Attorney Phaedra Parks of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was a special guest on last night’s “Watch What Happens LIVE!” after show with Andy Cohen.
Parks, whose hubby Apollo served drinks as eye-candy for the night, spoke about the untimely passing of her good friend Whitney Houston.
As you know, Parks once represented Houston’s husband Bobby Brown on numerous cases during their residency in the city of Atlanta and she provided legal assistance during their “Being Bobby Brown” reality show days.
Parks revealed that the couple had a connection even after the drama surrounding their addictive behaviors and subsequent divorce.
Of all the married couples I’ve been around, I can say they probably had the PUREST love I’ve ever been around.
It was a connection like none other and while people always made sweeping judgments about the relationship, they were crazy about each other.
And even after the divorce, I spoke to Whitney on numerous occasions and I knew that they still had a connection.
Andy, who appeared shocked at her answer, also asks Phaedra about her opinion on the public’s perception that it was Brown who caused Whitney’s downfall.

Paltrow, who normally attends the show with her bff Beyonce (who was a no show show this year along with her hubby Jay-z) was on-hand to introduce Adele’s performance of “Rolling in the Deep” and the actress’ gown was designed by Stella McCartney and included cut-out details and a gold belt.
