‘Big Ol’ Turkey Leg’: Phaedra Parks Turns Heads Over Her ‘Thick’ Thigh

Phaedra Parks continues to soak up the sun in Cuba with her young sons and shared some photos of the family gathering with locals in Havana. But one picture of Parks and her boys is turning heads.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star uploaded a series of photos with 9-year-old Ayden Nida and 6-year-old Dylan Nida, the latter of whom elected the destination for the clan’s fall excursion.

“My youngest son chose this trip after studying the #cars and #culture-we fell in love with #Cuba when we met the #peopleโฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ #family #travel #travelwithkids #Habana #Havana #Cuba,” Parks wrote in the caption of the Oct. 18 Instagram photo.

Fans initially began celebrating the family affair.

“So such a beautiful and intelligent family!”

“She is always team her kids! And in a nice way! I never forget how she and the first born drives to his firstday school and cried that hey gonna miss each for her. On the show.๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œbeautiful mom!๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒผ”

“Beautiful picture of yโ€™all ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ”

“You have very, smart Children, of course they have a very beautiful and smart Motber also, please continue to show them the world ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ”

But then, fans of “RHOA” began to notice the Atlanta-based attorney’s muscular left leg jutting out from the split of her colorful dress.

“Is that thigh alright ?”

“@malawiangirlskillingit ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ itโ€™s tew much!!! Like if you wanna shop it โ€ฆ do just a lil ๐Ÿ˜ฉ” an Instagram user replied.

“Why her leg so damn big? ๐Ÿ˜• Looks weird. Yโ€™all need to ease up on the Facetune.”

“@theamazingtiff her ๐Ÿฆตlegs looks bigger then her whole body,” another person said in response.

Still, some folks appreciated what the “RHOA” alum had to offer.

“Them thick thighs๐Ÿ˜”

“Legs on ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ”

“The leg is outshines the Car”

Parks’ legs may have grabbed fans’ attention now, but typically it’s another feature that leaves them talking.

The rumored star of the upcoming season of “Marriage Boot Camp” gave her Instagram followers something to talk about when she posed in a skin-tight snakeskin print dress.

Preparing to head to the Atlanta Comedy Theater in the Atlanta suburb of Norcross, Georgia, to see Michael Colyar of “ComicView” perform, Parks paused to strike a pose outside her front door. As a result, fans were left fawning over her derriรจre.

โ€œโ€˜Lawd Jesus itsa fiiiire!โ€™ lol #love&respect”

โ€œServing #DonkeyBooty Realness! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพโ€

โ€œGo head Donkologist!!!โ€

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual โ€” and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
