Honestly, although I should never pass judgement on a couple and how they are perceived, still, the more I watched Phaedra and Apollo's display on the show with Andy, I'm convinced that Apollo is simply a "kept" man. The constant kissing up he does to Phaedra seems to prove my theory. I could be wrong, but that's what I see. That story he gave about when he first saw Phaedra in a car next to him, ... running her down on a snowy highway, blah, blah, blah ... it just sounded like a story the two of them cooked up to down play the whole "lawyer marrying a convict whom she represented" story.  |
A man's facial hair can make all the difference. It's like how some very gorgeous women can look not so gorgeous depending on how they fix themselves up. His shadow beard game was horrendous and he needs to go back to the clean cut look. The way they trimmed the beard around his lips made him look like he had a funny mouth. I still find him very handsome but without the shadow beard and funny mouth facial hair look.
Why don't you think he was raised in a white household? He's biracial and I assume his mother was white. Did he not pass some white household test or something? I do think it's dumb that Phaedra has him agreeing about the kind of food he isn't accustomed to eating because he grew up in a white household. Um...perhaps he has a love for what are considered low cost foods because he was raised in a low income white household. But, Phaedra is pretending as though the majority of Black households (across social class) eat good, healthy, and relatively costly foods. Phaedra is an idiot--I like her more when she talks less.
I kind of didn't believe the story of how they met. It isn't an impossible story. It's just that they seem to have a "story" for everything. They had a "story" for how many months pregnant she is and now they have a "story" for how they met. Andy was speechless for much of the show. LOL. I also don't believe their "story" for what Apollo does for a living. His response of "wow" when someone asked him made me laugh. Perhaps he wasn't expecting the question and doesn't want to talk about his career. But, I think it's likely that he's not as gainfully employed in a higher-end job as they would like to pretend. He's probably struggling for employment as most "ex-cons" are; and any substantial employment is coming from Phaedra giving him a job. Or, she's keeping him as LikeASista thinks she is---I can see him as a stay-at-home Father and there's nothing wrong with that as long as they don't lie about it.
