Pinky Cole’s comments about filing for bankruptcy results in a shady moment with Phaedra Parks.
Part 1 of the Season 17 reunion of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” was full of shady moments. Porsha Williams took on K. Michelle and Kelli Potter. Angela Oakley and Drew Sidora also had a little back and forth with Kelli, who they suspect has taken on Shamea Morton’s beefs.
At the end of the episode, it became clear that Shamea and K. Michelle’s friendship is no longer in the best place. And they will address what led to their tension in Part 2. Interestingly, it looks as if Phaedra Parks and Pinky Cole have a tense moment in the next episode.
In the preview, Andy Cohen asks Pinky where she is in her bankruptcy process.
“Pinky, where do things stand with the bankruptcy proceedings?”
Pinky answers, “To be honest, at first it was very embarrassing just because blogs be blogging. I’m sure everybody here can agree. I’m almost at the finish line, and I’m happy. It’s like a rebirth, and I would do it all over again if I had to. The US bankruptcy code is a tool. And I’m sure that there are some other ladies that will probably do it in the future as well.”
Phaedra takes issue with Pinky saying that filing for bankruptcy is a tool.
“I find it very interesting that you think bankruptcy is a tool and it’s a positive thing. I mean, I know that you had investors that gave you $25 million. Those were African American investors. And so…”
Pinky clarifies, “No, I had white investors too, thank you.”
Phaedra responds, “But you had plenty African Americans.”
Pinky shows annoyance.
“More white than black, so and next? And it doesn’t matter the color. It’s institutional capital, private equity money. People file for bankruptcy all the time.”
After Phaedra once again specifies that she doesn’t like that Pinky said bankruptcy is a tool, Pinky says:
“It is a tool, and I’ma tell you why it’s a tool because people don’t really know the real story of what happened. Because I’m a professional, I protected a lot of people. And that’s none of your business. Okay?”
Now Phaedra is over it.
“I didn’t ask, and all you do is brag,” says Phaedra.
When Pinky tells Phaedra that it could happen to her, Phaedra strongly disagrees.
“No, it couldn’t have happened to me because I’m self-funded.”
Pinky then says, “Let me teach you about business.”
Phaedra responds, “You don’t have to teach me. I’m very successful. I’ve been in business for 20 years.”
Pinky goes on to tell Phaedra that she needs to win more cases. Phaedra asks what cases she lost, and Pinky answers:
“Call Bobby Brown.”
Phaedra replies, “Call Bobby Brown! If I was a bad attorney, baby, I was with Bobby Brown for 8 years.”
