Monique Samuels Returns to 'Real Housewives of Potomac' Season 10
Monique Samuels is making a comeback! The former star of 'The Real Housewives of Potomac' (RHOP) is officially returning for Season 10, according to exclusive sources. Fans are buzzing about her return after exiting the show in 2020. Production is currently underway in Maryland, and viewers can expect to see Samuels joining returning cast members like Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, and Dr. Wendy Osefo in a "Friend" capacity.
Samuels' return comes at a significant time in her life. She finalized her divorce from former NFL player Chris Samuels in September 2023 after 11 years of marriage. Many are curious to see how this new chapter will be portrayed on the show. Her personal growth and evolution since her departure in 2020 will likely be a central theme.
RHOP's Shift in Dynamics
Initially, 'The Real Housewives of Potomac' aimed to showcase generational wealth and high society. The original cast, including Karen Huger, Gizelle Bryant, and Ashley Darby, brought an air of sophistication to the franchise. However, a turning point occurred with a physical altercation between Candiace Dillard-Bassett and Monique Samuels, which arguably shifted the show's dynamic towards more common reality TV tropes.
The Candiace and Monique Conflict
Candiace Dillard-Bassett and Monique Samuels represented contrasting personalities within the group. Candiace, portrayed as a pampered and privileged individual, often clashed with Monique, who had a strong and independent character. Their conflict ultimately led to the infamous brawl, changing the show's trajectory.
Will Monique's return bring a renewed sense of sophistication or reignite old conflicts? Only time will tell. Fans are eagerly anticipating Season 10 to see how Samuels' comeback will impact the dynamics of 'The Real Housewives of Potomac'.
