Phaedra Parks' Ex Apollo Nida Arrested for Family Violence Scuffle: Shocking Details Revealed!

Former "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star, Apollo Nida, has once again made headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. The reality TV alum was recently arrested and charged with family violence battery following a heated altercation with his wife, Sherien Almufti, also known as Sherien Copes.

The incident, which unfolded in March, reportedly began when Copes returned home from a night out with friends and had a few drinks. What started as a verbal dispute quickly escalated into a physical confrontation when Nida, 45, allegedly showed Copes a video of her kissing another man.

According to Copes, Nida then proceeded to pull her by the hair and push her against a refrigerator, sparking a scuffle between the couple. In a desperate bid for help, Copes ran outside to call the authorities, only to find her phone snatched by Nida in the midst of the chaos.

Upon police intervention, Nida provided a statement aligning with Copes' version of events, with the only discrepancy being his claim that he attempted to retrieve her phone during the argument. Despite the absence of visible injuries on Copes, Nida was taken into custody and charged with domestic violence and simple assault.

Prosecutors have since leveled a misdemeanor count of simple battery - family violence against Nida, accusing him of making physical contact of an insulting and provoking nature by pulling Copes' hair and pushing her. While a court hearing has taken place, the outcome of Nida's plea remains undisclosed.

In response to the incident, Copes revealed that the altercation served as a catalyst for the couple to address their issues and seek couples therapy, ultimately bringing them closer together. Despite this reconciliation, Nida's troubled past, including previous convictions for fraud, raises questions about his legal standing at the time of the altercation.

As the saga unfolds, the public remains captivated by the tumultuous relationship between Nida and Copes, underscoring the complexities of love, conflict, and redemption in the spotlight.
