- Previously, this season,
on The Real Housewives of Potomac.
[cheering]
* and get that booty tight *
- Open up, Gizelle. - I'm wide open.
[laughing]
- Who at the table swallows?
- What?!
- I'm about to throw up.
I'm not doing that. [laughing]
- Hello.
My name is Nneka Ihim.
Recently closed on a beautiful home in Potomac.
- What are these two?
- My future baby rooms. - Future, okay.
- Yeah. - I like.
What did Karen have to say about all of this?
- Oh, she tried me, honey.
- Did she? - Mm-hmm.
- This part is considered North Potomac.
- No, this part is Potomac.
- But it's--
this part is Potomac, if you say it is.
- Honey, I can't make up the maps.
- Juan and the girl in Canada...
- Young lady came forward, and she shows this, like,
hotel receipt with his name on it.
- That's a (BLEEP) Juan moment.
- Just bring it on.
I don't give a (BLEEP) anymore.
She, multiple times, told people
that I lied on her husband in order to cover up for mine.
Do you know that is defamation?
- Robyn is such a victim. - So, I'm telling you.
- Last year, you were like,
"Yeah, getting a divorce!"
I think you're not getting it right now
because you married Michael for his money.
- Did you marry Gordon for his money?
- I might have.
We did get to a point where I was ready to divorce you.
- I didn't know that, but okay.
- I heard that you're ----ing a rapper.
[laughing]
- First of all, it's not a rapper.
[laughing]
- Hey. - Will Walters,
editor of "Monarch Magazine,"
wanted to do this iconic spread.
- Girl, doing it. This is perfect.
- So, when do we get to see the photos from the shoot?
- In two days! - In two days?
- Yes.
- I don't like to wear underwear when I work out.
- GnA, Gizelle n Ashley,
we wanna have, like, a showcase
slash fashion show.
- Y'all can go. - Go, Kelly.
[cheers and applause]
- Make some noise for GnA.
[cheers and applause]
- With everything that transpired with Deborah,
I just don't want to feel like
you will stab me in the back.
- Happy Eddie comes over. - Who's Happy Eddie?
- Wendy's husband, I think. - Oh, chile,
not Happy Eddie. - Yeah, so he comes--
[laughing]
- I'm at the bar, you know, waiting to get my drink.
All of the sudden, I see Chris, and then go...
like, lookin' like that.
- And he's smiling at you, in your face?
- Yeah, yes, the eyes. Yeah, the eyes.
- Hey, Deborah, how are you? - How are you?
- Am I surprised that Ashley invited Deborah? No.
Ashley is messy.
- These people called parents,
you never know what's gonna happen to them.
- I know.
She told me that her father has brain cancer,
and I know that her dad is her world.
- Gizelle, are you leaving?
Yeah, they had to catch an early flight.
- I'm just, right now, trying to get back to my dad.
- Are the cameras down yet?
We're wrapped. We're good.
[indistinct yelling]
- Stop, stop, stop!
Get the (BLEEP) off of her!
- Oh, my God.
- Get off of her!
Hey, come on. Hey! Oh!
Get her out!
That's bullsh--!
Get her ass out.
- Are you okay?
- Where is she? - Where is she?
Where's the ladies room? - Oh, my God.
- What happened?
How did that get like that.
- Deborah threw a drink on Candiace.
- She threw a drink on Candiace, but she hit me in the head.
- What-what happened?
- I need Keiarna. Excuse me.
- Yeah. - Where is she?
- I'm not doing this no more.
I'm pissed 'cause this girl has no reason
to have sh-- off of me! - Shh.
She's talking to her mom. - I am upset.
- I know you are. - She's asking to talk to her mom.
I need to see. Nearest hospital.
She's going to be all right.
- Get that raggedy bitch the (BLEEP) out!
- You're fine. You're fine, Candiace.
You're fine.
- Get that Sesame Street ass bitch and don't come back!
- No, no. - Stop.
- Oh, my God, you're fine. You're fine, Candiace.
- Bye! Bye, Grover!
And don't come back,
you ----ing cockroach ass bitch!
- Candiace.
- Are you good?
- No, for real, are you good?
- What, she punched you?
- (BLEEP), Deborah.
- I know. I'm sorry. Okay.
- Uh-uh.
- The girl, Deborah, threw a drink on Candiace.
- She threw a drink on Candiace, and then I--
- She threw a drink on Candiace.
- I pushed her out the way, but then I believe--
I don't even know what happened.
We were fighting, but you hit me in the ----in' head.
- If she goes to the hospital,
I wanna talk to her mom
and let her know where she's at.
