Apollo Nida Talks Spiritual Revelation While Waiting To Go To Jail
Nida was sentenced to eight years in prison earlier this month after he pleaded guilty to a scam that included identity theft and bank fraud and laundered more than $2 million.
Speculation that Parks would be taking a break from the world of reality television kicked off earlier this week after a famous blogger spotted Nida taping a scene without her. To make matters worse, he was actually filming a scene at BarOne in Atlanta with Parks' arch nemesis, Kenya Moore.
During the last season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Nida accused Moore of coming on to him when the two happened to be in Los Angeles at the same time. While Moore maintained that she absolutely did not proposition the fitness guru, it was a key part of her and Parks' storyline on the popular Bravo series. It turns out, the scene that Moore and Nida were taping including an apology and confession from Nida.
He allegedly told More that he lied to his wife about her wanting to be intimate with him, because Parks found out about a text conversation they had.
See how it all plays out when the seventh season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres in November.
In the meantime, Nida is waiting for the date and time he is report to prison to begin his sentence.
