Reality star Apollo Nida was rumored to be given an early release from prison but that has yet to be confirmed. In the meantime his wife Phaedra Parks who has yet to file for divorce might be going forward with the process following the latest news.
As reported by Radaronline, exotic dancer turned author Cashaun Sidney released a book called Sordid Panties: Celebrities, Thots, Money & Scandal.
where she exposed the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star's infidelity after meeting him at a night club in Atlanta.
In the book she writes:
“He drove up with his brother, Michael, and they escorted us and two other young ladies into the club,” she claims in the book. “We entered the bar and had a few drinks and Apollo asked us if we wanted to go to Lenox Mall, a popular mall in Atlanta that held some of the most high-end stores in the city. Of course we were game.”
“We went to the mall and later as we were sitting in Bloomingdales, Apollo asked us if we wanted to accompany him to a night club where he would be heading later to meet up with a few other celebrity friends of his. We obliged.”
“We went back to his home to get dressed …” she writes. “It was evident that his wife was not in town.”
Parks, now 44, was nowhere to be seen, but signs of her were everywhere, according to Sidney: family pictures and merchandise related to her Phine Body fitness program.
“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.”
An obliging host, “Apollo poured shots of tequila for us and we proceeded to the back of the house where we sat by the pool and smoked the pot.”
“After smoking pot, we went back into the house to prepare for our night out,” she says. “We walked up stairs and he escorted us into the baby’s room. Yes the baby’s room of all the rooms. He asked my friend if she wanted to take a shower in the baby’s bathroom and she said yes….” (Nida is dad to sons Ayden, 4, and Dylan, 2.)
Sidney left the room but Nida and the pal stayed there for a while, she claims. “Were they both in the baby’s room taking a shower?” She admits, “I don’t know.”
Sidney also goes as far as calling Apollo a thot in the book.
In December 2014 Phaedra claim she was divorcing Nida. Now a year later they are still married. Is this enough to make her file for divorce?

It was in 2009 when Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida tied the knot. Has there marriage now come to an end?
Previously, it was reported that Apollo was sentenced to 8 years for identity theft and fraud. He was also ordered to pay $14 million in restitution but his lawyers got it lowered down to $1.9 million which Nida agreed to pay by the grace of God. As a result to his crime and sentencing his wife, Phaedra is allegedly considering filing for divorce.
It the reality tv couple are getting a divorce that would explain why the tension between the two is so deeply exposed on the show "Real Housewives of Atlanta".
Nida recently did an interview with comedian Rodney Perry of BE100 where he blasted his wife. When asked about his sentencing he accused his wife of not turning up for his sentencing. Really, Apollo!
It was just in 2009 when Apollo was released from prison for similar charges! They got married the same year and now share two children together. What does Apollo expect Phaedra to do? Is she suppose to wait on him? It seems like he's blaming her for his crime when really all he can blame is himself!
He was also asked if he thought his marriage would work while he's incarcerated and he said he doubted it. The 35-year-old also talked about how he is disappointed in himself for letting his sons down. He said it doesn't make you less of a man to cry or shed tears as he reflected on how he was raised as a child and how it upsetted him. Apollo also felt regrets feeling that he could pass down to his sons what was done to him.
"I'm really upset about how I was raised and I could possibly take my sons through the same thing," Apollo said.
But by the grace of God he's still young and we have many years ahead of us. I just can't make those same mistakes," Apollo added.
During the interview Apollo described his family life as hell on wheels but he said he asked God for forgiveness.
"I've forgiven myself. I had to move on like a lot of people I know who didn't," Apollo said.
Apollo should be saying thank you to his wife for keeping his illegal actions a secret. Without her he probably would have been back in prison long time ago. So this is what he's been doing all of this time. This why noone knew what he profession was on the show!
Sorry Apollo you are no different than anyone else. If you do the crime you have to do the crime. He says he's made because his wife didn' t turn up after sentencing. Turn up for what!
