitalizing on the phrase she coined last season. Her donkey booty was the topic of conversation whenever she was interviewed. Phaedra’s smart in making the most of her 15 minutes of fame.
My girl Phaedra…always throws shade while wearing a smile. Tell’em honey!
Yes she do Phaedra has a classy swag !
Watching ATLien blog on Phaedra is like watching Sandra Rose dick ride TI and ugly ass Tiny.
Wow! lol
…yawns
yawning with you..
thank you!
Phaedra has class and it is respected. She could have been real bitter and said some negative things about that other woman, but she didn’t cause she’s a lady.. Good for her… Sooooooo lets recap, Mrs. Phaedra’s a lady, she has money in the bank, she’s happily married with 1.5 children, she’s a lawyer, likable, professional and she is a successful darker toned woman, she’s beating the odds.. The other woman with all the hair and drama may need to step it up a bit.
Well…since youre going there…Phaedra is the one who said money is not an issue. So, Kenya just took her at her word. If she wanted to stay within a certain budget ..she could have stated that up front.
And.. yes, here I go with my black stuff…lol It would have been nice to see her work with a black woman to be able to boast about selling millions of video’s through her production company. But, I digress : )
But, I wish them both the best…I think since Kenya started working on a project and she put her time and energy into it…she should do her own video… And she don’t have to go find an expert..because she is one… with production and fitness.
Good Day, Yes Phaedra said money is not an issue and it would have been nice for her to work with another black entrepreneur, but why should Phaedra pay her monies on the back-end for simple production.. "That’s the issue" If Phaedra found a reputable quality production company at a cheaper cost with less drama, no payments on the back end and they just happen to be a white company, then sold. But I agree with your point that since Kenya started working on a project and she put her time and energy into it…she should do her own video and let the people decided which video they want to buy.
I’m sure they will both do well off of this negative publicity, but I wont buying either of them as a consumer..
phaedra is full of it and not the HOLY GHOST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In Phaedra’s voice; "mmmhhmmm" lol
Phaedra said money was not an issue, but that doesn’t mean you take advantage of the situation. Phaedra was giving business to a friend. I believe she meant she would spend what was needed to make the video professional quality and something that would sell.
If Kenya was a professional, she would have had a contract drawn up prior to her doing the work and had it signed to ensure she would be paid for her services. She thought she was going to get over. She thought she could do the work, give Phaedra an inflated budget and get profits from their idea because this was her expertise and not Phaedra’s. It backfired and showed everyone what kind of businesswoman she really is. Yes, it would have been nice for them to put together a successful, black produced, fitness product, but at the end of the day, it’s all business. Kenya was not good business!
Why ppl keep talking about color, its not a black issue its green issue and Kenya was just trying to get over on Pheadra. Why would a smart business woman not have a contract signed before doing the work.why should pheadra pay you to do the video and give u back end money it wasn’t ur idea. I don’t care what color u are when it comes to my money.its just business
No woman of class would wear that God awful azz out fish net mess around her friend’s husbands and boyfriends…not on a beach not anywhere. A classy woman has too much respect for herself and friends to expose herself that way!
Her response was classy, but one correction the inauguration wasn’t on Dr. Kings birthday he was born January 15th not 21st. 21st is the day the United States observes his birthday as a national holiday. She should know that being a lawyer and a southern bell. Shade but no shade
Actaully we observe the holiday on the 3rd Monday of January regardless of the date… It just happened to fall on the 21st this year. Just an FYI.
While at the same time calling Kenya a bi-bipolar alcoholic??
LMAO…right..right lol and quoting King lol
lol at "and quoting King.."
Served on fine china, under a weeping willow, slowly sipping on a mint julip with a cool breeze of southern hospitality shade for the bootleg bitches.
I am sitting on the porch rocking back and forth fanning myself at the shade of it all! *slooooow southern drawl sip*
I think Phaedra carry herself well. And I like her statement about their video. Class v/s an ass{Kenya}
Good for Phaedra! Kenya is shady.
Kenya is indeed shady talkin about BUSINESS DEALS that DON’T EXIST! Phaedra loves to name drop like a mug tho!
Whatever, anybody can take a pic with a bunch of well-dressed black folks…LOL…Phaedra is shady. It’s a reason Nene said what she said and it’s also a reason Kenya mentioned the fact that everyone knew Phaedra was shady except her. It will all come out at the reunion I believe.
They’re all shady especially Nene. So as far as shade goes…it comes with the company. Just sayin.
You can see this company has produced over 30 million fitness videos a year and nobody is accusing them of stealing ideas! We all know Phaedra was not going to work with Kenya after what went down in Anguilla. Phaedra plans to keep Apollo far away from Kenya! All this fitness stuff is for Apollo.
Kenya is not the problem she is having with Apollo.Its the 21 to 1 ratio in Atlanta that is problem. LMAO!!
lmao.. Yessir!
Go Pha-Pha!
Phaedra looks adorable with her baby bump!
Kenya is not the problem she is having with Apollo.Its the 21 to 1 ratio in Atlanta that is problem. LMAO!!
Pheadra will not be able to hold Apollo attention much longer once he is able to get on. Too many women in Atlanta that look better than her.
She killed two birds with one stone.
I seee you Pheadre!
She letting you all know she was at the ball too! Not only Kenya!
As for the bootiful video!!! Simple she went with another production company
Pheadre is giving nicety (nice-nasty) shade.
