If this is who I think it is, I'm not sure how to feel about it. I would hate to see GNA going after another young family. But the lady in question does seem to be thirsty for fame. Also, good thing Robyn won't be there cuz I could see some Season 1 style conversations if true.

When we see these fight videos, the majority of the time the person talking shit first is usually also the person who throws the punches first after they get a clap back from the person they were talking shit to. That's been the case on this show, too. The only time that's usually not the case is if the shit talker utters a racial slur. I think some of the BRAVO lawsuits allege production keeps them plied with alcohol to encourage the bad behavior. As much as we claim Candiace & Wendy let social media gas them up too much, nobody on the cast was gassed up by social media like Monique. She knew she was wrong for putting her hands on Candiace & told her husband & pastor as much, but Monique's fans have been telling her for YEARS that she was right to assault Candiace and she needs to return to the show to assault Candiace some more. Mind you, none of the "talk shit get hit" crowd that cheer Monique is actually going oops upside anyone's head in their off-screen lives. Debra did a whole IG live with Sesame Street characters making fun of being called Sesame Street. She wasn't standing up for herself. She wanted to beat Candiace's ass for clout and got the green light from Ashley & production to do it. But if you know nothing will happen to you because you were encouraged by production and cast and you think it will gain you more popularity, you're going to do it. Who threw the first punch? Your side, who was minding its' business and celebrating a win or the losing side's staffer, who was shit talking and mad because his guy lost? It's all a moot point because Candiace and her mouth are gone and won't be back around these people, so we shouldn't be seeing anymore vile mouths or fights on this show. If we should see reports in the future that Candiace was nasty in the mouth at Wegmans and the person she was nasty to busted her upside the head by the cheese bar, then we can lecture her about her mouth using real world examples. But even then, I would suspect the person laying hands on her probably talked shit to her first. I suppose to avoid this, she should just stay in the house indefinitely, as her very existence seems to encourage assaults.

"Talk shit get hit" is puffery from scared middle class women. People are not going around smacking people up because somebody said something they didn't like. Otherwise people would be in a fist fight every day. Furthermore, the people who carry out "talk shit get hit" in real life are not hoodrats with nothing to lose, ghetto people who don't value their freedom. They are often women like Monique & Deborah, who have everything to lose but know their looks, money or status in the community will protect them from consequences. This is more puffery and scared middle class pufflestuff on what "folks like Candiace" need to learn to do. "Folks like Candiace" aren't going around calling people vermin, varmints, hoodrats or the help on a regular basis because there's no reason to. There is no fight or a threat of a fight ...99% of people in real life don't live life like that. Both Monique & Debra decided to fight Candiace because other people were laughing at them. They felt humiliated & ashamed & decided Candiace needed to pay for that shame. In the end, Monique was rewarded for beating up Candiace* with another full time contract. Debra was rewarded for lying on Chris by being brought back to be mic'd up and filmed again. It's doomed because it's fake and IMO next season will be about proving Candiace was the issue instead of addressing the actual issues,

The majority of the Potomac cast did not grow up in the hood or scary big city. They were not throwing hands at the Jack & Jill social or the AKA debutante ball because somebody said something they didn't like. At 35+ years old, they're old enough to know how to fight with their words and not with their hands and they're old enough to know if you put your hands on somebody because they said something you didn't like, YOU will face more consequences than they will. Just as we say women over high school age should know "talk shit, get hit", women over high school age should also know "If Susan has a nasty mouth when I'm rude to her, maybe I shouldn't be rude to her." So if Candiace should learn not to run her mouth at people because someone may hit her if her words land the wrong way, other people should learn if they don't want Candiace to attack them, leave her alone. It works both ways. The problem is people think it shouldn't have to work both ways, they should be able to talk shit to and about Candiace and they should be able to beat her ass but if she talks about them, that's wrong. That's not how it works. While both Charrisse and Mia were both wrong for blaming Candiace for her response, they were both correct in saying Candiace had too much to lose to tangle up with Deborah. This is why its good Candiace will likely not ever be around this production & cast again, whether it was Candiace's choice or not to separate from it. She's not innocent, but she's also not the one outsourcing her violence to hoodbooger henchmen, then pretending to have clean hands.

