In the newly released trailer for the aftershow, the reaction of each cast member to Phaedra's entry is shown. Porsha Williams was seen expressing excitement for her friend's arrival. In a confessional clip, she shared that the previous season was explosive and dramatic as tensions increased between Phaedra and her fellow castmates. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star continued by expressing her happiness, she said:

Parks will share an update with the show fans now that she has returned. Viewers can expect to see more of what Phaedra is up to as she shares her opinion on the arguments and clashes between the fellow castmates. The post continued:
