The heat keeps rising between Monique Samuels and Candiace Dillard-Bassett on this season of The Real Housewives of Potomac and it’s showing no signs of slowing down!
During the August 16 episode of the show, Monique and Candiace began to butt heads as the conversation of Charrisse Jackson-Jordan — whom Monique now despises, seemingly for good reason — comes to the table.
After the dinner, where Candiace refused to apologize to Ashley Darby for her past behavior, the cameras stopped rolling but the audio stayed on, revealing a hot mic moment in which Candiace and Monique continue to go at it.
The two are obviously discussing Charrisse coming to Candiace’s party, and in her confessional, Candiace called Monique “two-faced,” claiming she’s one way on camera and another way off.
“She’s mad I didn’t tell her I was mad about Charrisse off camera prior to the dinner,” Monique explained on Twitter, calling out Candiace for not tipping her off about Charrisse before filming. “At the point you stop giving me a heads up prior to cameras, I will follow YOUR LEAD! Why am I giving her that courtesy when she disregarded me? WTF? #rhop”

Candiace then replied to numerous fans watching along with the show who prodded her for not giving Monique a “heads up” about Charisse. Perhaps all of this could have been avoided with a few minor actions?
“Sis I love you @candeegal but this whole situation could’ve been avoided if only you gave your girl a heads up,” a fan tweeted at Candiace. “That would be the ideal thing to do knowing their history. It’s what friends do #RHOP”
“Naïve. This was a retroactive reaction,” Candiace responded. “She would have found something else to be mad about Bc she needed something to do this season besides film her bird pooping on a napkin.”

Candiace went on to further explain why she reacted in the way she did to Monique and her reasoning for being done with the situation and their friendship in general.
“I don’t know how to explain how LOST I was. This fake bs came out of LEFT field. Based on some he said, she said rumors & lies. There was never a conversation,” Candiace explained. “I just had to realize what was happening and collect my pearls and peace out of the friendship. It felt like sh*t. #RHOP”

Candiace also threw some more shade Monique’s way, commenting on her apparent inability to see the “fake bs” of a friendship with Gizelle Bryant.
“I don’t know how hard I can laugh watching Monique think that Giz is her friend. This high five…the keekee ????????????” Candiace remarked. “It’s sending me all the way out ???????? #RHOP”
