Phaedra Parks says she’s at peace with NeNe Leakes, but still not cool with Kenya Moore.
The attorney-turned-mortician has been laying low ever since she delivered her son three weeks early via emergency C-section. In an interview with TooFab, she says that most of her Real Housewives of Atlanta cast mates have shown their support.
“Kandi and Todd came to the hospital. Cynthia has talked to me several times since giving birth. And Porsha sent a wonderful gift,” she said. She seems a little sour at NeNe Leakes, whom she says “hasn’t reached out.” Still, she insists that the former frenemies are playing nice these days.
“I did just receive an invitation to her wedding.” The Southern Belle says she’ll definitely attend Nene’s nuptials, and hopes to put their checkered past behind her. “I like NeNe but she doesn’t always like me,”
Phaedra is still pissed at her quirky costar, Kenya Moore. “I only met her when she joined the show,” Phaedra admitted. “We’ve known each other for a few months, and months does not make lifelong friends.”
