[birds chirping]
- Robyn. - Yeah.
There's some sort of strumpet out here
that is staking claims on Juan Dixon.
[laughing]
Um, young lady came forward
talking about she and Juan dated during COVID.
- Mm-hmm. - And she--
then she shows this, like, hotel receipt
- with his name on it. - Right, okay.
I was aware of the situation.
Mm-hmm.
- Before we filmed Season 7. - Right.
This young lady was so pressed to tell me
and to tell you, Gizelle.
- Yes. - That she DMed me.
- Right. - What I will say is,
yes, Juan was an idiot...
[sighs] ...and communicated
- with this woman on Instagram. - Mmm.
It was something we had to work through, you know.
- Okay. - And I wanna almost maybe
share the details for Patreon.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll give the details
- on the Patreon. - Yes.
So, go ahead on and subscribe.
Robyn, this week, you admitted on your podcast
that Juan had been involved with another woman.
You withhold the truth on the reality show
that you're on,
but then you sell it behind a paywall.
Chris was the sacrificial lamb
when you had skeletons in your own closet.
Well, we all have skeletons, I believe.
♪
Jeez, Louise.
Why so early in the mornin'?
I just don't understand.
♪
How are you?
Yes, yes, channeling my inner Britney today.
♪
Good mornin'.
All right, girly.
[sighs]
Feeling good. Feeling great.
I've got nothing to worry about.
I lived in my truth all season.
The Grande Dame.
- Oh, wow. - Andy, hi, darling.
How do you feel about Charrisse being here today?
I think Charrisse deserves to be here today.
You guys filmed with her enough.
God knows you put her everywhere you could.
Okay.
Hey!
Been a lot of questions about your marriage.
- Uh-huh, my health. - Yes.
- My best friend. - Yes.
What are you most looking forward
to clearing up today?
All the above. Check, check, check.
We got things to do.
- [knocking] - Come in!
- Andy! Andy! - Hey, bandits. - Muah.
The bandits are sharing a dressing room.
Yes.
Anything you're nervous about today?
- No. - No? You?
No. You're a married lady.
- I am. - Yes.
Will we be seeing Juan later today?
Oh, okay, I thought so.
You had a lotta crap thrown at you this season.
Yes.
- And so did Chris. - Yes.
Who is gonna be here later.
Yes. He hasn't had a chance to speak.
Okay.
[laughing]
It's a good to shirt to, you know,
- wear around the house. - Yes. I love it.
It's go time.
- Hey, ladies. Hi. - Hi.
- Yes. - Oh, sorry. Hello.
- I like this. - It's freezing.
- Gizelle, the first seat. - Okay.
Ashley in the middle. Wendy on the end.
What, Wendy? I'm so confused how-how Robyn--
Yeah. Like, just random.
Hi.
- Ready? - I'm ready.
- Ready for the fluff? - I'm ready for the fluff.
Hey, everybody.
I'm Andy Cohen joined by the lovely ladies
of "The Real Housewives of Potomac."
And tonight, we are breaking down
a wild seventh season that shook up the group
and shook up some tables.
As you can see, we've been transported back to Miami,
and I'm glad to see that none of you
are missing in action. So, let's get into it.
- Well, hello, Grande Dame. - Hi, Andy.
- How are you? - Fantastic.
Now, you are the Muhammad Ali of live shows.
I try. I pump myself up.
Uh, will you be the Muhammad Ali of this reunion?
I don't think it's necessary,
but, if necessary, I will.
- Okay. Uh, hey, Ashley. - Hi, Andy.
You are positively glowing.
Why, thank you.
And I can see because there's nothing
that I can't see, at this point.
[laughing] How is single life?
Interesting.
You know, we talked about why it didn't work
with you and Luke from "Summer House".
This has to do with maybe your ex
not being thrilled about the relationship?
It's my situation with Michael
- that affected Luke and I. - Yes, yes, I understand. Yes.
- Yeah. He-he was a trooper. - Okay.
But ultimately, yeah, it's just not--
Any new hockey players on the horizon?
- Maybe. - Okay.
- Hey, Gizelle. - Hi!
- How are you? - Good.
Speaking of dating Bravolebrities...
[laughing]
I hear that, uh,
you've been seen out and about
with one of our friends from "Winter House."
- I have. - Wow. Jason.
Yeah, Jason.
I gotta tell you something.
Yeah.
If I'm picturing the two of you together,
that's a very pretty picture.
- I agree. - Yeah.
- Andy, you missed this. - What? Tell me.
I said, "Did Luke introduce them?"
And Ashley gave the tea.
Oh, so, Gizelle said, "What's the deal with Jason?"
And I texted Luke.
So, then Luke texted Jason
and said, "Hey, Gizelle is interested,"
- and... - And then Jason DMed me
'cause he didn't have my number. Yeah.
- Right, right. - That's all she wrote.
Mmm.
- Hi, Robyn. - What's up, Andy?
Well, Robyn, hell has frozen over.
- Sure has. - You are a married woman.
Yes, second time around. [applause]
- Wow. - Thank you.
- Yay! - Incredible.
- Thank you. - How does it feel?
Like it did before.
- [laughing] - Okay.
No, it feels good.
I mean, we've been together forever,
but there is just something a little bit more,
um, like, legit about it.
