Wendy Osefo and Candiace Dillard feel backlash is rooted in colorism?
Candiace Dillard doesn’t think that the “Real Housewives of Potomac” cast receives the same amount of criticism. In fact, she thinks fans are harder on dark-skinned women. She expressed this during last season’s drama. She clashed hard with then-newbie Mia Thornton. After Mia came for Candiace’s music video, Candiace responded with a “yo momma.” Some cast members said Candiace crossed the line since Mia’s mother is a recovering addict. However, Candiace made the statement before she knew about Mia’s mother. So she suspected the backlash was rooted in colorism.
Wendy Osefo warned the cast to be mindful of colorism. She told Ashley Darby that calling a dark-skinned woman aggressive was problematic.
Well, the colorism conversation started again once the trailer for the upcoming season went viral. The scene that sparked the conversation is the blowup between Wendy and Mia. Mia threw her drink in Wendy’s face. However, months ago, it was rumored that it was Wendy who threw the drink. So some RHOP fans dragged Wendy on social media over this. Now Wendy and fans are feeling like Mia isn’t getting anywhere near the same amount of criticism.
One Twitter user wrote, “They’re already saying Wendy deserved a drink thrown at her. The laps people run to defend these light skin women on this show. #rhop”
In response, Wendy tweeted, “I vividly remember the outrage when people falsely assumed I threw a glass. Now, we all see the truth and magically the outrage disappears. How convenient #RHOP”
Candiace tweeted, “I’m also excited to see what (brown paper bag) acrobatics are used to defend certain deplorable behaviors by certain sects of the viewership.”
She also wrote, “How convenient,” in response to Wendy’s tweet.
Good let them do it and hopefully they will be removed from the show. I’m tired of them anyways.
Just stop Wendy. People assumed it was you because you act so nasty and miserable half the time. Mia doesn’t come across as nasty. And as a dark skin woman I’m not saying colors and does not exist some people just don’t like you
Maybe that people just don’t like Candice and Wendy? Do either of them or their stans, think it could be that they are not likeable people?
NOPE it’s exactly what they hinted!!!
I believe there is colorism at play because the things that Ashley can get away with Candice can’t. Ashely and Robyne do SOME of the same nasty stuff !
I mean I guess we’re supposed to pretend like Robyn and Gizelle aren’t the two most hated on the entire show. And Wendy started to build a fanbase by falling out with both of them. About half of the fan base hates Ashley as well. And I find that if you hate Ashley, you love Candiace. Every cast member has haters. With that being said, people ignore the bad things their faves do every day. That’s why you shouldn’t take reality shows so seriously. Everyone is biased. So just enjoy the entertainment.
SIGH….not the color issue again. Come on you knew who and what the Green eyed bandits were about when yall both came on the show. They have stank attitudes and aint loyal to nobody..not even each other (Gizzy). Just stop it with this foolishness,,,(not saying colorism is foolishness but how many season we gonna ride that horse Bravo?) but hey, I guess if thats how you both get your coins….sheesh
Whew chile! Let’s stop crying wolf about colorism because this is not it. Wendy and Candace have historically had problems with people on the past seasons . They even teamed up with the green bandit to push Monique to the limit and have her our. Monique even warned Candace that they will do the same. FUNNY. HOW. IT. IS. NOW. Now rumors about Candace’s marriage and wendy is still the target. They were so hateful to continue to spread mess that was not even true and Candace even teamed with with messy charisse, but now it’s on them it’s a problem. Girl bye👋 Candace has been in a physical conflict on every season but she has gotten a pass with those crocodile tears. Mia has not shown to be a problem.Mia may mix up the conversation or boast about her businesses, as she should, but Mia only send when someone come for her. Try again with the colorism. Don’t be like OG. See where she is. You can’t be saying inflammatory things that are not true without consequences. So get big mad 😅
Spot on!!!! I personally don’t care for any of them…I REALLY liked Monique and since she has been gone I stopped watching!!!
If you have not experienced colorism than you can not speak on it. It shows a lot on how some people are treated within the race on the show. Why can’t we US and be ok with it? Did they call Robyn aggressive? Or Ashley? It’s sad, because you see some more happier than others, and it’s not about how you look either.
I call bull crap. She’s just in overall nasty human being. Because someone calls you aggressive does not mean that it has to be associated with the color of your skin. You can make all kinds of snide remarks and throw all kinds of digs. But, when you seem to look for reasons to share your offensive remarks, but have no justification, it is what it is. Deal with it. Karma is reality.
