Phaedra Parks may be returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta. 

According to reports, Parks is negotiating her contract with Bravo following Kenya Moore’s surprising exit. Parks joined the cast for season 3 and was fired in 2017 after season 9’s reunion drama with Kandi Burruss and Porsha Williams. 

Bravo is ready to finalize its contract with Parks, however, she currently has a contract with Married to Medicine, which she appeared in last season. This news comes after it has been reported that Cynthia Bailey is also set to return to the show as a “friend of the show.” 

She has allegedly been filming more scenes than originally planned since Moore’s exit. Although Bailey is filming more, it is unclear whether she will return as a full-time cast member. We reported that Kenya Moore was originally under investigation for allegedly displaying explicit photos of the newest cast member, Brittany Eady. 

Moore has denied all allegations and released a statement on her Instagram saying, “The rumors and narrative about me randomly showing nudes or revenge p is 100% untrue. I have proof and will share soon.”

Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta will feature Drew Sidora, Porsha Williams, Shamea Morton, and newcomers Angela Oakley, Kelli Ferrell, and Brittany Eady.