Karen, you never thought you'd see it happen.
No, I didn't, but I'm happy it did.
Okay, very good.
- Ehh. - Uh, hi, Candiace.
Hello, Andy.
- Question. - Answer.
Can you tell me how to get to "Sesame Street"?
- [laughing] - Uh, well,
you would maybe have to ask Ashley,
- as she has the keys. - Oh, no.
Now, let me say this before the internet does.
Yes.
Because you're gonna get a lotta Cookie Monster,
side by side.
Oh, how do we know this was not by design?
Oh, okay, okay.
Is this a Cookie Monster homage?
- Yes, it is. - Okay, I like it.
- Hi, Wendy. - Hey, Andy.
- How is your health? - Oh, it's good.
- Yeah? - Yeah, it's much better.
Have you been drinking more water
or following your mom's red wine treatment plan?
What you gonna drink?
How about a nice glass of red wine?
Mom, like--
- um, a mix of both. - Yeah.
Uh, mom's red wine, some tequila, and some water.
Very good. Okay, that's a good combination.
Yes, healthy diet. Yep.
- Hi, Mia. - Hi.
The people wanna know.
Does a frog have a watertight asshole?
- [laughing] - Yes, it does.
It does. Okay.
You know what I wanna start with?
How do we feel about the seating tonight?
You've all kind of been marveling.
- Yeah. - Well, it was your design.
Well, no, I-I was a voice.
It is decided by all of the producers.
Okay.
And a lot of times, it has to do
with who is getting along.
If you're not getting along,
typically, we're not gonna put you
next to each other. Now, let me say this.
This is a complicated group
because there a lot of people who have issues.
It is. Lots of conflict, yeah.
- Okay. - Problematic. - So, it's a puzzle.
- Yeah. - Okay.
- Okay? - Understood.
Well, this season, Ashley, you faced the challenges
of a very public split,
but while your friends were supportive
of your new lease on life,
they weren't quite as willing to cosign
your unconventional living situation.
Take a look.
I just want you to know that I shared with Robyn
that you and Michael are getting a divorce.
And it's true.
I've been looking a lot for a home.
We are creating an LLC.
The house is gonna be in the name of the LLC.
Man, what kind of life are you living?
Are you getting a divorce or, like,
- creating a business? - Uncle Lump don't play. - No, he don't.
I heard that you was down to the restaurant.
I was with a hockey player?
You're laughing. You're turning red!
[laughing]
Ashley doesn't need old balls.
She deserves young, tight ones.
What's wrong with old balls?
This is my home.
We did end up buying the house together.
Buying a house together, at this point,
would probably not be the best next step.
My mortgage is $13,000.
As long as Michael helps me,
the mortgage will be paid for, so...
Okay. Um, so, first of all,
congratulations on the new house.
How does it feel to be out of the penthouse?
Amazing.
How far is it from where you lived with Michael?
Seven minutes.
- Seven minutes. - Yes.
Does Michael have a key to the house?
He does, for my kids. Just in case, like,
if something happens with my nanny
or something like that, he has a key.
I have a key to his house, too.
If my ex had a key to my house,
- and I had a visitor-- - I'm sorry.
- A hockey player. - I'd be freaked out.
We have some stipulations in place
that he cannot just pop up. Surprise visits are a no-go.
We have to give each other at least an hour's notice,
if we wanna come see the kids.
The man got a key. He can roll up in there.
I mean, an hour?
An hour's notice is not really a lotta time
to put your clothes on and to, you know,
have the guy slip out the back door. I mean.
Guys, he asks permission.
- It's not a guarantee. - Oh.
You know, getting back to you and Luke
from "Summer House,"
and you said-- it sounded like
there were some pretty serious boundary issues
between Michael and your relationship with Luke.
Um, there was one incident.
It was a long weekend,
and Michael was supposed to have my children
until Monday.
He dropped my children off at the house on Sunday night,
and Luke was there,
so Luke had to leave immediately
and get on a train to go back to New York.
Why did Luke have to leave?
Because my children were there.
Is someone you're dating
not allowed to be around the kids?
It's the time.
You know, like, I've only-- I'd only been talking to him
- for a month, at that point. - It's too soon.
- Yeah. - That's good.
- Right. - Yeah, good point.
- Yeah, that's good. - That's a good point.
So, yeah, out of suspect for Michael and my kids,
you know.
What advice did Luke give you about Michael, if any?
That I need to reinforce stricter boundaries.
- Hmm. - Okay. - We agree.
Oh, yeah. No, Luke had some really wise words.
- I'm sure. - He did. - We agree with Luke.
Do you think there's a chance for the two of you
in the future, you and Luke?
- Um, I don't know. - They flinged it up.
I started falling in love with the guy. I did.
- [gasps] - Oh! - You did?
- I did. - Really? - Huh?
- Did you? - Yeah.
- Oh, no. - I mean, and that's fair.
Like, after getting divorced,
I think the first relationship can probably be the hardest.
- Yes. - Right.
Where you have consistent communication,
you have someone being affectionate,
all those things that I haven't had for so long.
Young balls.
- [laughing] - Those.
- Tight ones. - That's what she said.
- That was my manifestation. - Yes.
I'm quoting her.
