Phaedra Parks, the well-mannered Southern belle of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” who defends criminals for a living, is being accused of actually being one herself.

In a video posted on Vibe.com, Stanton former friend said Phaedra created fake registration cards to match the stolen vehicles. Stanton then presented the VIN numbers and the fake registration cards to other dealerships to have new keys cut.

The vehicles were later stolen by simply driving the vehicles off the car lot using the new keys. Phaedra’s accuser, Angela Stanton, told VIBE that she, along with Phaedra, her husband Apollo Nida, and another man, were involved in a car theft ring. Stanton claimed Phaedra was the ringleader, who sent Stanton and Apollo into car dealerships to copy down VIN numbers of expensive luxury vehicles.

Phaedra tweeted in her defense yesterday, “The interview circulating is a lie. My attorneys B.J. Bernstein and Lin Wood will deal with this false and defamatory interview swiftly.”

According to my source, Phaedra has retained the services of B.J. Bernstein and Lin Wood, two of the top defense attorneys in Atlanta.

Our question to Phaedra if you do not have anything to hide why equip yourself with high powered defense attorneys? To the conscious mind the allegation seems to have some sort of merit to it, for an attorney to hire defense attorney to help her out. If you have not seen the video here is it.
