00:00Previously on The Real Housewives of Potomac.
00:05I'm very curious.
00:07Yes.
00:08As to what brought you over to wanting to be a drag king.
00:12I just really appreciate what drag means for so many people.
00:16And so I really want to be a part of that experience.
00:20In this group we have three divorces.
00:22It's not because of the show, is it?
00:24Greg is not 100% on board with being on television.
00:29I'm going to mediation on Monday.
00:31Okay.
00:32And I am choosing to be optimistic.
00:34He has several affairs with my wife.
00:36Now are you concerned that if you get a paternity test
00:38that it could show that your email's not mine?
00:40It's always a possibility.
00:42Oh, you had a paternity test?
00:44Mm-hmm.
00:45Tell me his father.
00:47The custody thing?
00:48Yeah.
00:49It doesn't exist.
00:50Paternity-wise, the baby is G.
00:53He's been lying this whole time, Karen.
00:56G told Ray that he had his son paternity test.
01:09You've known for quite some time that this is G's baby.
01:16That is what he said.
01:17He was very clear.
01:18Gordon may have known sooner, but I found out a week ago.
01:21Well, I'm not sure you're doing any of the things you're saying anymore.
01:23Okay.
01:24I'm not.
01:25Let me finish it.
01:26I don't have to prove myself to you.
01:27Let me finish it.
01:28I'm not finished.
01:29This is an ambush for Karen to hijack Ashley's event to attack Mia.
01:33It was just inappropriate.
01:35It felt mean-spirited, and that's just not right.
01:38That's not what friends do.
01:40This is not a vindictive moment.
01:42It's the right thing to do, and I'm going to do it.
01:44Stop exploiting our emotions.
01:46It's not okay.
01:48Period.
01:49You, in fact, knew when we were in Panama,
01:51and you were painting him like a duck.
01:53You can come at my character all you want.
01:55No, no, no, no.
01:56But I stand in my place.
01:57We haven't talked about your life.
01:58We haven't talked about your drunk driving.
02:00We haven't talked about you.
02:01Every man that decides to open his dick up to you.
02:04I don't think about that.
02:07This is too far to the left.
02:10This is too much.
02:11I want to go with it.
02:12I'm good.
02:13I got it.
02:14My God.
02:15Now that I have my package, I feel a little more prepared.
02:19How does it look?
02:21Is it good?
02:22You know what?
02:23I'm getting a little shocked.
02:26You look so good.
02:28You look like I don't need to coach you.
02:30I just want you to have as much fun as possible, for real.
02:33Okay.
02:34It's your show.
02:35Okay.
02:36Yeah.
02:37That's how I feel.
02:38I think we're ready.
02:39Let's get it.
02:40Let's get it.
02:41Where's the curtain?
02:42Somewhere.
02:43Somewhere.
02:44Okay.
02:45I'm about to do my first drag show.
02:46Yeah, we're ready.
02:47Don't leave.
02:48I don't need to be around anybody who's going to question my life
02:50and is not going to support me.
02:51F*** them.
02:52I don't know why Karen is choosing to say this tonight.
02:55I think it would be better if you clarify.
02:58Everybody is thinking you're a liar.
03:01I don't need to clarify anything when it comes to my children.
03:05Do you have to prove that Bella's father is her father?
03:08Do we have to clarify that Raymond is actually f***ing Ray?
03:11Because that s*** is questionable.
03:13One thing is I'm a quick study of the room,
03:16and Stacey's not supporting me.
03:18She's not saying stop.
03:19Don't say that to Karen.
03:21But no, she's gravitating toward Mia,
03:24which I am not a jealous woman.
03:26I'd just like to know what Mia has on Stacey.
03:28Karen didn't come to me like, oh, my God.
03:31Like, Ray met with you the other day.
03:34Did you say it's true?
03:35I think it is.
03:36Ray met with you the other day.
03:37Stacey, what side do you stand on?
03:40When you're talking about someone's children,
03:43you bring it to their mother.
03:44You don't bring it out in front of everybody.
03:46All right, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
03:49I'm sorry, I stand by that.
03:51♪♪♪♪
03:55Hey, ladies, Jazzy's here.
03:57I'm Jazzy.
03:58Jazzy!
04:01Hi there.
04:02Hi.
04:03Hi, I'm Kate.
04:04I'm Stacey.
04:05Nice to meet you.
04:06Nice to meet you.
04:07Everyone, this is Kate.
04:09Hi.
04:10Hi, how are you?
04:11Kate and I did a show together a while ago.
04:13Yes, I know Kate.
04:14I'm so excited for this show.
04:16Look, it's John.
04:17Look at you.
04:18How are you?
04:19How are you?
04:20♪♪♪♪♪
04:23I don't know whether you've met Ashley's new friend.
04:25Hey, John.
04:26I'm hugs.
04:27Very nice to meet you.
04:28This is Ashley's uncle.
04:30I heard a lot of good things about you.
04:31Really?
04:32Okay, so if you don't pass the uncle lump test,
04:33you're out of here.
04:34You're gone.
04:35You're gone.
04:36Understood.
04:37How are we doing?
04:38Yeah.
04:39Oh, you're getting f***ed up tonight.
04:43Me too.
04:44I have duct tape residue on my taint.
04:47This wig hurts.