- Oh, young balls. - I'm quoting what she said.
- Yes. - Yeah.
How were those? Oh, never mind.
- Don't answer that question. - Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, out of respect for Luke, I'm not gonna.
Yes, don't answer that.
I-I have gotta wonder, Ashley.
No disrespect to Michael, but if I was married to you,
we break up,
you are Tik Tokin' around,
and you look as great as you do,
and then you start dating Luke,
former hockey player, model,
- I would feel impotent. - Nah.
- Ahh! - I mean, you know,
I would feel a certain way.
Michael has it made, okay?
Well, I mean, is that hard for him?
Oh, I would imagine yes,
- but he's also dating. - Nah.
And have you met any of the women that he's seeing?
- Uh-uh. - No.
When is the divorce? When is the divorce?
- Do you have a date? - I can file in February.
- Yeah. - Okay, now,
what is the status of the prenup?
Did you-- will you get half of what he has?
- [sighs] - No, man.
It-it really just did not work out in my favor.
Coming up...
Instead of talking about what's happening
with her personal life,
she would rather malign
and (BLEEP) with people's families.
Your dwindling uterus was waiting for you
to put it on TV.
Now, what is the status of the prenup?
Will you get half of what he has?
- [sighs] - No, man.
It-it really just did not work out in my favor.
Wow.
Essentially, everything that Michael
came into the marriage with is his.
The money that Michael made
that he then put into other projects later
is all considered his
because of the source of the money.
Right? So, if he made that money
prior to us getting married,
and he invested that into later projects,
all the money from those projects that
he later invested in is still his.
Do you know how much he is worth,
and where his money is, and how much money he has?
No.
So, no lump sum payment?
No idea of what alimony might look like?
According to the prenup, I'm not allowed to get alimony.
- Wow. - You can't alimony?
Damn, Ashley, why you sign that?
- I-I know, guys, okay. - Why did you sign that?
Yeah, yeah.
- I signed it all away. - That was horrible.
Well, Ashley, can you-can you
have your lawyer look at it?
The money that's in the marriage--
that he made during the marriage that was not invested,
- can you touch that? - Right.
Because I believe you can.
- Perhaps. - Yeah, but she don't even know
how much that is.
- I know. - She has no idea.
I didn't get into the nitty gritty of all that
simply because my prenup was pretty ironclad.
Are you coming out of this
getting anything from him outside of child support?
Yes, yes.
- And a house. - What?
I-- yes, I get my house.
I also have some language in my separation
and divorce agreement about some safety nets
in case I have some financial difficulties.
So, like, spousal support.
Essentially.
Porsha from Los Angeles said, "Ashley,
I don't buy that you and Michael are divorcing
because he wants to have threesomes,
- and you don't." - It's true.
You've looked the other way for years.
Just admit it's because the prenup is up.
The babies are out, and it's time to secure the bag.
- Oh, my gosh. - What do you wanna say to Porsha?
Oh, Porsha. Porsha Williams?
Uh, I appreciate your knowledge of my life.
Um, I just-- I really do want monogamy,
and I want to set that example for my kids.
Mia, you clearly don't share that commitment to monogamy.
[laughter] How do you-how do you, uh--
Andy is on a roll today.
How do you, uh-- I'm just gettin' started.
What's the question?
Well, the question is, her mind changed
- when she had kids. - No.
So, things did change, for sure.
Why? Because we have all these kids
running around the house, so we're not,
like, as, you know-- you know, open.
- Right. - Um, but one of the things
that I knew is that how I got my husband,
I had to keep doing those things to keep my husband,
- right? - Oh.
- Interesting, all right. - Like, it's not fair for him
- for me to change. - Okay.
That's very fair, and that's why I'm leaving the marriage.
That calls-- that results in a divorce.
Fair.
Nancy from Maryland said, "Ashley, a few seasons ago,
you called Candiace the least accomplished on the cast."
Um, to live as his black trophy.
You are the least accomplished person on this couch.
- Am I? Am I? - You are.
"This season, she has a flourishing music career,
uh, while you've continued to tell us
you cannot pay for your own house
or expenses without Michael.
Do you still think she's the least accomplished,
or is that you?"
Oh, that's mean.
Oh, sorry, it doesn't hurt my feelings,
- but I will say-- - I didn't--
- Well, sorry, I reacted to it. - It's okay, guys.
Um, I will say that I apologize to Candiace
for saying that,
and I am an accomplished woman,
and no one is going to detract or make me feel less than
in any capacity. So, nice try.
I-- can I say, I think it's funny
that when I first joined this group,
and I was living in a home
that my mother helped me pay for,
those who were here had a lot to say
about the way that my family took care of me,
and you were one of those people.
When your mom is still taking care of--
No, I do not! No, I do not!
I'm in your mama's house, right now!
You-you-you will not talk about my mother in my home!
Do-do not-- do not ruin your mama's--
Do not talk about my mother!
Don't-don't ruin your mama's table!
You will not talk about--
- You better get that ----ing knife, girl!
You will not discuss my mother in my home!
And I stand by the fact that I think,
as an adult, at some point in time,
you do need to be responsible for yourself.
- I had a spouse. - And you are not.
Your name was not on that home.
But could you have gotten that house without Michael?
