Gizelle Bryant stands by her actions.
“Real Housewives of Potomac” star Gizelle Bryant is already starting on the wrong foot with the Season 9 newbies. As we reported, Gizelle and Ashley Darby planned a GNA event to raise funds for the National Brain Tumor Society. Gizelle’s father passed away from brain cancer. So she wanted to raise money to help those who are impacted by the deadly disease. Gizelle invited all of the ladies to the event. Karen Huger had an event on the same day. She was set to receive an award for her charitable works. Despite this, Karen encouraged the group to attend both events. To no surprise, this didn’t sit well with Gizelle. So Gizelle wanted to see who would show up for her.
Newbie Stacey Rusch, Mia Thornton, and her friend Jassi Rideaux planned to support both events. Wendy Osefo and Keairna Stewart chose to support Karen. This wasn’t surprising considering what happened at the last GNA event they attended. Keiarna was assaulted by Ashley’s former friend Deborah Williams. She has since sued Debra for the incident. During last season’s reunion, Gizelle originally blamed Keiarna, Wendy, and Candiace Dillard-Bassett for the brawl.
When Stacey, Mia, and Jassi showed up three minutes after the time Ashley told them to get there; Gizelle immediately had security kick them out.
In the upcoming episode, the fallout from Gizelle’s actions will be front and center. During a preview, Jassi has a tense moment with Ashley.
Gizelle sends Ashley to Jassi’s sprinter to collect donations from the ladies they just had kicked out of the fundraiser. The goal to raise $15,000 is something Gizelle wants to happen regardless. When Ashley asks for the money, Jassi tells Ashley to get lost. She seemingly tries to close the sprinter door while Ashley stands in the way. Ashley reacts to this and accuses Jassi of “harassment.” Jassi responds by telling Ashley she has bags under her eyes, “Goodnight, Ashley! Go to bed! You got bags! Bye-bye!”
Mia Thornton is done with Gizelle Bryant.
Mia drags Gizelle once Ashley exits, “**** her. I don’t want to do coffee, tea.”
She continues, “I don’t want to decorate her tacky *** house. I don’t want to do **** with her, okay? **** Willy Wonka *** furniture. Nasty, nasty woman.”
Hours later, Stacey invites the ladies over to discuss the drama. Jassi and Ashley make it to Stacey’s before Karen. They discuss the sprinter situation. Jassi says, “Well, Ashley I do want to say that although you were not welcomed in my sprinter, I am sorry that the door closed on you…”
Ashley responds, “I’m a little sore today, actually Jassi.”
Jassi isn’t having it, “You’re not because I reenacted it and was glad to know it actually closes quite softly…”
Ashley feels Jassi took it too far, “You tried to close the door but it opened, thankfully, not that you knew it would.”
After Jassi says she knew the door wouldn’t close, Ashley calls her actions rude.
“That type of stuff is really ******* rude.”
Does Mia even have a house. Weren’t her and G homeless.
Ashley should have been fired years ago. I like Jassi and Stacey already.