- Yeah, I'll let you know.
I'm not gonna put her on until we, uh--
- Let-let's go. - What happened?
- I'm with you. I got your purse.
I'm right here with you.
- Is K okay?
- Come on, K. Don't look at it.
- Everybody calm down.
- K is calmer. - Come on.
- It's okay. I need to rinse my face off.
It's okay.
- She-she needs-- she's getting read to come out.
- Everybody out. - She want everybody out.
She want everybody out. - Okay, all right.
I'm right here.
- According to my memory,
before Deborah even says anything to Candiace,
I hear her saying something a little bit to Ashley.
I can't make it out because of the music,
but it seemed like it had a lotta umph to it.
- I remember, like, going to Deborah and saying,
"Think about your children. Think about your husband."
I don't even understand why they were fighting.
- This seems intentional and attention seeking,
and K got hurt.
[siren wailing]
- So, we're standing up.
Next thing I know, Deborah, Sesame Street, whatever,
she takes the drink. Pfffft.
She throws it to hit Candiace.
At that point, I'm, like, like, pushing her back
'cause I see, like, she's a problem.
She turns around, grabs a glass,
hits me in my damn forehead.
My face.
Are you okay?
You talkin' about "fight."
There was no fight until you hit me in the head with a glass.
- Okay.
- I didn't-- I didn't drive.
I can-- I can ride with her.
I didn't drive.
[siren wailing] It's unfortunate.
I never wanna see it again.
I think it's a-a lesson to all of us.
Certain friends you can't mix with other friends.
I just don't know how Ashley missed that one.
It's unfortunate
'cause K suffered the ramifications.
- It's not your fault. Nothing you could have done.
- I know, but I know tensions between Deborah and Candiace
have been un-- you know,
like, bubbling for a long time.
- But what's her name jumped in it, though.
- I know.
- So, she should have stayed out of it.
- Deborah is my homegirl.
She really has held me down and been supportive of me
so much over these last couple of years.
- So, how are things with you and Michael?
- So, even though we're not together romantically,
because we talk about the kids all the time,
it doesn't feel any different.
- What's that saying? Like, cheaper-
cheaper to keep her sometimes. Did you--
- Oh, damn, girl, don't say that.
[laughing] Sh--.
And I don't have Candiace at the forefront of my mind
when I think about Deborah.
I feel like these are two grown women
who they don't mesh. Fine.
The club is huge.
There's no need for everyone to be feeling, like, pressure
because so and so is here.
I can be, and I have been, in a room with people
that I don't mesh with all the time.
- My God.
**
- Hi.
You look beautiful. - Thank you.
- Good to see you. - You, too.
- Oh, my God, this is gorge. This is--
- It is. - I'm loving it.
- You saw the video, right?
- I was channeling Miss Lena.
I was, like, right.
- We're going one by one. - It is one by one.
- I know, but you don't-- - I feel like I'm getting
married, right now. - I know.
I feel like I'm walking down the aisle.
- Look at Ashley. Who does she look like?
Dorothy Dandridge?
'Cause they're all somebody.
- Sisterhood is everything.
- Who?
- I don't know.
- And then Karen is...? - Oh, is it Marilyn Monroe?
- Maybe Marilyn Monroe. - Maybe she's Marilyn.
**
- They all did a great job.
- Hi. - How are you, Ashley?
- Karen, how is it going, babe?
- Girl, I'm here.
- I know, same here.
We're here. - I'm here. Okay.
- How you doin'?
- I'm okay. I'm doing all right.
- You know, I called you a couple of times.
- I know, girl. It's been a lot.
- You had to unplug.
- After seeing the social media stuff
and after Deborah really doubling down
on that sort of antagonizing,
I have decided to really put a pause
on my friendship with Deborah.
A lapse in judgment is one thing.
It's really how you act moving forward,
and I can't get down like that.
- So, how do you like your picture?
- Is it the one I would have picked?
- I-- hmm. - No.
- But they went for something, and they are--
- But I heard that Mia got to pick the pictures.
- And she-she dogged Robyn's picture.
- Girl.
- Girl, she said Robyn looked like dog food
that had been chewed yesterday
and thrown up. - No, she didn't say that.
No, she didn't. - Yes, she-- no, she didn't.
- I was gonna say.
**
- So, I'm driving home,
and before I got there, Ashley calls me,
and she's like, "Gizelle, there's been a humongous fight!
"K's head! There's blood everywhere."
A, why are we fighting?
I don't want GNA associated with a brawl.
B, Keiarna is a sweet girl.
I know her through Kal.
I like her around the group,
and none of this needed to happen, none of it.