I could have gotten another home.
- But not that one. - That's true, yeah.
But the home that you have that's probably,
- what, about $2 million-- - More.
You could not have afforded on your own.
True.
Okay, that's all I'm saying.
It's obviously a very sensitive topic
for you still, and that's--
Well, I was maligned incessantly for seasons
because of my generational wealth.
And if you are able to attain the decorations
that he put in these papers to distract you,
you, I pray, will have that for your children,
for the blessings that my family has bestowed upon me.
Darling, you best believe that my children,
when they are 30 years old,
will have a home in their own name.
- That's all, that's all. - Best believe.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Uh, so, wrapping this up,
your divorce, you're filing in February.
Yes. [sighs]
And will you keep his last name?
For my children, yes.
- Yeah. - Yes, we are the Darbys.
I did mean to mention I know that I had
a very emotional, uh, expression
about what was going on with Michael
and-and our parenting struggles
that we were having at the time--
Michael is like, "I want to spend time with Dean,"
and I said, "That's fine.
Like, you can do it when we come back."
He started yelling, and Dean starts--
Dean has been saying, "Stop!"
But I do want to clarify Michael is a great father,
and we are really learning how to co-parent
our kids healthily,
so I just want that to be put out there because--
That's the most important thing.
- Yeah. - Yes.
Yeah, and-and we're getting into a good place with that.
- Good. - Oh, good.
There you go. All right.
Thank you, Ashley.
Thanks, Andy. [sighs]
Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.
- [laughing] - Wait a minute.
All of us or just Wendy?
- Uh, no. - Just me?
I think it's just you, yeah.
Yeah.
What did you say?
Oh.
Where'd my phone go?
I got-- I got some other guys to talk to.
You have other fish to fry.
Yeah, I started talking to someone.
Yes, fish fry. Oh!
Well, maybe you should just get a divorce first.
- [laughing]
- I am. - Let's just do that first.
Coming up...
You were renting that huge house in Potomac.
Mm-hmm.
And you had to give it up.
We had to. There's no money coming in.
We are literally living off of our savings.
Wow.
Now, what is the status of the prenup?
Let's roll!
Adjust yourself, please.
You know what?
At this point, just let the nipples out.
We're back chatting with the Real Housewives of Potomac.
- [laughing] - Whew.
Mia, this past year,
you dealt with a mysterious health scare,
and while you looked for answers,
the other ladies found plenty to question.
Watch this.
So, I have moved to Potomac.
Gordon and I decided to rent for the time being.
I have spent somewhere north of $65,000.
You still haven't heard anything yet?
It's a disease.
I have a few lumps that have appeared inside of my body.
What is this activity on social media that she's doing,
talking about her health,
but it was very vague?
I thought she said explicitly that she had cancer already.
This is what cancer, no cancer looks like?
As your friend, it seems extremely like,
"Look at me. Look at me. I need attention."
(BLEEP) you!
Hi. Hello. How are you?
Gordon and I started developing
The Joint Chiropractic in 2013.
It's not just all our cash.
We do bring on personal and friends.
Since we did have a business deal
that did fall through,
this particular location has got to work.
So, sarcoidosis can be just a skin disease,
or it can be something systemic,
meaning involving other organ systems,
but they specifically mentioned that features of that
are not seen in this biopsy.
- So, you had some very re-- - That's good news, right?
- Yeah. - Yes, it's very reassuring.
The whole perspective of life has changed for me
when someone calls and tells you,
you may be dying really soon.
That's what you heard.
Yeah, that's how you interpreted what was said.
Taking us on that emotional ride with you,
I'm very happy to go,
but don't tell me that eventually
I'm-I'm on the wrong train.
- Mmm. - Okay.
Well, Mia, look, we have to start out saying--
- Yeah. - I'm so happy to hear
that you are healthy and cancer-free.
- Thank you. - Yes.
Yes, same, thank you.
Um, tell me more about the diagnosis.
It turns out it was, like, a rash?
- Okay. - So...
there's several different things going on.
So, I have a-a large lymph node,
and then I had a raised lump on my rear
that we did biopsy,
and we found out that that's what we thought
was-was sarcoidosis,
but then I had to go and get chest x-rays
to make sure it didn't spread to my chest,
um, and then-- sorry.
So, that last appointment that you had on--
- that was on the show-- - Mm-hmm.
Where you went to the doctor,
and they said you were cleared of--
that was the sarcoi-sarcoidosis?
Yes, mm-hmm.
- So, you don't have that. - I don't have that, yes.
- Okay. - No.
Praise the Lord.
So, what were you diagnosed with?
So, here's the thing, I actually am still under care,
and I am actually on medication.
Um, we did find out that I do have
tissue growing in my reproductive organs,
and so I am on medication for it
- to help diminish it... - Wow.
...so I don't have to get it surgically removed.
Mmm.
It would be, like, a full-on hysterectomy.
So, when I saw you were going through that,
I haven't been able to reach out to Gizelle
because I understand,
like, the pain of, like, not even wanting to
talk about it anymore because I don't want anybody
to take my female organs.
Like, I wanna keep 'em even though I don't wanna
have any more kids.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
All right.
There's been a lot of speculation online
that maybe it was your body rejecting fillers or implants.
Mm-hmm.
