In a recent social media showdown, Candiace Dillard Bassett, a cast member of The Real Housewives of Potomac, clapped back at her co-stars Robyn Dixon and Gizelle Bryant for gossiping about her husband, Chris’, alleged abortion scandal. The alleged mistress, Ayanna Williams, has also come forward with details about their supposed romance.
According to Y! Entertainment, Chris Bassett was accused of pressuring Ayanna Williams to terminate their unborn child. However, Ayanna claims that Chris refused to jeopardize Candiace’s reputation on the show. While she confirmed she communicated with Chris recently, it remains unclear if their relationship is still romantic.
Ayanna recently sat down for an interview with Tasha K., where she shared her side of the story. She expressed some hesitation about speaking out, saying, “Maybe I’m being petty talking to you.” However, Tasha reassured her and encouraged her to share her feelings. Ayanna described Chris as a good person but criticized his choice to stay with Candiace. She accused Candiace of wanting to create drama for the show and lamented, “You told me to have an abortion and yet you’re still with her.”
Robyn Dixon and Gizelle Bryant, also known as the “green-eyed bandits,” discussed the rumor on their podcast, Reasonably Shady. Robyn expressed her belief that the rumor had some truth to it. She stated, “I’ve seen enough to kinda know that something was done that wasn’t supposed to happen.”
Candiace wasted no time and responded fiercely to Robyn’s comment. She told Robyn to focus on her own personal life instead of spreading rumors about her family. Candiace’s spicy clap back garnered attention on social media, with fans and followers joining in on the drama.
Supporters of Candiace expressed their satisfaction with her response, while others criticized Robyn and Gizelle for their involvement. One fan sarcastically commented, “The caucasity of the light-skinned lizards never ceases to amaze.” Another supporter celebrated Candiace’s comeback and urged those who felt offended to take it up with God. They added, “Sesame Street is not accepting new characters for their new season. They are ESTABLISHED, unlike some.”
Comments on The Neighborhood Talk’s Instagram page also flooded in, with one person bringing up Gizelle’s past marriage to Pastor Jamal Bryant. The commenter mentioned Pastor Jamal’s alleged infidelity and his 11 children from different relationships. Similarly, Robyn’s marriage to Juan Dixon, which experienced a divorce but continued cohabitation for over a decade, also drew criticism.
Robyn acknowledged her own experience with cheating rumors and offered her opinion on why men entertain these kinds of situations. She questioned why they would engage with “thirsty women” who are just fans seeking attention. Gizelle, without directly addressing Robyn’s statement, hinted at some men being unhappy and miserable at home.
Candiace and Chris have been married since August 2018, as seen on The Real Housewives of Potomac. While they do not have any children together, Chris has three children from previous relationships. As for the truth behind Ayanna’s claims, it’s ultimately up to the audience to decide what they believe.
Overall, this heated exchange between Candiace and her co-stars has certainly generated attention and sparked debate among fans of the show.
