RHoP In The Media: What's Going Down in the DMV

She's not malicious and doesn't want to hurt Robyn but continues to go to bloggers to tell how she and Juan were having sex and DM'ing for a year.

Oh, ok.

And the blogger commends her "integrity" for telling her side piece story, We already know Robyn is a sad sap for accepting Juan's tales, yet side piece feels justified because the same shady Juan told her the marriage was just a sham -- making everything okay. She's even implying that Robyn should have consulted her first in order to put out a story that was favorable to her. I could even hear her wee lower lip trembling over the "LIES" being told.

I don't even know if this is the real woman, but the whole thing is a mess.

In the clip, she didn’t actually say they were having sex, but she implied it. 

She must think we are as stupid as Robyn to think we wouldn't infer she and Juan were having sex. Otherwise, what was the point of showing the hotel receipt and if they didn't have sex, wouldn't that make Robyn's story true?

I'm personally skeptical of the blogger and the side piece because this is a no name, off brand blogger nobody's heard of before.  Yet HE has the scoop about Juan cheating with this chick from Canada? Most people with tea on RHOA/RHOP would go to Shade Room, Lipstick Alley or some of the more popular YouTube bloggers who routinely review RHOP. Not some little known blogger. All this makes me believe:

• The side piece & the blogger were in cahoots all along
• Because Juan is dumb and a cheater he fell into the trap
• Robyn married him to save face & to say FU to all the "haters"

Throw everybody in the trash

[Sweet-tea]

Yeah that’s a good point about this guy being an unknown blogger. But I believe Juan is a serial cheater and there was definitely something going on whether it was this woman or another. 

[Chatty Cake]

While I don’t necessarily think Juan is innocent, I think the Canadian should have snapped a pic of him in his undies if she was intent on coming forward. The receipt isn’t much. 
I finally watched Robyn on WWH from last week. I didn’t think Amdymwas hard on her at all although he didn’t look like he bought the story. I hate Eboni Williams so I didn’t finish the episode.

Who knew there'd be so much RHOP / Winter House crossover?

 

[drivethroo]

Ashley & Gizelle pallin around with the Winter House guys would've been a cute storyline.

Ashley talks about life in Arlington, VA:

Cliffs:

• She grew up in Maryland but loves Arlington for it's diversity (Maryland is pretty diverse itself, though)
• Being on RHOP hasn't changed her lifestyle, she still likes going to local parks and restaurants
• Her new neighbors don't know she's on RHOP
• She grew up in Silver Spring (but I heard she actually grew up in SANDY Spring) and worked multiple jobs to help Sheila make ends meet*
• She has a degree in Communications from the University of Maryland
• She's getting back to health and wellness & is teaching a yoga class in Toronto
• She wants to live a stress and drama free life (girl bye)

 

*This is why Ashley will never see it for Candiace. Ashley had to work multiple jobs as a young woman to support Sheila's bum ass.  I would bet a good chunk of her RHOP paycheck goes to supporting Sheila now and Ashley's younger siblings. Ashley is in perpetual survival mode because her family's survival has always depended on her, not Sheila.  

Meanwhile Dorothy gives Candiace what she wants (private school, college tuition, pagaent money**, cars, townhouses, money/partnerships in business etc).

Ashley isn't wrong for helping out her family but Ashley never should've been put in the position to have to work multiple jobs and essentially whore herself out to Michael in order to support Sheila, it should've been the other way around.

**Ashley probably financed her education and supported Sheila with the pageant money.

Monique claims again she is done with reality tv:

Cliffs:

• She's done with reality tv because reality tv isn't what she thought it could be
• Says she's tired of other people telling her story and thought it would be different the second time around
• Didn't like how she was portrayed on the first season of the new show
• Someone in the chat suggested creating her own show and Monique claims the networks don't want to show black love and they are focused on showing negative stereotypes*
• Felt the new show Love & Marriage DC was turning into a Housewives show and if she wanted to be on Housewives, she would be on Housewives (note:she claimed she left LAMDC because "the money wasn't right")
• She says she's in a different place where she doesn't want to bicker and fight anymore, she just wants peace
• Claims she didn't know how fragile her marriage was until she watched herself on Love & Marriage DC (so did the networks make up her marriage being in trouble or nah?)
• Blames production for making your story into whatever they want to make it into. Tried to be as perfect as possible but if production wanted to create a story for her, that's what they are going to do.
• TLDR: Nothing was her fault, it was all production (on two different shows on two different networks)

*Nothing says you hate negative stereotypes like beating up your castmate and running a year long smear campaign on them.