Or augmentation that you've done.
Yeah.
I get my Botox every four weeks.
- Okay. - I get fillers.
I have my lips. I have fuller boobs.
I've had a tummy tuck. I had abdominoplasty.
I had my ass done.
I mean, I can continue to go on.
Yeah.
Did that come up?
Breast implant illness is, like, the number one thing
- that I hear. - Right.
It did.
I remember Yolanda got rid of her implants.
She felt like her body was rejecting it.
- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.
Was that a conversation?
It was a conversation because, actually,
sarcoidosis is caused by that.
- Oh. - So, if-if I had actually
been diagnosed with sarcoidosis,
we probably would have resulted as a foreign object
being entered my body, at some point,
that my body is trying to reject.
- Oh, wow. - Okay.
All right, um, Valerie from England said,
- "Wendy, you are a hypocrite." - Yes.
"You were caught on a hot mic saying you thought
Mia was a liar."
Oh, child. [laughing]
"Right after you scolded Robyn about doing the same."
You called her a liar.
I never have called her a liar.
She got caught in a lie, not being a liar.
"Why try and act like you're better than
everyone else?"
So, you have to own that that was--
- Make that make sense. - Oh, I did.
I did in real time. I absolutely owned it.
I tweeted something like a funny, like, GIF
or something like that.
But let's be clear.
What I was talking to Robyn about--
- Yes. - I was saying to her
the way in which you and Gizelle came at her, like,
I thought she had cancer,
but I gave her the benefit of a doubt.
I-I don't--
No, you-you specifically said, "We all know she is lying."
I know, but you called her a liar.
I-I believed that you were lying.
Hmm. [laughing]
- Right. - But I-I owned it.
But why--
But then if that's how you believe,
- why not say it to my face? - Why would I tell--
Why smile in my face and then a moment you turn around,
be a snake that you are
and say that you think I'm lying?
You called her a liar.
I believed that you were lying.
Hmm. [laughing]
- Right. - But I-I owned it.
But why--
But then if that's how you believe,
why not say it to my face?
Why smile in my face and then a moment you turn around,
be a snake that you are and say that you think I'm lying?
If you're seeing a dermatologist,
that's more so skin related, but if you're talking about,
like, cancer, if you're-- that's an oncologist.
I would have loved to bring you guys to the hospital.
I would have loved to have my opportunist husband video me
while I was getting wheeled on a damn bed
to show the world that I'm not lying.
I'm sorry.
My hus-- my husband was really there.
He was there with me at 5 o'clock in the morning.
Maybe your next husband will do that for you.
- I'm sorry-- lessons. - Maybe he will.
And will you be happy then? Okay.
Next question, Andy.
So, Mia, you recently posted that all of your businesses
were taken away from you and G by his brothers.
Um, I thought you were the CEO.
We own 14 Joint Chiropractic locations
over four different states.
I have taken more of a leadership role
and being the boss CEO in charge.
Yes.
So, how can someone take a business away from the CEO?
[laughing]
No, so, when people don't understand-- yeah.
His brother is part owner of the company,
and any time you have yourself and a partner
on the bank account,
either one of us can take either party off,
without the other person's consent.
Okay.
So, he took you off the bank account?
- I don't think so. - Uh-uh.
I don't think that's true.
I don't think-- that's not true.
I don't think that's right.
- So, it's absolutely true. - No.
Yeah, it's absolutely true.
So, he revoked access because they had a meeting,
a board meeting, and we voted in a third member,
- and so the third member-- - Who is on the board?
Who all is on the board?
There's several different members on the board.
Okay, okay.
So, we-we used to have two managing members,
- and now we have three. - Okay.
- Gordon is still one of them. - Okay.
But the other two, so, if you do the math,
two against one, they voted him out
to no longer have a day to day say
on the day to day operations of the business.
They now can do what they want to do
- with the company. - Okay.
- Why did they vote him out? - For numerous of reasons.
So, what we were doing, we're actually partnered with
a really big partner in Northern Virginia.
- Okay. - And he's a heavy hitter,
so they were afraid
that we were going to be pushing them out,
which is not the case,
because our purpose for our company
is for generational wealth, right? Our--
Okay, I have a question, Andy.
- I have many questions. - I've got one, too.
You said that you were the CEO, right?
Mm-hmm.
So, you were on the board, right?
On the board.
Yes, I am one of the-the members.
Okay, so, you-- and you also said
you own 40% of the company, correct?
So, then but-- so then-- but that--
- No, I own more than that. - I'm confused.
Okay, so, you own more than that.
So, when they kicked Gordon out--
- Mm-hmm. - You had the--
They can't take your portion of the company, correct?
Yes, they can. Yeah.
So, why are you saying that you've lost everything?
No. So, no. So, when you have--
okay, on the operating agreement--
Okay.
We have management, and we have members,
two different totally things.
So, the managing members actually control
the rest of the group. We actually vote.
So, at that point, I am just a vote.
It doesn't matter about the percentage.
But there are three people on the board?
Plus you, so it's four?
So, no, there's a total of eight, and there's--
There's eight.
There's a total of eight. [laughing]
- Three managing members. - Yeah.
Okay, just about five minutes ago,
- there were three. - No.
All right. So, you have board
and you have managing members, right?