04:48Listen, are we ready to have a good motherf***ing time?
04:52♪♪♪♪♪♪
05:17Are we motherf***ing ready for Ashley's drag debut?
05:20Give it up for Ash-T.
05:28Damn!
05:31Damn!
05:33♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
05:56I can't believe it.
05:57Ashley is so cute as a man.
06:00Yes!
06:01I might be attracted to Ash-T-O-P.
06:04Ashley finally put her little rock hard body to use.
06:09♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
06:29Oh my God, I think she's sexy.
06:32I thought she was going to be all prim and proper,
06:34but no, Karen wants it, as I knew she did.
06:37When the thing started doing a little swish, swish
06:39in front of the mom and the family,
06:41I'm like, I could never, but go Ashley.
06:44♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
06:52So first, I just want to say thank you
06:54to everyone who came tonight.
06:55It means a lot to me.
06:57I'm going home now.
06:58I've had my cherry pops.
07:00And I just thank you all so much.
07:02I feel so amazing.
07:04I finally did something that I've always wanted to do
07:06to pay homage to my bisexuality
07:08that I was really nervous to do.
07:10I was scared as hell.
07:11I'm turned on.
07:12You are?
07:13You're about to twist and twist in my...
07:15But when I tell you I have the best support system,
07:19they just love me and they support me so much.
07:23Hi babe.
07:24How are you?
07:25You did really good.
07:26Yeah, thank you.
07:27Yo, that beer froze in better than me.
07:30Josh got some major points this night.
07:33Feel my dick.
07:36That's crazy.
07:37Okay, guys, I got to go say hi to my friends real quick.
07:40When Ashley took her shirt off,
07:41I was like, what the...
07:44Oh my God!
07:45Hi friends.
07:46Can I surprise how great you were?
07:48Yeah, thank you.
07:49You did amazing.
07:50I just really love the craft.
07:52It's so fun to be able to express yourself.
07:55Karen, how do you feel?
07:56Do you feel like you like it?
07:57I feel, Ashley.
07:58You're my girl now.
07:59I just took you away from Jacqueline.
08:01Oh, officially.
08:03How are you guys doing?
08:04How are you guys doing?
08:05I haven't really seen you.
08:06We got to catch her alive.
08:07So, basically, Gordon told Ray
08:09that everything Mia has been telling us is all a lie.
08:11Gordon lies a lot.
08:12Gordon took a paternity test
08:14and Mia's son is his.
08:17Bitch, you're lying.
08:19All a lie.
08:20It's all a lie.
08:21So he's not crazy.
08:22He's not having episodes every five seconds.
08:24No, no.
08:25What's going on?
08:26Well, I...
08:27She attacked me.
08:28On his head?
08:29On his head.
08:30All day, all day.
08:31She's therapy.
08:34Coming up next...
08:35Gordon did text me about the paternity test.
08:39And he shared the results with me.
08:55Hey, how are you?
08:57Bryant.
08:58Oh, thank you.
08:59I love it.
09:00Okay.
09:01Appreciate it.
09:03Okay.
09:04These are cute.
09:09Hello.
09:10Look at you and all this wonderful gray.
09:12You smell good.
09:16Good morning.
09:17Who is this person?
09:19I love that you know me.
09:20Where's Ashton?
09:21Did I remind you of young Ray?
09:22Is that what it was?
09:23Is that what it was?
09:28Hey, guys.
09:29Oh, look at y'all.
09:30Look at...
09:31Hi.
09:32Hi.
09:33Look at you.
09:34How are you?
09:35Hey, sugar.
09:36I love this blue.
09:37Ash.
09:38Y'all see I'm the last person here.
09:39Hi, darling.
09:40How are you doing today?
09:41Do you have any questions about the menu so far?
09:43I would like the truffle Caesar.
09:45Yes.
09:46Yes.
09:48May I have the Branzino?
09:49The Branzino?
09:50Absolutely.
09:51You know what?
09:52I am going to get the Saga Special.
09:53Absolutely.
09:54Perfect.
09:55Okay, thank you.
09:56You can do the waffle.
09:57No problem.
09:58I'm sorry.
09:59I was...
10:00That was a late night for me.
10:01Yes.
10:02It was a lot, I thought.
10:03Mia was defaming my character the whole time,
10:05but I expected no less.
10:06Yes.
10:07Because not only does she lie with the truth about her life
10:11and make up all these fables and stories,
10:14you knew in Panama that your baby belonged to G
10:18and you didn't tell us.
10:19You don't think that's important?
10:20Especially because you brought this in
10:22and told us in the beginning.
10:23You tell us.
10:24You made us a part of it.
10:25You know, in meeting Mia in the beginning,
10:27I was totally bamboozled from her stories.
10:30I am now...
10:31Eyes wide open?
10:32Eyes wide open.
10:33Oh, thank you.
10:34But enough of her.
10:37I'm so happy that I had this moment
10:39to kind of chat with you ladies.
10:41I was kind of having, like, a rough day.
10:43Why?
10:44What happened?
10:45What are you onto, baby?
10:46So, me and Greg had, like, a very bad argument.
10:50It really is still bothering me.
10:52Yes.
10:53Come here.
10:54Come here.
10:55It's okay.
10:56You're at the right table.
10:57Go ahead and let it out.
10:59Just trying to live together is different, right?