Hi. How are you? - Hi, mamacita.
How are ya? - Good, good, good, good.
- Good to see you.
- Karen, I like this pink. - Hi, Kal.
How is it going? - Good, good, good.
- How are you? - I'm okay. How are you?
- Dad is okay? - One day at a time.
- Okay, he made it?
- Um, he made it through the surgery.
- Hallelujah. - And, um...
one day at a time.
- How you doin'? - Yeah?
- Yes. - Okay, good.
- He's-he's still in the ICU.
- Okay, understood, and so you're headed back.
- But, um, yes, I will be headed back,
um, after Tuesday.
Yeah. - Okay, let me know.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I told you--
I told her, if she needed anything,
we got you, okay? - Yes.
Yes, I appreciate that.
When somethin' super personal happens to you,
you really figure out who your friends are.
I have been with a lot of these girls for years,
and we've all supported each other
at different times, in different ways.
So, to see that they are, like, very concerned about me
and what's going on with my family, it's just--
it's a great feeling.
- Hi. - I-I saw you walking in.
What happened? [laughing]
- You know, I broke it before.
- Yes. - So, it just reinjured.
- Um, how did this happen?
- Charrisse, what happened to your foot?
- I was security, baby.
Candiace got into an argument with the girl.
The girl threw a drink at her.
Candiace grabs a champagne bottle.
So I grabbed the bottle, while I'm holding onto her.
And I'm-- we're all over the place,
and I'm, like, holding onto her like this,
trying to, you know, keep her away from--
- Why did she grab a bottle, though?
- That was her reaction when the girl threw the drink.
So, I think somebody stomped on my toe or something,
because my freshly polished toes
have, like, you know, scuff on it.
So-- 'cause I haven't been anywhere since.
- Right, right.
- I don't-- I-I really can't answer it.
- How do you feel about the fact that what happened
has left a stain on GNA,
something that we've been working on for a very long time?
It angers me. - I agree.
I am thankful still that we had a great show.
What Deborah tells me, is that
while she was sitting there,
she could hear Candiace and Wendy talking about her,
and so she got up and said, "You're talking about me."
- "Say it to my face."
- She said she called-- - Called her vermin, the help.
- I'm gonna get a drink. - It was crazy.
"Say it to my face." - "Yeah,
You're-you're talking about me. I'm right here.
I can hear you. Say it to my face."
- So, the mouth-- the mouth-- the mouth.
- "Like, say it to my face. Say it to my face."
- And Candiace, like, put her hand up
and, like, did like that,
and so Deborah, like, threw it in her hair,
and then K reached out and punched Deborah.
- So-so, who was there to protect K
when all these things happened with-with Candiace and Wendy?
- It went so fast.
It-it went so fast.
I was holding onto Candiace. - It was so fast, Kal.
- Can-Candiace didn't go nowhere.
- If Candiace was talking about Deborah, calling names,
**
- If Candiace was talking about Deborah,
calling names,
you should be able to deal with what happens after.
- Yeah.
I'm thirsty.
I need a little ginger ale. What you having? Champagne?
**
- Hi!
Hi!
Oh, sorry. Hey!
- Hi, beautiful.
- Good to see-- how are you?
It took me a couple days to recover mentally.
- What's up, Cookie? How you doin', sweetie?
- Hey, G. - How are you?
- But I'm glad that we are able to come together
and do something really impactful.
My cousin, Kel, is here.
I have friends from Charlotte.
My babies are here.
I think it's important for them to be exposed
to things that aren't the norm.
I'm glad that mom was able to come.
Thank you for being here. - You're welcome.
- Thank you for-- - I love your picture.
I love the cover.
- Aren't you proud of me? A trendsetter, mommy.
- So proud. - We're so proud of you.
- We've come a long way. - Yeah.
- Anyways, I just wanted to say hi.
- Yes.
- Hi, darling. - Hi.
- You look so gorgeous.
Say, "Hi, Miss Gizelle."
Say, "How are you?" - How you feeling?
- Do you see auntie KK?
- Hi, baby.
Muah. You look so pretty.
- Do you wanna go get, like, a glass of wine or anything?
- Uh, sure.
- Will, this is Gordon. - Oh, Will, how you doin'?
- Hello, sir. - I heard so much about you.
- G, Will. - Man, and vice versa.
- Oh. - So glad to finally meet you.
- I hope some of it was decent.
- It was all decent.
- Hi. - Hello. Welcome.
- Hi, Robyn. - Hey, Cookie. How are you?
I'm trying not to fall in these shoes.
- I seen the video.
- The other night, I had excused myself.