Gizelle and her crew ran off all the cast members who had other sources of income. So get used to Pork & Bean Pickleball and Driveway Dinners. We may have seen that in Season 9 because Gizelle definitely did not know Robyn was smack talking her to the bloggers, even though both of them pretended Gizelle knew. It's easier for Gizelle to believe Candiace made it all up than to believe her BFF was selling her out to the blogs too. The fun light moments stopped the moment GEBNA decided it was fun to lie on people's husbands, children and families.

Gizelle came off as a mean girl bully. People may not like Candiace but they dislike nasty ass bullies *more*. I hope they got rid of Robyn because she's useless and not because she's Gizelle's "minion" because Gizelle's actual minion is and always has been ASHLEY. If Gizelle is smart, she and Ashley will not attack anyone next season and keep everything light and fun, to show everyone that Candiace was the problem all along, not them. Gizelle can't fight against her nature, though, so she will attack somebody. She's going to leave Wendy and Karen alone. Ashley is her minion. So that leaves Mia or another newer cast member to attack. If you're darker than a paper bag, you can probably mark yourself safe from Gizelle next season.

NNeka wouldn't fit on LAMDC, even with the half of the cast that's still left. Wendy. Season 3 was actually Gizelle's villain origin story when Monique & Charrisse brought Kyndall on to expose Sherman and Sherman dumped Gizelle. Wendy should NOT reconcile with Nneka because Nneka has allowed herself to be a willing tool of GNA to spout harmful stereotypes against Wendy for her own personal gain. She could've said simply that Wendy's mom called and cussed her and Lebe out. She didn't need to say anything about shrines & witchcraft. Oscar wanted to fight Candiace BECAUSE Candiace would NOT talk to her. As I recall, Sesame Street threw the drink on Candiace not when Candiace called her Vermin or The Help. Snuffy threw the drink on Candiace after Candiace turned her back on her and went back to dancing. Monique sure backed the F up when Robyn's burly ass stepped to her. Gizelle has pushed out 2 cast members and has let it be known she is That Girl on Potomac and protected by production so the rest of the cast is on notice they better do what Gizelle says and better not displease her or they will be without a job too. The network is obviously ok with this or they would shut her down. She'll get taken down if she starts messing with their money. Right now they can say Candiace was the reason for the show failing (especially if she actually did quit and took her baby story with her). But if Seasons 9 and 10 and beyond are worse, they will have no choice but to revisit Gizelle's role on the show.

Andy didn't ask Candiace specifically, he asked everyone. Everyone except the GEBs and Ashley said they were willing to take responsibility for their parts. Gizelle, Robyn & Ashley did not take responsibility nor feel the need to because they are protected by production*. I do not believe Candiace was fired but if she was, she wins no matter which way you spin it. She's no longer associated with a failing show and network/production/cast members will have to earn their checks a different way. She has other things going on. Fired or not, she went out on top. If the show continues to decline in Season 9 with the remaining cast, you can't blame Candiace or her antics on that. Time for Gizelle, Ashley and the rest to grow up and start doing their jobs or go wherever Juan Dixon is. *Robyn was NEVER wanted for the show, it was Gizelle who persuaded them to take Robyn and keep her on the show year after year.

You can meet and greet Ashley and Monique, among other local reality stars at the Kickstart Health & Wellness Expo on June 22.

Unfortunately, for some reason she is favored by the powers that be. Monique said in an interview ( I don't know if it is a recent interview) that at the Season 5 reunion production edited out Gizelle's meltdowns & tantrums because of the binder. Monique decided to leave after seeing how production edited that reunion to protect Gizelle. Production protection of Gizelle is why Candiace is no longer employed by BRAVO. Gizelle made it known to everyone she is protected by production. While that was the flex needed to get rid of Candiace, I don't know if that was a good thing for the show because if you're a current cast member, you are now on notice that you bet not cross Gizelle or you'll be on the unemployment line with Candiace. And if you're a new potential cast member, do you want to sign up for the show knowing Gizelle will lie on you and hyou're not allowed to clap back or be upset about that or you'll be on the unemployment line too. I see this show being put on pauce for at least 6-8 months before they resume filming. If they film earlier than that, they've learned nothing and it will be more than the same.

