Your Favorite Celebrities Who Used to be Cheerleaders

Just like her The Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star, Nene Leakes, Phaedra Parks used to cheer on her high school cheerleading squad. In fact, Leakes and Parks even went to the same high school — Clarke Central High School in Athens, Georgia. Parks did not pursue cheerleading when she enrolled into Wesleyan College, where she graduated with honors, to pursue the fight for justice. 

Parks starred on The Real Housewives of Atlanta from 2010-2017. She left to work as a lawyer and now co-owns and works at The Parks Group, spending less time out of the courtroom. Parks brought the same passion to the football games that she did while fighting for what is right.
