The Real Housewives of Potomac star Stacey Rusch is having a stellar second season on the show. Now, she’s opening up about dating Chris Samuels, her issues with Gizelle Bryant and Keiarna Stewart, and more.
Stacey recently appeared on an episode of Carlos King’s podcast, Reality with The King. Notably, he gave her the Reality Star of 2025 before beginning the interview.
One of the first topics to come up was her connection to Chris. When asked if he ever asked her out on a date, Stacey said, “He’s never said that, no.” Carlos then asked if she had heard from Chris recently. She responded that Carlos should ask Chris instead.
From there, they began discussing her issues with Gizelle, specifically how Stacey was treated at the 10 million downloads party. She said, “Just tell me, like what did I do. I showed up in a beautiful dress. I came to support Gizelle and nonexistent Robyn, like, how are you not at your own party?”
She continued, “Gizelle just gets away with anything. Gizelle gets away with not having a man on the show, then being exposed for dating someone, yet going and filming an entire dating show called The Love Hotel when you’re actually dating someone here in the DMV. No one says anything. I’m the only one that said something.”
Stacey then called Gizelle out for her “business partner” not being at her event.
Stacey wasn’t done yet as she blasted Ashley as well. “Gizelle says I shouldn’t be trusted around husband or children, and her bestie is out here kissing her friend’s son. Really, Gizelle? I almost threw up in my mouth a little bit when Ashley admitted that,” she shared. “I would have taken that to my grave. Are the pickins so slim?”
She added, “Once you’re a child of my friend, you’re a child forever. What are you doing?” Stacey also weighed in on Keiarna Stewart’s relationship with Greg as well as the issues they’ve had this season.
According to Stacey, “Then I saw something the other day, and she was saying that she thinks I’m performative. I think I’m reactive. You’ve come for me over and over again because you thought I was an easy target, and I’ve answered you to your face and in confessionals.”
She then said, “Don’t be mad because I’m doing me better than you’re doing you.”
When asked if Greg will ever marry K, Stacey said, “I don’t know, I don’t know, and I think that… I’ve been married for many years. Divorced and back together with my ex-husband, so I know a thing or two about love… You want your partner to want you.”
Stacey’s comments come as K is jokingly telling fans that picture frames make for great holiday gifts after Greg gave her one on the show when she was expecting to be proposed to.
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs on Sunday nights.
