Jassi Rideaux accused Stacey Rusch of forming friendships with the Real Housewives of Potomac castmates just to “get on the [show].” Jassi, who was friends with Stacey last season, also revealed what Stacey allegedly told Dr. Wendy Osefo and Ashley Darby off-camera.

In the new season, Stacey’s friendships with several costars seemed to deteriorate. While some fans feel that Stacey acted fake, others were offended by how her costars treated her. One of the issues this season centered on if Stacey would attend Jassi’s wedding to Darius Harris.

On The Reality Rundown, Jassi was asked where she stands with Stacey today.

“Oh my God, this woman – she’s a person that I never knew,” said Jassi. “I think that Stacey is the kind of person that it’s like, ‘oh well b**ch, I’m climbing to the top. Sorry, I had to step on you to get there, but screw you.'”

She was then asked if Stacey has any genuine friendships on RHOP.

“No, not genuine,” she answered. “[It’s] absolutely [for the show]. The relationships that she formed with those people who are on the platform before the platform was to get on the platform.”

Later on, Jassi shared more insight into their drama.

“Oddly enough, the entire season that I returned, there was certain conversations going around about Stacey not wanting to go to my wedding,” she said. “And I heard those conversations from other cast members, not necessarily from Stacey herself. So I had conversations with Stacey. And Stacey, in true Stacey fashion, put on the QVC and was like, ‘Girl, of course I would love to make it to your wedding. I’m gonna do everything I can to make sure that my line is out. Jassi, you know I have a business, a legacy that I want to leave to Arabella. And I gotta make some changes to try to get there, but I may not be able to make it because this is the only day that they will film my [business].'”

“So at that point, the QVC Stacey kind of had me in a trance,” she continued. “I was like, oh, well I can understand that. … But [I found] out later that that was all BS. … [And] as soon as Ashley Darby and Wendy said [they were attending], I guess [the] word on the street is that [Stacey] still was kind of like, ‘okay, well, I’m gonna … prepare for my own business.'”

According to Jassi, Stacey came to the wedding with a “happy face” after Wendy told her that she would look like a “horrible friend” if she didn’t go.

“[But earlier] she actually was telling Ashley and Wendy, ‘Girl, I ain’t going to that wedding,'” said Jassi. “Wendy told me. Ashley told me.”
