Wendy Osefo and Nneka Ihim are clashing amid the new season of RHOP.

Real Housewives of Potomac” fans have a lot to say about the recent episode on social media amid the introduction of Nneka Ihim. Ashley Darby kicked the drama off by meddling. As we reported, Ashley told Wendy Osefo that Nneka approached her to discuss rumors. However, the producers showed that it was Ashley who brought up the rumors to Nneka. She questioned if Nneka knew anything about the reports that were alleging Wendy’s family was Osu. Nneka said that the Osu were looked at as the outcasts in the Nigerian community. And she had no idea if Wendy and her family were Osu or not.

Ashley also told Wendy that Nneka shaded her about her PhD. However, producers showed that Nneka asked what Wendy had a doctorate in. She then repeated that Wendy is a Doctor of Philosophy. She didn’t intend it as a dig.

After Ashley realized she totally misconstrued Nneka’s words, she went to Wendy to attempt to set things straight. And she explained that Nneka didn’t say anything shady about Wendy at all. One too many drinks made Ashley “misremember” what was said. While Ashley insists she was messy on accident, Candiace Dillard Bassett thinks her actions were intentional.

Well, Nneka did have some messy words to say about Wendy during a conversation with Robyn Dixon. She alleged that she was told that Wendy told people that Nneka was using her name to get into the group. And Wendy’s mom allegedly told people that she was going to curse Nneka with her “shrine.”

Wendy Osefo is disappointed.

Some RHOP fans accused Nneka of encouraging ignorance and xenophobia with her comments. It turns out Wendy shared the same perspective in an interview with TV Line.

The reporter asked, “So in the trailer, Wendy, the new cast member Nneka is coming for your mom and said that sheā€™s submitting names to shrines.”

She continued, “Can you unpack this for us?”

Wendy answered, “No, I canā€™t because I pray to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and so does my mom. And if you get a copy of my memoir which I released last year, ā€˜Tears of My Mother: The Story of My Legacy, Nigerian,ā€™ I talk about how growing up my mother didnā€™t have much to give us as a single mother. But what she did give us is the power of prayer. And as a woman who is so devout in her faith, her Catholic upbringingā€¦to have such malicious accusations accused of her really is disheartening.”

She added, “And itā€™s sad that itā€™s coming from someone who is a fellow Nigerian to use what I call Xenophobic tropes that as immigrants we often grew up with when we were younger. Itā€™s hurtful. And I wish her well. I hope she got the attention she was craving.”

Candiace said she’s trying to stay open-minded about Nneka.

“I donā€™t like to jump the gun. I had a lot of issues with the way she came for Wendy, especially when she came for Wendyā€™s mother. But I donā€™t really know her. So Iā€™m over here on the side just watching. And I would really want to see her properly reconcile with Wendy.”

  1. It’s really sad what Nneek is doing šŸ˜•. She really needs attention šŸ˜• And of course Robyn would eat it up to take the spotlight from here. She’s just needs to concern herself with her cheating husband šŸ˜’

    1. Yes she does, want to be in that crew. I assume she does not know that ROBIN
      is the biggest fool on that show. Any woman that overlooks her husbands out front WHOREISH way is a MAD DUMD IDIOT that has no self worth ROBIN DIXON IS A POOR REPRESENTATION OF A WOMAN
      and she chooses to be . THATS WHATS SO TRAGIC AIR HEAD IN ITS FINEST

  2. Not Candiace talking about coming for someoneā€™s mom?!!!!! Good day & goodbye. She should just sit down, have several seats and donā€™t say another word, especially when she came for Miaā€™s mom a couple seasons back. These so-called ā€œprofessional womenā€ are nothing.

  3. I have grown tired of Candice, Ahe is not the same, her ugliness and soulless self has come out.
    She is a snake just like ASHLEY

  4. Ashley does not have many intellectual capabilities. However, she’s highly skilled at using her body and whatever else she has in her arsenal to get a man and staying relevant. Wendy and the new women are both extremely accomplished in their own right. Wendy was absolutely correct in telling Mia….basically your brains are in your ass and at the level I’m functioning you nor dim Witt Ashley will never be there. Candiace might be alot of things but she got Wendy’s back and I can appreciate that. Ms. Nneka is doing too much already and Robyn is by all accounts brain is on pause so chatting her up ….Gizelle. Robin. Charisse. and Mia are not the sharpest knives in the box
    They just learned how to play realty TV show game for paychecks they all need.

    Wendy, Candidace, Karen, and the new woman should she last operate.on another level where they know I have to have an exit plan that leaves my pockets full when thus ship docks

    1. Again, I agree with you Sephora59.

      I hope the price of dignity and respect is worth it for all of these ladies. I can take these reality shows or leave them. I’m not rushing to see them nor am I going back to watch them.

      =They have become distasteful to me and it’s sad.
