Phaedra Parks Files $30 Million Dollar Lawsuit Against VIBE! [COURT DOC DETAILS]

Phaedra Parks of The Real Housewives of Atlanta isn’t playing around with all the rumor and innuendo surrounding that scandalous “Lies of a Housewife” book. Since VIBE first launched their social media campaign disguised as an “exclusive” story, it was quite evident to me that they were out to sell something and once I discovered that VIBE financially backed the book , written by ex-con Angela Stanton, it all made sense.

Robert Lingston, a longtime resident of Midtown Atlanta, dipped his napkin in his water glass and rubbed a dribble of a garlic-laden sauce off his red polo shirt. He looked across the table at his friend Janet and sighed. “I’m having a midlife crisis,” he said, looking around the room. He pushed each sleeve of his shirt up to better reveal his biceps. “I really am.” “Isn’t this like your second or third midlife crisis?” Janet asked. They were at Pura Vida in Poncey-Highland. Robert, a dedicated but gym-compulsive foodie, loved Chef Hector Santiago’s… >>
