Cast members from Real Housewives of Potomac are now reacting to Robyn Dixon’s recent disclosure that her husband Juan Dixon cheated with another woman on social media. Robyn also revealed she knew of the woman’s claims before the season began filming.
In recent episodes, however, when Karen Huger exposed the woman’s allegations, Robyn and her BFF Gizelle Bryant seemed to deny knowing anything about it. But according to their admission on the Reasonably Shady podcast, the other woman told both of them. The stars then teased that their paid subscribers on Patreon would learn more details.
After the declaration, Chris Bassett – who was accused by Gizelle of making her feel uncomfortable in a hotel room – took to Twitter and revealed his reaction.
“So wait … there were TRUTHS that were omitted/not filmed during our season … as a cast, we chose to tell FALSEHOODS & LIES about innocent people all season long & now we are charging for the truth? ????????WTF. I’m good on this bulls**t,” he asked.
He then wrote a separate tweet, “Just so we are clear … Gizelle and [Ashley Darby] KNEW about this BEFORE the season … didn’t bring it up … that’s your friend cool … but chose to LIE as a distraction?????”
“[I’m not] mad at Robyn,” he continued, “but the others are trash for that.”

His wife Candiace Dillard Bassett also shared her thoughts. “Why be open or genuine or authentic when the least of us can rob our viewers of the truth and continually be rewarded for it?” she asked.

The singer went on to say, “It’s not entertaining. It’s not interesting. It’s wack.” She also said it “tarnishes the integrity of the premise of our show. It tap dances on the intelligence of the viewership.”

It tarnishes the integrity of the premise of our show. It tap dances on the intelligence of the viewership that champion our stories and discover their own parallels in our lives. And when it’s not that deep, it simply occludes amusement.

“And while we ‘reserve the right to be judicious about what we share,’ there is a special brand of audacity attached to individuals who will knowingly bury the lede,” she added, “in exchange for damning and salacious lies that stand to cause irreparable harm to innocent people.”
Candiace then wrote a post that may have referenced host Andy Cohen.
“Our boss’s favorite clap back when we’re playing coy about certain aspects of our lives is: ‘you’re on a reality show about your life.’ There is an expectation that – doing no harm – we show up to this platform as our authentic selves.”

Castmates Dr. Wendy Osefo and Karen had shorter responses, but their messages seemed to be clear.
“Clown behavior,” wrote Wendy on Twitter.
“Well you don’t say…” expressed Karen.
Clown behavior… 🤣🌽
