It’s Sunday night and that means lots of recapping! I’m going to start with a RHOP recap tonight because most of you are more interested in Potomac than 90 Day Fiance the other way. And if I do 90 Day first the RHOP suffers. Tonight, Wendy is having a sip and see. Is she even southern? It’s weird to me that so many housewives franchises are adopting southern traditions. I mean it’s fine. Just odd. Moving on…
Everyone seems to be loving this season of RHOP! But it seems to have lost it’s status a bit what with Robyn owing 90K to the IRS just a few years after filing for bankruptcy. Apparently she thinks she is going to make money selling hats. She says she has made 10K doing that. I do not believe her. Karen and the Black Bill Gates being estranged and Candiace and Monique coming to blows. Not to mention Michael’s wandering penis…it’s just not the escapism I need right now like some of the 90 Day Fiance shows are.
Wendy’s Husband, Eddie Is Estranged From His Family
Okay this makes sense, it’s a Nigerian version of a sip and see with lots of cultural traditions. This should be interesting and educational. Eddie seems to be on the outs with his family. It seems that Eddie’s mother was in some sort of a disagreement with Wendy’s mother when they were dating. And at some point Eddie’s mother became strongly against him marrying Wendy. So they stopped talking and Eddie’s mother refused to go to the wedding. Then his siblings decided to side with their mother. At least that is Wendy’s version.

Ashley & Michael Go For Counseling
Ashley tells the therapist that they had a relationship in the past where any sexual encounters outside the marriage were with the both of them. And his latest indiscretion violated they agreed upon rules. And even moreso, now that they have a baby she would like to end those sorts of relationships and be more focused on the child. Michael says that since the baby has arrived he is feeling isolated because Ashley spends so much time caring for the baby. It sounds like a cop out when I type it but Michael did seem very sincere. I try not to judge other people’s consensual relationships. Later, Ashley’s family drop by and her psuedodad seems to want to speak to him.

On the other hand, I am not a fan of how Karen interacts with her husband. Like Michael, he feels like Karen doesn’t pay him enough attention either. She ignores him and then gets mad that he has fallen out of love. Her husband thinks that the fame has gone to her head. It’s going to be another divorce by Bravo.
Candiace Goes To File Charges Against Monique
On the way to file the charges she talks to her mother on the phone. Apparently, she could not go with her and neither could her husband, Chris. So instead she had to enlist her friend Clinton to film with her so she could download us on what happened at the courthouse. So basically what happened was she filed a second degree assault charge on Monique. The sentence could be ten years in prison and or a $2,500 fine. Candiace told them that she wanted Monique prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Clifton is a very supportive friend.

Candiace also wants Monique’s social media admitted as evidence. Everyone on social media, okay not everyone, but most people on social media was totally team Monique. Monique played into that a little bit. She posted things like “Ask and you will receive.” This was clearly meant to be read in reference to all the times Candiace begged Monique to drag her ass before Monique gave her what she asked for. Also she liked a lot of tweets that were very anti-Candiace. That wasn’t a particularly smart thing for Monique to do. Candiace is upset that Karen is sort of riding the fence on this catfight. I should point out her that in Potomac, anyone can go file charges. That is what happened to Michael when the producer filed charges on him. The charges were dropped by the prosecutors office. They don’t like getting into these petty reality show spats.
Time For The Sip & See!
Who has a sip and see for fifty people at a museum? A normal sip and see is family and very close friends coming over to the house to get a glimpse of the new baby. And most of the time, you are not allowed to touch the child. And the kid is a bit old for a sip and see. Eddie really wants his kids to know his parents so he texts his mother with an invitation and asks her to extend it to his entire family.

Robyn arrives at the sip and see and she is literally the only one there. Not even Wendy and the fam are there yet. Monique was either not invited (as Wendy says) or excluded by production (which is more likely). On the ride over people begin to get the news regarding Monique’s charges. I love Monique’s mom! I love how she hold the baby like a Lion King! And, I love all the head ties and hats. The baby’s outfit is adorable! Did Candiace bring her own Corona Lights? lol. I am not sure why this recap is taking sofa king long. I guess I have a lot to say tonight?
