What’s Wrong With This Picture?

EXCLUSIVE: 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Phaedra Parks shows off her secret to shedding her baby weight by becoming an ambassador for Xenadrine

An executive with Iovate, makers of Xenadrine® weight loss formula, has repeatedly emailed me with demands to remove this photo (and others like it) of local attorney and reality TV star Phaedra Parks wearing UGG boots while carrying Whole Foods shopping bags.

Since these photos were purchased legally through my licensing deal with Splash News, I see no reason to remove them from my blog.

I can only guess that Phaedra is perturbed by the comments left in the post by my readers. The blog owner (that would be me) can not be held responsible for my readers' comments, opinions or judgments of Mrs. Parks.

I am tired of being harassed in this manner. So I have taken the liberty of forwarding the latest correspondence from Iovate to my attorney.

Hopefully this matter can be resolved amicably.

    Sandra Ive taken the liberty of typing up your response:

    Dear Nymisha

    On behalf of myself and my Roses eat 100 donuts. Your client is not Beyonce if she did shed have the funds to ensure that unflattering pics did not make it to the internet. As a matter of fact no one give 2 fcuks about your client, shes only as interesting due to her ex-con-turn-con husband. Bish please look at my record (ask Soljah Boy, Rihanna, several more notable celebrities) I do not take kindly to threats.

    Oh :tea: I apologize I did not read the write up my Bad Sandra :bow:

  • GWU

    Sandra, could it be that it's a staged photo, and Whole Foods probably doesn't carry the product. Perhaps, it's Whole Foods and their expensive lawyers threatening to sue Xenadrine if the photo isn't removed.

  • http://youtu.be/Lx58GQtmE50 MisTaken is #unbothered :cool:

    Ummmm :shrugs: I can't figure out what the prollem ill? So she got on :whistles: boots with the fuuuurrrr, weight loss meds, whole foods bags.... She didn't want the whole world looking at heerrrrr? That's their bad. Should've contacted whole foods first yo. :tea: Let me go read the post. I am sure I behaved appropriately.

  • http://youtu.be/Lx58GQtmE50 MisTaken is #unbothered :cool:

    i went back and read the post :thinking: i got nothing. has to be the pick and the fact that she is promoting whole foods and diet pills at the same D time but only has one as a sponsor :yawn:

    You hit the nail on the head! My friend (who is a doctor) suggested the same thing. I did a Google search and, sure enuf, Whole Foods does not sell Xenedrine. But the mystery deepens. Why would they stage a photo with Whole Foods bags when they could've used any shopping bag? Didn't they consider the legal ramifications before they wrote the press release and sent the photos out? This sounds like a legal problem between Iovate and Whole Foods. All I know is I obtained the photos legally. :coffee:
