Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks’ ex-husband Apollo Nida will remain on criminal probation for a couple more years despite his pleas for early termination.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, on January 10, a federal judge in Georgia the request brought by the former Bravo star.
In court, Nida claimed he was trying to start a new life, but his probation officers were making things hard. Parks’ ex was sentenced to 8 years in federal prison back in 2014 for his role in a massive fraud scheme.
Prosecutors accused him of laundering more than $2 million through a bunch of phony bank accounts. Nida ended up snitching on his associates and reached a plea deal to avoid 30 years behind bars.
Parks had no role in the criminal enterprise. Nida filed for divorce from the RHOA star after 5 years of marriage while in prison

In October 2020, Nida moved from Philly to Atlanta to be closer to his two sons with Parks. His lawyer told the court his client’s probation officer failed to contact for several months. Nida said he was forced to reach out to make
As part of his plea, the reality star also revealed he was arrested on May 30, 2021 during a trip to Miami. He claims to have told his P.O. about the travel but she later denied knowing about it. Nida says the situation caused him problems and led to him having a GPS monitor placed on him along with a stricter curfew.
