Phaedra Parks of the Real Housewives of Atlanta is not going to visit husband Apollo Nida while he’s in prison for the next eight years, according to a report.

A source, who claims to have quoted Parks, told RealityTea that she has no plans to visit him. Nida was jailed earlier this year on a multitude of fraud charges.

According to the insider, Parks--who recently said she would file for a divorce--is still “heartbroken” over his crimes.

Earlier this month, Nida slammed Parks from prison in a nasty letter.

A source close to Parks said, “Phaedra said that Apollo called her a [expletive], selfish, fat, conceited, and a wife that ain’t loyal. He even told her that if it wasn’t for their kids, he wouldn’t care if he saw her fat ass ever again. He said it to her in a letter just like that,” BET reported.

The source added: “She said, ‘He tried to get me together by telling me what he thought about me and numbering each pathetic insult.’”

Meanwhile, Nida has reportedly launched a business--a workout regimen--while he’s behind bars.

The business is called Nida Fitness 4%, and it helps promote at least one hour of exercise per day.

Parks, who is a lawyer, said earlier this year that she had no idea that Nida was doing anything illegal before he was arrested.

“I didn’t have any idea this was going on until he called me and said, ‘Hey, I’ve been arrested,’” Parks said, adding that she’s trying to keep their marriage drama private. “That’s the best thing we ever did together — we have great kids. I never want to do anything to diminish his character in public,” she said, while admitting, “We’ve had some times when he’s done things that weren’t so cool, weren’t so nice.”
