The men of RHOA re being so nasty and so rude e… Peter Thomas Responds To Apollo Nida Remember when we told you that Apollo Nida went on a jailhouse rant about his friend Peter Thomas being “fake”??? Well after Peter responded that he could “never be fake” and added that “his number hasn’t changed”, he’s now speaking further on their issues. TMZ reports: Sources close to Apollo tell us he became enraged after hearing Peter has been bad mouthing him, saying Apollo deserved his prison sentence for stealing and money laundering. Apollo feels betrayed by Peter, and is also upset he hasn’t heard a peep from Peter since getting locked up. Peter, who’s married to Cynthia Bailey, tells us his number hasn’t changed and he has no idea why Apollo would air his beef on social media instead of calling him from the slammer. Peter says he’s got a lot of friends in the big house and there’s a drill … they call you, because you can’t call them. Peter could have sat down and penned a letter, but he says he’s not much of a letter writer. The way Peter put it to us, “If I am a fake friend because I don’t write a letter, then I’m a fake friend.” Bloop, have a seat Apollo. In addition to blasting Peter Thomas, Apollo recently responded to reports that he agreed with Phaedra Parks’ decision not to bring their kids to visit him on Christmas. Hit the flip to see what he said.
Higher education has always been promoted as the best way to address most, if not all, of the Black community’s social and economic ills. But what if our personal quest for empowerment is actually helping to drive the school-to-prison pipeline? It is a question that some college students at the University of California have begun weighing and organizing around. More specifically, the student group, which calls itself the Afrikan Black Coalition (ABC), released a report last month on its website, revealing how the UC system, which includes 10 campuses across the state, is “an indirect investor of private prisons through mutual funds-managed by outside investment bankers.” Well, according to the ABC report, the UC system has allegedly invested $25 million in both the Corrections Corporation of America and private prison provider The Geo Group…In response to its own findings, the student group has decided to take action against the university… [ MadameNoire ] NYU Admin Prospective Student: If You Can’t Afford $65 Application Fee How Will You Pay $60K Tuition? Joshua Jackson is drawing much-needed attention to the exorbitant cost of higher education in America, not to mention the elitism and subtle racism that underlies much of that cost. The Black cartoonist gained Internet fame over the weekend when he exposed an NYU administrator for a rather out of pocket response to his request for the $65 application fee into one of the school’s master’s programs be waived. Jackson was interested in applying to the Tisch School of the Arts’ Art & Public Policy master’s program… Whatever enthusiasm Jackson had about this program dwindled significantly when he was basically told he’s too poor to help other poor people.

