"Real Housewives" not as real as it seems

Phaedra Parks, a character on reality show "Real Housewives of Atlanta," has recently admitted that reality TV is not all what it seems.  She said to Atlanta radio host "At the end of the day, when people watch the show, they realize it's for entertainment."  Parks doesn't seem to mind admitting that these types of shows are exaggerations of the truth.  Although many might already assume reality shows are somewhat of an illusion, when an actor on the show admits it, it really puts a wound in the shows credibility.  Producers  of shows like Jersey Shore, Survivor and Keeping up with the Kardashians would never want their own stars leaking this kind of information to the public.  Time will tell if Parks remains on the show after an incident like this.
