Phaedra Parks, a fan-favorite alum of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA), is back in the headlines—and this time, she’s sparking major buzz around the hit Bravo series. While hinting at an exciting new season, Phaedra couldn’t resist throwing some shade at current cast member Drew Sidora, labeling her as “forgettable.” Here’s everything you need to know about the drama brewing behind the scenes and what this could mean for the upcoming season.
During a recent interview, Phaedra Parks opened up about her interest in the Real Housewives franchise and hinted at some potential future involvement. Known for her wit, iconic reads, and jaw-dropping moments during her tenure on RHOA from Seasons 3 through 9, fans have been clamoring for her return.
When asked about the upcoming season, Phaedra teased viewers by saying, “You never know what the future holds,” leaving fans speculating whether a surprise comeback might be on the horizon. Phaedra has stayed active in the Bravo world, most recently appearing on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club, where she quickly regained her place as one of the most compelling personalities in the franchise.
But it wouldn’t be Phaedra without a touch of drama, right? In the same interview, Phaedra didn’t hold back when discussing Drew Sidora, who joined the RHOA cast in Season 13. Describing Drew as “forgettable,” Phaedra raised eyebrows and reignited debates among fans over whether Drew has made her mark on the series.
“I honestly couldn’t remember her name,” Phaedra quipped. “She’s just... there.” This subtle jab was enough to send social media into a frenzy, with fans debating whether Drew has lived up to the expectations of being a Housewife or if she has faded into the background compared to the franchise’s more dynamic personalities.
Drew Sidora’s time on RHOA has been filled with ups and downs. While some viewers appreciate her openness about her personal struggles—like her marital challenges with husband Ralph Pittman—others feel that she hasn’t brought the level of energy or drama that fans expect from a Housewife.
With Phaedra’s recent comments, Drew’s impact on the show is now under scrutiny, and it’s unclear whether she’ll respond to Phaedra’s shade. However, knowing Drew’s history of clapping back, it wouldn’t be surprising if she has a few words of her own in the near future.
Phaedra’s playful jabs and her potential return to the show could shake up the dynamic on RHOA. Many fans have called for a cast overhaul in recent seasons, arguing that the show hasn’t delivered the same level of drama and entertainment that defined its earlier years.
A Phaedra return could reinvigorate the series and reignite iconic rivalries, particularly with her former nemesis, Kandi Burruss. Meanwhile, Drew Sidora will have to prove herself even more in the coming season to ensure she’s not overshadowed by the ongoing chatter about Phaedra.
As expected, social media exploded with reactions to Phaedra’s shade and the possibility of her returning to RHOA. On Twitter/X, fans debated whether Drew deserved the criticism or if Phaedra was simply stirring the pot as usual.
- “Phaedra is the queen of shade! But let’s be real, Drew isn’t exactly unforgettable...” one fan tweeted.
- “If Phaedra comes back, RHOA might actually be worth watching again,” another wrote.
- “Leave Drew alone! She’s bringing realness to the show, unlike some people who just want to shade from the sidelines,” a Drew supporter chimed in.
While Phaedra’s return to RHOA remains unconfirmed, her comments have undoubtedly reignited interest in the show. Whether this leads to Drew stepping up her game or creates tension between the two women remains to be seen.
One thing is for sure: Phaedra Parks knows how to keep people talking, and her presence—whether on-screen or off—continues to make waves in the Bravo universe. Will she officially reclaim her peach? And how will Drew Sidora respond to the shade? Fans will just have to stay tuned to find out.