I left. I was ready to go home.
But I was still in the building,
and I was in an area with producers,
and I just hear mayhem.
I wasn't there.
I really don't know how it happened.
I don't know why it started.
All I know is what everyone else saw,
and it's unfortunate that Keiarna
got caught up fighting other people's battles.
Hi, Karen. - Hi, Robyn, good to see you.
- How are you? - I love the outfit.
- Oh, my, another compliment, two days in a row?
- Okay, Robyn, I don't like the photo and the picture.
Do you? - You don't like my photo?
- No.
- Hi.
- I'm upset with her, too.
I-I understand-- we-- she and I have talked.
The last thing I ever wanna see, is two people
that I know and care about in a fight.
- Right. - Especially at my event
where, you know, like-- - Sure.
- The context is supposed to be
that my friends were there to support me.
These are my real friends,
and I know that there has been tension in the past.
- Never.
Well, so, I've never been in that situation
with them, obviously. Like, we do playdates.
We all have kids, but that's how I know her.
So, that side of her I've never seen before.
- Look at you. - Hi, Barbie.
- Oh, my God. - Barbie, muah.
[indistinct chatter]
- That's a compliment. Look at you, beautiful.
- Well, thank you. - I love this.
- We had successfully made it through
the Sears fashion show.
I had partaken in all the festivities.
Out of nowhere, I look, and, oh, my God,
it's Cookie Monster,
and it says,
"Do you have something you want to say to me?"
And I said, "I don't speak to you."
All of a sudden, this thing is lunging at me.
Before I can even figure out what to do next,
Keiarna is fighting with it.
I don't even know how it got there.
It literally happened so fast.
Somehow, this is all gonna be my fault.
- Kal. - Kal.
- Kal, Kal, Kal.
- Honey, hi. I'm so glad you're here.
- Okay, can we talk about your picture
'cause that looks like Mia?
That does not look like Pam Grier.
That is Mia. - Right.
- You guys have never seen me with bangs.
- Where is the Foxy Brown? Beyonce is chilling.
- Just so you know, these aren't the actual covers.
Y'all know that. - I know, but so the--
so the-- Okay. - It's a preview.
Of the premiere of what your cover would look like.
Just, you know, it's a gallery just to celebrate us
coming together. - Okay, love it.
- The gang is all here. - Hi, Wendy. How are you?
- How are you? Good. - Good. Hi, Eddie.
How are you? How is it going? - Hey, how are you? Good, good.
Good to see you. - Good to see you, too.
- All the pictures are here.
- Okay, the pictures are here, apparently.
- Oh, who-who is that? Who is that?
- Wow! - Hello.
- Hey.
How you doin'? - I'm good. How are you?
You look nice today. - You look beautiful.
Are we good, baby? Good to see you. Muah.
- Hi. How are you? - Hi, baby.
I mean, it's good to see y'all.
Last time I saw y'all, we were in the emergency room.
This event today feels heavy
because what happened to Keiarna
a few days prior has left a dark cloud
over our group and I just don't know
how we can kiki and ha-ha when most of us came home
from the hospital at 4 a.m. just a few days ago.
I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm not okay.
- Deborah is actually mad with the wrong person.
What she needs to be mad with, is herself
'cause she said that Chris was flirting with her,
and we watched it, and he was not.
- And he was not, and it showed that he was not.
- I'm at the bar, you know, waiting to get my drink.
He come overs, a little...
Like, looking like that.
- And he's smiling at you, in your face?
- Yeah, yes, the yes. Yeah, the eyes.
- So, the next best thing is to be mad at Candiace.
- Her personal lies but-- - 'Cause then she can use
being mad at Candiace to elevate herself.
- Yeah. - And that's what she's doing.
- I have lots of questions for Ashley.
- Right, right. - Uh-huh.
- And I'm gonna wait for her to get comfortable.
- Mm-hmm.
- But I have lots of questions for her.
- Okay, good.
- It's so many people.
- The boss lady. - Hi. Girl, you look stunning.
Oh, my God. - You do, too.
Girl, why did I almost order this dress this week?
- Sh--, when I grow up, I wanna be you.
- Everyone was invited of course, right,
to see their posters and whatnot?
- Yes, everybody is here. - Hello.
- Cha-Cha, my love. - How are you? Look at you.
- I'm good.
Oh, what happened to your foot?
- From the other night. - Really?
- Yes. - Are you serious?
- Yeah. - OMG.
- Where were you?
- I was trying to break up some stuff.
Got pushed aside to the couch.
- Yeah, that's what happened to me.
- And by the time I got up from the couch,
they was on the floor.
