The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 ended with a bang as Angela Oakley accused Phaedra Parks of spreading rumors that Charles was unfaithful. However, the fallout is ongoing as Marcus, the man who appeared in the last two episodes of the show, is now accusing Angela of blackmailing him into placing blame on Phaedra.
Fans will recall that Marcus made an appearance at Kelli Ferrell‘s event in the next-to-last episode of RHOA season 16. It was there that he made the allegation that Charles had recently cheated on Angela. Angela then had Marcus show up to her event in the finale, where he said Phaedra instructed him to make the allegation.
Recently, Hollywood Unlocked posted to Instagram and said, “Whew! After #PhaedraParks was accused of setting up the #CharlesOakley and #AngelaOakley cheating scandal, a man named Marcus and his friend Alex allege Angela is the real person to blame!”
Included with the caption were a series of screenshots and clips from RHOA, showing Angela confronting Phaedra over allegedly sending Marcus to carry the proverbial bone. The footage also includes Angela on Carlos King’s podcast, revealing that it was Phaedra who had orchestrated the entire setup to accuse Charles of cheating.
Regarding the screenshots, Marcus can be seen replying to a comment. He says, “So let’s be honest – you blackmailed me to lie on Phaedra. Say I’m lying, and I will release the entire call.” He also said, “And that finale clip? You were “protecting” me – exactly like you said you would on the call. YOU invited me to the gala event AFTER Kelli’s event. And you know why… You don’t protect a stranger unless you have something to gain from them.”

From there, he claimed, “Angela, you don’t know me from a can of paint? You orchestrated the Phaedra lie and sent that goon to my restaurant to threaten and bully us into saying Charles was there with his daughters.”
Notably, the post also includes Marcus allegedly on the phone with Angela discussing him being “protected.” Additionally, there are screenshots of alleged text messages between Marcus and Drew Sidora that show her inviting him to the event as well as making sure he arrived. Per the text messages, he got there via Uber and was supposed to meet her at the bar where she would get him his drink of choice.

Marcus’ friend, Alex, also went with him to the event and can be seen in the episode and in the screenshots shared. Alex also shared text messages. He captioned his post, “Peep the dates! Last year, after we had filmed, we sat down with Angela! Me and Marcus text convo! He admits here Phaedra didn’t send us.”

According to Alex’s text messages, “Marcus, why did you switch up! You know her husband was in the restaurant!” Marcus replied, “She definitely wanted it to be Phaedra, so I didn’t know what else to say.” Alex then says he is sure Angela “knows about Charles” and then mentions him being banned from Madison Square Garden.

Finally, there are screenshots of Alex talking to someone on social media named Cindy Cee. Essentially, this person is saying that Marcus is wrong either way, and Alex then doubles down, saying, “Angela KNOWS it wasn’t Phaedra.”
Following some of Marcus’s claims, Angela threatened to sue him as she wrote on X, “Marcus see you in court my love.”
Part one of the RHOA season 16 reunion airs on July 13th!

The auditorium glitched into silence the moment Joel Osteen leaned toward the mic and delivered a line no pastor is supposed to say in public.

And in that weird, suspended moment, the crowd realized something had just detonated off-script.
The crowd expected an inspiring evening of testimony, music, and conversation. What they got instead was one of the most explosive on-stage confrontations ever witnessed inside a church auditorium. It happened fast—36 seconds, to be exact.But those 36 seconds would…
The room stalled mid-breath the moment Mike Johnson snapped open a black folder that wasn’t on any official docket. Cameras zoomed. Staffers froze. The label on the cover — CLINTON: THE SERVER SAGA — hit like a siren. Johnson leaned toward the mic, voice sharpened enough to scratch glass, and read a line that made every timeline jolt: “Her email is criminal.”
Here’s the thing about made-for-TV government: it knows exactly when to hold a beat. Tuesday’s oversight hearing had the rhythm down cold—routine questioning, polite skirmishes, staffers passing notes like we’re all pretending this is not a stage. And then Mike…
🔥 “THE FLOOR SHOOK BEFORE ANYONE COULD SPEAK.” — Investigator Dane Bonaro didn’t walk into the chamber — he tore through it, slamming a blood-red binder onto the desk with a force that made the microphones hiss. The label on the cover froze the room mid-breath: “1.4 MILLION SHADOW BALLOTS.” He locked eyes with the council and snarled, “You want the truth? Start with this.” For one suspended second, every camera operator lifted their lens like they’d just smelled a political explosion.
Here’s a scene you’ve watched a hundred times if you’ve spent enough hours in hearing rooms and greenrooms: a witness with a flair for performance, a committee hungry for a moment, and a gallery of reporters quietly betting which line…
🔥 “THE SMILE FLICKERED—AND THE ENTIRE STUDIO FELT IT.” — Laura Jarrett walked onto the Saturday TODAY set with the kind of calm, polished glow producers dream of. Cameras glided, lights warmed, and the energy felt like a coronation. But right as she settled between Peter Alexander and Joe Fryer, something shifted — a tiny hesitation in her smile, the kind that makes everyone watching sit up a little straighter. And then it came: a voice from outside the studio, sharp enough to snap the broadcast in half. For a full second, no one moved.
Here’s the thing about TV milestones: they’re designed for easy applause. A new co-anchor takes the desk, the chyron beams, the studio lights do their soft-shoe, and everyone is on their best behavior. It’s a ritual as old as morning-show…
🔥 “THE ROOM STOPPED LIKE SOMEONE CUT THE OXYGEN.” — What’s racing across timelines right now isn’t framed as a speech, or an interview, or even a moment. It’s being told like a rupture — the instant Erika Kirk, normally armored in composure, let a single tear fall while standing beside Elon Musk. Witnesses in these viral retellings swear the tear didn’t look emotional… it looked inevitable, like something finally broke through her defenses. And when Musk turned toward her, the entire audience leaned in as if they already knew the world was about to shift.
It was billed as a calm forum on human rights—an hour for big ideas like freedom, transparency, and the obligations that come with having a public voice. The stage was washed in soft gold, the kind of lighting that flatters…
🔥 “THE ROOM WENT DEAD IN UNDER A SECOND.” — What unfolded inside the Senate chamber didn’t look like a hearing anymore — it looked like a trap snapping shut. Adam Schiff sat back with that confident half-smile, clutching a 2021 DOJ memo like it was the final move in a game he thought he’d already won. Staffers say he timed his line perfectly — “Your rhetoric ignores the facts, Senator. Time to face reality.” But instead of rattling Kennedy, something in the senator’s expression made even reporters lean forward, sensing the shift before anyone spoke again.
It didn’t look like much at first—another oversight hearing, another afternoon in a Senate chamber where the oxygen gets thinned out by procedure. Then Adam Schiff leaned into a microphone with a lawyer’s confidence, and John Neely Kennedy pulled out…
