'Real Housewives Of Atlanta': Phaedra Parks Says She Finally Has Peace

On "The Real Housewives Of Atlanta," a counseling session with the "Housewives" loses NeNe Leakes when she storms out amid a flurry of accusations, and Phaedra Parks talks divorce.

It appears NeNe Leakes' idea to put together a group counseling session may have backfired on her, as she storms out after being "attacked" by the group.

Leakes called for the cast mates to get help from counselor Jeff Gardere Ph.D, but once the group assembled and laid their issues with Leakes on the table, the leading diva stormed out of the office, as seen in Bravo TV previews.

Gardere follows Leakes out to her car, asking her not to leave and trying to reason with her.

"You should be worried about your license," Leakes tells the psychologist.

"We can't work it out without you," Gardere tells Leakes as she peels away in her Range Rover.

The departure leaves the rest of the cast hanging in Gardere's office speculating on what went wrong.

"I don't understand why Dr. Jeff is chasing after her," says Kandi Burruss.

"Why bother putting all this together and making all the girls come if you're not going to stay?" asks Cynthia Bailey.

But Leakes sticks to her guns in saying that a "good counselor would not allow everybody to just drop their garbage in one person's lap."

While the rest of the cast is waiting for Leakes to possibly walk back in Gardere's door and sit back down, Atlanta's most well-known housewife attorney, Phaedra Parks, talks divorce.

Parks seeks the advice of a different kind of counsel, and confesses that for years she had been putting on a good front with her marriage. Parks' possibly soon-to-be ex-husband Nida is spending eight years in jail for bank, mail and wire fraud, followed by five years of supervised release.

"I wanted to be the perfect wife, but in the end he would do anything to be mean and hurtful to me," Parks tells viewers. "It was madness all the time. Every day it was madness."

Attorney Parks supported Nida throughout the run of "RHOA," even when he was spending money on strip bars and night clubs, which Parks defended.

"I said I would support him even through the criminal trouble," Parks tells viewers. "But I didn't want people to say I wasn't being supportive. It was never a peaceful night's sleep. He was always getting into fights it was non stop. So really, for the first time in years, I have peace."

Will Parks actually go ahead and file for divorce? "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" airs Sunday, 8 p.m. ET
