The Real Housewives of Potomac Recap: Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself

Looking back, I realize I was so focused on being upset with Candiace’s behavior that I probably wasn’t critical enough of Monique at the time. Honestly, drama and even physical altercations aren’t new to the Real Housewives franchise – New Jersey often feels like a wrestling match, Salt Lake City is known for drink-throwing, and even a seemingly harmless Atlanta slumber party turned chaotic. The Potomac cast, however, seemed to believe they were different, clinging to an outdated idea of upper-class respectability. While the women came from privileged backgrounds, the show wasn’t a period piece. So, when the fight finally aired – over a year after it happened – we were constantly reminded that this behavior was beneath them.
