Well, it sounds like Candiace Dillard got the asswhooping she has been begging for for months. It seems that back on October 16, the RHOP were filming and Monique Samuels actually had enough of Candiace and dragged her by the hair. I really hope they air the footage of that.
For some reason, Candiace didn’t file charges until last Thursday almost three weeks after the altercation alledgedly occurred. The commissioner found probable cause in Dillard’s complaint to charge Monique Samuels with second degree assault. Monique Samuels was issued a summons to appear in court to answer the charges on December 23. Merry Christmas.
Candiace Dillard’s attorney’s statement cracked me up. Especially this part,“We also pray that Monique will get some help,” said Walker. “The summons to court charge of Second Degree Assault is just one step below first-degree assault and must be taken very seriously. This behavior has no place in our society.” I mean has he met his client?
Everyone Needs To Get Help
Monique Samuels attorney stated to PEOPLE, “To be sure, my client did nothing but defend herself in the face of more very aggressive behavior by Ms. Dillard. If this event occurred during taping of the show, I am confident that the video will bear all of this out. My client has every right to file for a counter criminal summons, as well, and will consider doing so, while fully defending herself in this action that has been filed with the Court. Either way, I am confident that she will prevail on this matter. Going forward, we hope that Ms. Dillard seeks the help she needs to avoid creating these kinds of unsafe and unfortunate circumstances in and outside of the workplace.”
Bravo should never have let Candiace Dillard on the show. She’s a thug. She exhibits thug behavior on the show and online. She is always coming at someone. Now she is surprised when someone fights back? What a punk move. She pulled your hair. Get over it.
Candiace is a thug in a cocktail dress.
*slow claps*… Love the throwback reference 🙂
She’s a thug with a rabbit fur vest ;).
While not a proponent of violence, I’m #teammonique
Me too. Candiace is unbearable.
we’re talking about a women who pulled a knife on a potentially pregnant women and threatened to beat up monique when she WAS pregnant unprovoked. good luck with your defense candiace. i have three brothers and my mother always told us “provoking is just as bad as hitting,” so if we intended on taunting, teasing or provoking other kids we needed to be ready to accept the consequences it came with. i sincerely doubt chris will be sticking around for much longer. he doesnt need her tarnishing the brand he’s trying to build for himself.
Well said. And that is Kenya’s M.O.too she loves to poke at people.
I don’t normally walk around wishing people receive a beat down however….every once in a while it’s nice to see a bully or someone aggressive get their comeupance.
Totally agree with you slice.
I can’t stand Candice…..she got what she deserved. I thought they had a clause in there contracts against this sort of thing against filing against other cast members
You can’t sue another co-worker, but this is actually the state filing assault charges unfortunately. I hope that once the DA or judge sees the videotape that it gets dropped/thrown out of court.
I’m sure the green-eyed monsters will be backing Candiass since they’re so jealous of Monique.
They actually can sue each other. Not for defamation. But the can press charges for criminal assaults or criminal theft. Porsha go arrested (but nothing ever happened) for attacking Kenya. Kandi took Kim Z to court for failure to pay her for her services (because Kim feels like she never has to pay for her services). If one of these fools actually shoots or stabs the other they don’t get a pass because of a Bravo contract.
What they cannot do, as Vicki just got a lesson on, is sue castmates for defamation. And techincally, they can still do that. That will have breeched their contract though and could be immediately dropped from the show. An employer can’t take away your right to sue anyone. But they can put it in the contract that they are required to go through arbitration and not doing so may result in them voiding their employment contract.
I really thought Kandi should have sued Phaedra — accusing someone of conspiracy to drug, kidnap and rape someone is damned serious. But leave it to Kandi to go one better and do “Welcome to the Dungeon.” I hope she made money on that venture.
She continues to make money on that venture. 🙂 She’s very financially savvy AND SHE PAYS HER TAXES! Imagine that!
Kandi is no ones fool. She is one smart cookie…no pun intended. Fool her once, she learns from her life and makes money from it! I mean really, “Kandi factory”, she’s smart.
Definitely didn’t want this for Monique and wish she didn’t take the bait and just handled the situation differently. Hopefully she learns from this mistake and never deals with that childish trick again. You don’t need this show Monique, the money may be good but it’s not worth going to jail over.
I agree, Candace isn’t a good fit for the show! She’s more Love&HipHopish… #TeamMo
Yes!! She is horrible.
