The Real Housewives of Potomac star Keiarna Stewart is opening up about the recent allegations that she was once a fraudster. Plus, she’s reflecting on her issues with Wendy Osefo and on what she wishes had aired to give viewers more context.
Regarding the fraud allegations, rumors recently began to swirl that Keiarna had been previously involved with identity theft and other similar crimes.
Keiarna was recently on Way Up With Angela Yee. When asked about the rumors of past fraud, the RHOP star said, “Lies. Never had an issue with fraud.”
She explained, “It had nothing to do with me. I never seen the courtroom about it. You guys already know I had a season of my life where I dated the bad boys. I had a season like any other girl, but listen, I haven’t been convicted, I never had a felony, it was immediately dismissed because it had nothing to do with me.”
In the end, she implied that she was initially targeted in the investigation so the authorities could reach one of her past boyfriends. She said, “Catch a small fish to get to the big fish. It had nothing to do with me.” Keiarna also confirmed that it was esponged from her record.
Keiarna also revealed that she wishes more of her conversations with Wendy had been shown on the show. She said, “So I think the whole thing where it just seems like out of nowhere with Wendy- I actually didn’t come into the beginning of the season like, ‘yeah, I’m gonna have an issue with Wendy.'”
She explained that it started with her wondering whether she had been reading Wendy’s actions properly, and that things escalated at the Bloom Ball. Later, K also shared that she had given Wendy earrings during the Nevis trip for her birthday.
She added, “So you guys didn’t see that I actually was a person that said, ‘you know what, I don’t want us to have to beef anymore. Here’s my peace offering to you so that we can kind of move on and at least be good coworkers at best.”
Next, Keiarna also discussed the argument she had with Gizelle Bryant and Wendy while on the boat. When asked if there was more to the story, she explained, “I really hate that scene because I think it was one of those scenes where I was very confused why we were even having that conversation because it’s a conversation that Gizelle and I had multiple times so I felt like it was a little ‘got ya’ moment.”
She also highlighted that “Wendy instigated it.” From her comments, the biggest issue she had with the argument is that she and Gizelle had already resolved their beef.
Finally, the Bravo star responded to fans who feel that she’s created issues with everyone on the cast. According to her, “I will respond by saying at the end of the day, guys, my issues are always valid. Whether you see the full story or not. Sometimes you gotta see a person’s journey. I think people also have to realize they’re watching me as a housewife, so there are other sides.”
She went on, “I’m not always gonna be nice. I’m not always gonna talk to you nice, but I don’t start things. I will bring you the facts after we address it, but I don’t normally like to think that I start things, and I think even with the Stacey of it all, at the end of the day, we’re all on TV, we’re all trying to have a moment, we’re all trying to have a conversation.”
