All the "Real Housewives" shows are a bit of a revolving door. Cast members come and cast members go, all depending on the real lives of these reality stars.
The last "Real Housewife" to be thought of as a goner is Phaedra Parks- as was reported in Christian Today, it was previously thought that Parks would be departing "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" after the seventh season, so that she could devote more time to her family. Parks' husband, Apollo Nida, was recently awarded a lengthy prison term, which could be the reason for her supposed absence.
However, some information about Parks' departure from the show- and her potential return- was just revealed by fellow cast member NeNe Leakes. Leakes, in an interview with Madame Noire, revealed the following when asked about Parks' status as a "Real Housewife."
"Bravo has to make that announcement. Y'all don't put your money on her not being back, how about that?"
From those words, it definitely sounds like Parks is due for a return. But Leakes didn't stop there- she also had plenty of words for Apollo Nida, and what his jail time might do to his and Parks' family.
"You know things happen when you break the law. I like Apollo and I really do hate that this happened. I think Apollo is smart. And they have to little young boys...eight years is a long time. That's a long time to give your life away. I can't give these people seven days. I hate it happened, I really do. And I also hate that it's public. They're already going through something, he's got to be going through something and she's going through something and now the public is all in it."
But while Parks has been away, big things have been happening for the other housewives. Most notably, Porsha Williams was officially named a co-host of Dish Nation, as reported by Zap2it. Check out a video of Williams on Dish Nation below.
