Candiace Dillard Bassett confronts Gizelle Bryant about her claims that Chris Bassett was flirting with her during the Season 6 reunion taping. While both Gizelle and Chris deny any of their accusations, Candiace says she’s not comfortable with the optics of the situation.
RECAP
It’s a big issue for Candiace because she knows that Chris and his family are going through a lot of turmoil lately, especially because his daughter has been diagnosed with autism. While she wants to protect her child, she also doesn’t want to see him go through any more trauma because of it.
She feels she must call out Gizelle for the bald-faced lies she spread throughout the season. If she keeps doing this, she will lose the respect of the housewives and fans.
Gizelle tells Andy that she doesn’t think the story is true and says that it wasn’t Chris who suggested they talk in her dressing room, but she did take offense to the fact that he asked her to do so. She didn’t feel comfortable in that setting, and she felt uncomfortable because Chris was a married man.
Gizelle also said that she doesn’t like it when people make up stories to be the basis for drama. She feels that using Chris as a backdrop for her issues is unfair. Robyn Dixon has a big problem with how Gizelle and Ashley have used this storyline for their purposes. She claims that it’s a way for Ashley to bait her into another butter knife and wine situation where she would be the one who gets iced out because of her behavior.
Candiace is in complete disbelief that Gizelle didn’t call her out on this sooner, and Robyn agrees. She also believes that Ashley’s story triggered Gizelle, and she shouldn’t have brought it up now.
She’s also incensed by the fact that Gizelle accused Chris of sexual assault on camera. This is a scary situation because it can’t be true, but it could be a way for her to get back at Chris, and she doesn’t like that.
Besides, she will do whatever she can to improve this situation. She’s preparing herself for the fight. In the meantime, she’s also taking care of her son. She’s going to be a great mom, and she’s going to do her best to make sure that everything is OK with him.
Update
This situation is sad for Gizelle, but it’s not all her fault. She was in a very difficult situation when she met Chris and didn’t have any support she needed. It will be a long road for her, and she won’t be able to walk away from this situation without facing the consequences. She has to remember that she’s not the only one who has issues with Chris, and she has to be very careful about how she tries to make this thing work.
