Fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta were thrilled to see the show return for a seventh season last night on Bravo. One of the biggest storylines this season will likely be Phaedra Parks dealing with the fact that her husband, Apollo Nida, has been locked up for eight years on a slew of fraud and identity theft charges. In last night's premiere, Nida claimed his mistakes were fixable and absolutely flipped on Parks for not being there to support him.
Nida refuses to take responsibility for his criminal activities and selfishly blames Parks for their ruined marriage. Rather than attend Nida's sentencing date, Parks instead took the couple's two young sons and stayed at a hotel until the chaos settled. She knew her being in court was not going to change the outcome and in the meantime she did not want the media attention disrupting her children. When Parks returned to the family home a few days later, Nida went off on her for not being a good wife and standing by him no matter what.
While the rest of the cast seemed divided over whether or not Parks did the right thing, she pointed out the obvious: Nida was never thinking about the greater good of the family and instead betrayed her completely. In truth, Parks likely knew better as she first hooked up with her husband after he was released from prison several years ago. She claims to have believed he really had changed his ways, at least until he was indicted last January. Now Parks feels like he played her and she is left to pick up the pieces alone as a single mother.
Do you think Nida has been extremely selfish in expecting his wife to support him as he is escorted off to jail? We now know that Parks has filed for divorce and is already taking major steps to leave her life with Nida in the past. Do you blame her?
