Phaedra is certainly an interesting choice by the network, as she left ‘RHOA’ following a scandal.

The lawyer-turned-reality TV star was eventually revealed as the source of the troubling gossip during the Season 9 reunion.

However, don’t expect a big showdown between Phaedra and Kandi in season 16, as KB left the show before the new season.