I liked Monique on Real Housewives but give me a break. I never watched the other show.  After her experience on Housewives she has to know how these reality shows work. I believe if she hadn’t gotten physical, she could have had a good run on Potomac. I even think she could have redeemed herself after the fight if she had shown remorse and really apologized to Candiace.
Could you imagine if Monique had reappeared after a hiatus to take Candiaces side against Gizelle and Ashley for going after Chris?

Interesting take on Ashley. I do think she put up with far too much from Michael Darby.

Monique needs to take several seats. 

She was by far the most popular housewife on Potomac. People loved seeing a beautiful brown-skinned woman living the good life with her lovely family (Monique's baby girl was an absolute doll).

This is one time that SHE ruined herself and it was not the producer's fault. She physically attacked Candiace for no damn reason and fucked it all up.

Monique (& Chris) produced the show from behind the scenes by calling up the other 2 couples & telling them what they could and could not say or discuss.  When the friend of the show (who apparently hadn't been told of this pact b/c they weren't expected to film more than a couple of scenes) started being messy & collecting bones, Monique tossed her under the bus and made a point of shunning her & giving her the Mariah Carey treatment (for context, Monique & this woman had known each other for 15 years because both were WAGs)

She & the producer were in a power struggle because Monique wanted the new show produced HER way to show her in a Perfect Patty light but the producer wanted the show run HIS way. So because Monique didn't get HER way, she packed up her toys and went home as filming for Season 2 started, potentially jeopardizing the whole production. The wives of the other 2 couples were not amused by Monique bouncing but luckily they were able to slide in a replacement couple at the last minute and the show is actually better now she is gone.

One of the Live Chat people suggested creating her own show and Monique said no, because the networks aren't interested in showing Black Love. Neither is she, because there is nothing stopping Monique from using Chris' money to produce a show about her & her family and putting it on her YouTube channel or pitching it to a streaming service. If she had a bunch of subscribers to her channel to watch her show, she could easily get more than the "little BRAVO check."

The smear campaign showed she had zero remorse and that's the real reason most of the cast wanted her gone.

Monique never would've taken Candiace's side...she would've sat back and watched them accuse Chris, then joined in with Ashley into trying to provoke Candiace into a response.  Remember, she was all-in on their plan to ice Candiace out in Season 5...and this was AFTER she knew about Gizelle's plan to bring the trainer rumors to the show...

I loved Monique and even took her side when she got physical with Candiace (I guess my morals are flexible). But post Potomac Monique has been a disappointment and what she’s saying now adds to it. I don’t want her back on the show anymore. I also think she never would have taken Candiace’s side cause she truly hates her. A lot of these people don’t hate who they’re fighting with, it’s just for the show. But this one I believe is legit.

Maybe Eminem heard about Gizelle & Robyn's antics and doesn't want his brand associated with them in any way.

[ZettaK]

Gizelle and Robyn filed an application to trademark "(Reasonably) Shady", and sell merchandise with that name. Eminem has a trademark for "Shady" already since the late 1990s, so he doesn't want them to use it.

Robyn and Charrisse are reportedly on the chopping block ahead of the show’s eighth season. Though contracts have not been sent out, producers are allegedly prepared to move on from these women as they feel their stories are “complete”.

Charisse definitely needs to go.

[drivethroo]

I think Charrisse is over, but Robyn has too much potential storyline not to be asked back. But if Robyn is asked back, BRAVO is going to severely humilliate her as punishment plus bust her salary down to a season 1 check. And she will have no choice but to accept the nasty treatment and low pay if she wants to hold on to that nice new house of hers...since she is the only one legally responsible for it...

