Real Housewives of Atlanta Fans rejoice: Phaedra Parks is back!
After six loooong seasons without her, Phaedra is reclaiming her place and taking her rightful place among the main stars of the upcoming 16th season.
She made her triumphant announcement as only she could, while also dropping hints about what we can expect from her return.
Phaedra Parks Returns to ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’:
“You called. I answered,” Phaedra shared on Instagram to mark her return.
In the photos, Phaedra, very blonde, holds a peach in her left hand and balances herself descending the stairs of a private jet with the other.
Surrounded by luggage – or perhaps you could say, baggage – she gives the camera a mischievous smile, hinting that she’s ready to return to the show with full force!
At the moment, RHOA is in production on season 16
It’s said that despite the return of beloved cast members like Phaedra, this season is set to be a reboot.
And given all the recent drama, we can understand why.

Kenya Moore, ‘RHOA’ Season 16, and Phaedra’s Firing Rumors
Shortly after filming began on season 16, Kenya Moore was involved in an incident where she allegedly posted sexually explicit photos of her co-star.
Kenya was suspended from filming pending an investigation, but instead of continuing, he left the series your own terms.
Perhaps that’s why fans have been clamoring for Bravo to consider offering Phaedra Parks her peach back to save the show. Phaedra hasn’t filmed an episode since 2019, when Kenya reportedly demanded that Phaedra be fired!
She admitted to the press that the show needed something “new” and that Phaedra was too “tedious“to continue with the cast.
Whether Kenya had anything to do with Phaedra’s departure is unknown, but either way, her departure paves the way for Phaedra’s return. Plus, the girl did well in Atlanta!

Phaedra’s Other Projects
With your return to RHOAParks will have a double shift on Bravo.
After leaving RHOAshe was added as a main cast member in Married to Medicine. She just finished filming season 11, her second season on the reality show.
Along with this, she became a fan favorite in the most recent season of the competition show. The Traitors.
So she did well – but her heart was always with her. Atlanta. It really feels like it was a long time coming and we’re glad everyone involved was able to work it out.
Season 16 looks like it’s going to be amazing!
