Monique Samuels is being called out by Love & Marriage: DC fans who feel like the new show is amplifying her flaws and marital woes. Monique and Chris Samuels returned to reality television after a two-year hiatus, following her dramatic end on The Real Housewives of Potomac. The new show catches up with the Samuels as they near their 10-year wedding anniversary. However, any issues that Monique and Chris had that went unnoticed on RHOP are taking center stage on LAMDC, since the show focuses on the ups and downs of married couples.
Monique went out with a bang before leaving RHOP in season 5. She appeared on the show for three seasons before making her exit, and shared her at-home life with Chris and their children. Fans got to see Monique and Chris welcome their third child and get through the rift Monique had with Chris's mother. Fans can recall Chris' mom bragging about setting her daughter-in-law straight. Unfortunately, instead of using Monique's name, Mama Chris called her a "heifer." By the time Monique exploded at her castmates, the drama stemmed from cheating rumors surrounding her. While many women were gossiping, Monique took aim at Candiace Dillard Bassett until the two exchanged blows in a messy hair-pulling fight at a ranch.
Now that Monique is no longer a housewife and doesn't have the Green-Eyed Bandits outperforming her when it comes to being shady, viewers are able to get a full visual of Monique's imperfections. With three episodes in on the new LAMDC show, fans are calling out Monique for how she treats Chris when the cameras are rolling. Many took to Twitter to shade the former housewife for all of the claims she made after exiting RHOP. "It’s wild to me that Monique thinks RHOP portrayed her in a bad light when she and Chris 1000% look even worse and more unhinged on LAMDC," Bez 184 said. Viewers of both shows agreed that Monique seemingly went after Candiace and appeared eager to get physical with her over an issue that could have (and should have been) worked out through an adult conversation.
Another fan noted how, after leaving RHOP, Monique claimed that "she had “reality show PTSD,'” but called her out for returning after two years. "Maybe she thought she could control this narrative," they added. With LAMDC highlighting Monique and Chris's real-life marital woes, it brings the attention back to the issues the couple had on RHOP. On the new show, Monique complained about Chris' communication and demanded more from him. While Chris appeared apologetic, and didn't want to fight with his wife, Monique didn't care if they were in front of the other couples (or even their own children). She will voice her frustration, no matter what.
Her onscreen behavior has her under fire, as plenty of viewers think that Monique has been the issue in her marriage, but managed to go unnoticed on RHOP because of all the drama within the cast. With Love & Marriage: DC focusing on the ups and downs of married couples, Monique and Chris' issues will be amplified for all to see. It'll be hard for Monique to have her marital woes and personal flaws overlooked by a shady duo of green-eyed BFFs. This time around, all eyes are on Monique, and some viewers aren't liking what they're seeing.
