Phaedra Parks Trashes 'Hateful' Married to Medicine Cast as She Skips Reunion: 'They're Demonic Minions of Hell' liennhi

Phaedra Parks didn't mince her words when asked about her Married to Medicine costars.

As PEOPLE previously reported, the reality star skipped the taping of the Bravo show's season 11 reunion back in February. But as viewers learned while watching the special's first installment that aired on Sunday, March 23, Parks still had plenty to say about her former costars Dr. Jacqueline Walters, Dr. Simone Whitmore, Dr. Heavenly Kimes, Toya Bush-Harris, Quad Webb, Lateasha “Sweet Tea” Lunceford and Dr. Contessa Metcalfe.

Though she wasn't there in person, Parks made an appearance in the first moments of the reunion when host Andy Cohen teed up never-before-seen footage of the lawyer and mortician captured while she was filming her confessional interviews for the series.

Asked by a producer what she had learned from her time with the Married to Medicine ladies, Parks swiftly said that "they’re trash."

"I’m not going to be able to say that I enjoyed anything about this group because I feel like they’re demonic minions of hell," Parks, 51, said. "They are those bitches; those mean, angry Black womemn who are mean to other Black women because they’re fat, they’re funny looking — you know what I’m saying? They’re just jealous and hateful."

She went on to seemingly explain her reasons for exiting the series.

"I don’t see a future with these ladies because they don’t like me and I like people who like me and I don’t try to participate in spaces that I’m not welcome in," Parks said. "So I’m very happy to be leaving. I’m ecstatic."

As one might imagine, the Married to Medicine cast were hurt by Parks' words.

"That’s terrible," said Bush-Harris. "That’s really bad because we welcomed her last year and was so happy to have her a part of the group. That’s deep."

When Webb wondered who Parks was referred to as "trash," Whitmore said, "I don't know."

"None of us have presented or done the trash that she used to do," Whitmore continued, in what appeared to be a reference to Parks' past behavior on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. "None of us have gone that deep."

Though Parks seemed to be speaking to the Married to Medicine cast as a whole, Lunceford said on the reunion that she, Bush-Harris and Metcalfe had all been in contact with Parks after the mother of two quit the series.

"I think Phaedra is just in a place right now where she doesn’t have a friend in the group," Lunceford explained. "I think she just felt like she didn’t fit in."

Parks joined Married to Medicine in season 10, a move that marked her return to Bravo after a lengthy absence from the network.

Fans first met Parks when the lawyer was representing Bobby Brown in 2005's Being Bobby Brown. Five years later, in 2010, she joined RHOA's third season and remained on the series for the next six seasons.

She left after season 9's climax in 2016, where she admitted to spreading inflammatory rumors that Kandi Burruss and her husband Todd Tucker allegedly planned to drug costars Porsha Williams and Shamea Morton to take advantage of them sexually. (Burruss and Tucker have vehemently denied the claims.)

As for why she left Married to Medicine, that all went awry when Park's ex-husband Apollo Nida and his now-estranged wife, Sherien Almufti, showed up on the cast trip. Though Parks was told about Nida potentially coming on the getaway before they left, she seemed blindsided by Almufti's participation.

"Some people can be played with, and I'm not one of them," Phaedra told Walters, as she packed and left.

And while she's done with Married to Medicine, Parks will be back on RHOA later this season.

"You called, I answered," Parks said on Instagram when announcing she had gotten her peach back.

Married to Medicine airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo, while The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs an hour before at 8 p.m. ET. Episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
