The Real Housewives of Potomac is back for a 10th season with returning cast members Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Wendy Osefo, Stacey Rusch, Keiarna Stewart, and Jassie Rideaux, and newbies Tia Glover and Angel Massie.
As the ladies are also joined by Monique Samuels, who left the series after season five due to her fight with Candiace Dillard-Bassett, and Mauricio Umansky, who makes a flirty cameo alongside Gizelle, a sneak peek at the upcoming episodes features Gizelle writing a letter to their incarcerated ex-co-star, Karen Huger.
“Dear Karen, not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. In a lot of ways, life has been moving on … and some things haven’t changed at all,” Gizelle writes in the RHOP trailer.
As Ashley celebrates the end of her three-year-long divorce battle with Michael Darby, Stacey appears to reconcile with her estranged husband, Thiemo Rusch, with whom she shares a nine-year-old daughter, Arabella.
“I’m committed to you and I’m committed to our family,” Stacey tells him.
But once the news gets back to Gizelle, she doesn’t hesitate to raise questions, especially after Stacey’s apparent season nine fauxmance with Anthony Thomas “TJ” Jones.
“This b*tch ain’t even divorced?!” Gizelle exclaims.
“I know she didn’t just bring TJ around just to get back with her man. Oh my god,” Wendy replies.
After welcoming Tia, a British-Nigerian real estate advisor, and Angel, an outdoor experiential curator, to the RHOP cast, Stacey continues to be met with questions about her love life.
“In New York, I lied,” she admits to Gizelle.
“You lied for a year, Stacey!” Gizelle claps back, proceeding to mention the launch of the cannabis line Stacey previously denied, which rivals that of Wendy’s husband, Eddie Osefo.
Stacey also butts heads with Ashley, who calls her “weird” and shades her “hot” breath.
After Stacey brings up Gizelle’s “situation,” saying “everyone knows that [she has] a boyfriend,” Gizelle is seen with Mauricio, the estranged husband of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards.
“Hey, Gizelle,” he says as she hugs him.
In addition to the back and forth between the women, the trailer also exposes other relational issues among the group, including alleged tension between Keiarna and Greg Diggs, and drama between Wendy and someone from her past.
“I have now realized that he doesn’t love me,” Wendy tells Ashley, who replies, “Wendy, I’m so sorry.”
There’s also strife between Stacey and Monique after Ashley declares, “Stacey’s been trying to get with Chris Samuels.”
“Yeah, my ex-husband? Like, no. We’re not doing that,” Monique states during another scene.
As the trailer concludes, so does Gizelle’s letter to Karen.
“I need some help with these hoes. Love you, Gizelle,” she concludes.
The Real Housewives of Potomac season 10 premieres on Sunday, October 5, at 8/7c on Bravo.
