Married to Medicine star Dr. Heavenly Kimes said Phaedra Parks was intimidated to join the cast for the 10th season.
“I definitely think initially Phaedra will bring eyes to the show,” Heavenly told OK. “She’s very different from how I thought she was. To me, she was a bit intimidated. A lot of people say they don’t believe that, but it’s absolutely true.”
Phaedra, who first joined the Bravo family during Season 3 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, is known for her iconic reads and fiery feuds with her co-stars, including Kenya Moore and Kandi Burruss. On the other hand, Heavenly, an M2M mainstay since Season 2, typically brings the same energy. So, how did they get along with each other while filming?
“I think she was intimidated by me. We were looking at each other, trying to feel each other out,” she added. “She’s a very nice lady, very powerful lady. I like her because she’s a boss, a businesswoman, a great mother and all of that, but she was very careful. She felt it out. She made some definite bonds with some of the ladies — and some of them she didn’t.”
What’s going down on Season 10 of M2M?
Phaedra isn’t the only new addition to this group of doctors and doctor’s wives. Also joining the group is Lateasha Lunceford, the now wife of Quad Webb’s ex, Dr. Greg Lunceford.
Despite her relationship with Quad, Heavenly invited Lateasha (aka Sweet Tea) to the group for a specific purpose.
“I think after being on [reality TV for] nine years, we realized what makes great TV,” she said. “She’s her authentic self, she’s a real girl, she’s actually a really sweet girl, but she’s a little different from us.”
Regardless of the differences, viewers can still expect to see fireworks between many of these ladies.
“We all brought drama,” Heavenly said in another interview. “We’re a group of women who are educated, opinionated, and not afraid to speak our minds.”
