Reality Tea

Apollo Nida was giving yet another interview – this time to Be100 – and, as always, didn’t hold anything back.  The Real Housewives of Atlanta star drops a few shocking drops of tea.  His restitution initially started at $14 million.  He doesn’t think his marriage to Phaedra Parks will survive.  And he says there were others involved in the fraud dealings, but he took the brunt of the fall.

When asked how the sentencing has affected his family life, Apollo says “It’s hell. Hell on wheels. I’ve asked god to forgive me.  I’ve forgiven myself.  I had to move on.  From there I just had to bite down, I was going through so much.  It doesn’t make you less of a man to cry and shed tears. I’ve shed tears. I’m just upset at how I was raised and to possibly be taking my son through the same thing. But by the grace of God he’s still young and we have many years ahead of us. I just can’t make those same mistakes. It’s all on me.”  

He continues, “a lot of people could be held accountable, but at the end of the day, it’s over with now. We’ll pay back the $1.9 million and keep going.  By the grace of God I was able to get that down. It [restitution] was $14 million.”
