RHOA Chuck Smith, Phaedra Parks 'Small P*nis' beef: Former NFL star calls Phaedra an 'Ugly Duckling' Apollo Nida getting in the mix?

Real Housewives of Atlanta reality star Phaedra is catching some real heat from former NFL athlete, Chuck Smith. The new member if the reality show is calling Phaedra an "ugly duckling" after she agreed with Kandi Burruss-who also dated him- that he has a small penis on the Bravo reality show.

In an interview with Gossip Extra, Chuck explained why he felt the women's comments were a direct attack toward his wife, new RHOA member, Mynique Smith.

"I've been surprised at all these attacks, which are more directed at my wife than me."

"I should have talked about them (Phaedra and Kandi) in a different way," Smith said. "And I should've given my wife a little more information about them. It's just unfortunate I got caught in this situation."

Smith admitted that he was young and that as a young NFL athlete, he had open relationships while dating Kandi, but Phaedra was just a hometown hookup.

"Why is what I did at 27 that important," he said. "It should be about what I do now, teaching the art of the pass rush and how to be a good NFL rookie." Smith said about Kandi, "she was nice" and "her momma cooked good food," adding, "But we were in a lifestyle of entertainment," Smith said. "I had four girls in every corner of the stadium."

As for the "southern bell," the Smith admitted that "Phaedra was just the ugly duckling from the sixth grade," he said. "It's unfortunate she got caught up in this."

Is Chuck at fault for the drama? Where is Phaedra's husband Apollo Nida?