11:02Yeah, it is.
11:03And then the biggest hammer on the head
11:05is being a part of this group.
11:07Okay.
11:08Oh, oh, oh.
11:09For me, it's important to me.
11:12Does he understand that?
11:15I don't think he sees it that way.
11:20I completely understand Greg's apprehension
11:22about Kiarna joining the show
11:23because it can be challenging
11:25putting your relationship out there
11:27for the world to see.
11:28And any faults in that foundation,
11:30believe me, baby,
11:31they will be exacerbated.
11:34He was just like,
11:35I've done all that I feel that I should do
11:39when it comes to supporting you.
11:41And what I don't want to do,
11:42I'm not going to do.
11:44Let me say this, Kay.
11:46You never want to be in a situation with a man
11:51that's supposed to be your supporter
11:53and he's not capable of doing that for you.
11:57You never want to have to dim your light
12:00for the relationship.
12:02And if he can't get on board with that,
12:05it's okay.
12:06Honey.
12:07How Greg makes her feel so small,
12:10that's a red flag right there
12:12because that's not going to change.
12:14This is kind of like tough love right now.
12:16If you were my daughter,
12:17I would be telling you,
12:19everything that you are,
12:21don't ever let a man take that from you.
12:23Ever.
12:24I really am hoping that Greg and I
12:26can work through this.
12:28But right now,
12:29we're totally at a standstill.
12:30So I think the most important part
12:32is for us to reevaluate
12:33if living together is the best decision for us
12:35or if we do need to then possibly
12:37move back into our own respective corners.
12:39So I want Greg to see it in my opinion too.
12:41Like, I have to accept things about his life
12:43that I'm always 100% on board for.
12:46So it's like,
12:47if this is the one thing
12:48that you have to like kind of support of me
12:50and that's such a problem.
12:51Right.
12:52And I can accept all.
12:55Girl!
12:56Freak!
12:57Girl, you preach to fly.
12:58Freak!
12:59Girl!
13:00That's it.
13:01That's what makes me look at things differently.
13:03Yes.
13:04That was deep.
13:05That was a sermon.
13:06Let me pass the plate.
13:07Where's the collection plate?
13:17Hi Mercedes.
13:19Can you call my ink?
13:26Hi baby.
13:28I can't wait to see you.
13:30All right.
13:31So I'm rolling all the way on the left-hand side.
13:34Nice to meet you.
13:40Hi there!
13:41What's up?
13:42Look at you.
13:43Oh, nice fit.
13:44What's going on?
13:46I miss you so much.
13:48I love you.
13:54You look so good.
13:56You look better.
13:58Tell me something good
13:59and then tell me something great.
14:00Yeah?
14:01Yeah.
14:02Okay, so the good news is
14:04the kids are having a play date at the TJ's.
14:08Great.
14:09We picking them up tonight?
14:10We are going to go pick them up tonight
14:11because Jeremiah asked about it.
14:13He wants to see you.
14:14Great.
14:15I want to take them to a game tomorrow.
14:16Okay, let's do it.
14:17That'll be fun.
14:18For sure.
14:22I don't know if you know or not,
14:24but Gordon did text me about the paternity test.
14:35I don't know if you know or not,
14:36but Gordon did text me about the paternity test.
14:42And saying something about
14:44he told you about the results
14:46a couple weeks ago
14:47and he hoped that you'd share the results with me.
14:50Here's my thing, right?
14:52I don't believe he took a test.
14:55Well, there are results in my inbox.
14:58It says that it's 99.9%,
15:00but at the same time,
15:01why is it that you want to go
15:04and get it done behind everybody's back
15:08and to be like, aha.
15:10I don't think that Gordon
15:13likes the fact that
15:14Ink wants to get a paternity test.
15:16So I think for him, he's saying,
15:19hey, this is my kid.
15:21Let it rest.
15:23Before I call Gordon, which I am.
15:29Yeah, you want to call him?
15:30Call Gordon?
15:31Mm-hmm.
15:32Why does Gordon have to be the priority
15:34every time we make a decision?
15:36You just said that you were going to call him.
15:38That's the only reason why I asked.
15:39Yeah, I said before I call him.
15:40I'm not feeling that at all.
15:43For the past year,
15:45you all have been operating without boundaries,
15:49taking a toll on us to a certain degree.
15:53Ink does wish that I was able
15:55to cut ties with Gordon completely,
15:58but, I mean, he's my kid's father.
16:01Anytime you're dealing with exes
16:04and, you know, trying to have new relationships,
16:08it's always going to be a little bit of a tangle web.
16:12I try to be nice, you know what I'm saying?
16:14Like, I'm a real respectful person,
16:16but how many times do you have to go through this
16:18before you do put boundaries and parameters in place?
16:21Like, I'm exhausted, you know?
16:24And I just don't want to do it anymore.
16:26Yeah.
16:36Come on in.
16:37Oh!
16:39Look at this sweetheart.
16:41Thanks, Saffron.
16:43Saffron.
16:45Oh, she is so sweet.
16:47We have Strap for Strays coming up,
16:50and so we're really excited
16:51to have you be a part of it this year.
16:53I have loved animals since I have been on this planet,
16:56and I'm an ambassador for the Humane Rescue Alliance,
17:00a wonderful organization
17:01bringing families together with animals.
