Parks made a name for herself in the Bravo universe in 2010 upon joiningThe Real Housewives of Atlantain season 3. But sheleft the show after season 9, afteradmitting to spreading inflammatory rumorsthatKandi Burrussand her husband Todd Tucker allegedly planned to drug costarPorsha Williamsand their mutual friend Shamea Morton totake advantage of them sexually. (Burruss and Tucker have vehemently denied the claims.)
During her six seasons on the show, the reality star let fans into some of the most intimate moments of her life — from the birth of her two sons to the downfall of her marriage to ex-husband Apollo Nida, who is currently servingan eight-year prison sentenceafter pleading guilty to bank fraud and identity theft in May 2014,the same year they split.
Since then, Parks — who shares sons Ayden, 12, and Dylan, 9, with Nida — has made appearances on several other television series, includingMarriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop EditionandPeacock’sReal Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club.
