She’s a celebrated entertainment attorney and self-proclaimed “Southern Belle,” but Phaedra Parks is now best known for being the newest addition to the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’
Parks has gone from negotiating legal issues for high-profile clients like Bobby Brown and Slip-N-Slide Records, to winning over viewers with hilarious clichés and upstart Southern traditions.
When asked how would you handle a client the likes of a Charlie Sheen? Phaedra responded
“Damage control! Charlie Sheen is such a marketable force. He’s gonna get out of this trouble and he will be back. He’s like the cat with nine lives. I would just be doing damage control and repackaging him. Anyone that knows me knows that I have worked with some very uncontrollable clients and been successful with them. I think controlling the client has more to do with making the client respect you as a professional and making them believe and trust in you. I think when you get anyone’s trust they will follow your direction — as long as they’re sober now. When they’re drunk, you can’t make them do anything. If you can sober them up, the sky’s the limit. Charlie Sheen is a bad boy, and unfortunately, everybody loves a bad boy. He’s obviously on something –- I don’t know what it is –- but whatever it is has caused him to have more popularity. I don’t watch that ‘Two and a Half Men‘ show, but because of all the recent publicity, if he gets a new show I think it would do double the ratings of that show because he is in the media and people love to see a train wreck.