Dinner Time
These ladies are willing to try new foods and I like that. But over dinner, the conversation is about Monique and the potential jail time. Gizelle says we don’t want her to go to jail. Candiace responds, “We don’t?” Ashley tries to defend Monique a little bit but she was not there when shit went down. She had excused herself to the restroom. Ashley says she could hear it all from the bathroom and Candiace was in Monique’s face. The green eyed monsters remind her that she was not there. Candiace accuses Ashley of being paid to defend Monique. Then, Candiace reminds Ashley that she is already married to a millionaire and doesn’t need anyone’s money. Candiace shoots back, “Congratulations, not for long.”

At this point Chris says to Ashley, “Shut up! STOP TALKING!” He seems like a decent guy I don’t know how he ended up with Candiace. Karen took some heat for not fully supporting Candiace since Monique is her friend. Sadly, none of Eddie’s family showed up to the sip and see.
What did you think about this episode.
Thank you for recapping!! Haven’t watched yet…but that is sad about Eddie’s family. I don’t believe Monique should’ve laid hands on another person, but lord have mercy Candice does try the patience. Chris could’ve done better.
Yes Chris could have done better…with almost any woman.
I have a hard time believing that the girls were just finding out on SM about the assault.
Did Erika or Rinna loan Robyn the pink dress?! That’s crazy that all three have the same dress.
Okay Robyn wore it first (which I am shocked) so maybe Rinna borrowed it from Robyn.
I found this episode be a bit boring. I’m tired of hearing and seeing the cat fight and glad the charges against Monique were dropped by the prosecutor. Gizelle was the instigator of the whole fight thing all because she’s fiercely jealous of Mo. Candiace has a big mouth and even started in on Ashley and her marriage until Chris told her to stop talking, which she ignored. Robyn has no storyline and her interaction with Juan is so forced. She’s has a lot of nerves getting in anybody’s business when she can’t seem to mind her own 90k business. The sip and see was well, over the top and quite frankly boring. I don’t think I’m going to like Wendy as she came on just a wee bit too opinionated and can’t seem to stop bragging about her 26 degrees. RHOP needs storylines that are not fake as in Gizelle and Pastor Penis and Robyn & her live in Ex. Perhaps the reunion will be more entertaining.
I totally agree with you Grand.
Dying. Of laughter…Pastor Penis
Then I thought I understood somewhat only to be reminded that Robyn confuses me. I mean Wtf?
Sorry if it appeared that I was confused but I was watching and hearing Robyn explain the businesses and making goals. Yet, I was laughing about penis pastor. This episode is really too much. I’m trying to remember when this happened. Was it really one year ago?
Pastor Penis!!
I might be completely wrong here, since I am in CA… but Candiace cannot file criminal charges. Criminal charges are filed by a DA, only. Candiace can file a civil suit, for damages. But that’s it.
In other words, what she actually did was report the incident. and then push herself front & center as a tragic victim. (I find it really hard to believe that anyone asked her if she wanted a jail sentence for the woman who pulled her hair). And if I recall correctly.. charges were filed after she reported the incident , then immediately dropped once the DA saw the video evidence
Candiace is wildly over estimating her importance
You are completely wrong. I only know this because we have been through this before with Michael and the producer who accused him of grabbing his ass. He was also able to file the exact same criminal charges. Then, IN MARYLAND, the prosecutor looks at it and decides if they have enough evidence to prosecute. They didn’t with Michael and they didn’t with Monique.
See further explanations here.
https://tamaratattles.com/2018/10/05/all-charges-against-real-housewives-of-potomac-michael-darby-have-been-thrown-out/
It’s weird I know but in Maryland under certain circumstances you can file CRIMINAL CHARGES as the “victim.” But in order for them to go to court the prosecutor’s office determines is the charges are supported.
I understand your disbelief…I felt the same way when Michael’s “victim” did it… but this is Amerika. Fifty states with Fifty different bizarre sets of laws.
Starting with Candice stunt bringing charges, It has never been good in the history of the housewife to envolve the law in it, usually goes south for them or goes south… Never like Candice chihugua moth always japping about some one and to make things worst she envolve the group…For me last night I Fast forward from the beginning of the baby It was kind of all confusing tome so I choose to get away from it…the rest are just not that interesting to me now more am just done with Potomac… The Hugers should get out before the end divocing like so many others on this franchise’s… like you said you watch this programs to get away from all the negativity of the world and them get slap with stupidity , just not worth my time… bye Potomac…
I can’t stand Candace. That is all
Agreed, she needs to zip it!
Abhor her.
