Lets put aside the fact Kandi threatened to walk if Phaedra stayed on the show, Phaedra explains why she doesn't think its a good idea to return...
In a recent interview Phaedra told Hollywood Life
"I’ve evolved and so I love that the fans want me back, but my children are at an age — The Housewives is an awesome platform but it comes with its issues and so to be a great parent and to be a responsible parent, I think that that would not be a responsible decision."
