12 Celebs whose lives were completely destroyed after Reality TV (With Pictures)

8. Apollo Nida

Apollo Nida is best known as the ex-husband of Phaedra Parks ofThe Real Housewives of Atlanta. Nida was a cast member on the show for several seasons, and apparently, his celebrity status got to his head. He got into some (more) trouble with the law, and was sentenced to prison. Parks was so embarrassed about the arrest, that she took months to speak about it, and was seen partying with her friends while her man was being carted off to jail. Nida will spend eight years behind bars, and the judge presiding over his case stated that his financial and celebrity status would not work in his favor. Some say that Apollo’s decision to be in the reality show in the first place highlighted his criminal past.
