Apollo, the Juvial Crook

[cooksdelight]

A place to discuss Apollo and his criminal history, his sector of the time scale and will he or won't he spill the beans?

[kassa]

I'm torn.  I do think he's an idiot, and that points to him being likely to spill the beans on Phaedra if he had more awful beans to spill about her involvement in his life of crime.

 

On the other hand, he's a criminal, and he may consider her involvement his bird in the hand.  To mix metaphors, he's probably savvy enough to be blackmailing her, and part of that is not playing ALL the cards he has, but play some minor, really embarrassing ones first.  "I was lying about Kenya."  "Phaedra used to bang me on an air mattress when I had a monitor on!"  That sort of thing will leave her wondering just what he is going to say next.  And that's one thing if he's just going to embarrass her, but a whole OTHER thing if he can implicate her in aiding and abetting (or masterminding) his crimes.

 

Frankly, if she's as smart as she wants us to think she is, she should embrace Kenya as the "victim" of Apollo's lies as a strategic defense against whatever future "lies" he might offer about HER.  After all, if he could lie about Kenya and convince everybody he was telling the truth, nothing he might accuse Phaedra of can be believed, right?

 

Holding on to her grudge against Kenya, no matter how heartfelt, might not be her best move.  

[RedKoolAide]

I think the problem I'm having with Apollo humiliating Phaedra is that I don't remember her ever doing that to him on the show. Maybe I'm wrong because I don't remember every detail since they've joined the show, but he's ridiculous. He treats her like shit for an entire season and then expects her to support his thieving ass in court? Phaedra isn't without her faults but Apollo is a special kind of asshole.

Btw, this is the best thread title ever.

Apollo said he was going to be writing a book from prison, that would tell his side of the story.

I'm almost afraid to speculate on what that might be.

[kassa]

"I was fresh out of the joint, and while my wife put me up in a 10,000 square foot house, she wouldn't buy me canned meat or pay my 8K stripper tabs. She was buying me the finest clothes -- what, was I supposed to work at McDonalds?"

"I was fresh out of the joint, and while my wife put me up in a 10,000 square foot house, she wouldn't buy me canned meat or pay my 8K stripper tabs. She was buying me the finest clothes -- what, was I supposed to work at McDonalds?"

Is that the preface or the whole book?

[SpringTulips]

The whole book would be:

I had a messed up childhood.  I started doing criminal shit, got caught and went to prison.

I got out of prison, got married and had a couple of kids. 

I kept doing criminal shit, got caught again, and now I am back in prison, waiting for Kenya Moore to come see me. 

THE END.

I really hope whoever ends up writing this for him leaves in all his "special" words. Without that, I don't want to read it.

Lol! 

 

Don't forget he also mentored kids about staying out of a life of crime, all while he was all up in other people's accounts.  I think that's one of the things that pisses me off the most about his whole situation.  Selling lies to teenagers who are only looking for role models as examples to help escape the cycles they're born into.  Fucker.

[Persnickety1]

Oh, bless his heart.  His juviality continues.  What a trooper.

via Radar Online:
Apollo Nida won’t be confined by prison walls! The Real Housewives of Atlanta star is currently behind bars for the next eight years, and facing an impending divorce from Phaedra Parks, but Radar has learned he just launched a new business — from prison!

The imprisoned reality star and father of two has been posting from behind bars about a new workout plan called Nida Fitness 4%. According to the Bravo star, it is an inspirational program that attempts to motivate people to work out.

The program points out that getting one hour of exercise a day is roughly only 4% of a person’s day, hence the tagline for the company: “It’s only 4%.”

Nida’s new website, itsonly4perecent.com, is selling waterproof USB wristbands with the tagline written on them.

 

I'm so thrilled he's putting his time "asunder" to good use.  

Edited December 6, 2014 by Persnickety1

[luckyroll3]

Yes, when you are in jail and have nothing else to do, 4% of your day is quite easy to come by.

[bosawks]

I wonder who he had do the math for him?

We know Porsha's out.....

[SpringTulips]

While I am an Apollo hater even I felt motivated with that 4 percent breakdown ( I just started working out again after a long hiatus)  He should have focused on this instead of other peoples' retirement accounts.

 

But how in the hell are prisoners allowed to launch businesses and websites?

Cosign.  I thought the fitness video/personal trainer gig was perfect for him.  Approximately 67% (16/24) of our day is dedicated to sleeping and working which gives us 33% for cooking/eating, driving, taking care of children/parents, reading, working out, watching TV/surfing the internet.  If Apollo's calculation considered sleeping and working, an hour of exercise would be 12.5% (1/8) of our available hours.

Who knew you could run a business from prison.  I hope this means that he can make full restitution.

I know this is a random question but Apollo has to report to prison in Kentucky(?) or some other state, right?  So the practical part of me was thinking about his car, is he driving it to prison then it will sit in some really long term parking lot?  Does Phaedra get it back?  Does Apollo think his car will be waiting for him in 8 years?  And in that vein of thinking...is he really expecting Phaedra to mail him keys to a house he won't see for 8 years, (I am pretty sure you are not allowed such items in prison). She did say that she was not even sure she would still be in that house when he got out. 