I really don’t understand why there’s a total non acknowledgment from these ladies of candaices violent provoking behavior. This is the same woman who pulled a knife out on Ashley, now she’s a victim?
Gurl! You in danger. I get a lot of “I AM LEAVEING THIS STUPID SITE FOREVER” when I say Candiace had it coming… And comparisons to Porsha dragging Kenya and how I was on Kenya’s side…. there is very little acknowledgement of Candiace’s violence here either. Even her own mother wopped her with her pocket book. She hostile and that is why Ashley supports Monique.. Candiace threatened Ashley with a (butter?) knife when she was at a dinner in her house to the point where Chris AKA Brown Dick had to come out and restrain her. And once again tonight he had to reel her in and tell her to STFU.
Candiace did have it coming and all the rest of them knew it. If Chris keeps having to restrain her and tell her to behave herself how long is her marriage going to last? Chris doesn’t seem the type for all this drama.
Chris will defend Candiance regardless of her bad attitude & slum like vocabulary. She has been begging for the attack to occur. Her extremely rude comments & malicious behavior brought Mike Tyson moves out of Monique ! Her own mother clocked her in the mouth not surprised that anyone else has either. Don’t start none won’t be none.
Candiace definitely had it coming. She provoked, she was waving her hands and fingers. She grabbed Monique’s vest. Her own mama couldn’t refrain from hitting her. I think it would not have mattered if it was a steak knife vs a butter knife last season. She gets in people’s faces, in their space, she hits below the belt. I know someone like this…it’s fine if they are physical, verbally abusive, but if anyone dares to defend themselves they are the victim. Candiace is going to go after the wrong person one day. People these days will shoot, stab, or run over you. Chris better reel her in or run like hell. She’s dangerous!
Didn’t Candiance try and run her husband over?
I don’t recall that but it would not surprise me I can’t remember ANYTHING lately. In the open forum I talk about not being able to figure out how my gas tank opens. I think I have early onset dementia.
No acknowledgement what-so-ever, it’s all about poor Candiace.
I don’t understand why no one besides Ashley is holding Candiace accountability for her part in the dust-up with Monique, and her bad behaviour previously.
Robyn and Gizelle are hypocrites claiming to support Candiace when they know for a fact she’s and instigator.
I am really happy reading charges against Monique were dropped.
Yea, people shouldn’t go around putting hands on others. That said: people also, shouldn’t go around talking smack and getting in people’s face because everyone has their limit; and may pop-off.
Candiace should return to therapy working on her mother issues because that plays a major part in way she antagonize others.
*accountable,
*an instigator
Don’t watch the show normally. I have literally seen 45 minutes of it total (in 5 minute increments) before this season. So I’m completely shocked that so many people support such a heinously violent person attacking someone because of ‘words’. Really?! How do you justify that ‘words’ can hurt someone so much that wanting to murder someone is ok with you.
Ok, I do understand. Really I do. I’d like to murder 42% of the US population for continuing to support a literal monster of historical, biblical proportions and pretending his behavior is normal and acceptable. But I’m also an invisible private citizen who is not featured on a reality show. But if I wasn’t, I’m certain that I could maintain my composure while surrounded by 15 cameramen, boom operators, producers and assorted grips. This woman is a serious danger.
Sweetie, if you knew all the things she does IRL to my friends and her homophobic ways and how she mocks children’s photos on twitter and calls them Chucky… then you might understand. She could get run over by a train and I would not give a shit. My compassion is a limited commodity and she gets not a drop.
Producers- I beg you. Please get rid of the unwatchable Candice and Wendy. I hate to say this but Gizelle and her little buddy Robyn are also making the show difficult to stay loyal to. Keep Monique, Ashley and Karen. Dump the garbage. Every time I am “forced” to watch Candace and Wendy I fast-forward the recording.
Lol, I ff’d through Candiance’s scenes and Wendy’s scenes. Then I realized that I missed most of the show! lol.
I can’t stomach Robin and Juan’s contrived drama. and Gizelle is nauseating. So I ff’d through them too. It’s getting to the point where the show is unwatchable.
YES, Totally agree ,out Candice,Robin and that new one..
Am done till they bring new blood or scrap the hole franchise….
Is not worth my time …Love Monique and hope she pull herself up and everything gets better for her ,am praying for you girl….
