00:00The verdict was read.
00:23What was your initial reaction?
00:26Well, my heart dropped.
00:31Karen Huber of Real Housewives of Potomac
00:34was found guilty.
00:35This is very frightening.
00:37But I accept full responsibility for everything
00:40that went on with my car accident.
00:43I feel like I had a couple of beers or something.
00:45Yes, so I know what you will not do is tell me what I can't do.
00:48Karen, don't, please, don't.
00:52We have about a month to go until you are sentenced.
00:56How are you coping at this time?
01:26I should have probably taken a cab.
01:35You probably should have taken a cab, yes.
01:39Do you think that you may have an issue with alcohol?
01:42No, I'm not an alcoholic.
01:45Let's be clear.
01:46Let me help you up.
01:47No, I did not.
01:50Oh, God, I'm lit.
01:52Yes, you are lit.
01:54I know a lot of young children look up to me,
01:56call me Auntie Karen, Granda.
02:00Do as I say, not as I do.
02:03I'm so excited.
02:27Miss Karen, I don't know.
02:45Did you see her name on the door?
02:46So she doesn't have a dressing room?
02:47I don't think so.
02:49Let's go around.
02:52Pull that strap up.
02:53Which one is this?
02:54Mm-hmm.
03:01Hey.
03:02Hey.
03:03What's going on with Karen?
03:04Is she not coming?
03:06I don't know.
03:07Last time I actually talked to her, it was New Year's Eve.
03:09Call her.
03:10See if she's coming.
03:15Oh, my gosh.
03:16Girl, she is not coming.
03:18Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
03:21The person you're trying to reach is not available.
03:23I hope she is here.
03:25Well, she has to be.
03:26I mean, you need some answers.
03:27Yeah, but I think because we went throughout the season
03:29with her sort of neglecting or denying so much,
03:33and then that footage comes out,
03:35it's like, really, you lied to all of our faces
03:37for three months.
03:40I just can't believe the footage.
03:41I feel some type of way because I feel like this past year,
03:46I really rode for her.
03:47And so if nothing else,
03:49at least for the people who soldiered for you
03:52and supported you.
03:53Answer the phone.
03:54Answer the phone because now this is like
03:56a slap in the face.
03:58Wow.
04:00Hi.
04:01Hi.
04:02Hi.

04:19I'm good.
04:19How are you feeling about today?
04:20I feel good.
04:21Yeah?
04:22I mean, ish.
04:23Okay.
04:24You know, the lack of Karen.
04:25Yes.
04:26Yes.
04:27Okay.
04:28Love on you, too.
04:29Hi, Ashley.
04:30Hi.
04:31Wow.
04:31Hi, baby.
04:32You look beautiful.
04:33Yeah, I love.
04:34One, two, three.
04:35One, two, three.
04:36Oh, shit.
04:37What the?
04:37Three.
04:38Hi, guys.
04:39Hey.
04:40I'm gonna take a step up.
04:41Yep.
04:42Hi, Andy.
04:42How are you?
04:43Hey.
04:44Hello.
04:45Hi, Andy.
04:46Oh, it's Wendell.
04:47Hey.
04:48Hey, Wendell.
04:49Hi.
04:50Hi.
04:50Y'all are twinning.
04:51Wendy, are you twins?
04:53Y'all are twinning.
04:54Oh, okay.
04:56Oh, oh, oh.
04:57Oh, my gosh.
04:58Oh, su-su.
04:59That's about right.
04:59Okay.
05:00All right.
05:01Hi, I love your hair.
05:03Oh, my gosh.
05:04Look at Giselle's nails.
05:05Yeah.
05:06You can never talk about me again in my nails.
05:08Like, what is this?
05:08What are we doing in 2025?
05:11What the hell is this?
05:11I mean, it's a new year, Wendy.
05:12It is a new year.
05:13It's a new year.
05:14Kitty's out.
05:15Kitty's out.
05:16Gee.
05:17Who are we missing?
05:17Karen.
05:18Oh.
05:19Just quiet in the house, please.
05:20We are rolling and recording.
05:22We're bumping in.
05:23Breathe.
05:26Hey, everybody.
