"Seems to just be there" — Married to Medicine fans question Phaedra’s role this season

The latest episode of Married to Medicine, titled "Rodeo Reckoning," aired on January 5, 2024, and continued to showcase the group dynamics as the tension between Dr. Heavenly and Dr. Contessa escalated. During their heated argument, Phaedra Parks remained uninvolved, sitting quietly and making subtle facial expressions instead.

While the rest of the group was engaged in addressing the conflict, Phaedra avoided the chaos entirely. After the fight, once everyone had left, Phaedra and Quad sat down to eat, with Phaedra stating, “I’m hungry,” opting to stay out of the drama entirely.

This detached approach to group conflicts has sparked mixed reactions from fans. Many viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to question Phaedra’s role in the show this season, suggesting she “seems to just be there” without actively contributing to the group’s dynamics or addressing conflicts.

"Phaedra seems to just be there. No rhythm or reason chile," - one fan commented

"I’m still waiting on Phaedra to “revive the show” because I keep forgetting she’s even here!!" - another user said

"This season is so trashy. And to think they're doctors. Heavenly is absolutely disgusting and ugly! Imagine her doing dental work on you. Hell naw! I hope she's off next season. Phaedra also adds no value," - an X user said

"Why is Phaedra on this show?" - one tweet read

"Phaedra seems so disconnected this season. She’s over this mess." - a netizen tweeted

Some fans of Married to Medicine reacted to Phaedra’s expressions during the group fight.

"I’m totally on Quad’s side in this moment and her feelings are valid! I love her! BUT I’m Phaedra to s**t right now! I'm tired!!!!" - one tweet read

"I’m Phaedra with Quad and her crocodile tears at this damn table like come tf on," - a fan wrote

"Phaedra is actually upsetting me during this moment Quad is having. why are you irritated that she's hurt?" - another user commented

Phaedra and Jackie plan the second annual Med Gala in Married to Medicine

Later in this episode of Married to Medicine, Phaedra’s involvement shifted focus as she met Dr. Jackie at her home to plan the second annual Med Gala. In a confessional, Phaedra shared her confidence in her ability to organize high-profile events, stating,

“Everyone knows I throw the best parties.”

Jackie revealed that she had asked Phaedra to co-chair the gala two months earlier, a role Phaedra accepted happily.

“She knows I have a network that is unmatched,” Phaedra remarked.

During their meeting, the two discussed the guest list and logistics. When Jackie asked Phaedra why she hadn’t responded to her messages, Phaedra explained she had 73 unread texts, on her WhatsApp. Jackie chimed in a confessional that she was relieved not to have been in jail needing Phaedra’s help.

The conversation then shifted to fundraising goals. Jackie expressed surprise when Phaedra confidently predicted they could raise $100,000, far exceeding Jackie’s expectation of $25,000. Phaedra assured her that she had successfully raised money for various causes in the past and promised to deliver results for the gala.

The episode concluded with Jackie placing her trust in Phaedra’s capabilities, setting high expectations for the upcoming event while fans continue to debate her overall involvement in this season of Married to Medicine.
