‘Come Through Phae’: Phaedra Parks’ New Hair Sets Fans Ablaze with Excitement

Phaedra Parks took fans by surprise on Feb. 10 when she posted her burgundy tresses paired with an emerald suede ensemble.

Parks accessorized the look with dangle earrings and a full face. The former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star captioned the snapshot, “When you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready! #letsgo.” Fans flooded the star’s comments section with compliments on the new hairdo.

“Come Through Phae.”

“Parks you better do it @phaedraparks 🔥.”

“You look gorgeous and can pull off any look🔥❤️.”

“You just exude so much class❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰😘😘😘.”

“Watch out now!!”

As many admired Parks’ burgundy locks, some mentioned how much they missed the former housewife. One wrote about how they wished she would return to the popular franchise: “Can you return to RHOA like now!!! We need you!!!😍😍😍” 

“Please hurry back to HOUSEWIVES OF ATL!! THEY NEED YOU!!! The show is nothing without you on it!!”

Another Instagram user said while replying to the former reality star’s initial caption, “You have to get ready to stay ready. 😂 I get your message!👍🏿 The RHOA is not the same without you.”

Last July, while promoting “Marriage Boot Camp: Hip-Hop Edition,” Parks discussed her name being brought up by her former cast mate Nene Leakes — who ultimately left the franchise later that year — as someone she would like to see return to the series. 

The mother of two told Too Fab that although she is still friends with Leakes and that many have fond memories of her on the show, she doesn’t plan on coming back anytime soon. 

“I love it that people obviously want me to return, but right now I’m finding love, I’m loving love, and I’m in a great place. I love it when people associate me with positive memories of watching the show, but I’m trying to find love at this moment, so, honey, I’m not trying to fight love, I’m trying to find it!”

Parks was booted from the hit Bravo series in 2017, following the season 9 reunion where she confessed to starting a rumor about her former co-star Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker allegedly wanting to and drug and rape Porsha Williams. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — 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.
