The Real Housewives of Potomac Recap: Chronic Disagreements

Gizelle’s role as a central figure on the show is best understood through her complicated relationships with Stacey and Monique. Their interactions showcase both her charm and her frustrating tendencies. Her back-and-forth with Monique was filled with underlying tension – they clearly didn’t like each other, but understood each other’s experiences, which often got under their skin. Early in the series, Monique had a strong case against Gizelle, portraying her as someone who enjoyed creating drama in other people’s relationships just for fun. However, Gizelle was quick to recognize Monique’s difficult situation in a failing marriage and felt compelled to intervene. This is partly why Gizelle’s attempts to hold Monique accountable felt unfair – Gizelle herself understands how damaging gossip can be to a family.