Ugh. Monique had me up until this. Unless evidence emerges that Monique acted out of self-defense, this wasn’t a great choice.
Yet even now, I have no sympathy for Candiace. She’s engaged in so much vile behavior that she’s not some completely innocent victim. Still, Monique shouldn’t have pulled her hair. Now Candiace gets to play the “victim card” next season of RHOP.
it was probably a weave or wig, no hair that grew out of candiace’s Scalp. Can that still be considered assault? 🤣
I’m sure Candiace is already consulting Danielle Staub on how to explain this as the most violent assault anyone has ever witnessed.
😂😂😂
That is the greasiest comment I’ve read anywhere all week 😃
Greatest *
No, greasiest works!
Wig, weave, her natural hair that sprouts from her scalp… does not eeemmm much matter- it’s part of their person. So YES either or- it is assault! Grown folk need to keep their hands to them selves-period.
I agree. I can understand wanting to smack Candiace silly, but you can’t just smack people for being assholes. I want to know what happened before Monique allegedly assaulted Candace. I really, really, really hope Monique WAS defending herself. Candiace is awful.
Yes, this. If Monique just lashed out after Candiace said more of her usual stupid shit, then all she accomplished was giving Candiace a new excuse to claim she’s the victim.
Again, look at what happened when Jacqueline Laurita’s daughter Ashlee pulled Danielle Staub by her weave. Even though Ashlee was understandably frustrated by Danielle talking shit about her family, she was the one who was charged with a misdemeanor because she was the one who physically attacked Danielle.
This is why it’s generally a good idea never to feed the bottom-feeding trolls.
I read that Candiace threw a glass of wine in Mo’s face & that’s when Mo slammed her head into the table.
Please read the commenting rules. Specifically about discussing things your ead somewhere else here.
That’s why it’s assault and not battery. Battery is touching someone, assault is a reasonable apprehension of an imminent battery. Not a DC/Maryland lawyer but these are the common law definitions. Second degree assault is likely intent to cause serious bodily injury.
Less-severe forms of domestic violence are covered by Maryland criminal code § 3-203, a section devoted to assault in the second degree. According to this code, it is illegal to commit the crime of assault, defined as attempting to cause or causing bodily harm to another individual.
This probably falls under “attempting to cause…” GURL, HAVE A SEAT.
(not You, Beak. CandyAss.)
Atdleft you’re so absolutely correct that’s call self defense Candace had a deadly weapon in her hand and that weapon was a glass with a drink inside of it that liquor could have blinded Monique and I doubt very seriously if Chris going anywhere Chris love is wife and children trust and believe
If I had a nickel for everytime a house wife has tossed a drink in someone’s face, I’d have a lot of nickel. Never in the history of the world has anyone gone blind from getting wine tossed in their face.
AND ONCE MORE WITH FEELING, there is no reliable information at the moment (but I am working on it) to confirm WTF Candiace did to provoke Monique. Right now everyone is speculating based on how these things usually go down on these ridiculous shows.
Anxiously waiting here. I’m team Monique. I know if anyone can find out what really transpired, it’s you. This is the only site I put any faith in what I read.
its my understanding that she threw, not only the contents of the glass, but the entire glass – that’s assault
Welcome Piginawig! Where do you come by this understanding? Were you present when the “alleged assault” happened?
I think he was talking about the white Chris, who is married to Candiace, not one married’s to Monique. Candiace’s Chris does not have children with a housewife cast member.
I never even realized there were two husbands named Chris, and I recap the show! LOL.
Definitely team Monique! I can’t stand Candiace. She is a thug.
Drag her Monique!! Candiace looks weak as hell daring Monique to do something and when she finally does, she runs crying assault. Don’t start none, won’t be none. You wanna talk a big game? You better be prepared to back it up otherwise you’ll always look like the pink bitch everyone knows you are! Cannot wait to see Candiace’s humiliation!
I damn near wrote the same exact comment! Candiace definitely started somethin that she couldn’t finish. Weak AF!
I never liked Monique but with time she grew on me! Candiace is a toxic individual. It’s a shame that we have gotten to this level of discourse in society. Young woman look up to these women. It needs to stop! Peace my friends!
Why wait three weeks? Seems fishy to me
Probably took her that long to scrape the change together to hire a lawyer.
