I was the first to bring you the news back in February that Attorney Phaedra Parks was joining The Real Housewives of Atlanta and she is fast becoming a fan favorite on the popular show.

Newly wedded to her adorable hubby Apollo and also a hot new mom to little Ayden, Phaedra reveals a side of herself on the show that soon became the hot topic of many late night tv shows…

Her appearance on the show has been criticized and dissected by those who know her, and I, personally, came up with one theory…. although it’s hilarious, it’s all an act!

Phaedra confirms my theory in a recent interview.

Check out what she has to say about all that RHOA criticism and why she chose to do the show…

Phaedra Parks is many things: a lawyer, wife, mother and now one of the stars of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta.’ But she admits what you see on TV isn’t necessarily the way she is in real life.

“What you see on the camera is a character, so I sometimes don’t feel it’s who I am as a person.”

Parks also explains why she wanted to do the show. “I thought it would be a great challenge.”

How does she balance her extremely busy life? “It’s just effective time management. It’s just prioritizing what’s important,” she explains. (source)
