While most of the women were familiar with Phaedra the attorney, she seemed out of place with the Peachtree divas, whose main focus was finding something cute to wear to a party and or to secure a wealthy man instead of balancing a clientele load and court cases. Phaedra was a quick study, and it wasn't long before audiences noticed a serious level up with her makeup, hair and wardrobe options. She shed a few pounds, including the dead weight of her husband with the model looks and criminal past, then quickly put herself back on the market looking for a much wealthier financier. Phaedra added several additional streams of income to her repertoire, including funeral director and exercise video vixen. Unfortunately, she was a bit too aggressive in her approach to being an "it girl" on the show. She was released after being exposed for concocting a dangerous lie about Kandi Burruss and tricking Porsha Williams into being the fall guy for her dirty work. She apologized, but it was too little, too late, and her peach was snatched immediately. But after multiple seasons off, she quickly ran back when the invitation was provided after a brief stint on Married to Medicine.

With the 'RHOA' cast shakeups, some fans are demanding producers bring back Phaedra Parks but her continued antics prove she doesn't belong.
Phaedra Parks Outwitted Most of Her Co-Stars on 'Real Housewives of Atlanta'
During her time on RHOA, Phaedra was usually the smartest and quickest in the room and that worked to her benefit. Except for Kenya Moore, Phaedra was able to run mental circles around most of her co-stars. Although Kenya possesses one of the quickest and wittiest mouths in the franchise, she would still be no match for the female physicians on Married to Medicine. The process of dumbing herself down from the in-demand attorney she was in the early 2000's left a lasting impression that Phaedra appears unable to shake. If she had joined Married to Medicine in 2010 instead of RHOA, her brand may have focused more on her brains instead of her new boobs. Phaedra's transformation from a successful lawyer to a sexy reality vixen has changed the essence of who she is and making her a better fit for the "fun girls" of RHOA than the substance-driven physicians on Married to Medicine.
Married to Medicine airs every Sunday on Bravo and can be streamed on Peacock.