- Ashley, are you stressed with all the drama?
- I mean, I wanna-- - You've been actually in--
actually not in the drama, but you're there,
seeing everything. - I know.
I just-- I wanna know how K is.
Like, no one has really told me how K is doing.
Wendy says she got 12 stitches.
- Through the text, she sounded like
she was doing okay.
Like, she said she's doing much better.
- Oh, good. - She seemed to be okay.
- It was a lot. - It was mayhem that night.
It was mayhem. - Yes.
- But you are better than that, okay?
- Yes, I am. Yeah. - And really, for her?
You know what I'm saying? - Yeah.
- You're so talented, Candiace,
and we've had this conversation 1,000 times.
- Yes.
- What were you gonna do with that bottle?
I wanna know. - I don't know.
- Not fight because you-- - If-if she--
if she had come at me--
- If you would've done something with that bottle,
you would have been in jail.
- If she had come at me, I-I needed something
to protect myself. - You would have been in jail.
- Not-not if she touched me first.
- When Candiace picked up the champagne bottle,
it surprised me.
I didn't think she was really about--
like, Candiace is not gully, okay?
There's-- she's not.
So, I didn't think she was actually going to do anything,
but, at the same time, it's not a good look for you
to have a champagne bottle in your hand,
like you're gonna do something.
And because I do care about Candiace,
I was trying to diffuse the situation for everybody.
- Thank you for your motherly instincts.
- Yes, it's okay. - I'm sorry about your foot.
Oh, my God.
- It's just, like, I can't work for the next six months.
- Did you tell my mom I broke your foot?
- Yes, I did. - Don't tell her that.
- I did.
- Nneka. - Hello, beautiful people.
- Hi. - Welcome back.
First of all, all you guys look amazing in your photos.
- You look amazing. Oh, oh, yeah.
- In your-- like, now, yes, but in your photos--
- Oh, thank you.
- I don't know that I look like Mariah.
I don't think I would see that picture and be like,
oh, that's Mariah Carey.
I'd be like, oh, that's Robyn pretending to be a singer.
[laughing]
- Yeah, I would love that, absolutely.
- Yeah, and we'll see you, okay?
- Look forward to it. All right, bro.
Appreciate it. - Okay.
- Hi! - Your cover looks amazing.
- Thank you. Where is-- oh. - He's right there.
You know where you're at?
- I was about to ask where yours was.
I'm sorry. - Oh, no, it's okay.
Girl, don't feel sorry. I'm good.
- Just a minute, Ashley. - Yes.
- First of all, thank you for walking over here.
- I'll even say this.
Thank you both for walking over here.
- For coming over, thank you. Thank you.
- Of course. - Yeah.
- We really appreciate it because we all went through
that together.
Thank you, Gizelle, for coming over.
- For what?
- So, I think there is an elephant in the room,
and it needs to be addressed. - There is.
- Clearly, your friend came with an agenda.
**
- So, I think there is an elephant in the room,
and it needs to be addressed. - There is.
- The other night took us way back,
and I wanna hear what you have to say
because these were your friends, okay?
And I wanna hear you out.
And then I want you to listen to us.
- Everyone involved in this situation was an adult,
number one.
So, while they were my friends, I'm not taking ownership
or responsibility for their behavior
because I don't need to.
Don't like what happened, and to see what happened to K,
was heartbreaking to me.
I've grown to really like K, and I care about Deborah
as my friend.
I don't really know what transpired before
because what she says is, you were talking about her
or something and you were calling her vermin,
or the help, or something, and she just asked you,
like, why are you talking? - I did not speak
directly to her.
- I hear what you're saying.
I don't think that any of us should be held accountable
for what our friends do.
However, when your friend, Deborah, was in Candiace's face,
Candiace said multiple times, "Get her away from me."
I'll give credit to myself, K, who is not here,
and even Nneka, who came around from the table
and said, "Let's not do this here."
Clearly, your friend came with an agenda.
- I can say now, having hindsight,
I wouldn't invite Deborah if I had known that
there was gonna be this animosity.
But if what Deborah is saying is true,
that Candiace had been calling her vermin, rodent,
the help, just being very condescending,
Candiace, again, this is the-- this is the second time.
Perhaps, she goes too far.
You can't keep going for the white meat.
Like, at some times, for some people,
you hit too low.
- I feel like Ashley is not to blame.
I think Deborah was absolutely deadass wrong
for throwing a drink at all, and I also think she was wrong
for getting up and even going over there.
She should have stayed with her friends, had a good time,
and what would have upset them even more,
was her ignoring them and being a bad bitch.
