Phaedra Parks Confirms Divorce From Apollo Nida

Remember when we reported Keyshia Cole’s arrest for assaulting Cash Money employee Sabrina Mercadel after she found her lounging at Birdman’s penthouse during a party? Sabrina remembers it quite vividly and has filed a restraining order against Keyshia for her protection. According to TMZ, Sabrina filed court documents that accuse the “Point of No Return” singer of punching her in the face, throwing objects at her and even slashing her with her nails.

The fight allegedly started when Keyshia went to rumored boo Birdman’s L.A. home at around 5 a.m. as a surprise and found Sabrina there already. Witnesses say Keyshia attacked her, leaving scratches on her face. She was arrested and sent to jail that night for battery and her reckless driving warrant. But, she was released on a $46,000 bail shortly after.

Sabrina also says in her documents that, although the Cash Money CEO and her work together, she was just “visiting a friend.” Sources have said that Sabrina and Birdman have been friends since they were young and has worked in the Cash Money camp for a decade.

But, Sabrina’s restraining order isn’t the only thing that may concern Keyshia. The singer, who has been more than open in her music about her heartbreak, expressed sympathy for Daniel Gibson after the two called it quits. Keyshia’s ex-hubby said to Necole Bitchie that he’s depressed after losing his wife and son. “As far as his depression is concerned, I think as a friend, he has to understand, as well, that things that bring you to that point of being depressed or losing something that matters to you more than anything,” she said on 106 & Park, “you can’t repeat the same thing that got you there in the first place.”

Phaedra Parks Confirms Divorce Rumors On ‘Ellen’

It looks like our favorite “Real Housewives of ATL” southern belle is ready to talk about her marriage. Phaedra Parks appeared on ‘Ellen’ to open up about her relationship with estranged husband Apollo Nida. Apollo, who pled guilt in May to fraud and was sentenced to 8 years in prison, has spoken about his case and his marriage, but Phaedra has remained relatively quiet..until now.

After confirming that she will file for divorce, Phaedra said she was clueless about Apollo’s illegal activities during their union. “I mean, I work. I just got my fifth college degree,” Phaedra said to Ellen. “And so I’m pretty much an overachiever. I have two very small children. I just stopped breast-feeding three months ago. So, I didn’t have any idea this was going on until he called me and he said, ‘Hey, I’ve been arrested and I’m having this problem, but it’s not true.’ So I went out of my way to get him the best attorneys, the best investigators, and to do anything I could, because I’m an attorney myself and so I wanted him to have the best. So we could fight this together, but obviously it did not turn out like that.”

Apollo has also been more than honest about his marital woes, even claiming in a radio interview that he wasn’t sure if he could depend on Phaedra anymore. But, Phaedra seemed to understand. “I think sometimes when people are hurting they do things to hurt other people,” she said. “There’s been a lot of lashing out from Apollo because I think he’s in a place, a very angry place, and I think you hurt the people closest to you sometimes. It’s unfortunate.”
