*President Trump pardoned 11 convicted criminals this week, including San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr., former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich AND Phaedra Parks’ former BFF, Angela Stanton.
We previously reported… Stanton published a tell-all book about the former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, titled, “Lies of a Real Housewife: Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil.”
According to allaboutthetea.com, the book accuses Parks of being the mastermind of an elaborate criminal scheme back in 2004 involving insurance and identity fraud — and her co-conspirators were Stanton and Phaedra’s ex-husband, Apollo Nida.
Stanton and Nida took the fall for the crimes and served time in prison — while Phaedra went unpunished.

Parks denied the allegations in Stanton’s book, and sued her for defamation in 2012. The case was dismissed with prejudice in June 2016.
During an interview with conservative site Newsmax, she stated: “I just started hyperventilating right at the airport. I was just crying like a baby. People thought someone had died.”
She continued, “I just had to sit there for a minute to digest it all. I always said that when I left this world, that would still be on my record. I just wanted to finally, truly be free. Today, hours before my birthday, it has happened for me … and I’m still in absolute disbelief, I’m in shock.”
This means her 2004 criminal conviction has been wiped clean and she’s no longer a felon.
Stanton appeared on TMZ Live Wednesday to speak about receiving Trump’s pardon news on her birthday. She also criticized President Barack Obama’s Fair Sentencing Act.
Meanwhile, House Republicans from Illinois have expressed their disappointment in Blavojevich’s commutation, issuing a joint statement that read in part …
“We are disappointed by the president’s commutation of Rod Blagojevich’s federal sentence. We believe he received an appropriate and fair sentence, which was the low-end of the federal sentencing guidelines for the gravity of his public corruption convictions. Blagojevich is the face of public corruption in Illinois.”
