Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida faced the most difficult part of their marriage, last night on "Real Housewives of Atlanta." Apollo was sentenced to eight years in prison for bank fraud and fans watched him go through his legal battles by himself. During the trial and legal proceedings, which lasted most of the summer, Nida's estranged wife was nowhere to be found. She kept all comments to herself until her interview with America's favorite funny-woman, Ellen Degeneres, in the middle of October.

Now, thanks to Bravo's cameras, fans finally saw a glimpse of what happened and why she was not there to support her husband during his sentencing. On Twitter, fans seem to be divided over which person was right in the situation.

According to Parks, she did not want the media to snap pictures of her children and decided to leave she and Nida's home to stay in a hotel. Without a phone call, text or any type of family support (besides his brother), Apollo faced his sentencing alone. When she returned home, a very hurt Apollo was waiting for her with Bravo cameras rolling.

While others berated Apollo for his selfish decisions...

Obviously, this is not an easy time for their family or their two kids, Ayden and Mr. President (Dylan). Hopefully, once Apollo returns, the two can work out a way to parent them as they will greatly be affected by not having their father around.
