RHOA Phaedra Parks Defends Porsha Williams After Awkward Meeting With Cynthia Bailey

Newly single "Real Housewives of Atlanta" reality star, Phaedra Parks has gone through her first major holiday without her husband, Apollo Nida - who is serving 8 years in prison for Fraud and Conspiracy charges. Although, it's been a rough year for the attorney, she says she is thankful for her "true" friendships with former cast mate, Porsha Williams and NeNe Leakes.

In the 41-year-old's Bravo blog, she clarified who her true friends on the show were aside for the brief conversations among cocktails, "True friends delight in the building up of one another rather than bashing each other. Throughout my tumultuous situation it has been Porsha's sweetness, NeNe's constant support and advice, coupled with Kandi's steadfast friendship that has sustained and comforted me."

In a past episode, the reality star touched on her former friend, Cynthia Bailey's attitude and new mean girl behavior after her awkward conversation with Porsha Williams for her tardiness, "The exchange between Porsha and Cynthia during this week's episode was disappointing. I have always thought of Cynthia as a nice person, but her behavior last night was unbecoming. Porsha was late and I understand Cynthia's frustration. However, as Porsha's elder, Cynthia should be setting an example."

She added, "None of us are perfect, but we can all strive to be better. Also, timing and tone are often more important than the content of a message. It is unfortunate that the content and intention of the communication were lost due to a distracting tone and premature timing."
