Beefs are nothing new for “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast, but things got extremely heated on Sunday night’s episode when Phaedra Parks and “RHOA” newcomer Demetria McKinney ended up in a vicious war of words over Parks shading McKnney. Now, Mckinney is opening up about the incident and explaining why she confronted Parks.
In McKinney’s latest Bravo blog post, she addresses her first meeting with Parks during Sunday night’s episode, in which Parks and NeNe Leakes met with McKinney in the studio and, after McKinney shared news of her relationship and her singing career with them, Parks claimed that Mckinney was too old to be a pop star and that she’d waited too long for Roger Bobb to propose to her.
“I have never done anything to this girl!? And I felt that with the degrees she has and the situation she is in, this ‘Southern Christian belle’ can’t seriously be saying these ignorant things. No way! LOL! This was also my first real conversation with her, so I didn’t know her personality and tried to walk away and give her the benefit of the doubt. I also gave her multiple passes on the stupidity due to what she is going through. I tried to keep it cute and classy! But after asking if I had done crack, saying I am too old to pursue my dream, asking if I think my relationship is off kilter, and then to come to Puerto Rico and continue voicing nonsense about my clothes, I knew it had to stop,” McKinney wrote.
After their negative encounter in the studio, Parks continued to shade McKinney even after McKinney invited the ladies on a trip with her to Puerto Rico. McKinney finally snapped back at Parks during a group dinner, where she mocked the fact that Parks’ husband, Apollo, is going to jail.
“It’s crazy to me! People will sit there and poke at you in front of people and then get butt hurt when you finally punch them in the face in front of the same audience! Instead of making up some rude, obnoxious fiction, I reminded her of her truth. Something she has tried to get away from by resorting to talking recklessly about not only me but others in public forums. A person living in a broken glass house needs to pick up the pieces, not cut someone else because they’re mad. AND I GAVE HER AN OUT! I asked her, ‘Do you really want to do this?’ All the continued eye rolling and whispered shade gave me the go. Not what I wanted to do, but there’s only so far anyone will let your shade go before they clap back. But on the bright side, at least we know communion bread isn’t so boring!” McKinney explained.
And Parks isn’t the only one she had a gripe about. Read what she had to say about Leakes after the cut.
