Phaedra Parks has poured ice cold water on rumors that she could be returning to the Real Housewives of Atlanta.
The 48-year-old left RHOA at the end of season nine – in 2017 – following an explosive fall-out with former best friend, Kandi Burruss.
Following her recent appearance on season two of The Ultimate Girls Trip, viewers have questioned whether the reality star was planning on picking up a peach again any time soon.
However, she has confirmed – in no uncertain terms – that this couldn’t be further from the truth.
‘No, I don’t want to pick up a peach,’ she said of the speculation. ‘If I wanted a peach, I would have a peach pie.
‘As I’ve made it very clear, that’s not what I want to do. No. I will be yachting. Let them continue to sail away on the Titanic, okay?’

Noted.
Despite not wanting to rejoin her ex-Atlanta Housewives for another season of drama, Phaedra admitted that she would be open to popping up in the cast of another franchise.
When questioned on whether she could be named as a full-time Dubai cast member, she teased to Entertainment Tonight: ‘That is a possibility, that is a strong possibility. You’ve got to run with people who are obviously running with the same purpose and destination…’
Phaedra made her debut in Atlanta on season three and sparked confusion and drama from the very beginning – when she couldn’t give a straight answer on her baby due date with former husband Apollo Nida.

She didn’t have an easy time of it in front of the camera and found herself tussling with Kenya Moore for a long period of time.
The spotlight was then put firmly on her marriage with Apollo after he was convicted of conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bank fraud, and eventually went to prison.
The lawyer eventually left the Bravo franchise ahead of season 10 after allegedly circulating a rumor that co-stars Kandi and Todd Tucker tried to drug and seduce fellow cast member Porsha Williams on a night out – something Kandi and Todd fiercely denied.

She insisted that she spoke of her exit while filming for Girls Trip, but the footage was not aired.
‘Just to be very honest, that was, what now five and a half, six years ago? And there’s two sides to that story,’ she added to ET of her controversial departure. ‘You only heard one and obviously they chose not to play the other side.
‘If obviously there was this whole issue with me and they didn’t want to be bothered with me, you wouldn’t see me popping up at every event. Because I didn’t invite myself, baby.’
Real Housewives of Atlanta and the Ultimate Girls Trip are both available to stream on hayu.