I’m watching the episode now. Aside from the Candiace and Monique drama and fight, which is disturbing on so many levels, the other content is so sad. I feel for some that I didn’t think I would and am eye rolling at times during other scenes. I’m human but I felt uncomfortable at times watching this episode.
Candiace dead ass wrong.She like the school bully.
But let her mouth write a check her ass couldn’t cover. THEN when the victin Monique pops her she wants to play victim.
Girl have a seat.Probably behind your momma.
Gizzelle instigated it by pushing Monique .Monique probably thought Candiace pushed her.
“Let her mouth write a check her ass couldn’t cover.” ⬅️ That Part!!!
Probably behind your momma. Dead.
Candice is running with the victim card to the nth degree. Watching her insult Ashley’s marriage as her mother sat beside her & said nothing was gross. The apple didn’t fall far from the nasty tree in her case.
As for talking shit about marriages, she needs to watch out out before karma catches up to her. Chris looked like he wanted to be anywhere but at that filming. He has to know how awful she is and that he could for MUCH better.
I hated watching her crocodile tears and essentially manipulating the ladies to side with her against Monique. I CAN’T STAND CANDIACE. Team Monique all day, everyday.
I agree with everything you said Bushwick. I hate the fact that Candiace STILL hasn’t learned about popping off. When I was watching it I forgot her mother was sitting there cause she didn’t say anything. Candiace will always be reckless with her mouth. So Ashley has to be “paid” because she doesn’t agree, girl sit down.
Candiance needs to be gone. She acts like a teenager. If her mother was a friend if Gizelle’s ole Gizelle would be saying “The word on the street is that (mother’s name) can’t control that 15 year old daughter of hers. That daughter is trash. She gonna end up pregnant or somebody’s gonna knock all her teeth out because of that MOUTH of hers”. GIZELLE needs to be worried about her daughters’ Daddy down in Atlanta. The word on the street on ATL is he has lots of kids….
Isn’t Candiace number 3 on the list of wives for Chris? If so, obviously he doesn’t have a good picker..
I agree with all the anti-Candiace and pro-Monique comments. I want to punch Candiace every time I see her and hear her stupid conversation and hateful insults. I am so glad that Chris told her to shut up. At least someone is tired of hearing her crap.
Candiace’s hope that Monique go to jail (for up to 10 years lol) for snatching her wig is ludicrous. I understand that initially she tried to get money out of Monique, refused to meet with Monique’s counsel to work things out, and only filed a criminal complaint when that was unsuccessful. Again, I want to punch her.
The green-eyed ones are jealous of Monique — her wealth, her DH etc. They love seeing her fall and try to step on her when she’s down. Both of their personal lives are a joke.
And can someone please tell Ms Manners to stop talking with her mouth full of food? She does it all the time.
Omg, I so enjoyed reading your comment. Great read and laugh.
OMG: the coat dress, Robyn is wearing the SAME one. . .the same coat dress Erika and Rinna wore to Erika’s psychic night on RHOBH. Is it Chanel? Is it ugly? I’m befuddled by why everyone wears it.
Me too ! Monique ,( real marriage & real money. Ashley ( unhappy but real marriage & real money ) but most of all the grande dame Karen ( unbearable & excruciating to witness but real marriage & real money if she is back in Potomac proper. The rest can go. Robyn & Giselle too mean too broke & too fake ( Pastor & Juan despise them ) I do too. Wendy is all bark & no bite. Keep the 3 & recast before we have another franchise die on the v
vine.
I have a question. I’d need to scroll back up to see if I included the photo of Charisse but she was at the event. Did they show her? I am struggling to get photos for shows these days because my brand fucking new $1,700 laptop I had to buy in the middle of the pandemic online without trying it out is a POS and I generally cannot right click on it the mouse pad anymore. So I crossed my fingers and hoped there would be photos on the NBCu press site, and there was, and one of them had Charisse. Was she acknowledged on the episode? the NBCu photos are taken by photogs that are at the event (and we rarely get them at this stage of the game). I thought there would be Charisse drama but if their was I missed it.
I don’t remember seeing her and was surprised she was there when she was in a picture you posted.
Ok, I noticed someone who looked familiar but didn’t think about it until I read this. I went back and zoomed in on my iPad. At 48:36 mark in the episode, I think Charisse is standing next to Gizelle. She seems to be in the background behind others during dancing scenes and the editing seems to keep her hidden. Just my observation.
