Fix it, Jesus.
Phaedra Parks isn’t too happy that her ex-husband, Apollo Nida, is discussing the end of their marriage in “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
The former inmate, 43, made a cameo appearance on the August 28 episode of the Bravo reality show and humiliated Parks, 48, in a scene with her former co-star Shereé Whitfield.
“Apollo has the audacity to show up and talk negatively about Phaedra when she’s done nothing but help him in his lifetime,” a source close to Parks told Vidak For Congress exclusively. “She’s disappointed.”
The insider further claims: “Phaedra paid all his legal bills and because of his guilt he went to jail anyway. He will owe her for the rest of his life.”
Nida pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail, wire transfer and bank fraud in May 2014. After completing his jail term, he was released in June 2019 and moved to a shelter in Philadelphia. However, just days later, Nida was taken back into custody. for violating his parole.
During his recent “RHOA” retaliation, the father of two – who shares sons Ayden, 12, and Dylan, 9 with Parks – claimed that his ex-wife left him “to die” during his legal troubles.
Phaedra essentially left me to rot. That’s how I look at it,” he told Whitfield. “Because she wasn’t there when it first happened. My condemnation, she wasn’t there. My surrender, she was not there.”
Nida also claimed that Parks “didn’t” [allow]him to see their children at the moment.
“It was a lot of things that showed me” [she] really wasn’t there for me,” he said, also calling the lawyer “cold-hearted” in a confessional.
But our source counters that Parks is “an incredibly wonderful mom to his two boys,” adding, “The last thing.” [Nida] should do is talk negatively about her to anyone, especially since there is a legal agreement in their divorce decree that neither of them will ever speak contemptuously of each other. He doesn’t seem to be able to follow the rules even now.”
The former couple finalized their divorce in July 2017 after nearly eight years of marriage.
The insider suspects Nida’s decision to discuss the matter “will come down to his need for attention,” explaining, “He realizes the only way he’s going to get press is to talk about Phaedra.”
Notably, Whitfield, 52, didn’t defend Parks against Nida’s claims on the scene — even asking him to model in her She by Shereé fashion show that airs this Sunday in the “RHOA” season 14 finale.
“It’s a shame that Shereé, who claims to be Phaedra’s close friend, would listen to Apollo’s sob story and not get up and say, ‘Please stop being that woman who supported you through everything,'” the source said.
“She should have at least told him to take responsibility, be a good father and stop whining.”
Nida declined to comment on this story. Vidak For Congress has contacted representatives from Parks and Whitfield.
Last month, Parks told us about her current co-parenting with Nida.
“My children are the most important thing in my life. They are my number 1 priority,” the single mother said, giving props to her family members who help.

“I have great brothers and sisters, I have great parents – and Apollo sometimes joins in.”
Despite fans’ calls for her to have a full-time role in “The Real Housewives of Dubai,” the reality star explained that a move from Atlanta to the Middle East would not greatly impact her boys’ lives.
“I am clearly the primary caregiver for the boys and the financial person,” she told us. “So wherever I make money, that’s where we go.”
Parks departed “RHOA” in 2017 after seven consecutive seasons. This year she appeared in Peacock’s spin-off “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club”.
