Monique Samuels thought she was treated unfairly during her final season on RHOP.
Monique Samuels‘ departure from “Real Housewives of Potomac” was very controversial. Her last season on the show was very polarizing. She got into an altercation with Candiace Dillard. And since she got physical with Candiace first, a good bit of the cast put their support behind Candiace. In fact, they didn’t even want to film scenes with Monique anymore. However, Karen Huger and Ashley Darby continued to film with Monique.
Interestingly enough, Monique said the last straw for her was what went down at the reunion. She feels as if she and Chris Samuels were treated unfairly. And other cast members like Gizelle Bryant were protected by edits.
Monique also took issue with the rumors about her marriage being discussed by the cast. It was rumored that Monique had an affair with her trainer. And the rumor that upset her the most involved people saying her youngest son isn’t Chris’ child.
Although Monique vehemently denied the rumors, she still felt like the damage had already been done. And her marriage was under attack. So she and Chris decided it was time to walk away from the show.
Andy Cohen has expressed he’d like for Monique to return to RHOP, however, she’s made the move to OWN. Monique and Chris are main cast members on “Love & Marriage: DC.” It’s the first spinoff of “Love & Marriage: Huntsville.”
OWN riled people up on Twitter.
According to Monique, she decided it would be a good move because she and Chris could show more sides to themselves on this show. They didn’t feel like they could on RHOP.
Well, it appears as if OWN is happy to have the couple join their network. In fact, Monique was labeled as the queen of reality television on OWN’s Twitter account.

The tweet was a controversial one. Some people slammed the network for giving Monique the title. Others questioned why OWN would want Monique on LAMDC after her altercation on RHOP. However, there are many who are just happy to see Monique and Chris back on television.
Umm she’s definitely not the queen. But I think the purpose of this tweet was to trigger people and increase engagement.
Exactly! That tweet has now reached more people that it would have reached if they would have just said that Monique will be on the show
I like Monique but this is a reach.
Nene, Tiffany (New York), and Tami have a better argument for this title. Love Monique though!
Who takes titles seriously unless you’re actually royalty?
I think it was just a play on words to advertise a new show. I will be happy to see this family return to tv.
Hopefully the dramas will not overshadow the couples. No childish shenanigans because I had enough with Huntsville.
Monique is so fake,I truly can’t stand her or FOREHEAD her husband! She thinks she is better than everyone! Bipolar Monique is only the queen of bullsh-t! I won’t be watching!
LAMH is just so negative and draining now. Nothing but catfighting and high school drama between the women. And the husbands are just as messy. I had no idea the show would turn into this when I was watching the first season. So I don’t have high expectations for the spinoff. I’ll give it a chance. I just think too many of these reality shows are exhausting to watch now.
This is very true! I will say Monique didn’t do anything different than what the RHOA and RHONJ have done (I.e flipping tables, kicking people in the stomach, yanking a ponytail, throwing drinks on people and how many people has Porsha beat up? It would’ve been different if Monique actually kicked Candice’s a-s! She pulled her d-mn hair!
I am just HAPPY to see Monique back on our tv’s.I LOVE Mo but i think TIFFANY (NEW YORK) has EARNED the QUEEN title.
So happy Monique is back where she can shine, RHOP didn’t give her a fair chance and then with her hair pulling with Candiance, Gizelle, Robin and Wendy iced her out and Andy didn’t treat her fair either. So I hope that Carlos treats her well and that she shines and shows what her true self.
I truly did not care for the show last night. And that awful mop on her head was horrible.I don’t think I be watching she’s to phony acting on this show. I liked her better on HW of Potomac.
I’m glad to have Monique back she went through all of that about Candance because Candance started it and when the fire got hot she wanted to play the victim role she wasn’t the victim when she was doing all that talking. I dislike Candance she is nothing but a bully. So I’m glad Monique and her husband is back on TV and on a new network.