 

[qtpye]

Salaries:

1. First Year $45-60K. Monique said she made no money after legal fees

2. Second Year $120,000

3. Somewhere between $300,000 to $500,000 for the rest of the seasons.

Chris Bassett had an interview with the Bravo Bros on Youtube:

• Production has been happy with the cast up til now
• Ashley "slid into HIS DMs" at 3am and he brought this up at the reunion
• Candiace's glam squad & Eddie confirmed Gizelle asked Chris to the room
• He lost 30-40K in gigs because people didn't want to be associated with him
• Production called the cast 3 weeks into filming & said they needed more drama and soon after the Chris rumors came up. He says Candiace had filmed scenes of her working on set but that wasn't shown*
• Does not like Michael at all and told about how Michael assaulted the woman in the Bahamas thinking it was Candiace
• Word on the street is BRAVO ain't happy with Robyn
• Says there could've been resolution with Monique but it will never happen because Monique is committed to her narrative as to what happened when we've all seen what actually happened. So, because of that, there's no path forward
• Says he messaged both Gizelle and Robyn after filming for S7 wrapped to come over to Candiace's house to hash it all out.
• Robyn was Candiace's closest friend on the show.

Chris has spoken before about his people pleasing, everyone needs to get along personality but that's what got him in trouble this season. These women don't like Candiace and he needs to let it be what it is. 

There would be no way I would sit down with anyone who lied on me or threw me under the bus for their own gain.

(*) Chris is actually corroborating Gizelle's claim that if production doesn't want to show a storyline, what can the cast member do?  So production is also a large part of the problem because they're not showing stories the audience wants to see, they're showing stories they think the audience wants to see. That's why a lot of times the "unseen footage" and "behind the scenes" clip shows end up being better than the season aired footage.

Both Candiace and Wendy have reported off-screen friendships with Robyn they felt was genuine but when the camera turned on, it was a different story. That speaks to a character situation within Robyn.

I just find it spiritually interesting Robyn's whole life and facade is being exposed from tip to tail. She sat ready to be exposed by the cast all season. She exploded when she thought Candiace was calling her fake in that Live.  But, even if Candiace WAS calling Robyn fake in that Live, if you know you aren't fake and haven't been fake, you wouldn't have been bothered. 

Robyn needs to sit by herself for a while and figure out why she is fake and if she's ready to "be real."

It's interesting to me that this continues to be positioned as a Robyn problem and not a Juan problem. Robyn isn't holding Juan hostage. He didn't have to 1) propose or 2) get remarried, and the fact that he did both of those things while very clearly behaving as if he didn't want to do either of them speaks to some super deep level of cognitive dissonance. Comments continue to be made that Juan's cheating is Robyn's issue. Her only issue is not being clear that she'd rather be a wife to a half-faithful Juan than single.

At the same time, I'm wondering why any woman would walk around in branded paraphernalia with a known philanderer.  He clearly keeps picking women that also don't have a ton of discretion or self-esteem.

Lawd, I saw all sorts of Christian, karmic, and schadenfreude-ic retribution in that phrase, and it made me feel just a little bit bad for Rob. But only a little bit.

If Robyn returns next year, she needs to earn her check. Period. We know she's got plenty of skeletons in her closet. Time for her to open the door and let us peek inside.

The reason it's a Robyn problem and not a Juan problem is because Robyn keeps making other people's problems HER problem. When Juan lost all his money, Robyn was right there to take the blame. Why? Was Juan not able to manage his own money? Because if that's the case, Juan would've lost all the money anyway, shady friend or not. Gizelle's getting the rat-ta-ta-tat from the cast, here comes Robyn putting on the body armor to catch the blows.

But do we see Juan or Gizelle putting on body armor to catch blows for Robyn? Nope! We see Juan leaving Robyn out by herself to look a fool while he's posing with a bottle of Gain with the latest woman he's been linked to and Gizelle will be raising her champagne flute next season while Robyn is fired from the show.

Robyn's inability to just let people catch their own deserved blows without her jumping in to catch the bullet makes other people's problems her problem.