- No, so, okay. - I'm keeping up.
Okay.
I can't laugh. This is tight.
- You gotta carry the one. - What is happening? Okay.
You gotta carry the one. You gotta carry the one.
- You add it. Add it. - Okay.
There's managing members of any entity, you guys.
- Okay. - They have seniority.
So, how many people are on the board?
- There's eight. - Eight.
I thought she was gonna say, "Seven."
- Eight? - Yes.
Three managing members.
If she said, "Seven," I was gonna die.
There are three managing members on the board.
The five.
You know, I'm not gonna have this conversation
with this group of girls, if you're gonna sit here
and-and, like, laugh 'cause it's not----ing funny.
No, we're just-- I don't think
- they think it's funny. - We're trying to understand.
I think they're trying to figure it out.
No, we're-we're confused.
No, seriously, if you don't understand business,
you don't understand business.
- It's on you. - Okay, wait.
Right.
So, did the eight, or it was the three--
So, it's eight total.
- Okay, okay. - Yes, we got it.
At this point, next question.
- So, well-- - I'm not gonna play this game.
- It's not----ing funny. - No, no, no.
- Well, here's the question. - So, next question.
What is the-- tell me, what is the current status?
I still own my stake. So...
But you still are managing partner,
- so you are still-- you're-- - So, if the business sells,
we get our percentage of ownership.
So, we will get a return on our investment,
and so that's where we're leaning towards.
We need to go ahead and just sell out of the company
- 'cause clearly things-- - Hmm.
We can't get along any longer.
So, did the brothers argue about how the money
was being spent?
- Was that the-- - Hmm.
No, that wasn't it at all.
Because it looked very much like
a little bit of embezzlement, kind of,
like there was money
that you guys were taking from the company,
and that was paying for the house,
that was paying for renovation,
and then that you-you were cut off from that bank account.
Mm-hmm.
So, it-it looked a little embezzling but--
Why would I go public, if we were stealing money?
Like, come on, now.
I will probably keep that quiet.
- [laughing] - But to get in front of it.
But to-to get in front of it a bit,
- but-but you just explained it. - Yeah.
I-I kinda understand a little bit.
Yeah.
So, you recently posted on social media
that you're no longer living in Potomac
- due to unforeseen circumstances. - Yeah.
- Were these the circumstances? - Yeah.
So, I was also working as marketing director
inside of our company, so, that way,
I'm able to pull a salary. So, I no longer--
I don't work the company, so there's no money coming in.
Okay.
We are literally living off of our savings.
Wow.
And then, of course, money from, you know,
anything else that I have coming in now.
So, you were renting that huge house in Potomac.
- Mm-hmm. - And you had to give it up.
Mm-hmm.
And now, where are you living?
We were actually renting several properties.
We had a rental house in Charlotte,
we also had a rental condo in Charlotte,
and we had the rental house here,
and that's just--
Why were you renting properties in Charlotte?
Because we are so bicoastal.
I work across the East Coast.
Bicoastal?
Charlotte and-and Maryland are on the same coast.
Like, well, you know, same thing but we also go
to the East Coast, the West Coast, as well.
Okay.
Did you get rid of your rental properties in Charlotte?
- We had to. - Yeah.
- There's no income coming in. - Oh, I understand.
Right, I hope you got rid of them.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I can't live my $40,000 a month income anymore.
Right.
So, where are you living now?
So, we have a penthouse, um, that we are renting in, uh,
North Bethesda.
You know, it's interesting.
Um, as things are happening to you,
you share on social media, and then I-I feel like
a lot of the rest of the cast is different.
Um, Gizelle, you especially, you know,
you-you're a little more private with what's happening.
What do you think about Mia's openness?
Um, at first, I thought it was weird,
but now I think she's smart.
Like, she's trying to get ahead of things.
So, um, you know, I-I think Mia wants to
tell her own story, to answer your question.
Anything you would do differently,
as you look back on this season?
Uh-uh. No.
- Okay. - No, just I've been me.
I can't change me. So, I mean...
All right. We're gonna leave it there.
Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.
Coming up...
I'm apologizing to you,
and I will apologize to him for that term.
- Okay, I-- - 'Cause he didn't--
I didn't need to say that.
She puts a little sauce on things sometimes.
You pour a little sauce on it.
No, no, no, not needed.
Take the apology and shove it up your ass, okay?
- Oh. - Okay, not accepted.
You called her a liar.
♪
Oh, hi.
- Is that your daughter? - Yeah, Grace.
[laughing]
- Oh, she's driving? - Yes.
Oh, no, eyes on the road.
No FaceTimes while you're driving.
All right. Daddy Andy has spoken.
I'm your daddy.
I thought it would be a weird time to tell you.
I'm sorry.
Bye. Love you.
No, and I would like to.
[laughing]
- That would be an HR issue. - Oh, true.
- Yeah. - Four, three...
We are back with "The Real Housewives of Potomac Reunion."
Candiace, you started this season with frozen eggs
and ended with a red hot music career,
but an allegation from Gizelle brought you back down to earth.
And heads up, this clip contains unseen footage,
so let's all watch.
- Ooh. - Oh.
Oh.
- We are freezing eggs. - Yes, embryos.
My life is full of things.