17:04I'm super excited to be emceeing this year.
17:06I'm so honored.
17:07Oh, my girlfriend's here.
17:09Oh, my goodness.
17:10Right on time.
17:11This is Ashley Darby.
17:12Hello, nice to meet you.
17:13This is Erin.
17:14Hi, Erin.
17:15This is Kate.
17:16Yes.
17:17This is Saffron.
17:18So, because I love animals,
17:19I'm hosting a fashion show
17:20where we will be walking the runway
17:23with dogs that are available for adoption.
17:26Okay, that is so cute.
17:28Yes.
17:29Ashley and I have come a long way.
17:31You put your bunion on my marble countertops.
17:35You got nothing but bunions.
17:38But I bonded with Ashley because we have a lot in common.
17:41We are going through public divorces.
17:44I'm going to mediation on Monday,
17:46and I am choosing to be optimistic.
17:49I did have a conversation with my attorney,
17:51like you suggested.
17:52So, I'm happy to share this moment with Ashley
17:55because I really do consider Ashley a true friend.
17:58Maybe Ashley can pick out the puppy
18:00that she's walking with.
18:01Yeah.
18:02Want to go meet them?
18:03Sure.
18:05Hi, puppy.
18:06Oh, gosh, guys.
18:07I didn't know I liked puppies so much.
18:08Hi, puppy.
18:09You guys look very cute together.
18:11They do look cute together.
18:12Really cute.
18:13Okay, what do we think?
18:14Bubba T?
18:15Yeah, perfect match.
18:16All right.
18:17We'll give you some time.
18:19I love those faces.
18:20Do you like the idea?
18:21I love it.
18:22It's so cute.
18:23I'm planning to invite everyone to walk in the show.
18:26Okay, good.
18:27I like that.
18:28By the way, your hair looks so good.
18:30You know, you were doing the curly for a while.
18:31Now I'm feeling a little different.
18:33Different energy.
18:34Did something happen for you to have a little change
18:36in your hair routine?
18:37A little pep in your style?
18:38I had my mediation appointment, my second mediation appointment.
18:40Oh, how did it go?
18:41It went really well.
18:43I'm feeling good.
18:44One more appointment, and then it's a wrap.
18:46This is, like, so different for me.
18:48I'm like, damn, I was at my lawyer's office yesterday.
18:50Like, ugh.
18:51What's going on with you?
18:52You know, basically, we're still at a stalemate
18:55in relation to this confidentiality clause
18:57that Michael wants to implement.
18:59But my lawyer, she lit that match under my ass.
19:01Let's hash this out and get it done.
19:03How else am I gonna get you divorced?
19:04Otherwise, you're just gonna stay like this forever.
19:06That is the other option.
19:07By the end of next week,
19:09if we don't hear anything from Michael's lawyer,
19:11then I'm gonna have to file a public claim.
19:13A public claim, it's a public filing
19:15of why you're getting divorced,
19:16and it can do a vanilla claim or a spicy claim.
19:19So, you know, vanilla claim is, like,
19:21irreconcilable differences.
19:22Spicy claim is, mm, cheated on me, and da-da-da-da-da.
19:25It's definitely a more aggressive route.
19:27That could be damaging to both of our reputations.
19:30By the end of next week, and you're gonna stick to it?
19:33I am. I told her I'm in it to win it now.
19:35Like, I want to be free,
19:36and I want to be able to fully embrace
19:38the next chapter of my life, you know, so...
19:40That's how I feel in the middle of this divorce.
19:42I want to just get to the end so I can start my new life.
19:45I feel the exact same way.
19:46So that's why I waived my right to child support.
19:52Why'd you do that, babe?
19:53Why'd you do that, babe?
19:54Because I just don't feel that there's a need.
19:57What's your reason for wanting to waive child support
20:00but not the alimony?
20:01Well, I don't...
20:02Well, in terms of Arabella,
20:04he takes care of everything that she needs.
20:07Why would I need child support?
20:09Um, okay, what if he gets remarried?
20:12What? Did you think about all the scenarios?
20:14Well, even if he gets remarried,
20:15Arabella is still our daughter.
20:16I-I don't know, girl.
20:17This just doesn't feel right to me.
20:18So this is the right agreement for us.
20:21I just want to make sure that you think about the future.
20:24Before it's too late and you sign on that dotted line
20:26and you can't go back.
20:27As far as I know, Stacey is currently unemployed.
20:30So I think Stacey needs to make sure
20:32that she is financially taken care of
20:34because sometimes when you are divorcing someone,
20:37you see a side of them that you didn't see
20:39while you were married.
20:40And so you have to sort of anticipate that
20:43so that you're not left holding the bag at the end.
20:47I know my marriage.
20:48I know my soon-to-be ex-husband.
20:50I know my situation.
20:52And I promise, I'm good.
20:55Coming up...
20:56Well, you should just go with the flow sometimes.
20:59But just calm the...down.
21:01♪♪♪
21:05♪♪♪
21:14We're not too happy.
21:16I know.
21:17♪♪♪
21:20Well, I'm happy we're taking some time to go
21:24and be together and reset a little bit.
21:27Yeah, yeah.
21:28You know what I mean?
21:29Like, the last couple of weeks have been overwhelming
21:32for the both of us.
21:35A little bit.
