Phaedra Parks was fired from Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” because of a “morality clause” in her contract.

“There are lines listed in all cast members’ contracts that they cannot cross,” a source said. “Libel is one of them. She’s in breach of contract and the cast basically said, ‘Us or her.’ ”

On the show’s final reunion episode, Parks fessed up to spreading a bizarre rumor that co-star Kandi Burruss wanted to rape and drug castmate Porsha Stewart.

But Parks also pointed the finger at one of the producers for providing her with the false information in the first place.

“Phaedra tried to blame producers for manipulating the scenario, and it was cut from the reunion show. They’re not allowed to break the ‘fourth wall’ and talk about production. It may not have been entirely Phaedra’s fault, but she has to take the fall,” the source said.

A Parks source said there was “a producer who told her the drug and rape story, which she repeated to another cast member. It snowballed. The editing was not kind to her.”

A Bravo rep said, “Production is not involved.”
