“I was with the family of Michael Brown in Ferguson…”—Phaedra Parks

Kenya Moore And Phaedra Parks Disagree Over Glen Rice Jr.’s Behavior On RHOA

Kenya Moore is continuing to defend herself in the wake of Glen Rice Jr.’s violent behavior on Real Housewives Of Atlanta.

As previously reported Tammy McCall Browning brought her nephew Glen Rice Jr., a former a NBA player, to the ladies’ Miami vacation home before he was asked to leave for acting erratically towards Kenya and Kandi.

He then cursed out Kenya Moore and pushed his aunt Tammy to the ground, knocking her out cold.

Kenya is now once again defending herself after being (unfairly) blamed for Glen’s behavior and is blasting Phaedra Parks for trying to spin the situation into a #BlackLivesMatter moment.

Via BravoTV:

WHY I WANTED GLEN TO LEAVE

Glen made me and Kandi uncomfortable on several occasions. He came in with a chip on his shoulder, calling us “b**** and hos.” This was difficult to witness. I clearly saw a pattern of disrespectful behavior. We were all drinking and having fun on the boat, but his first response to me snapping my fingers at him was aggressive and uncalled for. I laughed it off, but I noted it. He was then aggressive with Kandi, who is obviously pregnant. He threatened to show out “any b**** or hos try him or disrespect him,” and when politely asked to leave by Tammy, he charged at me calling me a “little b***” and pushed his own Aunt down to the ground.

PHAEDRA VS. MIKE BROWN AND FERGUSON

I’m astounded by Phaedra’s blatant attempt manipulate the fans and incite anger against me. She stated that my reaction to Glen was the same as that of a “white women in suburbia” to an innocent Black boy walking down the street.

This had nothing to do with a “white women in suburbia” as Phaedra stated. Some men, like Glen, behave in a way that is unacceptable in society. We can feel a need to protect our men from unwarranted police brutality as in the Black Lives Matter campaign, but this is clearly not the same.

She also called out Kim Fields for also accusing her of provoking Glen by “hitting a hornet’s nest”…

Further, if a man is acting in a threatening and aggressive manner thereby making women feel uncomfortable, we cannot ask them to leave? According to Kim Fields if we do, we are “hitting a hornet’s nest” and “provoking” a man. Shame on them! I do not have to accept a man’s abuse — physical or verbal, black or white. Glen was abusive, period. I deserve to feel safe in my environment. I deserve protection. I deserve respect. This incident is not about a racial divide. I am a woman first.

These women are so resentful of my presence that they will always choose the side that is against me. Would any of these hypocritical mothers allow their sons to talk to women that way? Would that be acceptable to them for their sons to act the way Glen did? We saw Phaedra threaten to call the police on Apollo, but according to them I was wrong to ask Glen to leave.

and added that Phaedra in particular has been especially disrespectful to her this season.

Regarding Phaedra, she has made it her mission on every episode thus far to call me a villain; making fun of my former skin condition, my dark brown skin tone, and now my preemptive actions made to protect not only her, but all of the women present. It’s evident that Kim Fields, Phaedra, Sheree, and Porsha were all wrong about Glen. Yet, they were all ready to nail me to a stake until Kandi stated she agreed with me. Funny how that works isn’t it?

What do YOU think??? Did Kenya provoke Glen???

Hit the flip to see Phaedra’s take on the drama.

According to Phaedra, she was upset about the situation because she’s a mother to black boys. Furthermore she saw how Glen Rice Jr. was “provoked into a confrontational situation” by Kenya and added that Kenya’s “fears and poor communication skills” are to blame.

She then noted that she has ties to the family of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin making this situation particularly close to her heart.

Via BravoTV:

PP: The plight of African-American boys is close to my heart. Being the mother of two black sons requires me to be more aware of society’s perceptions, because I have to teach them how to appropriately conduct themselves in situations like this.

While Glen’s behavior and actions were clearly unacceptable, seeing him provoked into a confrontational situation is a prime example of how a manageable incident can quickly escalate into a dangerous situation.

A misperception or miscommunication can very well be the difference between life and death, as we have seen time and time again throughout history. Kenya’s fears and poor communication skills turned what should have simply been an uncomfortable situation into an act of violence.

I got emotional because all too often young black boys are in similar situations that unexpectedly and unnecessarily turn violent and result in them either being seriously hurt or killed. I was with the family of Michael Brown in Ferguson and have seen this tragedy firsthand. I am friends with Trayvon Martin’s mother, and I know she never expected to be the face of a movement, but fortunately she turned her sorrow into strength and has led the cause to bring awareness to senseless violence against black boys.

I do not condone violence against women — I am a woman, daughter, sister, and mother — but I equally do not condone labeling or stereotyping.

Comparing this to #BlackLivesMatter might be a bit of reach Phaedra. Glen was clearly out of line and needed to leave.
