On the most recent episode of RHOP, Charrisse made it clear that she doesn’t like the fact that Monique has been making use of her connections.
Robyn Dixon and Gizelle Bryant even feel like Monique has been befriending Charrisse’s friends to elevate her status in Potomac.
But Monique feels that she’s the one who has been the most used.
She had the following to say in her Bravo blog:
BravoTV.com: What do you think about Gizelle and Robyn saying that you’re using Charrisse?
MS: Using Charrisse for what exactly? This is truly mind boggling. I’ve never reached out to her to gain access to anything or anyone. When I first moved to Potomac, I would ask Charrisse for the basics, such as, what vet you use for your dogs, what restaurants are good nearby, or where to get manicures. Whenever I had gatherings at my home, I would invite her and she did the same for me. Our relationship has always been 50/50. I’m familiar with her friends from the gatherings in the same way she’s familiar with my entire family that visit and gather at my home. I honestly feel the most used! Charrisse was my BFF when her circle of friends were putting her down and creating “fireman” lies. Now that she’s back in their good graces, she no longer needs me.
As for Charrisse, she did not hesitate to call Monique out in her Bravo blog.
BravoTV.com: Tell us about feeling that Monique might be using you – especially hearing Robyn and Gizelle say the same thing.
CJJ: When Monique and I became close I honestly felt like it was a genuine friendship. I considered her my little sister. We became close quickly. Robyn, Gizelle, and others would constantly tell me to be careful with Monique because they felt that the friendship wasn’t real and that she was only utilizing me for my contacts and connections. I am a connector. I am that girl that loves helping others get acclimated and doesn’t mind sharing anything that I have including my friends. Monique wants to convince people that I have an issue with her becoming friends with Kyndall. That’s not only childish but it’s not even in the spectrum of my issues with Monique. Quite frankly, she and Kyndall are similar and make great friends. Neither of them cares about how their actions affect other people and focus selfishly on themselves. Monique and Kyndall were more obsessed with trying to get at Gizelle which neither of them are capable of. Monique is very concerned about her reputation (but could careless about anyone else) but has no problem trying to bring down the reputation of others. The mere fact that she is trying to turn this into a friendship issue……My suggestion to Mrs. Samuels would be for her to learn how to be a real friend first.
I don’t understand why Charrisse is surprised. Monique is thirsty for fame. Did she really think Mo wanted a genuine friendship with her? Mo has like one or two real girlfriends. She mainly spends her time with family. She is just playing the game so she can get some clout and more opportunities. I look at her and see another Porsha. She’s a young and pretty opportunist who saw a professional athlete as the ultimate come up. She’s so thirsty she told her brother to start her fan page. Charrisse should have have known better.
Oh Charrisse please! The purpose of introducing your friends to each other is so they can connect and possibly become friends too! She is too old to be so immature. She needs to stop letting Gizelle and Robyn get in her head. And Monique is right. She was Charrisse’s only friend last season. How quickly she forgot!
I’m kind of surprised that this is the reason Charrisse and Monique stopped being friends. I thought the reason would be way more scandalous. I do think Monique’s ultimate goal is to be the face of the show like NeNe Leakes. That’s the real reason she doesn’t care for Gizelle.
Okay so Monique is only cool with Karen and Candiace now. Sis needs to understand how to play this housewives game. Pretty soon, she won’t be cool with anyone and won’t be on the show anymore.
It’s pretty obvious imo that Monique is just trying to take down Gizelle. Kyndall is being used by Monique and Karen to do just that. It’s not going to work though. LOL.
I actually loved Charrisse and Mo’s friendship. I hope they can be friends again but in order for that to happen, Charrisse would have to get over herself and I don’t see that ever happening. Any sane and mature grown woman would want her friends to be friends.
