Former RHOA star, Phaedra Parks has finally spoken out on ex husband, Apollo Nida going back to jail.
Apollo went to jail back in 2014 for fraud and identity theft. He was released from prison in June and moved into a halfway house, where he was expected to stay until the middle of October. But, after breaking a technical violation of his release he was taken back into custody by the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
In a recent interview with the DailyMail, Phaedra revealed that Apollo had told her and the kids that he was being released early, but she was still skeptical.
‘Apollo had been telling me that he was coming home early. I’m of the mindset, “I’ll believe it when I see it,” Phaedra Parks shared with the media outlet. And so when he called us on FaceTime and he was in a car and we could see that he was outdoors and so he said, “I’ve been released” and we were all excited because of course I want the boys to have a relationship with their father – and it would be great to have that support from Apollo.
‘But of course, you know, nine days later he was rearrested.’ ‘I was disappointed, but at the same time, I don’t know if I was that shocked because he is a risk taker and I just hate it because now it’s just above all of us, only Jesus can fix it. ‘I can’t make him be what he doesn’t want to be. He has to want to change.”
On raising her two sons as a single mother, Phaedra shared:
‘I make sure I have great guys from the Church that mentor them. And so I have a village of people that really help me parent them and make sure that they’re getting the things they need as young African American boys.’
Good stuff!
