On the most recent episode of RHOP, Candiace had a war of words with both Charrisse and Gizelle.
And it’s all because she felt they made some shady comments about her fiance, mother and engagement ring.
Candiace has been very vocal about the fact that her mother helps her out financially, and this led to Gizelle questioning what else her mother pays for in addition to half of the mortgage.
Charrisse later asked if Candiace’s mother bought her engagement ring. Candiace said her fiance Chris bought the ring on his own but later went off on Charrisse about it after Monique told her that Gizelle and Charrisse needed to be checked.
Interestingly enough, in her Bravo blog, Monique claims Candiace overreacted.
Here’s what she had to say.
BravoTV.com: What did you think about Charrisse asking if Candiace’s mom bought her wedding ring? Was it a shady b**** moment?
Monique Samuels: When Charrisse asked Candiace if her mom purchased her wedding ring, I knew it was innocent fun. Charrisse wasn’t trying to be shady. It was evident that she was making a joke based on the fact that Candiace’s mom does a lot for her.
I thought the joke was hilarious. It reminds me of how me and my close girlfriends joke together — it’s never meant to be harmful but to make light of the given situation. My only concern was that if Candiace took offense to this, she should’ve made it known at that very moment.
BravoTV.com: What’s your take on this battle between Candiace, Charrise, and Gizelle? What are your thoughts about the whole argument in the car and lunch?
MS: I honestly thought that Candiace was over Charrisse and Gizelle’s comments. When Ashley and I spoke to her the day we went shopping, I stressed to Candiace that she needed to let the comments go since she did laugh along, and next time that she felt any shade coming her way, she should address it right then and there. I had no idea Candiace was still bothered — otherwise, I would have never brought it up.
I personally needed a break from drama and really wanted to enjoy our girls’ trip. I had no interest in the conversation on the bus or at lunch; I was enjoying my food and trying to tune them out! It was like Christopher and Milani arguing over who took the other’s toy!
The other ladies seem to notice Monique’s involvement in Candiace’s actions and address her on the upcoming episode. Check out the preview below.
In related news, Karen has a bone to pick with Gizelle. On the upcoming episode, she tells Gizelle that she needs to apologize to Ray for all the shady comments she’s made about him in the past.
Gizelle agrees to this but Karen ends up checking Robyn when she tries to interject.
Candiace is too naive to see Monique played her.
I just that dumb girl Candice to go on wherever she is going, she talks to much and now you wanna call someone on your big mouth, you are a girl, i’ll go one better you act like a child, get over yourself.
Monique flip flopping tail smh
I’m sorry but Karen is my favorite. She really makes the show.
Robyn is the original Candiace. She’s a puppet for Gizelle just like Candiace is a puppet for Monique.
Funny how Monique said Ashley is a fake friend when she’s clearly a fake friend herself to Candiace. Sis literally riled Candiace all the way up just to say she overreacted. Terrible.
Now watch Monique switch it up at the reunion. She lies a lot too.
Yeah, Monique definitely put the bug in Candiace’s ear but Candiace needs to be smart about this. It’s her first season. You want to make as many alliances as possible. People have to want to film with you or they can ice you out. She’s not playing her cards right.
To be fair Monique did tell Candiace that when she senses shade, she needs to catch it and throw it back. Not wait and address it later when she knows it bothered her. And I agree with that. Candace should have said something from day one. Now she looks try hard.
