Yahoo Lifestyle Quad Webb Has 'Little to No Relationship' with 'Married to Medicine' Co-Star Phaedra Parks (Exclusive)
11 years on television and Miss Quad is just getting started! After being isolated from the group last year, Quad Webb is currently enjoying one of her best seasons of Married to Medicine yet, firmly returning as a main fixture on the show she helped to launch back in 2013.
Parade got a chance to catch up with Webb, breaking down the legacy of M2M, what sets this season a part from the rest and where she stands with her co-star, Phaedra Parks.
"It's a huge accomplishment," Webb said when reflecting on the show's 11 years on Bravo. "Most shows don't get past Season 2, you know? They just don't. For Married to Medicine to still be around 11 years later and going into Season 12, it says a lot about the cast."
For a Bravo series, Married to Medicine has very little turnover compared to its counterparts, with Webb, Toya Bush-Harris, Dr. Jackie Walters, and Dr. Simone Whitmore all still here since Season 1, and Dr. Heavenly Kimes since Season 2.

"Now, I know a lot of people say, 'You know, they need to bring in new people,' and, you know, I do think that with new people you get new stories and things of that nature. But I do believe that you have to have the core. A lot of the shows, they change up so much that they lose their fan base, you know? People lose interest."
"It's really great to see Married to Medicine still around and also Miss Quad," she quipped. Season 11 marks a new chapter in Webb, as she rebuilds with this group of ladies, many of whom spent much of Season 10 icing her out.
"The shade of it all," she said when recalling her experience in Season 10. "The audience made that known. They were not shy at all in saying, 'What we saw in Season 10 happen to Quad was no good, do not allow it to happen again, and you guys need to correct that.' I think when the ladies of the show saw that, they didn't like how they were viewed."
Now, viewers are getting to see Webb in a new moment in her life, where she has found some new love with her boyfriend, King. "My relationship now is a united relationship," she explained.
"We work together, we work on our partnership. We encourage one another and support one another." She added, "I've never felt better about being with someone, and especially in this capacity, because the job itself is already hard."

"You get public scrutiny and everyone has an opinion, and then to come home and not have the support that you deserve, it's very difficult," she added. "And now I can say that I have that support."
While Webb is in much better standing within the group, that doesn't mean the season is without drama, especially when it comes to Phaedra. The RHOA alum joined Married to Medicine last year, and while Webb was once buddies with The Traitors star, she reveals to us that she has "little to no relationship" with her.
"I learned of some things that she was doing behind the scenes, and you just don't do it to a friend," she explained. "It's very unfavorable. I was very disappointed and hearing those things and then to have it confirmed, it was very sneaky. It was very low down and disgusting."
"There's little to no relationship with her," Webb continued, while still admitting she is "very proud of everything that [Park]'s doing" on her other shows. (Parks will appear on the new season of RHOA and just finished a run on Dancing with the Stars). "I want her to be where she wants to be," Webb said,hinting at her recent jump back to Real Housewives. "But, she's still the same old girl, like, nothing really has changed. You know, the whole Porsha and Kandi thing? That's pretty much who she is, you know?"
"I thought that she would be, more of a true friend, you know, and it's just not in her," she added. "She's just true to herself. That's it.
As for what's to come on the season, Webb teased epic revelations on their cast trip. "You're going to get all the things, all the things that you came for," she told Parade. "Even some of the pitfalls that people set up for me, oddly enough, they fell into them themselves! And so that's the 'aha' moment for me."
"You digging a grave? You dig one for me, you gotta dig another," she teased.
Married to Medicine airs Sunday nights on Bravo, with episodes streaming next day on Peacock.
