**Headline: Phaedra Parks Declares She’s Bringing the “Fun” Back to “Real Housewives of Atlanta”**

Atlanta, GA – Season 16 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is generating buzz, and returning cast member Phaedra Parks is taking credit for injecting much-needed energy back into the show. In a recent interview, Parks declared she’s committed to staying on RHOA for the “long haul” and bringing back elements she believes were missing.

“I’m introducing what I think the series lost: fun, fabulousness, and just authentically enjoying yourself in life,” Parks told OK!. “I have several jobs, and I continue to expand my little empire. So, my fortress is growing.”

The return of Parks, alongside Porsha Williams and Cynthia Bailey in friend roles, has been cited as a key factor in the season’s improved reception. Shamea Morton also claimed her peach for season 16. Parks’ dynamic with Williams, whom she calls “frick and frack,” has been a particular highlight for viewers.

“Frick and frack is back. It’s Phaedra 2.0,” she explained. “I’m not with a crazy husband, and I got a new, young, and sparky boyfriend who’s just cute.”

Viewers will also see a new side of Parks as she navigates life with her growing sons. She teased that her youngest son, Dylan, will launch his own clothing line on the show, showcasing her children’s entrepreneurial spirit. “They’re little entrepreneurs,” Phaedra stated. “So, this season, you’ll not only see me continuing to work my many jobs, but you’ll see my youngest son launch his clothing line.”

However, not everyone is singing Parks’ praises. Fellow Housewife Kenya Moore allegedly threw shade at Parks amidst reports of lower ratings for a recent episode. Moore has since left filming after allegedly being suspended for showing pictures of Brit Eady.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