Candiace realized production/network was always going to protect Gizelle. She knew this time she wasn't going to comply with their demands or keep bending to Gizelle so she decided to leave. Candiace will never be allowed on RHOP again as long as Gizelle is a part of the cast. Gizelle is not going to allow it. I think if RHOP is now the Gizelle & Friends show, BRAVO needs to restructure the show around Gizelle and her friends. It's no longer an ensemble show and I think if BRAVO is honest about that, it will be better than what we got for Season 8. Wendy doesn't fit with Gizelle's friends so they need to release Wendy and not worry about the backlash of all of the darker skinned cast members leaving the show. If viewers don't like it, they can stop watching the show and that should lead to a less toxic fanbase & viewershiop. If RHOP is now the Gizelle show, BRAVO actuallly needs to make it the Gizelle show and see where it takes them.

BRAVO had no intentions of firing Candiace. What they intended was production would talk to Candiace, tell her she needed to take responsibility for her role in Season 8 and come to a resolution with Gizelle and she would do it, because she had done it before. Production did talk to her and they also asked her not to go in on Gizelle & Robyn (per her ET interview) She was receptive to that, which is why she was the first one to say she was willing to take responsibility and ownership of what she needed to own. Wendy, Mia & Karen followed. Gizelle & Robyn sat quiet and Gizelle said she was looking forward to the ownership. That's because production told Gizelle that Candiace would be apologizing to her as a condition of moving forward with the show (and Gizelle told Robyn this) When Candiace realized only she was to be held responsible & accountable and not Gizelle, she & Chris went back in that dressing room and decided time was up. She was about 7-8 weeks pregnant at that point and dealing with Gizelle & that production wasn't worth it. That's why when Gizelle barked at her to GET OUT! LEAVE! and Candiace replied "Oh I'm out." If there was a part that made BRAVO say "we can't move forward with this current cast" it was probably the part where Candiace apologized...that Gizelle would weaponize her children. So Candiace quit because she knew she would likely be fired for not apologizing to Gizelle for being upset about Gizelle lying on Candiace's husband and bullying her on set. As for Robyn, I'll concede she was justified in taking a potshot at Candiace in her announcement. After all, Candiace did call her a fraud, went on multiple interviews and said she should be fired. I'll give you that. Robyn is still a clown ass circus clown because she's too busy telling somebody's else story instead of telling her own. That's why she's unemployed today. As for Candiace, I think she's pitching a baby show with another network. That baby announcement was a little too professionally done to be done for the fun of it. There's also a rumor she's moving to Atlanta and Chris already has a job lined up there. That's just a rumor though.

1. Robyn said she wanted to have respect for the network and wait until after all of the reunion had aired before announcing her departure. That was a shot at Candiace because Candiace announced her news before the reunion aired. 2. When Robyn said at least she's being honest about being fired unlike other people claiming they're stepping away and taking a break. That was another shot at Candiace who mentioned in her statement she was stepping away and taking a break. That's clown behavior from Robyn. The girl is gone...Robyn never has to have anything to do with Candiace ever again. I don't know. When I'm finished with someone, they literally do not exist to me again. Robyn made it clear to Candiace several times she wants nothing to do with her...why did she feel the need to take a potshot on the podcast? Just a silly sad clown.

Most professors have stank faces. Probably because their students are allegedly legal adults but the students and their parents act like they are little kids.

It doesn't matter if Candiace was fired or not, that was not Robyn's story to tell. That's why Candiace was mad at Robyn in the first place: Robyn is too busy trying to tell other people's stories instead of telling her own. If BRAVO did fire Candiace and is letting her save face, who is Robyn to say Candiace needs to be honest about being fired? Further, I've also heard that Robyn is blaming her firing getting leaked* on Candiace. But it was Robyn's blogger friend who confirmed her firing that same day on Twitter. Robyn is a clown ass clown at the fair and the carnival and the circus. Too busy worrying about what other people have got going on instead of worrying about herself. That's why she's jobless today and once Juan finds a new laundress, she's going to be manless too. Robyn still taking potshots at Candiace after neither one of them will ever have to work with each other again shows if both of them had remained, there never would've been any resolution. She's a series regular.