I just think it's so interesting her whole life has been exposed as a lie and a fraud within a month's time. Robyn knows her life is a fraud. That's why she was sitting ready to be exposed by somebody on the cast for an entire year. That's why she wanted Charrisse back to expose Karen in case Karen exposed her. That's why she blew up at Candiace's Live because she thought Candiace was calling her out for being a fake ho. Because Robyn is a fake ho and until she sits in that and tries to figure out why she's not living right, nothing will go right for her.

I don't really see a way forward with this current cast.  Either Robyn & Gizelle need to be fired or Candiace & Wendy need to be fired. I just don't think these 4 cast members can co-exist on the same cast.

Also, the show needs an extended hiatus until they figure out what to do. Don't bring it back until it's figured out.

Peter had a right to call Mia out for lying about Wendy giving him the cookie.  Of course Mia will probably say Wendy gave Peter a box of Chips Ahoy or something.

Mia probably told G that Peter said he didn't know Mia & G like that instead of the truth, which was he didn't know the other women on the cast like that.

G wants to defend his wife but he needs to tell Mia to sit her ass down and STFU because her mouth and lies are part of why they are living from house to house today.

Michael is suing Candiace for $2 million dollars for defamation, TMZ reports. (I will not link or click on anything TMZ)

Why isn't Michael also suing BRAVO & Truly Original? They aired Candiace's claims, right?

Isn't Ashley's new house $2 million? I've seen reports her home sold for $2.5 million and I will assume $500K was put down.

Sounds to me like a ploy to make Candiace pay for Ashley's new house.  Perhaps Chris Bassett needs to sue Ashley and Gizelle for defamation too, since he has more of a case their claims hurt him financially than Michael's claims about Candiace.

Robyn, Gizelle, Ashley & Mia's bullshit will end up getting the show cancelled, but perhaps that would be for the best.  Put this show on hiatus for a few years, then bring it back on Peacock with a brand new cast.

This ain't gonna end well....for Ashley. I believe she's in on the lawsuit and wants either Candiace to pay for her new house or to be let go from the show. That very well may happen (Candiace being fired from the show) and while there's going to be a great number of people who will be happy to see Candiace gone, there's going to be an equal amount of people who will be appalled at seeing Candiace fired at the expense of Michael Darby, who has been sexually harassing and assaulting cast & crew since the show started.

Or, Michael could be using this to force ASHLEY off the show since no allegations about him would be made on the show if Ashley weren't on it. If RHOP got cancelled entirely that would work for him too.

Again, Ashley & Gizelle's bullshit is going to end up costing everyone, all because they don't have a storyline of their own.

This lawsuit is just a way for Ashley to get Candiace's generational wealth to pay for her new $2 million house. Ashley ran back & told Michael what Candiace said at the winery. A $2 million lawsuit against Candiace is so neither Michael or Ashley will have to pay for that house.

Unless Candiace kept repeating the allegations against Michael on social media, Bravo & the production company need to also be held responsible for not editing the allegations out and repeatedly airing it.  If BRAVO kept airing what Candiace said, I don't see how Candiace could be held responsible for violating a C&D.

Michael needs to prove Candiace knew she was repeating lies and that her lies cost him to the tune of $2 million. The burden of proof for a public figure is even higher. 

Chris actually has a better case of defamation against Ashley, Gizelle and Deborah if he can prove their lies cost him up to $40K in income as he has alleged.

I don't see how Candiace & Ashley could film together after this.  One or the other needs to be fired or they need to do an entire cast overhaul and move the show to Peacock.

Candiace's big mouth may have landed her in trouble. Michael Darby runs a successful business and does not play when it comes to money and attorneys. I don't think Candiace is protected from defamation actions when Michael is no longer featured on the show. I don't think he would go to the expense of litigation if his attorneys don't feel he has a case.

As for Chris' complaint that he has lost jobs/income, that's easy to say but difficult to prove. Are potential employers going to weigh in on something as trifling as this? Of course not. Washington DC is rife with legitimate scandal, and Chris' complaint is overwrought and silly. Chris is a nobody in this town. I think Chris is making excuses for his lousy employment track record. He needs to slink away from trying to be a housewife and seeking so much attention. It's weird and offputting.