My cup is running over, honey.
Now, you can take it out.
[sighs]
I don't love your work-life balance,
and I don't know what time you're coming home.
If they book a----ing event for 500 people,
guess who has to be there.
You cuss at me one more time...
Okay.
You know, Chris slides into my DMs, too.
I didn't like what he did to me at the reunion.
I don't wanna be in a closed room
with a married man.
But you want to say that the man who would
lay his coat over a puddle for you to walk over
- made you feel comfortable. - One hundred percent.
Where is Eric?
Gizelle brought it up to me that night,
and I'm like, I don't think it's a big deal.
Gizelle is dead to me.
I want to get to a better place with you.
Do you think Gizelle and Chris should have a conversation?
I think that now that we have talked,
he would be open to having a conversation.
Oh, he wanted you and I to talk first.
- Yes. - Okay, yes.
Candiace did say, in Mexico,
that Chris wanted to talk to me.
Been here all night. Been here for hours.
I'm extremely confused about Chris Bassett,
because we have wrapped season seven of Potomac.
Fifteen minutes after cameras went down,
guess what I got in my DMs, a message from Chris Bassett.
"I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to talk this season.
"If I truly made you feel uncomfortable,
"for that I am sorry, but I'll be honest.
"I've been very angry about how this has played out
"and some of the words that have been used,
and that is why I have been hesitant."
He said, "If I made you feel uncomfortable,
I am sorry."
You've admitted it, and you've apologized,
and we're moving on.
I don't know if that's an admission.
- Absolutely not. - I think he said,
- "If I made you--" - Yes.
"Feel uncomfortable, then I am sorry."
I don't know if that's an admission
that he did make you feel uncomfortable.
Although, you have said that he made you feel uncomfortable.
Right. So, he's saying,
"If I made you feel uncomfortable,
I'm sorry."
- Okay. - Which I appreciated
- and was done with it. - Okay.
I think it's important to note that
that message was sent before we saw
all of the disgustingly egregious things
that she added to this story,
the 15 different versions
that she told to whomever would listen.
What did I say that was different?
You don't remember all the stories you told?
What did I say that was different?
So, Chris is a sneaky link.
- He was talking to someone-- - Complaining about his wife--
- In private-- - So he was letting me know
he's not happy, okay?
Maybe I was supposed to say, "Oh, I can make ya happy."
He's a sneaky link.
You're used to men trying to get with you,
and you thought Chris was trying to see if you were with it.
Many a married man have tried me,
and I felt like it was a situation
in which he was trying to see if I was with it.
And I apologized for that.
To whom did you apologize and when?
I will-- I'm-- I will apologize to you,
and I will apologize to him for saying that.
- You did, or you will? - I-I'm apologizing to you.
- When? - Right now,
and I will apologize to him for that term,
- 'cause he didn't-- - Okay, I--
I didn't need to say that.
She puts a little sauce on things sometimes.
- You pour a little sauce on it. - No, no, no, not needed.
- She did. She did. - This is-this is the most--
- It's the facts. - Incredible gaslighting--
- I feel like I-I-- no. - 'Cause this was rooted
in disingenuous behavior.
Mnh-mnh.
- Nothing about this-- - So, you think--
- Was rooted in truth. - You think she never,
- in fact, felt uncomfortable. - No, no, no.
- No. - Oh.
- She literally got-- - I feel like both of us--
- She left the reunion. - Yes,
- and you told me this. - We got in the SUV.
And the first thing she said to me--
- Yes. - Was, "Chris asked me to have
a private conversation in my bedroom--"
And you told me that.
And I did not feel comfortable."
- Period. - That's not false.
That was discussed with him, as well.
- Okay, well, let's-- - And the answer
- to that question-- - That was never the issue.
- So, the issue is how-- - So, Andy--
That she talked about it on camera.
That she-that she waited until it was appropriate for her
- to earn her check. - Got it.
And now, because the question
has been posed to the table,
you all of a sudden want to slide in an apology?
No, I'm not sliding it in. He asked me--
Please take the apology and shove it up your ass, okay?
- Oh. - Okay, not accepted.
- Yes. - You think
- it'll look good up there? - Shove it up there.
So, what about him saying I asked him to go to the room?
That's a lie.
You don't remember any part of what happened
- in the room. - That's not true.
I think he was complaining about Candiace.
I don't even know.
And even if he did ask
- to go to the room-- - That's not true.
Let's-let's just play semantics.
He did ask, "Can we go talk in your room?"
- For sure. - When you walked into the room,
- and you saw-- - So, why did he lie about it?
Why did he lie about it?
Let's just play semantics.
He did ask, "Can we go talk in your room?"
- For sure. - When you walked into the room,
- and you saw-- - So, why did he lie about it?
Why did he lie about it?
- He didn't lie. - Yes, he did. He--
- That is not his recollection. - He is gonna be out.
- He-he sat there-- - He is going to be out here--
He's going to be able to speak for himself.
- I don't wanna speak for him. - And he'll speak for himself.
I wanna switch gears.
So, Candiace,
how is your journey to having children going?
So, we were able to go with a successful egg retrieval,
and we have six embryos.
- Aww, congratulations. - Yay.
- Wow, that's great. - Yes.
