Phaedra Parks’ ex-husband Apollo Nida has reportedly been arrested for assault after his wife Sherien Almufti allegedly accused him of putting his hands on her during a domestic dispute in March.
According In contacta site that claimed to have seen the court documents, Nida was charged with domestic violence and simple assault.
Following Apollo’s alleged arrest, he was reportedly taken to a local jail, where he posted $3,000 bail and was released within hours.
In March, Almufti reportedly called police to report her husband, telling authorities she had come home from a bar when an argument about infidelity broke out between them, the site said.

Almufti reportedly said Nida submitted a video of her kissing another man, then “pulled her by the hair” and “pushed” her “against a refrigerator.”
She ran outside to get help and when she returned to retrieve her phone, Apollo had left the scene, the site added.
Police viewed surveillance video of the confrontation, but it did not show any physical altercation, the site said.
The mother of one child, who has a daughter from a previous relationship, refused medical attention.
The report also noted that she did not have any visible marks or bruises from the alleged interaction.
Nida later spoke to police and admitted that he tried to take his wife’s phone away during the argument, according to InTouch.
He explained that when he tried to take the mobile device from her, she ‘curled up into a ball’ on the ground in an attempt to keep the phone, but he took it from her, it was also reported.
Nida reportedly confirmed that Almufti went out to seek help, but said he followed her to return her phone.

A hearing was later held, and court records did not reveal whether he entered a plea or hired an attorney.
According to In Touch, the court document read: ‘I, Keith E. Gammage, Attorney General of Fulton County, State of Georgia, for and on behalf of the citizens of Georgia, do hereby charge APOLLO EDWARD NIDA with the crime of SIMPLE ASSAULT – DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, a misdemeanor, because said defendant did in Fulton County, State of Georgia, on or about March 11, 2024, intentionally make physical contact of an insulting and provoking nature with the person of Sherien Copes, who is the defendant’s current wife, by pulling her by the hair and pushing her.’
Almufti later told the publication that the incident “was a huge fight between a married couple that has brought us much closer together since then. We have worked through our issues and have been going to couples therapy.”
Parks and Nida share two sons, Ayden, who was born in 2010, and Dylan, born in 2013.
Apollo’s new wife, Sherien, has a daughter from a previous relationship.