- A level of trust in this group, Ashley,
I'm gonna put it out there, has been destroyed.
I feel this sends a bigger message
to a larger group of people who wanna come up
and (BLEEP) us up anytime they want, okay?
'Cause we can never allow, in this circle,
to bring anyone around each of us
that means any harm to us. - That means us ill, yes.
- Homegirl woke up the next morning.
She slept that alcohol off, and she still doubled down.
- Uh-huh, and still decided, made a conscious decision.
- Ashley, that's a problem for me.
- It was a problem for me, too.
- But, Ashley, you were upset about that, right?
You were upset about that post. - Homegirl, ooh.
- So, I do wanna say I am sorry that I put everyone
in this position.
I never imagined that this is where this would go.
Totally overshadowed this beautiful thing
that Gizelle and I have been working on.
- Girl, let me tell you. The devil wears Prada.
- And that saddens me tremendously.
And so, you know, I-I am sorry to you.
I am.
I will try to be more conscious of who I bring into the group
and ensure your safety. - Thank you.
- It has been a long time since we have all been able to
look each other in the eye and have conversation.
And, hopefully, we can work together as a group
that is not fractured, so we can all move forward
like a true sisterhood.
- So, we're not-- it's not perfect now,
but as long as we maintain being able to talk,
whether it's to the person or having the message
get to the person, we can get to the place.
- Yes, yes. - Absolutely.
- Rome wasn't built in a day. - It wasn't.
- Personally, I wanted to say one thing.
- Oh. - As some of you guys know,
this has been, like, a super tough for week.
Some of you guys have really reached out,
and it has really shown me the level of support and love
that, you know, some of you guys have for me.
And when I heard from Karen, 'cause you didn't have to, um--
- Yes, I did.
- I mean, you know what I'm sayin'.
- We've been through a lot. - Yes.
- But I like where we are, right now.
- Yeah, I know. - Even if I didn't,
it's the right thing to do in this friendship circle.
One thing I love about Karen is,
I've been able to be accountable to her
about the things that I've done that she didn't like,
and she to me. That's what grown women do,
and not everybody in this group is like that.
- Gizelle and I, we go toe to toe,
but we get past it because, at the end of the day,
we're friends.
- And that's the sisterhood. - Yeah.
- All right. Can we toast?
- Yes, we can. - Of course.
- To where we are today is not perfect.
- Right.
- But I believe in our friendship
and this circle of girls. - Yes!
- Hey! - Party!
[indistinct chatter, laughing]
- Cheers. - Oh, cheers, baby.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Hey, baby, I'm getting ready to do my thing,
just so you know where to find me.
- Okay, okay.
- Hi, everyone. Good morning.
Well, not good morning. Good evening.
I just wanna thank everybody for coming out
this evening to celebrate this iconic moment with us.
I was introduced to Will just a few short months ago,
and he and his phenomenal team had this amazing vision,
and I said I have been wanting to do something
with this group of women, something that was powerful.
Something that was impactful.
Something that can show us that we can come together,
and we can do the things.
And I wanted to do something that honored our past
and also represented our present.
And then, most importantly, represent the future
for generations to come.
[cheers and applause]
Daddy G has somethin' to say.
- Wanna take the opportunity to thank everyone for coming
to help celebrate this moment for my wife.
- Yes.
- And I just want y'all to know that I am so proud of her.
She is a role model.
- I am the regional developer and multi-clinic owner
for the Joint Chiropractic.
- She is an absolutely wonderful mother
and a pretty darn good wife, too.
I have no interest in going to strip clubs.
There ain't nothin' better than this.
I think we have one of the best relationships
there is on earth.
So, at this moment, I want you to join me in raising a toast.
Cheers.
- Thank you, baby. Love you.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
It's just a lot. [laughing]
[clears throat]
[chuckling]
[dings]
- He reached out in one of our group texts that the--
that the gentlemen had and said, "Oh, you know,
"I'm trying to get in contact with you guys."
Trying to get in contact with your wives
just to tell 'em some stuff about what's going on
with him and Mia.
And so, we were like, what are you talking about?
And then a call occurred.
[phone ringing]
We were just talking about, you know,
they're going through it, that they are getting a divorce.
He explained some things Mia was doing
that wasn't putting the kids first.
I think, after that conversation,
that's when we started to see things online.
And it was like, oh, so he wasn't just blowing hot air.
It wasn't just a moment where they got into a-a disagreement.
Sh-- is really happening.
[doorbell ringing] - Somebody is at the door.
[sighs]
Delivery? - [indistinct].
- Okay, thanks. Yep.
- Okay. - All right. We're good?
