This season of Married to Medicine has been a total rollercoaster, and a lot of the drama is thanks to Phaedra Parks.
She’s been calling out the show’s veteran cast members, labeling them as “mean girls” and claiming they make it hard for newbies to stick around.
As expected, that didn’t sit well with Dr. Simone Whitmore, who fired back during her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live.
When Andy Cohen brought up Phaedra’s “mean girls” comment, Simone didn’t hold back. She straight-up said Phaedra had been giving the cast an “unnecessary and unfit hard time.”
Then, in true Simone fashion, she threw some shade at Porsha Williams, hinting that Phaedra was just trying to reconnect with her old Real Housewives of Atlanta buddy.
“I think she was ready to be back with Porsha, ready to be back two peas in one pod.
Simone said. “Just say that, but don’t call us mean girls when you’re headed to the number one mean girl.”
And if that wasn’t enough, Simone also threw some shade at Kenya Moore, calling her out for past antics and social media beef.
The whole mess started during a couples’ trip, where Phaedra’s ex-husband, Apollo Nida, and his estranged wife, Sherien Copes, showed up unexpectedly. Awkward, right? Then Phaedra introduced her new boyfriend, Cheick, who casually mentioned he knew Apollo.
Phaedra, clearly over it, dipped out early on a private jet, leaving the rest of the cast to deal with the fallout.
Other reality stars have been weighing in too.
Gizelle Bryant from Real Housewives of Potomac called the way Phaedra was treated “horrible,” while the veterans, including Dr. Jackie Walters, insist they’re not the “mean girls” Phaedra’s making them out to be.
