Phaedra Parks to Kenya Moore: I’m Not Fat, I’m Pregnant!

By: Taren Vaughan

Phaedra Parks’ workout DVD ‘Phine Body: Donkey Booty’ that she put out with her husband Apollo sparked an ongoing beef between her and one of her newest cast mates Kenya Moore. Their beef started out with them firing shots at each other, Phaedra blasting Kenya for having a fake booty while Kenya called Phaedra out for being “too fat” to do a workout DVD. Kenya though had enough of Phaedra’s insults as Kenya threatened a very pregnant Phaedra during the reunion show, a threat that Kenya said she regrets. While Kenya insisted that Phaedra was carrying a few pounds too many to be doing a fitness DVD, Phaedra revealed in an interview that she did with The Rickey Smiley Morning Show that she was in fact three months pregnant when she was filming for her fitness DVD. And she also says that people should be comfortable in their own skin as we all are not meant to be one particular size. And we know she couldn’t help but to toss just a little more shade Kenya’s way about her body that Phaedra still thinks isn’t 100% authentic:

“Well I was three months pregnant when I made the video. We just didn’t reveal it on the show. But I was three months pregnant. But umm, too fat? Hmm, y’all see me. I’m thin and pregnant. Not even thin but I’m around a regular sized woman. I’m all natural. All this God gave me, I grew it. And I mean, everybody’s not made to be skinny, everybody’s not made to be fat. So you gotta be happy in the skin you’re in. So I’m advertising what’s real.”

Phaedra is expecting her second child very soon, some celebrities awaiting their first at the moment including Kim Kardashian who says that people’s comments about her have gotten much meaner since she’s been pregnant. And Phaedra says that people sometimes come down way too hard on pregnant women:

“Well I mean what you gotta remember, when women are pregnant, they’re going through a whole transition. I’m growing a baby, she’s [Kim Kardashian] growing a baby. And I mean, people are too hard on pregnant women. I mean obviously you don’t wanna gain a lot of weight. But at the end of the day, some people do. I mean, it just happens. You’re not supposed to be skinny and pregnant.”

NeNe Leakes said on the reunion that she felt a ‘housewife’ needed to be shown the exit door. And when Phaedra was asked who she would vote off the show, she responded by saying that she thinks all of her cast mates bring something different to the table which is why their show is so popular.

It was reported that Phaedra Parks has her own spin-off  on the way and she gave more details as to what Rich People’s Problems is all about:

“Well it’s gonna be me doing what I do best, being a lawyer. And I’m doing mediation and arbitration for basically rich folks…The cases are very outlandish but it’s been real fun.”
