Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks and Cynthia Bailey Dish On RHOA Drama



iVillage.com:
Baby drama. Fiance drama. Kim and NeNe drama. Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta (which airs part one of its reunion show on Sunday, Feb. 13) has had no shortage of fireworks during its third season. And Housewives Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey sat down with iVillage recently to dish on the headline-grabbing happenings.


One of the biggest controversies this season? How far along Parks’ pregnancy was -- which led her castmates to question whether she was telling the truth about her due date. "I found that the drama surrounding my pregnancy and due date was very 1950s, very Peyton Place," the 38-year-old lawyer, who’s now mom to 8-month-old son Ayden with husband Apollo Nida, tells iVillage. "I had a very high-risk pregnancy and I was on bed rest and I was very sick. The people I chose to tell were people who would be very supportive. And as you can see from the show, sometimes there can be more negative than positive energy."


The would-they-or-wouldn’t-they-get-hitched question lingered throughout the season for 43-year-old model Bailey and fiancĂ© Peter Thomas, whose money problems and relationship issues made their road to matrimony anything but blissful. "All kinds of craziness started happening during the whole preparations for the wedding," Bailey tells iVillage. "It was just a lot of drama. It didn’t look like (the wedding) was going to happen many, many times. Very bumpy road."


Equally bumpy was the dissolution of now-pregnant Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes’ friendship, which seemed to have been patched up this season after Kim alleged NeNe tried to choke her during an off-camera altercation in season 2. But that peace treaty quickly crumbled when NeNe joined Kandi and Kim for their promotional concert road trip from hell. "Being on tour on a bus together for like a week to two weeks and then you add NeNe to the mix -- ooh, it’s interesting," Burruss, 34, says with a laugh.
