Phaedra Parks made a massive comeback to Bravo viewers in season 10 of the popular reality show “Married to Medicine.” However, after a tumultuous year and a half, the lawyer and mother of two decided to leave the group during an intense altercation in Key West, Florida, in season 11.
At the anticipated reunion, fans were hoping to hear Phaedra Parks’ side of the story. Nonetheless, she chose to forgo the filming of the reunion special. Despite her absence, she still found a way to make her presence known. During a sneak peek of the upcoming three-part special, scheduled to air on March 23, 2025, host Andy Cohen surprised the ladies with a never-before-seen confessional clip of Parks, where she didn’t mince words about her former co-stars.

Phaedra Parks Blasts Her Co-stars As ‘Angry Black Women’
For anyone not up to speed with the events, Phaedra Parks reappeared on “Married to Medicine” for season 11. However, she abruptly left in the middle of filming after feeling blindsided by an encounter with her ex-husband and his new spouse during their cast trip in Florida.
But that’s not all that Parks went through during her run on the show. The reality star, who will also make her return to the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” for season 16 later this year, feuded intensely with some of the other women, including Dr. Heavenly Kimes, Dr. Simone Whitmore, and Dr. Jackie Walters.
When Parks was leaving the cast trip, she told Walters that she doesn’t “play with these types of mean girls” before informing her that she wouldn’t return to the group.

At the reunion, Cohen played one of Parks’ final confessionals, in which she addressed her departure and the status of her relationship with the women.
When asked what she’d learned from the ladies, Parks said she discovered they were “trash” individuals before saying she didn’t “enjoy anything about this group.” She continued: “I feel like they’re demonic minions of hell.”
However, her reckless comments didn’t end there. Parks continued and slammed the cast of doctors and doctors’ wives as “those b-tches,” adding they’re “mean, angry, Black women” who are nasty to other women of color because they’re “jealous” and “fat.”

Bravo Fans Are Defending Phaedra Parks On Social Media
On X, formerly Twitter, Bravo fans began reacting to the sneak peek, and many seemingly agreed with Parks’ assessment of the women.
“So, y’all gonna sit … here and act like ‘Married to Medicine’ have not been mean, nasty girls who treat folks like crap?” one user asked. “Phaedra said exactly how she felt.”
Another user agreed and called out some of the women who have “accused someone of doing drugs” and “f-cking [a] married man.”
“Why are we acting like the ‘M2M’ ladies haven’t made up crazy rumors as well?” a third person wrote. “Like, what behavior is different?”

Phaedra Parks Has Been In The Hot Seat With Her Co-Stars
Although Parks’ comments could be surprising to some, she has been on the defense with her co-stars for some time.
Tensions began to boil when Parks appeared on “Dancing With The Stars” and boldly claimed to revive “Married to Medicine.”
“Well, of course I did,” she said. “I revive most shows. Look at the numbers for ‘Married to Medicine.'”
Quad Webb, who joined the reality show during its first season in 2013, clapped back at her during an interview of her own and expressed her disappointment with Parks’ comments, adding that their show gave her a chance to return to “the world of entertainment.”
“So, pay homage to the girls because we won’t be paying homage to you,” Webb finished.

Kimes Says Parks Doesn’t Have The Same Values As The ‘M2M’ Cast
Kimes also opened up about Parks during an interview with Deadline and praised the “Traitors” alum for being a “great girl” and a “beautiful woman.” However, the “Smiles by Heavenly” business owner doesn’t believe Parks meshes well with her social circle.
“… [but] I think, her value systems are a little bit different from ours. I mean, we’re married to medicine. We’re very family-oriented, as far as like being a unit with a husband and wife. We’re doctors or doctors’ wives. I don’t think she ever fit in that capacity,” she said.
Parks Is Still On Bravo
Despite leaving the “Married To Medicine” ladies in her rearview, Parks still has a thriving career on Bravo.
In the summer of 2024, the attorney announced her grand return to “RHOA” with a special Instagram post in which she was seen wearing a flashy two-piece set while holding a peach in front of a private jet.
“You called, I answered,” she captioned the carousel of pictures.
