Phaedra Parks Returns To ‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ For Season 16 Following Kenya Moore’s Departure

A familiar face is returning to The Real Housewives Of Atlanta!

Moments ago (on July 29) Phaedra Parks confirmed that she’s returning to the popular Bravo reality series for season 16. In the Instagram post revealing the exciting news, Phaedra Parks poses in front of a plane with the signature peach for the Atlanta franchise in hand. She captioned the pictures,

“You called. I answered [peach emoji] #RHOA #S16”

Phaedra Parks’ RHOA comeback follows Kenya Moore’s reported departure from the show over allegations of revenge porn. As previously reported, newcomer Brittany Eady claimed Kenya Moore displayed explicit images of her while filming for the upcoming season. However, on June 26, Kenya Moore denied the allegations in a written statement shared online.

Despite Moore maintaining her innocence, reports surfaced that she was suspended from filming and then ultimately fired following an investigation. However, insiders shared with us that she actually decided to separate from Bravo due to dissatisfaction with how the network handled alleged threats from Brittany Eady. Allegedly, during a prior filming incident, Brittany Eady made threats involving a firearm toward Moore. The new peach holder has denied the allegations.

Phaedra Parks initially left RHOA following the reunion for season 9. There it was revealed that she started the rumor that recently retired Housewife Kandi Burruss attempted to drug and rape Porsha Williams, who’s also returning for season 16.
