RHOA’s Phaedra Parks Adds to Her Impressive Resume with Two Career Updates
Phaedra Parks must be one of the busiest stars on Bravo. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s resume is incredibly interesting. She has worked as an attorney, mortician, author, and Reiki healer. Plus, she has two sons to keep an eye on. I’m tired from just typing that.
Phaedra once again picked up her peach for Season 16 of RHOA, hoping to bring a fun vibe back to the franchise. While she came in at the end of the season, Phaedra didn’t waste a second. She pumped up the drama by feuding with Angela Oakley. And this Atlanta peach’s confessional remarks were hilarious.
Phaedra Parks isn’t done pursuing new roles
Meanwhile, before Phaedra returned to RHOA, she was a huge part of Season 2 of The Traitors. Of course, Phaedra was unmasked as one of the diabolical Traitors. Eventually, she was banished from the castle by her co-stars. Now Phaedra has added some new gigs to her overstuffed resume.
In an Instagram post, Phaedra announced that she will be the 2026 Grand Marshal for Krewe of Athena. “I am so excited to not only be a part of your all-female crew, but to celebrate with you this Mardi Gras season,” Phaedra said in her video, teasing the event. “And to be a part of a club that celebrates community service, sisterhood, fellowship, and fun.”
Then, Phaedra dropped another announcement via Instagram. “Thank you to the Emmys’ Televerse for inviting me to be a part of The Traitors panel. What an honor to share the stage with such gifted actors and trailblazing leaders,” Phaedra captioned the carousel of photos. Her Atlanta co-star, and “Frick” to Phaedra’s “Frack,” Porsha Williams, commented on her friend’s achievement. “Best traitor ever. Beautiful,” she wrote.
However, Phaedra has one goal that she has not accomplished – yet. “My favorite thing is politics,” the RHOA star previously stated. Will we see Phaedra in the Oval Office one day?
Peyton Manning Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Late Jim Irsay on ManningCast: ‘The Owner Every Player Would Want’
During an emotional moment on ManningCast, Peyton Manning paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Jim Irsay, the legendary owner of the Indianapolis Colts. This tribute came after Irsay was posthumously inducted into the Colts Ring of Honor during the 2025 season opener.
“We lost Jim in May, and Eli, he was the kind of owner every player would want to play for,” Peyton shared with his brother Eli Manning. “His office was at the practice facility, he was out there at practice every day, in the locker room after every game—home or away, win or loss—the answer was always ‘Yes’ if it helped the Colts win.”
Peyton continued, “It was an honor to play for him, and a great ceremony yesterday in Indianapolis, putting Jim Irsay in the rightful place in the Colts’ Ring of Honor.”
The news of Irsay’s passing in May deeply affected Manning, who posted on social media expressing his sorrow. Manning described Irsay as an “incredibly generous and passionate” owner and promised his “legacy will not be forgotten.”
“I am heartbroken to hear about Jim Irsay’s passing,” Manning wrote. “He was an incredibly generous and passionate owner, and I will always be indebted to him for giving me my start in the NFL. His love for the Colts and the city of Indianapolis was unmatched. His impact on the players who played for him will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and everyone in the Colts community. He will be missed. Jim, rest in peace my friend.”
Irsay passed away on May 21, 2025, at the age of 65, peacefully in his sleep at his Beverly Hills home. He was inducted into the Colts Ring of Honor during the 2025 season opener, facing the Miami Dolphins on September 7, a fitting tribute to his contributions to the franchise and the city of Indianapolis.
Manning’s tribute not only honors Irsay as an owner but also reflects the deep, personal bond between the two, emphasizing Irsay’s lasting legacy with the Colts and the players who had the privilege of playing under his leadership.