At some point I did see her sitting next to Ashley during the heated discussion between Ashley and Candiace. Not specifically her face but her pink lace dress so I knew it was her.
Had Monique shown up I’m sure Charisse would have loved to start some drama!
I thought I saw her as well. There was no talking about her however…..
She was there! But production did not acknowledge her 😉
I LOATHE CANDIACE!
All this episode did was reinforce my hatred of Candice and her perpetual victimhood…Yet she still wants to pop off the second anyone disagrees with her. She’s straight garbage and needs to removed from this franchise along with green-eyed bandits. I can’t stand those 3 women – broke, fake and conniving.
As much as I don’t like Michael Darby I give him credit for always addressing his “issues” with Ashley and having the balls do it on camera. I really give credit to Ashley for handling these issues with such maturity. For being the youngest on the show she definitely is by far the most logical and never backs down from open dialogue with Michael or the other ladies. I feel she’s really gown into her own and is a great addition to this show.
On another note, did anybody catch the shade Wendy threw at her mother-in-law by claiming she (the MIL) was “intimidated” by her mother? It might be safe to assume that both Wendy and her mother have a superiority complex and think they’re better than everyone else.
Totally Agree with you, and that wendy or werever her name is is so shady…give a lots of credit to Ashley and her husband is not easy to put your personal business on blast like that, just hope they continue to talk and go forward with their relationship, amI think they are cute and should make it work for the sake of their children, totally dislike the other except Monique I just live her gor her bravery and having the coxxdxx of accepting her mistake and letting the chihuahua get to her , never like that candice she was looking for that opportunity to get one of them to give her story line , poor thing , hope the judge see her for she is and throw her case on the garbage cause that’s what it is she could have resolve it like a real friend would do sitting down and hash the hole thing out… no but she chooses the public humiliation to have a story line shame on her…I been praying for Monique that God protect her going forward cause that Candice knew what she’s was doing daring her to slap her… am not watching the rest of the season and wold not watch the reunion ,preferred to read the blogs ..done with RHOP DONE..
BYE….
Am I the only one who thinks Karen’s marital problems are contrived? Her conversations with her husband regarding said “problems” seems super fake. I wonder if it’s simply a way for her to have a story line.
Am I the only one who saw that on the way to the sup and see baby Cameran was being held in the car and not in a car seat?? Wtf???
Came here to say this!!!! Wtf!!!!
Before I 4get let’s get this pink dress out of the way! Well OMG 😲 I can see one person wearing my same dress but 2! Now where I come from we call it a, “bargain basement sale at that point”!! Lol Back to the Sip & See I felt so bad for Eddie because his family didn’t show up. That is so sad. He said & so did Wendy that they haven’t seen his children. Thanks hearts breaking 💔.
As for the conversation of the day which was Monique well Ms Candiace needs to come down from the cross ✝️ because someone else needs the wood!!! Really she really has cojones to blame all of it on Monique. I confess that I didn’t like Monique at the start but on this one I understand her point of view. I don’t believe in physical altercation but Candiace had been looking for it for some time. Gizelle & Robyn are full of sh_t, they truly would love to see Monique do the perp walk! Gizelle is green with envy about all that is Monique: 1-loyal husband
2-multiple homes
3-very popular
4-successful & decent husband
5-successful business
The list goes on & on. I don’t know why they can’t be friends. Robyn is her lapdog. I must say that these two were my favorites in the beginning then they turned in to Satan’s Spawn! Candiace is a malignant narcissist that her Mother has enabled for years! She’s a b_tch that will talk about a woman’s reputation without flinching! That’s a dangerous game. Your tongue 👅 is a weapon worse than a knife 🔪. She’s been getting away with crap like this probably forever! Well where I come from there’s a saying, “the more you sturr the sh_t the more it smells “! Well it was time for Candiace to stop talking sh_t! Just my opinion!!! She pushed her luck. She needs to stop talking & also take responsibility! Yes Monique should never had touched her but these others should not be taking sides & being self-righteous & sanctimonious, they have no room! Peace my friends!🙏🕯
If you are talking about the pink blazer dress that Erika, Rinna and Robin all have, it’s $450 designer dress. There are many designer outfits that multiple people, including but not limited to housewives, purchase. Unless it is couture, there multiple sizes and quantities of the same dress. I’m not sure where you come from but I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that everyone there does not wear couture all the time.
