Gizelle Bryant reacts to the big fight
If Bryant was extra-shady to Samuels, that’s because she has already taken a side. One of the big storylines being promoted this season is a violent encounter between Samuels and Candiace Dillard. Bryant has sided with the latter and recently elaborated on the big fight.
“What happened was nothing we ever thought we would see on this show or on this platform,” Bryant said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
“So, the kind of the beauty of what happened — if there’s something beautiful about it — is it allowed us to have deep conversations and true conversations about how we feel we’re portraying ourselves to the world and what we’re OK with and what we’re not OK with.”
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