21:36♪♪♪
21:39All right, babe, we have things we have to talk about.
21:42Talk about what? What is it?
21:44Babe, we had a little disagreement.
21:46Being a part of this group has affected the relationship?
21:49Yes, 1,000%.
21:51We had a big argument.
21:53♪♪♪
21:56I know, don't get upset with me.
21:58All right, you don't want to talk about it?
22:00No.
22:01You don't? Not on camera?
22:02Jesus Christ.
22:03All right, fine.
22:04Babe, we do have disagreements over it.
22:07Relationships do have disagreements.
22:10It's normal to have moments of things that we don't agree on.
22:14I think that right now
22:16I'm probably not being as compromising as I usually am
22:19just because I feel like, you know,
22:21the things that are important to me,
22:23I should still aspire to do them.
22:25And I just want Greg to recognize that.
22:28♪♪♪♪
22:33I have a reservation for digs.
22:35You can follow me, please.
22:37All right, cool.
22:39♪♪♪♪
22:41Here you go.
22:45All righty.
22:47Okay.
22:49Hello, you two, welcome to Dock.
22:51I'll be your server today.
22:52Okay.
22:53So I'm going to try the watermelon lemon drop myself.
22:55Yeah, okay.
22:56And I'm going to get a Hennessy sidecar.
22:58Nice.
22:59I'm going to try these sticky ribs.
23:00The sticky ribs, you're going to be happy with that, man.
23:02And I'll try the lava shrimps.
23:04All right.
23:05Hey, thanks, man.
23:06Do you know, you remember we met down here 2 years ago,
23:09kind of like in the Harbor East area.
23:11Yeah.
23:12Yeah.
23:13We came a long way.
23:15I feel like we kind of still argue about the same things.
23:18Maybe it's kind of like personality-based.
23:21You're a woman, I'm a man,
23:23so we're also going to see things differently through different lenses.
23:27Whether we want you or not.
23:29To me, that's a little struggle for me sometimes.
23:32It's noticeable.
23:34You know, you should just go with the flow sometimes.
23:37Just calm the *** down.
23:39That's all I'm saying.
23:44Okay.
23:45But I think for me, it's a matter of still feeling like,
23:48okay, I'm my own woman here,
23:50because I feel like sometimes I shrink when I'm with you,
23:53instead of being like my full self.
23:56Well, that's how you feel.
24:00But I also feel like—
24:01Thank you, man.
24:02You're welcome, sir.
24:04When we have these conversations,
24:06it starts to feel like it's either your way or my way,
24:09and I don't want it to be that way.
24:11I want us to be able to be on the same page.
24:13The focus should always be that we try to make it work.
24:16Yes. I mean, why not?
24:17We shouldn't be wasting each other's time like that.
24:20We just feel extremely disconnected.
24:22Joining the show was so important to me,
24:24so I just thought he would get it,
24:26and I just wanted him to support me so much,
24:28and it's one of those things where, for me, I'm like,
24:31well, s***, if we can't compromise here,
24:33how are we going to compromise long-term?
24:36My biggest thing that I want to feel between you and I
24:39is that I want to just feel completely seen by you,
24:42and I want to be—I want to always feel safe with you.
24:46Okay.
24:47Where I feel like you see the value in me,
24:50and you see the value in us being together,
24:53and it's a comfort of mine that I specifically need from you,
24:57and only you can give it to me,
24:59and it's a thing that I don't feel that you've made me feel yet completely.
25:05You're welcome to cry.
25:06I know. I don't want to cry about it,
25:08because it's something that I've kind of been, like, not wanting to—
25:11Can you give me a napkin? Thank you.
25:14I don't want to cry about it,
25:16but sometimes I just feel like when it comes to you,
25:19you can be a little bit dismissive to that need for me.
25:24I don't know if you understand how deeply it impacts me.
25:28How deeply it impacts.
25:29I think it's valid feelings that have been dismissed.
25:32But I disagree. I have not dismissed your feelings.
25:35That's how I feel.
25:37Okay.
25:40I don't dismiss it at all.
25:45I never dismiss it. Seriously.
25:50Coming up...
25:51I'm having, like, a beautiful event
25:53in what I think is a great moment for us to come together.
25:56I was actually shocked.
25:57I didn't think that you were into charities.
25:59What?
26:16Hello!
26:18You're looking beautiful.
26:20How are you?
26:21I missed you.
26:22I am so excited for today,
26:24and everyone's coming in to look fabulous.
26:27So what I usually like to do for fashion shows,
26:30I like to kind of coordinate colors, you know?
26:33Oh, I love that.
26:34I am so excited about this event,
26:36and I can't think of a better designer to highlight
26:40other than Vivian.
26:41And in true form,
26:42I had to have Arabella involved with this invitation.
26:46I want to invite you to participate
26:48in this year's Strut First Race.
26:50Don't worry about what you're wearing.
26:52Vivian has you covered.
26:53We can't wait to see you and do this together.
26:56Have a great time.
26:58Bye!
26:59It's really nice to get, you know, hearts and responses.
27:04And then there's Karen.
27:08What does this even mean?
27:12The grand dame needs a rest, honey.
27:14I just want to make sure everybody feels beautiful
27:17while we walk with these dogs and find them a home.
27:20Well, hello!
27:21Oh, hello!
27:22How are you?
27:23How are you?
