It’s official. Phaedra Parks is once again a peach holder.
Bravo and Parks announced Monday, July 29, on Instagram that she’s set to return to the reality series for season 16.
The post included pictures of Parks exiting a private jet, dressed to the nines, while surrounded by designer luggage and holding a peach.
“You called. I answered,” the caption read.

The attorney and self-proclaimed “southern belle” was previously a cast member on RHOA from 2010 until 2017.
In 2023, she joined Bravo’s Married to Medicine as a “holistic healer” — and launched a new wellness center focusing on reiki therapy (energy healing).
Earlier this year, Parks appeared on season 2 of Peacock’s castle-based competition show, The Traitors USA, and was a frequent trending topic on social media for her biting comments.
But RHOA producers came calling — amid declining ratings and demands by fans for a cast shakeup.
After season 15, producers parted ways with peach holders Shereé Whitfield, Marlo Hampton, and Sanya Richards-Ross.
Meanwhile Kandi Burruss announced she was leaving to work on acting, producing and music projects.
Drew Sidora and Kenya Moore were set to return. Then as filming got underway on season 16, Moore was accused of bullying — after allegedly displaying posters with explicit images of new housewife Brittany Eady at the opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa in Atlanta.
A short time later, reports surfaced that Moore had been fired from the show and was weighing legal options.
Now, amid all the drama — and it’s a lot — Phaedra Parks is back!