- Thank you. - Okay.
- Well, official, um, was July.
No one knew.
Is he hurt? Yeah.
He doesn't want me to divorce him.
He doesn't want me to, like, not stay with him.
And had he not gone to TMZ, I mean, who knows?
We probably would, like, have figured things out.
I honestly feel that...
He didn't like that whole notion between Ashley and I in D.R.
I most definitely think that you married Michael
for his money.
- Did you marry Gordon for his money?
- I might have.
He didn't like that at all.
And honestly, I feel like that's why TMZ came out.
All right, so, are we gonna, um, talk about, like,
how long am I gonna have to sleep in Juju's room?
Like, are you gonna head back to Charlotte?
Like, what are you doing?
- I'm planning on going back around the 8th, 9th,
10th of November.
Is that not soon enough for you,
'cause I'm here because you asked me to come
and watch the kids because you have functions?
It's up to you. If you want me to leave early,
and you got coverage for the kids, have at it.
- Let's talk about, like, longevity.
I don't wanna have to, like, sleep in Juju's room.
- You asked for this.
So, I don't think you thought this through well enough
to think about all of the unintended consequences.
So, this is one of them.
I've known you've been having an affair
for ten years or longer.
I know you had an affair just before we got married.
You tell me how it looks, a married woman
going to live with a single man in a five-bedroom house.
- He wasn't-- I wasn't living with him.
- Bullsh--. The kids told me.
- Uh, he wasn't even there half the time.
He works in 17 different cities. Always on the road.
- I-- oh, the kids would tell me.
They even told me you were sleeping with him
when you said you weren't. - No, Gordon.
- Jeremiah said, "I saw mommy sleeping with Mr. Inc."
- Gordon.
- Okay, first, he doesn't wanna be called (BLEEP).
[laughing] We can start there.
His name is INC, I-N-C.
- Okay. [laughing]
- He said, "Do not mess up his brand."
That's all he asked.
Inc was someone from my past,
high school sweetheart long time ago.
Gordon was aware of me sleeping with him
when we first got married because I told him.
We went to counseling.
We moved on from it.
It's, like-- it's a very unfortunate situation.
- I had prostate cancer.
My things, organs, weren't working like they used to.
On my 70th birthday, I said, "You know,
"if you find someone that you think you wanna
"start spending time with, I want you to know
"I'm okay with that, but I have two rules.
"One, be discreet.
"Two, don't get the kids involved."
And in this case, you did both.
You were careless, coming in at 2 o'clock in the morning.
I look at the phone bill.
You and he are talking from the time you leave wherever
to two minutes before you get home and get in the garage.
Then you would take him around the kids.
Go to his house.
Have the kids there like you were trying to--
Jer-- Juju asked me,
"Dad, why is mommy trying to replace you with Mr. Inc?"
- I mean, honestly, Gordon, if you gave me your blessing,
then why are you so upset?
- 'Cause you were throwing it in my face,
and you took the kids around him.
- Maybe April,
when I noticed Gordon was just not quite himself.
Babe, you went through a whole depression.
- Well-well, I went through a depression. Yeah.
- You sat on that sofa for two months.
To see you like that, it was really, really hard.
We started to argue, and I grew up
in a, um, abusive environment.
I told myself that I just won't allow my children
to hear mommy and daddy arguing.
I was going through not knowing if I wanted to get separated,
and I've been very open with Gordon,
and Gordon has been fully aware of,
you know, all the things.
- You were on the phone with you-know-who.
So, then I took your phone for two hours.
Then you got mad
and went off to Atlanta with (BLEEP).
- Yes, 'cause you--
You took my phone. - But wait a minute.
Wait a minute. - And locked me in a room.
Okay? - I said, after two hours,
you can have it back. Get some rest.
- Gordon, you're not my dad.
Who does that? - Uh, let me finish.
- So, but here's the-- no, let's-let's pause there.
- I'm out, guys. Thank you. - Let's pause there.
- No, I-I'm out.
- No, let's pause there. You took my phone...
- You guys enjoy talkin' to her.
- ...locked me in a room. Gordon.
Gordon?
- This is so unproductive. It's a waste of my time.
You just can't help yourself.
I try and cooperate.
- It did not include him, 'cause he's been in there
tryin' to break up our marriage,
'cause I was pissed that she always went to him
when she claimed she had a problem.
She told me, "He was my safe zone."
She said that. "He's my soulmate."
She told me all this. Now, she's denying it.
- Can we talk about future? - Where are the keys?
- Can we talk about what we're gonna do in the future?
- No, not until we resolve these unresolved issues. No.
