Angela Oakley Accused of Framing Phaedra Parks in RHOA Finale; Angela Denies Claims

Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta concluded with a shocking accusation from Angela Oakley. After scouring the streets for information, she claimed that Phaedra Parks invited a random guy named Marcus to a cast event to make accusations about Charles Oakley.

With the help of Drew Sidora, Angela wrangled Marcus and brought him back in front of the group. He called Phaedra the “Godfather of Atlanta” and claimed that a man named Junebug served as the middleman for Phaedra’s scheme.

It all sounded far-fetched, but also, we’ve seen worse on this show. Now, new accusations have come to the surface suggesting that Angela orchestrated the whole thing. What’s the truth?

Was Phaedra framed during the RHOA Season 16 finale?

Of course, Phaedra has a questionable relationship with the truth, after having been run off of two Bravo shows. However, there’s a conspiracy theory being spun on social media by Marcus and his co-worker, Alex. Both of them were a part of spreading the rumors about Charles.

In a series of TikToks, which we’ve watched in full so you don’t have to, Alex claimed that he saw Charles in the restaurant where he and Marcus work. Allegedly, Charles sat down with a younger woman, giving “date night vibes.”

Fast forward to Marcus inserting himself into the on-screen drama on RHOA, telling Angela what he heard from Alex. After that happened, Marcus, who is the manager of the restaurant, invited his employee to sit down with Drew and Angela. We saw a brief flashback to that during the RHOA Season 16 finale. Supposedly, the intention behind the meeting was for Alex to share his firsthand account of Charles on the date.

According to Alex, Angela flipped out and tried to come up with a plan to obscure any guilt on Charles’ part. After all, he had already been dodging rumors of infidelity all season long.

Alex went on to claim that Angela’s big plan was to frame Phaedra as the mastermind behind the cheating rumors. Is there any truth to that? We’re not sure, but after watching the entire season and this dude’s TikTok, we think there are a few holes in everyone’s story.

Meanwhile, Angela has been posting up a storm on X, formerly Twitter, refuting the narrative that she tried to frame Phaedra. It’s a mess, and we think Porsha Williams might have had the best theory about all of it. This was a scheme that Todd set up.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 reunion kicks off on Sunday, July 13, on Bravo. The show streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
