Angela Oakley and Phaedra Parks’ ongoing drama involving those Charles Oakley cheating allegations was addressed head-on during Part 1 of the #Rhoareunion. Not only that, but the newbie released a “Receipts” file folder to claim that the Athens-affiliated lawyer fabricated the scandal.

The episode, which aired on July 13, ended with a spicy twist, as Andy turned up the heat on Angela, asking why she was so clear that Phaedra was the mastermind behind sending a man named Marcus — a supposed stranger — to stir the pot at Kelli Ferrell’s cooking event with cheating allegations about Charles.
“First of all, he told me it was Phaedra,” Angela explained, pointing out that Marcus’s aunt and Phaedra’s brother were classmates in their hometown of Athens, Georgia.
Left with Angela’s confidence, Andy replied, “This man you’ve never met?”
Phaedra quickly jumped to defend herself and denied having anything to do with the drama. Still, Angela doubled down, accusing the Rhoa alum of “lying.” She proceeded to pull out a giant file folder full of receipts to prove her theory. The paperwork she obtained showed that Marcus’s Aunt Kimberly was a high school friend of Phaedra’s older brother, but Andy, Phaedra, and the rest of the group weren’t convinced.
“That’s no coincidence,” Phaedra said.
Andy entered the chat with a valid question.
From there, the drama only intensified. Angela shared that Marcus was initially hesitant to reveal where the cheating rumors originated. “He wouldn’t willingly give me his name,” the 44-year-old told Phaedra, 55. “He actually tried to pin it on Kelli.”
Phaedra instantly clapped back, claiming she’d “heard” that it was Angela who pressured Marcus to name her as part of the alleged setup. However, Andy chimed in with a very valid question.
“If he was trying to pin it on the other women, then what makes you think he was telling the truth about [Phaedra]?” the Bravo host asked.
Angela stood her ground, doubling down on her claim and pointing to the connection between Phaedra’s brother and Marcus’s aunt as proof.
“Really, Andy?” she said, clearly exasperated.
Trying to get to the bottom of it once and for all, Andy turned to Phaedra and asked point-blank if she had any kind of problem with Angela. But the former peach owner rejected the idea once again, insisting she held no ill will toward the Bravo newbie.
“Of course not. I just met her,” Phaedra said. “I don’t even know her.”
Still, Angela speculated that Phaedra’s real motive was trying to “protect her spot” on #Rhoa – a claim Phaedra immediately and fiercely shut down. Porsha Williams also chimed in, rolling her eyes at the idea and chiming in that Phaedra’s spot was “safe” and that she didn’t need to invent drama to stay relevant to fans.
Hopefully, we’ll get more answers in the next part of the reunion. Anticipation is only growing as The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Part 2 is set to air on July 20th at 8:00 PM ET on Bravo.