- You are accusing me of being with someone.
Didn't you think that maybe if I was
really with someone-- - Accusing? Was it true?
- Then-- - Was it true? Tell me.
Why did (BLEEP) think that Jeremiah was his kid?
- Gordon, that's not fair. That's not fair.
Let me tell you. Let me tell-- - Go-- You want fair,
- Tell me.
Why did (BLEEP) think that Jeremiah was his kid?
- Gordon, that's not fair. That's not fair.
Let me tell you. Let me tell-- - Go-- You want fair,
go to a carnival. Just stop lying.
- You know, that's really kinda, like, sh---y of you.
Years ago, I told him. I said, "Hey, I'm pregnant.
"I also wanted you to know that the timeline,
"that this baby might not be yours."
And he said that he loves me,
and he's going to raise this child as if it was his.
- Not that I know of.
- I think what happened is,
once you started making a lot of money in this show,
it felt like I had no access to capital,
then you said, okay, now is the time to leave.
- No, Gordon, not at all.
So, chill out with that.
You're slandering me. - I'm gonna tell the truth.
- And I'm the one that's transferring money to you
to make sure that you can eat.
- Congratulations. Thank you. - But I'm such a golddigger.
- Thank you. - Right?
And I married you for your money
even though you're asking me for money.
Like, let's be real here.
It has been really, really challenging,
the fact that
you are in this legal battle with your siblings,
and I have asked you to let it go.
I don't agree with you suing your family.
- Okay. - I have stood firm in that.
- Okay. - I'm not reneging in that.
Because you're not taking-- - That's your opinion.
- Self-accountability of the role that you played
as to why we even got here.
That's a problem, Gordon.
If I were to be leaving my marriage
because of financial reasons,
I would have left seven or eight years ago.
He was spending an excessive amount of money,
going to strip clubs,
and just not home,
coming in the middle of the night.
I think it's just a matter of just getting tired.
You know, I'm giving too much of myself
that I felt like I was losing myself,
and I just really wanna get back to a point
where it's like it's my season
for someone to nurture and pour into me.
- I'm perfectly willing to set this all aside
and move on for the sake of the kids.
- Remaining in a marriage with you?
- You can frame it whatever way you want.
- I-- right now, it's really hard to answer that,
because the only thing that I can think about,
is just how much of a loose cannon you are.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Well, I don't know that people think that.
- And I need more time to just allow things
and the temperature to just die down.
- But then stop seeing (BLEEP) then.
- Gordon. - You just walked yourself
right into a trap.
- I don't even know why you're bringing him up.
- Because you're screwing him.
- Gordon. - You just told me two days ago
you were screwing him.
Mia, pick a story and stick with it.
- This life that I'm living is not really the life
that God is intending for me.
Like, I need to, like, follow my heart,
and whatever happens, happens.
(BLEEP) has been, like, such a good friend,
and he's also been really supportive of, like,
my decisions in life.
He told me ten years ago he will be here when I'm ready,
and he has held true to that.
He has not asked anybody to marry him.
And if now is the time, now is the time.
I just need a break,
because living like this every single day,
I'm not gonna be able to be
the best version of myself, right?
Because I'm constantly having to, like,
navigate around hostility.
So... - You-you're already gone.
You've already given me the separation papers.
We're not living together. - Oh, Gordon...
- I knew and made up my mind a long time ago,
if a woman says to me they wanna go, go.
I'm not gonna fight you.
If that's what would make you happy, bye.
- Next up,
an epic Real Housewives of Potomac Reunion begins.
Okay.
I wanna set an intention for us today
that each of you can find a path
towards moving forward.
- I expect nothing less tonight.
- I still love him.
I still massage this man's feet every night.
- You massage Michael's feet?
- I massage Michael's feet every night.
- Chile.
- Has anyone else taken Robyn's swallowing advice?
You have? With the DJ.
- He's a radio personality. - Oh.
[laughing]
- Gordon's here.
Inc said, what's up, Gordon.
- Hey, Inc. How you doin', man.
- I'm sorry to hear about your dad passing.
- I was... there with him when he took his last breath.
- And ice me out of this group.
- You understand what I'm saying.
- I wanna share something with you
that some of you may have suspected.
- Oh, Mia, I'm sorry.
- So the screenshots of your husband's limp penis
are photoshopped?
- If you knew how taboo it is,
you would not say anything else.
- Does Inc think Jeremiah is his son?
- He does. - Still?
- Gizelle's an imp.
Gizelle's the devil.
Gizelle is evil.
- All true.
- I think the two of you need Jesus, Himself.
- I have Him. He is right here.
