The entire cast of The Real Housewives of Potomac was uncomfortable with how Chris Bassett handled his wife, Candiace Dillard Bassett, during a heated argument. Candiace has not been making it easy for her husband, who often finds himself between a rock and a hard place. The two are still newlyweds and trying to figure their life out, but it seems they may not be on the same page at all when it comes to handling a heated discussion.
Bravo fans were sure that Candiace would have learned her lesson from last season after she and Monique Samuels came head to head. Candiace is known for her constant verbal jabbing as it often finds her in trouble. Even though she sees no wrong in her attitude, multiple cast members have pointed out her issue. Thanks to the arrival of Mia Thornton, Candiace has found a new person to direct her anger toward. Candiace once again fought dirty as she insulted Mia's mother. With Mia's mother being a recovering addict, fans and housewives felt Candiace hit an all-time low.
On the RHOP: After Show, multiple ladies, including Gizelle Bryant, Ashely Darby, and Robyn Dixon, voiced their concerns saying they felt "uneasy" and "uncomfortable" with how Chris tried to restrain his wife. The Real Housewives of Potomac season 6 has been very dramatic, with the dinner topping it all off. The Grand Dame, Karen Huger, surmised that Chris acted out of embarrassment and was trying to help his wife to calm down. Gizelle noted that she didn't like that he tried to keep Candiace in her seat, saying, "it was just a little too much for me."
Gizelle shared with fans that while Candiace can get a bit out of control at times, she didn't feel the answer was to sit on her. Fans will recall that Chris got loud and handsy when trying to control Candiace's outburst. Ashley revealed that she was left stunned by how quickly Chris stood up. The mother of two pointed out that Candiace is still very much an adult even though Chris was talking to her like a child. It was clear that none of the women enjoyed watching the marital interaction.
Candiace had her own take, noting that alcohol likely played a part. The former beauty queen acknowledged that Chris was just trying to protect her from becoming so heated. Even though he failed at calming her down, he did a great job at riling up the other women. The ladies of the Potomac are hoping an incident like that does not occur again.
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs Sunday at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