27:25You look so cute!
27:27Oh, my gosh!
27:28Hey, pink!
27:29Hey!
27:30Last time I saw you, you had a dick.
27:32How are you?
27:33How are you doing?
27:34Oh, my gosh!
27:35You're a black Barbie!
27:37So are you!
27:38Okay, what are we doing?
27:39Let's choose some dresses.
27:43Oh, this is kind of cute.
27:45Oh, this is pants.
27:46These are pants.
27:47Should I give a wedding gown moment?
27:48Or should I be extra?
27:49I actually picked that out for you.
27:51Did you?
27:52Yes.
27:53Wait, I already wore that dress.
27:54Isn't this cute?
27:55Yes.
27:56That's beautiful.
27:57And then the boobies can stick out from here.
27:58Yes, they don't need any help.
27:59I nailed it.
28:00You did!
28:01I'm excited!
28:02But listen, don't you want to know who your date is for the evening?
28:04Oh, yes!
28:05So, Wendy, I would like to introduce you to Paul.
28:08He's a three-month-old male pit mix.
28:11Here's Boba.
28:12Yes, yes, yes.
28:13This is my friend.
28:14So, Stacey and I actually were at the shelter.
28:16She chose me.
28:17Where's Mia?
28:18Is she coming?
28:19So, Mia will be here.
28:20And Giselle.
28:21Okay.
28:22Yeah, later.
28:23Oh, okay.
28:24We're staggering you ladies.
28:25So, how many people do you have walking in the show so far?
28:26Who in the group?
28:27We only have 10 people in the show.
28:29Karen sent a message, and she said,
28:31while I support your charity,
28:35there are things that you said and commented on at Ashley's event.
28:41But I don't even think that Karen is participating in the show,
28:44and she's just coming to support.
28:47Clearly something you said really hit a nerve.
28:49Or something you may have did or didn't do.
28:52I think the question that you have to ask yourself is,
28:55do you feel like when she needs you, you support her?
28:59That can't be what this argument is about.
29:01I just would expect Stacey to defend Karen.
29:05We have to clarify that Raymond is actually f****** right!
29:09But she ran to coddle Mia.
29:12When you're talking about someone's children, you bring it to their mother.
29:15Then I understand why Karen doesn't want to be a part.
29:19It's just not in my nature to stand there and watch someone, like, be berated.
29:24I receive that.
29:25I think berated is a strong term.
29:26Gianse!
29:27Hey, hi.
29:28They said you not coming.
29:30They said I wasn't supposed to be here.
29:31No, not right now.
29:32Gianse.
29:33Hi.
29:34How you all doing?
29:35Hi, Giselle.
29:36How are you?
29:37We're talking about the event.
29:39Okay, so about that.
29:40Okay, hold on one second.
29:41Yeah.
29:42Because you just said something.
29:43Mia said some very disparaging comments about Karen.
29:47The first thing out of your mouth should have been like,
29:49don't say those things about Karen.
29:51Don't say those things about my friend.
29:53I've stood up for Karen over and over again.
29:57We need Karen to own up to her s***.
29:59Driving with a suspended registration, illegal.
30:02Why does everybody have a heart on for Karen?
30:05Well, there's other things.
30:06Because I was with Karen recently.
30:08Okay.
30:09And I was with Karen when we got your invitation.
30:11Karen, we just got a text message.
30:12Oh.
30:13I'm looking forward to seeing all of you all tomorrow at Vivian's store.
30:16Really?
30:17What are we doing at Vivian's store?
30:18To select your gown.
30:20Ah.
30:24We know Vivian because of Karen.
30:26Okay.
30:27And yes, y'all have a relationship.
30:28But Vivian has been introduced to this group through Karen.
30:33And you didn't have the respect enough to say, hey, Karen, you know what?
30:36Tell Karen about what out of respect?
30:38About the fact that we're here today at Vivian's store.
30:41Yes.
30:42And you didn't say, hey, Karen, just FYI,
30:44I'm inviting the girls to her shop.
30:47Wasn't that what the text message said?
30:49No.
30:50She didn't know anything about it.
30:51I think just ahead of time.
30:52She said prior to.
30:53Prior to.
30:54And it could have been a simple text message.
30:55I should have reached out to Karen.
30:56100%.
30:57Okay.
30:58Well, I disagree because Vivian is also my friend.
31:01I've known Vivian longer than I've known Karen.
31:03What am I supposed to be saying?
31:05May I work with my friend?
31:06No.
31:07You should have said, hey, Karen, just FYI,
31:09I've been working with Vivian on this blah.
31:11And it would have been over.
31:12Like, what's wrong with that?
31:13I don't necessarily agree with that because.
31:15Like, you need permission?
31:17Like, what's this, a gang?
31:18We got to check in?
31:19Like, what are we doing here?
31:20No.
31:21I do understand what Giselle is saying.
31:22I'm not saying you have to ask permission, but just like,
31:24if y'all are friends, you would at least just say it, you know?
31:27Key you in on it.
31:28That's all.
31:29Giselle, Mia has called Karen a drunk, a cheater.
31:33Kay said she was on Ozempic.
31:35I didn't call her to tell her I was having an event with my friend,
31:37so she's dropping out.
31:38It seems a little imbalanced.
31:40That's not why.
