Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Phaedra Parks made her return to reality TV a few weeks back on Braxton Family Values, helping to fill the void left by the majority of the Braxton family. Four of the sisters -- Toni, Trina, Towanda and Tamar -- all went on strike midway through filming season six, leaving the show’s future in jeopardy. Only Traci Braxton kept her commitment to filming, with the show refocusing on her life, including her newfound friendship with Phaedra.
“We've always loved each other from afar, and now we're up close and personal,” Phaedra gushes. “I obviously know Traci, know her sisters, and have a lot of respect for them. So, when I received the call, I said, 'Well, I have to know what I'm really getting myself into,' because, of course, I'm not new to it, honey. I'm an old vet.”
Phaedra calls the casting “a match made in heaven.” The ladies were just acquaintances before producers surprised Traci with Phaedra, as well as comedian Luenell and Bad Girls Club star Natalie Nunn, at a “wellness boot camp” filmed for the show.
“When I heard it was the Braxtons, I was very excited,” she adds. “They are huge! And they've contributed so much to showing positive images of women, women of color. So, I was like, 'Oh! This will be fun!' So, I showed up and she showed up, and hey!”