- That's great. - Oh, that's awesome.
So, what do you do with embryos?
- Then you implant them? - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Okay.
You're gonna have six kids.
- That's great. - Congratulations.
Get your square.
- Tissue, tissue, tissue. - Okay, here.
- Okay, perfect. - I could have six.
- If you wanted. - Oh, you--
She could have six babies, if she wanted.
Yeah, no, I understand how it works.
- Well, it's-- - I know.
- [laughing] - Of course you do, Andy.
He knows. I'm sorry.
That's the one thing I do understand.
Okay, let's clear the air.
Veronica from Florida said, "Candiace,
"I'm all for you defending your husband,
"but you kept saying Gizelle accused him of sexual assault,
"which she never did.
"That, in itself, is dangerous to throw around.
- Do you think--" - She accused him
of sexual assault when she said--
No, I didn't.
When she said that Ashley's friend
was grabbed on the ass by him.
We all thought that's what Ashley said.
My girlfriend said that Chris propositioned her at the bar,
was feeling her butt.
I heard side and butt.
Or somethin', he slid his hand up her leg
and touched her butt.
I heard Chris was out here giving, like, sexy eyes
and grabbing booties.
But I said he made me uncomfortable.
Can we agree, though, that it probably
is not the best idea for a married man
to be in a hotel room with a single woman?
- At all. - I don't think--
I don't think we should miss that message.
- So-so, although-- - You know what?
No. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
Can I say something about that?
No, no, no.
Because this was my first reaction,
and I-- and maybe it's 'cause I'm a gay guy,
and I totally don't understand, honestly.
To me, it seemed like a moment
from the Victorian era or something
that a man and a woman,
two responsible adults,
can't go into a room together alone
- to have a conversation? - And have a conversation.
I mean, as a viewer, okay,
it seemed like you had
a really nice relationship with Chris.
Were you worried about damaging his reputation?
- No. That's her MO. - Again-again, if--
Damage every man's reputation
because she is mad
- that her sh-- stinks. - Okay.
Well, Gizelle, we got a lot of questions about--
- I-- can I say something? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, everybody wants to be like, oh, my gosh,
"Gizelle just comes for families
and husbands and blah-blah-blah."
- Yeah. - You do.
When you've had a whole lot to say about Juan.
- I feel like-- - Girl, don't point the fingers.
Own your own stuff.
- I-I-I feel like-- - You are the ringleader--
- I-- and you have had-- - Of lying--
- A whole lot to say-- - And maligning husbands.
About Michael Darby.
We all have conversations about whatever
- is going on about stuff. - No, this is not
an All Lives Matter moment. You are the culprit.
Let me go back to the beginning.
Gizelle, the-the criticism was that you waited
- until cameras were up. - Mm-hmm.
And this could have been dealt with before.
- Again-- - Were you using it as ammo
- against her, a storyline? - No. I liked Candiace,
- at the time. - Right.
I wasn't gonna ever say anything.
- Okay, why did you? - And it wasn't
until Ashley was gettin' DMs from him
that she felt like was inappropriate,
and all of that was happening.
I just was like wait a minute.
I feel that this is something Candiace should know.
I think we would all be able,
including the viewers,
to give Gizelle the benefit of the doubt
to say that that's true.
However, there has now become a clear pattern
of this happening time and time again
- with people's husbands. - Oh, my God.
Where you have a problem,
but the timing always coincidentally happens
when the camera starts rolling.
And might I also add
that I had seen this woman a few times from--
This woman being Gizelle?
- That one. - Okay.
From the time that we left the reunion--
- Okay. - To the time that we sat
- in that dance studio. - Okay.
- She has my phone number. - I-I-I didn't see you.
You were at my album release,
- dancing, and supporting me-- - Oh, I did.
- and singing. - Okay.
So, you wanted me to tell you then,
as you're singing on a stage?
Oh, so, it's not okay to tell me then,
- but it's okay to sit-- - Candiace, again--
On national mother----ing television and tell me.
I wasn't gonna tell you at all.
You're not smart.
Yeah, I kinda am.
Instead of talking about her uterus
and what's happening with her personal life,
she would rather malign
and (BLEEP) with people's families,
and you use this show to lie on people
because you have nothing else going on.
How did I lie on Chris?
Your dwindling uterus was waiting for you
to put it on TV.
Next time, on part two
of "The Real Housewives of Potomac Reunion."
If there was a group called The Robyns,
what would they be?
- Boring. - Oh, boy.
- (BLEEP) you forever. - ...that you----ed Peter--
- I want you to understand that. - And that's the real story
- why you were upset. - What?
Wanna talk about my little receipt
of you giving Peter the cookie?
You're----ing for lobsters.
- I'm not denying it. - Oh, my God.
For, like, hours, I was in surgery,
and so my kids were, like, terrified,
but I don't wanna--
Sending that group chat to everybody,
talking about my house is in foreclosure
when your family business is all in a shambles.
You know I got some receipts in here.
So do I. Pandora's box here.
Oh, she's got a bedazzled box.
And later, unseen footage
from my one-on-one interview with Robyn.
Do you get tired
of publicly defending him all the time?
Um...
I heard from Candiace earlier today.
She feels betrayed by you.
What does what I'm going through
have to do with her and Chris?