31:41So what, she's, oh, because I didn't speak up as well.
31:44I don't like the way that you've rolled any of this out, to be quite honest.
31:47Because you didn't say to any of us,
31:50would you like to be on the runway holding an animal?
31:54Okay.
31:55You did not do that.
31:56But I don't understand how I'm having like a beautiful event
31:59in what I think is a great moment for us to come together,
32:02and support a really wonderful organization for fur babies in D.C.
32:07I'm sorry.
32:08I was actually shocked.
32:09I didn't think that you were into charities.
32:10What?
32:13Giselle, why would I not be into charities?
32:17You didn't donate to mine.
32:19Because you threw me out.
32:22Hi.
32:23Ladies, no, no, no, no.
32:25Julia, please get them out of here.
32:27I have never been so offended in my life.
32:30So we have had two GNA events,
32:32and to this day, Stacy has not donated a dime.
32:38I don't even know how you sleep at night, Stacy.
32:40I don't.
32:41I don't.
32:42I think we better pick the dresses right now.
32:44Well, I'm not going to be in the fashion show either.
32:46Only because, like, I am confused by it.
32:51You don't know whether or not I'm allergic to dogs.
32:53You don't know whether I have PTSD because a dog bit me.
32:55You don't know none of that.
32:56Do you have any of those things?
32:58A bit.
32:59You got bit by a dog?
33:00Yes, when I was little.
33:02Giselle always got some excuse.
33:04No.
33:05Shut up.
33:06I can 1,000% understand why the dog bit Giselle.
33:09If I was a dog, I would bite Giselle's ass, too.
33:12Can we see the scar?
33:13So, Giselle, you don't like dogs?
33:15So you don't like, you don't do dogs?
33:16Dogs aren't my thing.
33:19What was your traumatic experience?
33:21I got bit by a dog.
33:23That may or may not be a lie.
33:30I just assumed that we were all like-minded.
33:34We're not.
33:35Clearly.
33:36Yeah.
33:37So thank you for supporting.
33:38You don't have to walk the show.
33:41I stood up for Mia, and clearly, I'm being reprimanded by the entire group, starting with Karen.
33:48It's not how friends treat one another.
33:51Karen seems to want the kind of friends who just blindly follow her, no matter what she does.
33:57Who is my real friend?
33:59I want to see who the real soldiers for Karen Huger is, because I certainly don't want any fake bitches around me.
34:04And if that's what Karen is looking for, then maybe I'm not the right friend.
34:08Because I'm into charities, I will write a check.
34:11I will be there on time.
34:12You can sit next to Karen.
34:14Yeah.
34:15Okay.
34:16Okay.
34:19Coming up...
34:20Karen said that Wendy is completely self-absorbed, and that I should never trust her, and she's only out for herself.
34:44Is this wet?
34:46Yeah.
34:55Hey, baby.
34:56Hey, babe. How are you?
34:57I'm good, I'm good. How are you?
34:59I'm okay. It's been a busy day. I feel like I've been in meetings all day.
35:03And then, you know, season two of The Dr. Wendy Show is upon us, so I just want to make sure season two is better than ever.
35:11I started The Dr. Wendy Show just two years ago.
35:15We do things out of, like, five principles, and one of them is fear.
35:18Absolutely.
35:19We got to stop this. We got to come together.
35:21At first, I was so terrified, but I definitely think that now, since I've resigned, it's allowed me to be laser-focused on my own professional pursuits,
35:30and what I want and what I don't want.
35:32I don't want to do busy work. I want to do work that's meaningful.
35:35I have some great news for you.
35:37About what?
35:38I just got off the phone.
35:39Mm-hmm.
35:40Maybe we should stand. Maybe we should stand.
35:42Stand for what?
35:43We should stand. You got moments like this, you got to stand up.
35:45Oh, am I finally going to get my proposal for our...
35:48It ain't that moment for you. It ain't that moment for you.
35:50...for our 15-year wedding anniversary.
35:51It ain't that moment for you.
35:52Just got off the phone.
35:53Okay.
35:56Wait, what are you talking about?
35:57With the White House. I got off the phone at the White House.
35:58And you're going to film an episode of The Dr. Wendy Show.
36:02I'm so proud of you.
36:03No, are you serious?
36:04I'm so proud of you.
36:05I know.
36:06You are doing your big one.
36:07Are you serious?
36:09Yes. Yes.
36:11Now, I know you want to know who you're going to interview.
36:13The White House Press Secretary.
36:14Kareem Jean-Pierre.
36:15Yes. I'm so proud of you.
36:17Big one.
36:18It's just such an honor to interview Kareem
36:21because she is the first Black woman
36:24to hold the position of White House Press Secretary.
36:28She is the mouthpiece of the President of the United States.
36:31When I think of Black girl magic, I think of her.
36:34This is your year, baby.
36:35I'm so proud of you.
36:36Mm-mm-mm.
36:37We're going to the White House.
36:39It's going to be a good time.
36:40How we going to the White House?
36:41What wig I'm going to wear?
36:43Forget about your wig.
36:44What should I give?
36:45Should I give a blonde moment?
36:47Should I give a little auburn?
36:49Should I give a bang?
36:51A who?
36:52I got to figure out what I'm going to give.
36:54That's amazing that you're giving anything
36:56inside the White House.
36:57Oh, my God.
