Looks like Phaedra Parks has been in the news ever since she wrapped up her time on ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’. As per sources, Phaedra Parks raised concerns to the local police, after receiving life threats from one of her past clients. Terrence Cook, a onetime rapper by profession, seemed to have made claims that he sent his a bomb via special delivery to Parks’ office at Leonx Plaza.
