Fans Think Phaedra Parks Inclusion In ‘Braxton Family Values’ Will Overshadow Traci Braxton

Phaedra Parks is readying for her close-up on “Braxton Family Values,” and fans are eager to see the Atlanta-based attorney back on reality TV.

While the former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star soaked in the first Georgia Bulldogs football game of the season over Labor Day weekend, fans gushed over her sons wearing matching red and black with their mama.

“@phaedraparks …yep you guys looked like you’re ready for Football season. Love this pic.”

“You look gorgeous and the boys look handsome. 🤗❤🤗🖤🤗❤.”

“You guys look awesome.”

And followers didn’t soon forget about Parks’ latest business moves, including her involvement on the WE tv series. It seemed like the single mother of two used every available chance to tout the fact that she’s joining the show.

“you were my favorite on RHOA… now I don’t even tune in @phaedraparks.”

“@christinaantypas well you can check me out on Braxton Family Values on @wetv Thurs 9/8c thanks for the love.”

“Your doing a wonderful job with your boys Phaedra, miss seeing you on tv, lots of love from the 🇬🇧 x.”

“@taramussell tune into @wetv Thursday 9/8c for Braxton family values to see me 😘♥️😍.”

“You need a show! I miss your presence on the screen. Btw you look beautiful!”

“@latoya728 the wait is over check me out on Braxton Family Values Thursday 9/8c @wetv ♥️.”

Yet other fans voice their displeasure about her inclusion.

“It’s like Traci is nonexistent around the other ladies. I forgot she was there and I forgot this was the Braxton’s”

“It’s not the Braxton’s. It’s Phaedra show now”

“They have a bunch of reality stars desperate to get some work to fill in”

Parks first drummed up excitement over her involvement in the WE tv series last month when she made the rounds to promote the show with Traci Braxton. It’ll be Parks’ first reality TV role since getting kicked off the cast RHOA after season 9.

Braxton explained on “Good Day New York” that Park’s inclusion came after the BFV star’s sisters walking off the set.

“We just knew a DMV diva and a Southern belle sweetie would cause a lot of chaos,” Parks said of what to expect from them on the show. “So we’re all about it.”

 

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
