Wendy Osefo and Gizelle Bryant have moved on.
“Real Housewives of Potomac” fans had a lot of complaints about Season 8. For many, the chemistry was off. Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon had separate issues with Candiace Dillard Bassett and Wendy Osefo. Gizelle expressed that she didn’t want to be around Wendy or Candiace at the height of the tension. Andy Cohen spoke on the cast’s lack of chemistry at the reunion. He said RHOP had become hard to watch because the women struggled to move past their disagreements. After the reunion aired in full, Candiace and Robyn confirmed their exits. While Robyn was not asked back, Candiace quit to focus on her pregnancy.
With Robyn and Candiace out, some wondered how things would play out between Gizelle and Wendy. Interestingly enough, Wendy and Gizelle are actually on much better terms. While some RHOP fans are happy both women were able to hash out their issues, some are critical of Wendy. They suspect Wendy made peace with Gizelle because she wanted her approval.
Wendy was asked about this during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Brice Sander asked, “So what do you say to people who maybe even at the end of the day after they watch the whole journey are still gonna be like, Wendy always wanted Gizelle’s approval? This is so fake and phony. What is your message to that crop of people?”
Wendy answered, “I don’t have a message to them because that means that they wanted to think that anyway. If you can’t watch this season with the evidence laid out in front of you to see that’s actually not what happened, I think that you just want the situation to be a certain type of way. Furthermore, from my understanding, this is something that reflects natural friendships, right? And if you are at odds with anyone, you have conversations and you decide if you move forward or not.”
She continued, “And I also would ask people to go back to Season 5, when I came on. We were once friends. I remember there was a time when Gizelle outside the camera, invited me to her 50th birthday party. And I was in attendance at her 50th birthday party. So I say all that to say yes, we have issues. We definitely had huge issues. But baby, you have to have conversations. There has to be accountability. Things have to happen. And then you move from there.”
Fun shade was thrown at the end of the clip.
Brice asked Wendy, “Can you share what is it about Gizelle in this new incarnation you enjoy because it was so tense for so long?”
Wendy responded, “Well, I’ll tell you I still don’t enjoy her fashion. So we can just leave it there, okay?

It was in the best interest of the show for them to make up. It’s common sense.
