Dueling parties will pull the ladies to opposite sides of Washington D.C. — and cause tensions — on the next episode of Season 9’s The Real Housewives of Potomac. Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby are expecting the ‘Wives to attend their GnA party for their new athleisure brand business, while Karen Huger is also hosting a Femme Powered Party at the same time. When the ‘Wives try to make it to both events, making them late for GnA, Gizelle is not happy.
“They need to not come. That’s so rude, Ashley,” Gizelle said.

Ashley finds out the 'Wives will be late to her event with Gizelle
Mia Thorton, Wendy Osefo, Keiarna Stewart, Stacey Rusch, and Jassi Rideaux were all together in a car when they FaceTimed with Ashley.
“We just wanted you to know that you can expect your girls to be there to support you,” Jassi said.
As it was currently 7 p.m. and the party was underway, Ashley asked what time they were arriving, and Jassi answered 8 or 8:30ish. Ashley informed them that the party was over at 9 p.m.
“That’s what I said, you guys, we cannot get there at 8:30,” Stacey chimed in.
Jassi assured Ashley, “don’t worry, whatever it takes, we’ll be there,” but Ashley was unconvinced, and told them they needed to be there by 8.
“We really should be cognizant of the time, I think it’s quite rude,” Stacey said when the call was over.
The Housewives tried to calculate how far Karen’s event was from Ashley and Gizelle’s party, and the driver informed them they were 24 minutes apart, which sparked panic.
“So you guys, we have 30 minutes to go in and be out,” Stacey said, and Wendy added, “Not even 30 minutes.”
Wendy lamented about Washington D.C. traffic in her confessional.
“Have you ever seen DC traffic? Just go ahead and text them and send your regrets. Because it’s not going to work,” she commented.
Wendy also told the ‘Wives her “primary focus is Karen” and offered to split them up for the parties if needed.
Back at the GnA party, Gizelle didn’t handle the news of the ‘Wives arrival time well. Ashley tracked her down and told her they’d be there by 8:30, irritating Gizelle.
“They need to not come,” Gizelle said “That’s so rude, Ashley. They’re f-cking rude. Not rude. F-cking rude.”