Oy, the things I think of when it is slow at work.

[cooksdelight]

No, Apollo was taken in a van with police officers, secure escort, that type of thing. Anything he owns, that has his name on it, will go toward making restitution to his victims. To the tune of several million dollars.

[selhars]

I don't think anyone just drives their own car to prison.....MAYBE if you're just reporting for weekends, at some minimum security place that MIGHT have it's own parking. Sentences like a person would get of a minor infraction and they let you serve your time for X number of weekends. And even then they may not let INMATES park there. That's about the only kind of detention facility that I would imagine has "inmate parking" -- it's not the airport, after all.

 

I would imagine the person reports to a local authority with some kind of witness or escort, they take you in, process that you've at least reported there...and then law enforcement transports you.

[cooksdelight]

He's definitely in a transport vehicle, when he's "gone asunder."

Thanks for the info about Apollo and his going asunder, all my prison knowledge is from some B movies from the 40's and Orange is the New Black...which is embarrassing since my ex husband is a judge.

[Aging Goth]

Ever the loving husband, Apollo sent this love letter to Phaedra from prison

[cooksdelight]

Calling her fat, and other ugly names? I hope she divorces his ass today!!

[MulletorHater]

The whole book would be:

I got out of prison, got married and had a couple of kids. 

I kept doing criminal shit, got caught again, and now I am back in prison, waiting for Kenya Moore to come see me. 

THE END.

 

He'll also include an explanation as to why he and his mentor, Iceberg Slim, are misunderstood.  I've found it fascinating for quite some time that most of Apollo's accomplices have usually been women.

 

I think Phaedra embarrassed Apollo early on when they first started airing.  She made it clear by her words and airs that he was beneath her, that she was running the show financially, and, of course, he grew up eating potted meat.  Not to mention correcting his speech on air.  My husband and I figured way back then that Apollo was simply going to abide his time and would sooner or later show his ass when he started to feel stifled and emasculated.  It sure didn't take long.

[cooksdelight]

I'm watching a show on MSNBC called "White Collar Crime: Life On The Inside" and according to prisoners in federal prisons who have done things similar to Apollo, the whole "club fed" thing is a myth. There is no privacy, there are regular body searches, it's scary and it's anything but a country club. You're told when to get up, when to go to sleep, when to eat, when to go to the bathroom. You'll do tremendous activity to keep yourself healthy, or you'll get tremendously depressed by doing nothing all day. But, if you've got money, you can get anything. One guy talked about smuggling a prostitute into the very prison where Apollo is at. That must be why Apollo was so urgent about someone putting money on his account. And why he is constantly wanting Phaedra and the kids to come and visit. I can only imagine him asking Phaedra to put cell phones and other contraband on his kids.

They do have access to email and things like that, which is one way the boys could stay in touch with their father.

It's an eye-opening look at what it's really like in white-collar prisons, and you can probably catch it on reruns on MSNBC. It's original airdate was 4/29/15.

Is she financially stable in her own right? Because he did blame his crimes on the pressures he felt keeping up appearances of Phaedra's lavish lifestyle...especially coming straight out of jail, how would this be any different? Whether those pressures were real or not doesn't change the bottom line that this guy just doesn't seem all that smart. 

[Iguessnot]

I just read he's back in the slammer for a technical violation of his parole. The article was extremely vague. Said he might be required to finish out the remainder of the sentence.

Hopefully a full explanation comes out soon.

All I can find is that a rep from the US Marshal Service is saying it isn't really an arrest, but he was taken back into custody.  He doesn't have a new charge but the court issued an order to bring him in because he was in trouble for breaking a technical condition of his release.  He's only been out for a couple of days, so that's pretty quick to break a condition/rule already.

RHOA star Apollo Nida's fiancée Sherien Almufti defends him on Instagram... after he's sent back to prison for a parole violation

Sherien Almufti, fiancée to RHOA star Apollo Nida, came to his defense in a fiery Instagram post on Friday. She shared a sweet selfie of the two, claiming his parole violation wasn't legitimate.

I wonder if she is part of the technical violation. For all her protesting, she offered no clarity.

Who knows if this is true, but:

(Actually, I believe some of the dates are wrong in the article. Where it says "May" it should say "June," because Apollo was only out for 9 days. Sketchy, sloppy reporting. Grain of salt & all that.)

The street sign looks like it says "Salford St." Google maps shows a street by that name in west Philly. Of course Apollo is back in the clink now, reportedly at the Federal Detention Center in center city Philadelphia.

I think his real issue was that the allowance Phaedra gave him (lets face it, she had all the money in that family) did no allow him to live as large as he would like. I remember him complaining to Peter that Phaedra would not allow him to buy "the good Mercedes".

[Hiyo]

Maybe instead of blowing most of his monthly allowance on strippers, he should have saved a good portion of it each month and upgraded the Mercedes himself.
