You won’t believe what happened on The Real Housewives of Potomac! When it first aired, everyone was so excited. It was all about rich, bohemian women living the fancy life near D.C.
Karen Huger, who makes money and throws charity parties, silly beauty queen Ashley Darby, and another pageant star who’s completely spoiled, Candias Dillard-Bassett. Then there’s Gisele Bryant, who acts like a classy first lady, and Robin Dixon, the quiet basketball wife.
These women were all about the shadows and fancy gossip — not the screaming and table-flipping you see on other Housewives shows. It was like a vibe, you know?
A crazy battle ruined everything
Candias, the princess who never said “no,” clashed with Monique Samuels, a football wife with a big personality. They were complete opposites.
Candias grew up with money and her bossy mom with her fiancé Chris paid for everything. Monique? She moved from a normal life to a life of luxury after marrying her NFL hubby.
So, at this wine tasting, they started yelling. Then it got crazy — hair pulling, slapping, and wine splashing everywhere! The other women were scared, picking teams like it was schoolyard beef.
The show was a mess.
Candias ran to the police and said Monique attacked her, but Monique responded to her own lawsuit.
Both were eliminated, but the damage was done. Monique jumped ship before season 6, which left the cast divided and in limbo.
Fans were confused online – some were team Candias, some were ride or die for Monique. I watched TikTok about it for weeks! Great atmosphere? Gone. Now it’s just drama, like every other housewife show.
Later, Ashley said she saw Candias egging Monique on, which only made their feud worse. And look at this – Karen recently got into a DUI controversy and Robin got a felony conviction for lying.
The show is still on, but it’s not as popular as it used to be. I used to love Potomac for being fancy and different, but that feud ruined it.
