Phaedra Parks is in negotiations to return to 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' after a controversial exit years ago. Sources indicate that Bravo is working on finalizing her contract, with hurdles due to her current commitment to 'Married to Medicine'. Cynthia Bailey, initially set as a friend of the show, has been filming more scenes, possibly hinting at an increased role. This development follows Kenya Moore's departure amid allegations of sharing explicit images of a fellow cast member. The upcoming season will see familiar faces like Porsha Williams and Drew Sidora alongside new additions like Brittany Eady and Kelli Ferrell.
