The drama is already heating up in Potomac, and season 8 of RHOP hasn’t even premiered yet!
It’s no secret that Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon are never reasonable but always shady so it’s not surprising that they had to share their two cents on the recent cheating rumors going around about Candiace Dillard‘s husband, Chris Bassett.
On their Reasonably Shady podcast, Robyn and Gizelle said that they believe there is no doubt that “something happened” between Chris Bassett and his alleged mistress because of the receipts provided.
“I’ve seen enough,” Robyn quipped.
She continued: “I know people are probably gonna try to say, ‘Oh, we need more proof. You know we need more proof.’ I’ve seen an, I’ve seen enough to kind of know that something was done that wasn’t supposed to happen.”
Robyn didn’t stop there. She then called out these “stupid men,” including her own husband, Juan Dixon, for “entertaining these thirsty women.”
“I mean, these guys are so stupid. Like, why do they even entertain these women? And when I say guys, I’m speaking for my own as well. Why do they entertain these thirsty women who are fans?”
Gizelle agreed, noting that she believes some of these men, minus Juan, are “miserable” and “need attention.”
“I’m not gonna talk about Juan, but I’m just gonna say, some of these guys are miserable. Unhappy at home. They need attention.”
Naturally, Candiace caught wind of Gizelle and Robyn’s shady ass comments, forcing her to clap back at them on Twitter.
The 37-year-old RHOP star called out Robyn and Gizelle for plotting against her family instead of focusing on their own “pay-for-hire boyfriends” and “cheating husbands.”
Candiace tweeted:
“If you would just shut the fuck up and worry about your boyfriends for hire and cheating husbands, you wouldn’t have to post “proof“ that you weren’t behind yet another plot against someone’s family. Once again, the people of God are tired.”
As AllAboutTRH previously reported, a source recently alleged that Chris has a mistress and has been cheating on his wife with her for the past six months.
Earlier this month, Tasha K of Unwine With Tasha K alleged:
Just in on my desk! #RHOP’s #CandiceDillard’s Husband #ChrisBasset, alleged Mistress of 6 months, just sent me nude photos of what appears to be #CandiceDillard’s Husband and abortion paperwork for the mistress! According to the mistress, the abortion was had weeks ago! The Alleged Mistress is HeartBroken and was under the influence when we spoke for hours today via FaceTime and Instagram!
This rumor popped up just months after Chris was the subject of unsubstantiated gossip perpetuated on season 7 of RHOP.
If you recall, Gizelle claimed that Chris made her “completely uncomfortable” during a one-on-one conversation at the RHOP season 6 reunion. Ashley Darby then pilled on by claiming that Chris sent her an inappropriate Instagram message late at night. Then Ashley’s friend Deborah Williams subsequently claimed that Chris hit on her at Karen Huger‘s Spring Fling party.
Chris and Candiace both denied the allegations. Instead, they accused their RHOP cast members of painting a negative picture of Chris for the sake of a storyline on the show. Candiace also said her RHOP co-stars were jealous of her happy marriage and that they were doing anything and everything to remain relevant on the show.
In August 2018, Chris and Candiace tied the knot in Washington, D.C. The RHOP couple met in 2015 while working at a D.C.-based restaurant where Chris was her manager. By 2016, the two were attached at the hip and ready to build a life together.
After almost two years of dating, the 44-year-old chef proposed to the future RHOP star in May 2017. In November 2020, the RHOP couple purchased a $1.1 million six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
Since then, Chris and Candiace have worked on growing their blended family. Candiace has frozen her eggs in order to ensure she and Chris can have their own children in the future. Currently, Candiace is a step-mom to Chris’ two kids from a previous relationship.
