Gizelle Bryant looked back on the moment she called Wendy Osefo a “scammer” after claiming she wanted to be her friend on Sunday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live.
While also clapping back at Karen Huger‘s suggestion that she was the default choice for Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, reacting to Karen, 63, claiming Stacey Rusch, 54, is AI, and addressing hypocrisy claims, the 56-year-old Real Housewives of Potomac star spoke of her apology to Tia Glover, 45, revealed how jail changed Karen, and more.
“I see that back and I very much regretted it,” Gizelle admitted of shading Wendy, 42, on the October 18 episode of WWHL. “Like, I cringed watching myself say that because Wendy and I have, we’re actually, I think really good friends, maybe not after she sees this episode, but I feel like I took eight steps back and I don’t want to do that. So, Wendy, I’m sorry.”
Moving on to Karen saying they cast her for RHUGT by default, Gizelle shaded Karen’s jail time.
“We couldn’t get her cuz she was in jail. So, enough said,” she stated.
As for Karen calling Robyn Dixon, 47, “Robert,” Gizelle admitted she wasn’t sure.
“Karen [is] confused,” she suspected.
She then said she “totally [agreed]” with Karen saying Stacey was AI.
Reflecting on Karen’s Color Purple–themed homecoming party, which aired on Sunday’s episode of RHOP, Gizelle admitted that “no one could understand it.”
“No one was up for the occasion. Nobody wanted to see Karen in that way,” she explained.
Gizelle then seemingly agreed that it was hypocritical of her to criticize Stacey for waiting to air Tia’s situation on camera, since Gizelle waited to film with Candiace Dillard-Bassett, 39, to say something about Chris Bassett, 48, and Wendy to say something about Eddie Osefo, 42.
“Well, people need to realize that Gizelle is evolving. I’m becoming a better person, yes, amen,” she stated.
After offering a “practiced” apology to Tia for her involvement in exposing her husband Rob Glover‘s involvement on dating apps, Gizelle admitted the two of them had “a little hiccup because of Robyn Dixon.”
“But we’re the best right now. I love Tia. I’m very happy,” she continued.
After being asked if she was surprised that Robyn had been holding the cast accountable, Gizelle said, “Yes and no.”
“But I appreciate it because I always like good banter, so I’m not mad at it,” she confirmed.
Also on the live airing of WWHL, Gizelle shared her favorite RHUGT memory.
“It was when we were in Beverly Hills, and we had our pajama party; we had the time of our lives,” she revealed.
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Gizelle was asked how jail time changed Karen.
“She’s softer. She’s more vulnerable. She wants to see all the ladies win. She’s still shady, but the shade is different, and I can appreciate it,” Gizelle replied.
Then, after acknowledging that she and Karen “had a moment this season,” Gizelle confirmed they recovered quickly.
“It was the fastest we’ve ever done for as big of a blowup as we had. So I appreciate Karen, and I really do at this point in time in my life, view her as a sister,” she continued. “I’ve always said Karen’s a different person off-camera. Not anymore. She’s pretty much like the same, which is great.”
Also of Karen, Gizelle revealed that she did not send her money in jail.
“I asked. I contacted [her husband Ray Huger], and I told him that I wanted to send Karen some money, and he said he had it because I very much was going to give Karen whatever she needed. But when she came home, I had, like, Tally Ho, I sent Karen whatever she needed because that is just like a traumatic experience,” she shared.
Gizelle then denied that Lisa Barlow, 51, was misunderstood.
“No. I mean, no shade to Lisa,” she stated.
The Real Housewives of Potomac season 11 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
