In another juicy trailer for Sunday’s season 7 premiere of “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Apollo Nida downplays his charges – and soon-to-be-ex-wife Phaedra Parks speak on her decision not to attend Nida’s upcoming sentencing.

Nida says:

“I’m not a murder. I’m not a child molester. I wasn’t the guy on the corner selling cocaine. I understand what I’ve done is illegal. It’s wrong, but it’s fixable.

The charges that I plead to were wire fraud, bank fraud and mail fraud. I basically controlled shell corporations and I got caught because a co-conspirator got in a bind and decided to bring me in.

My wife and children, they left…and the woman who was supposed to love and cherish me is nowhere to be found.”

Meanwhile, Parks defends her decision not to attend the sentencing.

“As a mother, the biggest concern for me is to protect my children during this whole tumultuous time. Whether I go to court or not, it’s not going to change anything. Apollo’s actions constitute the ultimate betrayal because I trusted him and I thought he was a changed man.

I’m not going to subject my kids to any of this press stuff and I don’t want them to have any idea about the disaster that’s going on. I gotta be a parent first.”