I expect she was trying to get Monique fired in that time, aided and abetted by Karen no doubt, outraged letter from attorneys and such, and when that didn’t work went to assault route. All that will do is get her bounced from RHOP and that would be a shame because she really is that one you love to hate. #teamsamules.
Karen posted on her IG that Monique was one of her best friends so I doubt she will be helping candice
To be spiteful and wait until it’s closer to the holidays so she can ruin Mo’s holidays.
As far as I can tell Monique is not only the most beautiful housewife on the franchise with the best looking women but she is an admirable genuine person. I think she and her husband are smart and I really only wish the best for them. I feel sorry for candidace. She seems like she really struggling emotionally. You can only push someone so far. As much as I dislike violence it’s human nature. I hope that the fans and producers recognize the star they have in Monique and the liability that candidate is and act accordingly.
Hi, Candiace! Didn’t try too hard to disguise yourself, did you?
How did you get that this is Candiace from this? These #hiashley replies are getting old.
Candiace it is! And Chris, she probably tried very hard…she’s just not that smart!
She will continue the case until after the holidays. Then she will plea bargain it down and do community service max and anger management. You should’ve made it count Monique. f she came for me, I would do weekends to give that broke ass bitch what she deserves.
Monique’s lawyer will subpeona the production footage if they have to. This will be thrown out. I am not in the least bit worried about Monique. She won’t get time or probabtion or anything from this. It’s is just some stupid shit that will go nowhere. Unless Candiace has an actual injury that she can prove occurred as a result of the dinner brawl. Monique’s lawyer will say there were three weeks of time between the filing and the incident and there is no way to prove that whatever bodily harm Candiace supposedly had was a result of the altercation with Monique. He’s already asking for the footage.
I hope so TT.
I just don’t get Candiace being on RHOP in the first place. I get the new world order Bravo is trying to establish casting younger women but the RH franchise is supposed to be aspirational. Candiace doesn’t have money and is very unlikely to ever see real money. Why is she here ? Monique fits the brief. Candiace I could care less about . Maybe she’s the only Potomac HW who will reliably film with Karen ? This whole assault thing, apart from the thuggery, fills me with irritation because production will probably grant Candiace another season because of it. Look at Porscha over in Atlanta. And Porscha married money , has a job in entertainment and married more money. Porscha continues to ensure she’ll be cast next season with her baby and latest drama with Dennis. WHO amongst us could care less about Candiace’s ‘motherhood journey’? Not me.
That is funny, aspirational? There isn’t a woman on ANY of these franchises that I aspire to nor their lifestyle. If what they represent in their actions is caused by their money and fame I would want no part of who they are or what they have.
I agree 100 per cent that they tend to award thugary. It is rewarded in NJ, Potomac, Atlanta, Orange County they have all had moments of violent behavior and the participants were not only kept on but in some cases rewarded with celebrity perks. Bravo is everything that is wrong with this industry.
Don’t forget Beverly Hills. Lisa Rinna didn’t throw wine in someone’s face, she broke a glass and was getting ready to cut a b!tsh with it.
Then it ws copied by one to the Married To Medicine women. It’s like monkey see, monkey do with these shows. I think Brandi Glanville was the first to start the wine tossing. Rinna started the glass breaking… and Porsha started the hair dragging. Nothing happened to any of them. So Bravo essentially greenlighted the behavior or ratings.
Hell, they used Russell Armstron’s suicide for ratings.
Then Nene Leakes GOT AN UNPRECIDENTED RAISE in the middle of her contract after punching a cameraman and knocking out his teeth! I wonder how much he was paid not to sue????
It’s ridiculous. Someone could murder a cast mate on these shows and get a spinoff from Bravo.
Candiace has NO MONEY AT ALL other than what Bravo pays her. She has less money tha Brandi Glanville, and me for that matter. She was clearly brought on to be the thug/loose cannon. And is encouraged to do so. Bravo just likes to play “how far can we push these women after plying them with unlimited alcohol.” It is a very dangerous game they are playing.
Also, my source say they will NOT release the raw footage to the court. I’m not sure they can get away with that but it seems like they will cause things to be dragged out if asked.
I think Tamara may have started the wine throwing way back when she doused Jena Keogh when she left Simon. I did laugh when Tamara ran like a scared little girl.