36:59Ha, ha, ha.
37:00♪♪
37:06Hi, I'm Stacey Rush.
37:08Stacey Rush, table for two, please.
37:12Inside, please.
37:15Okay, thank you.
37:18Hi, beauty.
37:20Oh, my goodness, queen.
37:22You look gorgeous.
37:24You look beautiful.
37:27Right?
37:28I love this bodice.
37:30Oh, my gosh.
37:31How are you?
37:32I'm good.
37:33Yeah?
37:34How are you?
37:35I'm doing good.
37:36Are we having, like, a glass of wine or something?
37:38Are you kidding me?
37:39Let's absolutely have a cocktail.
37:41Good afternoon, ladies.
37:42Hi.
37:43Hi.
37:44Do you have a German Riesling?
37:45Yes, ma'am.
37:46Can I do a glass of Sauvignon Blanc?
37:47I can definitely do a glass of Sauvignon Blanc for you.
37:48Perfect.
37:49Can I have a heavy pour?
37:50Of course.
37:51Okay, Mia.
37:52A little strong.
37:54Girl, what is happening?
37:55You know, there's good days and there's bad days,
37:58and, you know, I just take it as it comes.
38:02Gordon is having a little bit of a spiral,
38:04and when he gets triggered, he has a hard time, like,
38:09coming out of it.
38:10Like, he keeps going.
38:11Like, what happened this past weekend?
38:13While I am upset at Gordon for sharing our personal family
38:18matters with someone who is an acquaintance,
38:22it's just a part of his condition.
38:24It's just confusing.
38:26I don't know why if he would say something and then deny it.
38:29Karen just said that I've known the entire time
38:34that you tested Jeremiah.
38:36Is that true?
38:37Nope, I never said that.
38:38Waited a couple weeks.
38:39I shared it with her.
38:40Mia hasn't told anybody?
38:42I don't know.
38:43I know what Gordon's capable of.
38:45My friends should try to seek to understand
38:47what I'm dealing with here.
38:48The thing about it is, is that I'm furious
38:51with someone who I consider my friend
38:53used it to villainize me.
38:55Can't she just be a supportive friend?
38:57Yeah.
38:58And that's what I said yesterday.
38:59No, she can't.
39:00She doesn't know how to be.
39:01It's funny that you say that.
39:02When I met with Karen, before I was introduced to this group,
39:07Karen specifically told me some things about you.
39:12Oh.
39:13How I should avoid you.
39:15Interesting.
39:16Because you are not Potomac.
39:19Oh.
39:20Is it Potomac to be a drunk swinging on bar stools?
39:25Is it Potomac to crash your car into trees
39:28and get repeated DUIs?
39:30I haven't been accused of any of that.
39:32So what exactly is Potomac?
39:37That's the warning she gave me.
39:40She also told me that I shouldn't
39:43be friends with Wendy.
39:47She said that Wendy is completely self-absorbed
39:50and that I should never trust her.
39:53And she's only out for herself.
39:56Does Wendy know these things?
39:58I would love to share this moment with my girlfriends.
40:04Like who?
40:05I would say Karen because it's a full circle moment.
40:09Karen inviting me when she received
40:11the key to Surry County.
40:13Miss Karen Huger, I am honored to present this token to you.
40:20Oh.
40:21It was just so amazing to have a front row seat
40:24at something so big for her.
40:26And queens recognize queens.
40:30She's always spoken about how her family,
40:33who were once slaves, bought back the land
40:36which they were slaves on.
40:37OK.
40:38And I don't know if you know this,
40:40but the White House was built by slaves.
40:42Really?
40:43Now she can go to the greatest house in the world
40:47and say, yeah, slaves built this.
40:50But look at me, I'm walking through this door.
40:53That would be amazing.
40:55Does Wendy know these things?
40:56No.
40:57Wendy stands up for Karen over and over again.
40:59Karen used to call us drunk all the time.
41:01All right, Karen is not in the car to defend herself.
41:04You came for the father of my children.
41:06I had to do what I had to do.
41:08This is a crime school.
41:10How far is Karen's event from Ashley and Giselle?
41:1424 minutes.
41:15We need to split up.
41:16My primary focus is Karen.
41:18Wendy is the girl's girl.
41:20She said Wendy only looks out for Wendy.
41:23No.
41:24When I joined this group,
41:26Karen wanted to poison me against Wendy.
41:30And as her friend, I listened to her.
41:33Our history is on the board for Felicia's Foundation.
41:36Yes.
41:37Talk about that.
41:38We were trying to do good.
41:40OK, wait, wait, go ahead.
41:41Wendy was poaching board members, right?
41:45As I've gotten to know Wendy, I think she's wonderful.
41:48The more that I think about it,
41:50Karen was just making sure that I would stay loyal to Karen.
41:54I will tell you, the truth doesn't expire.
41:58OK, Karen Huger, everything that's done in the dark
42:00eventually comes out to the light.
42:05Next time on the season finale of
42:07The Real Housewives of Potomac.
42:08Thank you so much for coming.
42:10Absolutely.
42:11Absolutely.
42:12So Karen told you not to be friends with Wendy.
42:15Karen made it very clear.
42:18Wendy.
42:19I'm Stacey Rush.
42:20And I'm Thomas Anthony Jones.
42:25Oh, hell no!