Well said Phaedra…
Amen….
All I want to know is how much does Phaedra pay AtLien as her personal promoter?
Like a slick politician, Phaedra has a lot of people fooled. She’s the epitome of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. When she 1st got on the show, I knew something wasn’t right with her (what real attorney has time to do a reality show??) and wondered why Nene kept a distance from her. I think Nene knows some things and I believe stuff will eventually hit the fan one day.
Shay Shady you are telling it like it is ,THE TRUTH and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
ITA!!! You betta say that!! Phaedra came on the show throwing shade and insults to people, being judgemental & self-righteous…even her now bff Kandi. She once made a joke about Kandi’s deceased fiance and him having a lotta kids..the man had just passed not to long before that..it’s like people forget about that!
Classy comment, classless lady…Sorry, "Phae Phae", despite the nicely worded statement and cute baby bump pics, I still think you are as rachet as those birds you keep company with in the ATL. I’m glad u finally found Apollo a job, though.
I refuse with you TODAY..REFUSE! lol
Classy. Go Phaedra!
In six months you will be able to pick up you a copy at the Dollar tree .
I wouldn pay a dollar for it. there are way too many QUALIFIED PEOPLE making fitness videos.
what happened to her tazzer and the furneral home, and the dog burials?
I saw Phaedra at the Inauguration, and she was very personable and warm to those who spoke to her. So many women wore fur coats, particularly celebs (her, Star Jones, Yolanda Adams and Sheila E). I thought, "they don’t care nothin’ about PETA." However, PETA knows better than to ruin a black woman’s fur lol.
Oh, and BTW, Apollo was not with her. She was with some other man (nothing suspect).
RE: PETA knows better than to ruin a black woman’s fur lol
PETA ain’t dat kray kray!!! Girl that inauguration would’ve been turned out, if paint would’ve been thrown on them furs.
Let Me Keep It 100 About KenHo,She Out 2Steal Something From,NeNe,Kandi &Cynthia,She Was Like LoDown Romney He Studied All Pres Obama Video’s From 08&Used Dem Hands Trying 2Roll Like Our President,It Didn’t Werk Tho,KenHo Studied The Real Housewifes Of The ATL,Paid Walter 2Act Like Her Man,Then Flirted With EeeRrrman She Seen OWN Vacation,She’s Very Jealous Bcause They Doing The DAM Thang,And She Wasn’t&Still IsNot Doing It,The Ms.Usa Is Done,Now She Want What All 3Of My Girls Got Fame&Business,None Of Her Production Company Ever Went 2The Pay $12.00 Or The Drive In,Where I’m From We Bout 2Go 2Change.Org On Her,Why?Bcause She Came On The Show FakeFeelingIt,Which Is Not Cool,It’s A Lie,God Bless U ATLien I Love Yo Website,U Have Pics Of YoungJezzy At His Album Release Party,There So Nice&Beautiful,I Had 2Add Them 2My Screen OWN My MillionDollar IPhone4 HomeScreen,That Way I Just Tap The Screen 2C Them,May God Continue To Shine Down OWN U,Showering U With His ManyMany Blessings&May U Recieve All The 1′s He Has N Store 4U.AMEN
what happen to the funernal homes,dog burials, tazzers…..etc??
maybe im too busy drinking like a fish and acting like a fool?? hiccup!!
to remember…
They went to the same grave Nene’s charity, She by Sheree acting career, Lisa Wu real estate, chubby girl snow’s charity, tardy for the party, ms Lawrence singing career and fly above the haters album went……………………..
they are all fos
@watchwsytoomuchtv…wtf were you drinking? lol
Sometimes people wonder why black people don’t do business with their own kind…sorry to say tjat.
Kendra is a joke…why in the hell she was trying to jump on the back end. Where they do that at?
Good luck phaedra…I am not the video work out type person..but many are..
"Where they do that at?"
Everywhere actually. It’s industry standard for producers, actors, crew to get a backend percentage, especially cause often there is not enough money to pay for production costs in addition to their services up front.
I could care less that Phaedra attended the inauguration-Several people attended, so what? I like this site, but I’m really getting tired of the blogger trying to make Fakedra look classy & BIg Moma Kandi look honorable. Fakedra is a phony & Kandi is a tricking freak. You pick the other ladies apart while trying to make your buddies look good. Be fair!! And I agree with the cooments that Apollo finally has a job & as soon as he gets on, he’ll leave Fakedra, cause he looks bored all the time.
I live for the nicknames…Big Moma Kandi(in my Marlo voice, of course)… .ty, Tara, I’m using that!LOL!
WHY U HATING BITCH???
Agreed! This site owner is clearly a fan all up Phaedra’s fat donkey azz. She’s a reality show celeb, no one knew her in the A before this idiot show. She wasabi nobody…I mean come on… An attorney for strippers and Bobby Brown was her only claim to fame! Chile pleeeez, as we say in the south!
LMAO @ THIS DRY THIRSTY WANNA BE HOODRAT BITCH!! SOUTHERN BELL MY ASS!!!
LMAO @ THIS DRY THIRSTY WANNA BE HOODRAT BITCH!! SOUTHERN BELL MY ASS!!! BITCH WEARING RABBIT FUR TO INAGURATION.
You having a bipolar moment huh Kandi I mean Kenya?! lol
that aint no rabbit thats a rat!!