Even the men are fighting on RHOA … Apollo Nida Blasts Peter Thomas Even though he’s locked up till 2022, Apollo Nida is sending a message from behind bars. Phaedra Parks’ estranged hubby recently ranted on his Instagram about his now apparently ex-friend Peter Thomas. The felon who was convicted of wire fraud, is none too pleased with Cynthia Bailey’s husband and publicly aired him out for being fake. “In time one will see whom their fake friends really are,” he captioned the picture. His management team who’s apparently running his Instagram, then added that Apollo’s upset with his fellow RHOA star for not calling him since he’s been locked up. “It’s been well over a year and he hasn’t heard from Peter Thomas and Apollo thought they were boys,” they captioned a photo of the former friends. Well damn! What do YOU think about Apollo calling out Peter Thomas??? Hit the flip for Peter’s response.
Back in September of 2014 Apollo Nida turned himself in to authorities to begin serving an eight-year prison sentence on bank fraud on identity theft charges. Rather than spending his final months as a free man bonding with his children and attempting to reconnect with his wife, Phaedra Parks, Nida ditched his family for an epic pre-prison bender. And now it seems that the sordid details of his wild final weeks on the outside are being revealed for the first time in a tell-all memoir penned by a former stripper named Cashaun Sidney. In the book – titled Sordid Panties: Celebrities, Thots, Money & Scandal – Sidney details a booze and drug-fueled weekend that she spent with Nida while Parks seemse “Inside the house I started rolling the blunt of pot and just kept my mouth shut as I looked around the woman’s house in awe,” she writes. “I couldn’t believe in were in Phaedra’s house.” “Apollo poured shots of tequila for us and we proceeded to the of the house where we sat by the pool and smoked the pot.” Despite writing as though she’s providing court testimony, Sidney spins a bizarre tale that includes Apollo taking her friend into his baby’s room so that they could both “take a shower.” “Were they both in the baby’s room taking a shower?” she asks. “I don’t know.” We’re guessing they didn’t go into the room to get clean, if ya know what we mean. Despite she was estranged from her husband long before he began his prison sentence, Parks has not filed for divorce from Nida . Perhaps Sidney’s account of Apollo’s misbehavior will give Phaedra the nudge she needs to finally file the papers.
You may remember that Real Housewife of Atlanta Phaedra Parks went through a lot when her husband, Apollo Nida, was sent off to federal prison for a long…
Apollo Says He May Be Out Of Prison Soon Apollo Nida has barely been in the clink for a full year, but he’s already hinting that he may be bursting back out soon.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Episode 17 saw things fall apart as NeNe assembled a ladies therapy session that only made things worse. It wasn’t long before someone stormed off. Who was it, and why did she bolt? Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Episode 17 Online From the onset of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Episode 17 , tensions were already rising, and NeNe decided to do something about it. Sadly, what she decided to do appeared to do more harm than good. NeNe noted that relations with Kenya Moore, Claudia Jordan, Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks and Porsha Williams are “the worst they’ve ever been.” Ya think?? Kenya, Claudia, Cynthia, Kandi and Porsha show up to the group therapy session, but Phaedra feels she doesn’t need these “dark hearts.” Phaedra and Kandi were able to end their beef, which stemmed from Phaedra Parks and Kenya Moore going at it and Kandi sitting idly doing nothing. The two came to an understanding outside of the group session, where the accusations and insults flew left and right and things just got way worse. Well played, as it turned out, by Phaedra Parks, to miss that one. While NeNe promised to keep an open mind going in, Leakes’ actions indicated quite the opposite, as she repeatedly came off defensive and thin-skinned. Every issue that came up, she had a rebuttal for that only threw gasoline on these simmering fires. Is she really a peacemaker or the main instigator? NeNe Leakes: 12 Wacky Faces We Love 1.

Moore asks why this is. NeNe says they will “never be friends.” Yeah. Not exactly extending an olive branch right there, NeNe. When Claudia Jordan and NeNe Leakes rehashed their first meeting, which ended in a pretty epic fight, the latter told her to “get that s–t together.” Kandi notes that NeNe makes her “original” housewife status known, like she’s marking her territory or staking a claim to something that doesn’t matter. Cynthia Bailey reflected on her ongoing feud with NeNe, and noted that “once the rift started, NeNe went above and beyond to destroy the friendship.” NeNe responded by hammering back, “You’re are not a victim!” Leakes storms out of the session in frustration and rage. “This must be Attack NeNe Day,” she says. “Those people are very wrong.” Are they, though?

Poor Apollo …sike! Phaedra Parks Says She’s Divorcing Apollo Nida Even though he was seen on the last episode of “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” trying his damnedest to kiss on and cuddled up to his wife Phaedra Parks, Apollo Nida will be a single man when he’s released from jail. US Magazine reports: Phaedra Parks is moving on. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star confirmed on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, Dec. 21, that she and her estranged, incarcerated husband Apollo Nida are ending their marriage. Parks caught up with host Andy Cohen on WWHL following Sunday’s tense new episode of RHOA. In the latest installment of the Bravo reality show, Nida is shown canoodling his not-too-receptive wife and attempting to get back into her good graces after being convicted of fraud. The Atlanta-based attorney told Cohen that Nida’s efforts were in vain. He is currently serving an eight-year sentence at prison in Kentucky, and by the time he is released, he will likely be divorced. “Well, we’re amicably resolving this marriage,” she said as she nodded and pulled a knowing face. “We’re resolving this marriage… resolving to dissolve, yes.” Phaedra also denied reports that she’s keeping her two young sons away from their father. As Parks and Nida move toward parting ways, the outspoken star and her two young sons have been in contact with the jailed Nida. Before reporting to prison, he became a father for the second time when Parks gave birth to son Dylan, 19 months. The embattled couple also has an older son Ayden, 4. “I talk to him at least, if not five, six times a week, if not more,” Parks said of Nida, adding that the kids are “definitely in contact” with their father. So long shady sucka! Can you really blame ATTORNEY Phaedra Parks for wanting to distance herself from her shady stealing felon bae??? Continue reading →
