Apollo Nida Speaks Out from Prison, Says He'll Fight Phaedra Parks for Money
Apollo Nida has given his first interview from behind bars, where he is currently serving an 8-year sentence at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky for bank fraud and identity theft. The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" husband is not happy when he caught wind of his wife Phaedra Park's plan to divorce him while he's incarcerated.
In an interview with In Touch, Apollo said that he will not lose money from the divorce and will fight Phaedra for it.
"I will not walk away empty handed, considering all that I've put into the marriage over the five years," said Apollo. "That is completely fair, I think. It wouldn't be right for her to just take everything and leave me with nothing to come home to."
Apollo also said that Phaedra is not allowing their children, 4-year old Ayden and 19-month old Dylan, to visit him in prison.
"I can't see why she would continue to hurt me by not allowing me to see my boys," he complains. "This isn't right. If I don't see my children for eight years, that would be some [expletive], and I would fight for that right! Who in their right mind would allow children to be away from their father for eight years, regardless of where the father is at in the world?"
Meanwhile, a source told Reality Tea that Phaedra is considering allowing her mother to bring Ayden to visit his father in prison.
Though Phaedra has not gone through with filing a divorce yet, her rep said in past interviews that she will definitely be doing so. Apollo has reportedly threatened to a tell-all book about Phaedra and their marriage if she does file for divorce.
