Tearing up the house in a pre-prison tantrum was simply not enough for Apollo.
Just in time for the start of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 7, there’s word that Apollo is still acting out from behind bars now. According to HollywoodLife.com, Phaedra refuses to answer the phone when he calls, so he’s decided to go old school in his attempts to reach her.
Given the tension between Phaedra and Apollo on Sunday’s “RHOA,” it was apparent that he had more words for her. Since he couldn’t say what he wanted to say over the phone, he said it in a nasty letter.
“Phaedra said that Apollo called her a b*tch, selfish, fat, conceited, and a wife that ain’t loyal,” A source close to the couple claimed.
“He’s so childish,” the insider added. “She said, ‘He tried to get me together by telling me what he thought about me and numbering each pathetic insult.’”