Oh yeah I am not even sure I was watching back then. I had a real job. LOL. Geena didn’t go blind either.
We can’t forget the “unbeweaveable” hair pulling of Danielle Staub!!
I can’t remember the final results of that court case.
Wowzers!
Monique has threatened to go for it before, sounds like she fulfilled that promise? (I think while she was super pregnant at Katie’s hoe down?)
Candiace is super thirsty, but I still kinda like her in the cast in a live to hate way.
Candace is the thug. Monique is the one that yoked Robin with an umbrella, now thus. Smh.
Candi-ass is a wannabe thug. She’s been lucky this far that her ass hasn’t been whooped several times by now. What does she expect when she wants to get loud and in peoples faces. 100% team Monique…even if it wasn’t self defense. Who the fuck pretends to be hard but then goes and sues someone for assault over weave pulling?! Thats a punk ass move, Candiace! As the phrase goes, “Don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing”…
Totally agree. Candiace is a poser with no real money or talent. She is clearly jealous of Monique, who is both beautiful and rich, intelligent and great mom, and has a wonderful husband. Candiace will never even approach what Monique is.
Candiace has threatened and bullied since she was on the show. She is a low life with a bully low life poser mother. Anyone who is a patient of her mother should run now. Candy got what she deserved.
Totally team Monique.
Tacky, tacky, tacky
I need to see what lead up to the hair draggin before I decide who’s side I’m on. Yeah, Candace has been like a lil Chautauqua, but Monique can be pretentious and shady; so I’ll wait til I see more.
I don’t condone violence by I’m so Team Monique. Also has anyone else noticed that Candiace hasn’t posted with her husband since this all went down. As he appears to be friends with Chris Samuels I imagine it must be hard for him and may be taking their side. It also seems Candiace is back in the fold with her mother as well.
The same mother that hit her over the head with a pocketbook lol
I’m surprised that she didn’t try and sue her mother as well. Oh but wait, her mother pays for everything so she can’t,
@Libby Hollingshead—Same here! I need more information before deciding who was wrong in this instance as I really want to give both the benefit of the doubt. However, I don’t see Monique reacting in this way without significant provocation.In theory,words should not provoke physical violence but we are human and it happens. I really don’t want to see her beautiful family adversely affected because of reality show nonsense and pettiness.
Oh no! Candiace is so annoying but now Monique has provided her with a “ victim” storyline, which is ironic based on Candiace’s combative behavior throughout. Varying versions are whether Monique “did a Porsha”( grabbed Kenya’s hair after verbal provocation) or “a Quad” on M2M ( grabbed Lisa Nicole’s hair after Lisa threw a drink in her face ) Either way, Monique’s violent reaction cannot be condoned and will be damaging whether or not she is convicted but we know Bravo production does not care and will only be super excited about the prospects of higher ratings .
I hope this is it for Monique. It’s so not worth it.
BATS- Lmbo!
Monique is … well use to be, one of my FAVES on the show. I’m busting at the seams laughing at the memory loss…or fan-domania denial of the FACT that she too has exhibited a good deal of hood ratchetness since her arrival to the show. Most occurring BEFORE Candace became a part of the cast. Then there is the most ratchet of of ALL classless ratchet- Miss drink antyone under the table belchin’ and scratchin’ simultaneously-Ashley. Talk about gutter! YEP- since DAY ONE of her tenure on the show.
Candice has not laid hands on anyone…she certainly is (personality /behavior) no worse than the aforementioned – neither them or the green eyed bullying bandits. They ALL need to grow-up and class-up!
Not a good look on ANY of them. 😉
Candiace did go after her cast mate with a knife though. Whilst not violent in itself if Ashley had done the same to defend herself it could’ve turned extremely nasty.
People were annihilating Porsha when she pulled Kenya’s hair
This is the same person trying to be a loud mouth bad ass swinging a butter knife at Ashley. Monique does walk that walk! Little girl just assumed she can get away with another over the top tantrum. Finally someone shut that down!!!
Team Mo!
I’m glad somebody did it. Especially after seeing her threaten Ashley with a knife. This made me actually love Monique, I didn’t care for her when she first came around
I am not on either team. I hate all of them
If you’re going to talk and start as much mess as Candiace does then you should be prepared to back it up when someone calls your bluff…as my momma always says “Don’t write no checks your butt can’t cash”.
Is your mom Captain Lee? lol
