Candiace Dillard Bassett wasted no time dragging her Real Housewives of Potomac co-star Gizelle Bryant on Sunday night’s (March 3) episode of Watch What Happens Live.
Within the first two minutes of the taping, which aired following the newest episode of RHOP, host Andy Cohen asked Bassett, “How did you feel hearing Gizelle tell Karen [Huger] tonight she feels like she’s a different person when she’s around you and Wendy [Osefo]? And then the rest of the group co-signed it.”
According to Bassett, Bryant holds the other ladies’ “brains in her purse,” therefore, “they don’t think for themselves.”
She added, “Gizelle is divisive. So anything that she can say to divide us, that’s what she’s gonna do.”
The reality star doubled down on her criticisms of Bryant in a game of “Do You Regret It?” in which she had to reveal whether or not she regretted controversial moments from her time on the show.
“Do you regret making faces while Gizelle was talking about her daughter going to college in Florida?” Cohen asked, to which Bassett replied, “I was not making facing at her daughter. I was making faces because Gizelle is trash.”
She also had no regrets over calling Bryant a “raggedy petty bitch” in a conversation with Huger, telling the Bravo boss, “That was very kind.”
Cohen also wondered if Bassett wished she hadn’t walked away while Bryant was jokingly crowning Nneka Ihim the Grand Dame.
“No,” she said. “Because as I said, to quote myself, it was effing stupid.”
The beef between the two women stems back to the Season 6 reunion, where Bryant claimed Bassett’s husband made her feel “completely uncomfortable” during a private conversation backstage.
“Many a married man have tried me and I felt like it was a situation in which he was tryin’ to see if I was with it,” Bryant said in Season 7, per BravoTV. “He was complaining about his wife. So he was letting me know he was unhappy. Maybe I was supposed to say, ‘Oh, I can make you happy.’ Like, get out of here.”
Bassett later shot down the “appalling” claims on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter).
“You are not a victim,” she directed toward her co-star. “What you are is a calculated slab of misery creating the next generation of snipes through the fine example your children have to mirror. We are all in danger.”
