According to a new report, Phaedra Parks was fired from The Real Housewives of Atlanta because of a “morality clause” in her contract. “There are lines listed in all cast members’ contracts that they cannot cross,” a source told Page Six. “Libel is one of them. She’s in breach of contract and the cast basically said, ‘Us or her.'”
As viewers recall during the explosive four-part Season 9 reunion, Porsha Williams claimed that Parks told her that Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker, had wanted to drug Williams, and bring her back to their house for sex. The rumor was later proved to be totally false as Williams exposed Parks of telling her, which Parks fessed up to spreading the rumors.
The 43-year-old Atlanta attorney starred on seven seasons of the hit reality show, and her sudden termination caught her now former co-stars completely off guard, and put them in a Catch-22.
“This has come as a total shock,” a source told Radar Online. “They are now confused about how to act on the show, but if they are boring they will get FIRED too!”
Now, according to the publication, Parks is blaming one of the producers for providing her with the false information.
“Phaedra tried to blame producers for manipulating the scenario, and it was cut from the reunion show. They’re not allowed to break the ‘fourth wall’ and talk about production. It may not have been entirely Phaedra’s fault, but she has to take the fall,” a insider said.
A Parks source said there was “a producer who told her the drug and rape story, which she repeated to another cast member. It snowballed. The editing was not kind to her.”
A Bravo rep told Page Six that “production is not involved.”
