Jamal hasn’t made his daughters secure about him getting back together with Gizelle.
Gizelle Bryant didn’t get the reaction she wanted from her daughters about her reconciliation with Jamal Bryant. On a past episode of “Real Housewives of Potomac,” Gizelle learned that their daughters worry that Jamal could hurt her again. They are fully aware that Jamal cheated on Gizelle and this ruined the marriage.
On the upcoming episode, Gizelle gets real about how she feels about all of this.
While talking to her close friend and hairstylist Cal, Gizelle says, “They’re so protective of me. They understand from a child’s perspective Daddy hurt Mommy. And I think that they’re a little terrified that you know, if he would ever do something bad again, what would that do to the family?”
She adds, “I’m like Cal, that kind of like hurt my feelings because in my mind I’m like you know I’ve been with guys in the past. Let’s take Sherman for instance, and they’d be like, ‘Ooh Sherman! We love Sherman!’ I want them to have that same, ‘Oh we love Dad!’”

#TBT It was all so simple then, can’t wait until we all feel safe & free again #FamBam ❤️
Gizelle breaks down in tears as Cal gives his thoughts.
Cal then explains why Jamal won’t get the Sherman treatment, “But you know that’s not how life works. Why wouldn’t your kids feel like that? You said from your kids’ perspective, Jamal hurt their mother. What is your perspective? Did he hurt your feelings?”
Gizelle answers yes. And Cal tells her that she’s never really admitted to him that she was hurt by Jamal cheating on her. In response, she says, “Okay, yeah. Well, let’s back up. Is what Jamal did, was that tremendously devastating to me? Abso freaking lutely. Of course, I was hurt. But have I moved on from it? Yes, that was 12 years ago.”
Cal then gives her some advice, “I think it’s great what you’re saying. But the reality is so many things have happened…but your kids had to see Jamal in an unflattering way on social media, on the web, they have been conditioned to believe that maybe my dad isn’t trustworthy. And I think at their age, they have a right to feel that way. You guys have to make up for those 12 years because they’re going to feel a certain way. You can’t just think that in one year it’s going to be over because that’s still in their head, you know what I mean? But you have to live your life. But if you lead with love, your kids will see through that.