05:27Welcome to The Real Housewives of Potomac
05:29season nine reunion.
05:32I'm Andy Cohen in Panama
05:35with the beautiful Real Housewives of Potomac.
05:39Well, it is safe to say that a lot has changed
05:42since you all were in production.
05:45For many of you, and we're gonna get into all of that,
05:47but obviously, there is an elephant in the room
05:50that we need to address first,
05:51and it's about who isn't in the room.
05:54Karen, the grand dame, is not with us tonight.
06:02Has anyone spoken to Karen?
06:04Not since Christmas.
06:05That's the first one.
06:06Are you aware why she's not here today?
06:09Not really.
06:10No.
06:11No.
06:12Detail.
06:13Yeah.
06:14So, as you know, Karen was found guilty
06:16on seven out of eight charges
06:19related to the single car DUI crash
06:22that happened in March of 2024.
06:25Karen is not here today because she has checked herself
06:28into a private recovery center.
06:31Oh, good.
06:32What do you all think about this?
06:35That's great.
06:36That's great.
06:37Perfect.
06:37What's your reaction to that?
06:38I think that's fantastic.
06:40As much as we feel she lives in a land of delusion,
06:44and sometimes we think that's funny and cute,
06:48in this particular case, it's not.
06:50I wish she would've done it before her case
06:52because that would've probably helped her,
06:55but I'm happy she's here now.
06:56I do find it interesting
06:57that she's doing it before her sentencing,
07:00and I'm wondering, is she doing it
07:03because she feels like she needs help,
07:05or is she doing it because she feels
07:06like it will lighten the blow of the sentence?
07:08Well, let's give her grace.
07:10We're all giving her grace.
07:11We're all giving her grace.
07:12I think it's okay to ask questions.
07:14No, we're all giving her grace.
07:15I'm just happy that she's in recovery
07:16and taking care of herself.
07:18Yeah, I get that.
07:18Let's just acknowledge that.
07:19I get that, but I feel like sometimes
07:21what you're trying to say is by us questioning her
07:24as her friends, you're trying to lessen what we're saying,
07:27and that's not fair.
07:28This doesn't have to be cookie cutter all the time.
07:31Part of friendship is also being honest.
07:34We should be supportive and positive.
07:36Do I also feel that she's going to rehab right now
07:39because she's trying to lessen her sentence?
07:40Absolutely.
07:41And anybody would.
07:42Right, I was gonna say.
07:44And I was gonna say, I can't knock the hustle.
07:45I would too.
07:46I would too.
07:48I had a feeling that the grand dame
07:50would not be present today.
07:51Oh my God.
07:52So she dressed in white?
07:54Yes, she's here in white, okay?
07:56She's right here.
07:57Okay.
07:59How would the grand dame feel about second position?
08:01I was about to say, you might bump her over.
08:04You wanna put her here?
08:05Let's put her here.
08:05No, no, it's my picture.
08:07It's my picture.
08:08It's my picture, okay, yes.
08:11All right, all right.
08:12Well, you know, she's not only here in photographic sense.
08:16She sent a message.
08:18Now, I have not seen this.
08:20Let's take a look.
08:21Oh, wow.
08:25Okay, ladies.
08:26As you notice, I'm not there.
08:28I am going away to a treatment center
08:31to address taking antidepressants and drinking.
08:35I want to get to the bottom of it.
08:39But I would be remiss if I didn't take this time
08:42to thank those who truly touched my heart
08:47during this whole process.
08:49And the first person I wanna thank
08:51in the girl group is Giselle.
08:53And I think what's really helped me, Giselle,
08:56is what the note you put in my flowers.
08:59One step at a time.
09:01Oh, she's gonna make me cry.
09:03You make me very proud of our friendship
09:04outside of this show.
09:06You're the real deal.
09:08I wanna thank my girl, Kay.
09:10Kay, you came through,
09:13and you always said that Karen's gonna handle this.
09:16I'm handling it, Kay.
09:18Jazzy, you sent me special notes
09:21that really touched my heart.
09:23And I know that Candace is not with us anymore
09:25on this show, but Candace reached out to me
09:27and has been a soldier in support and love.
09:31But wait a minute.
09:32There's a special person on my list.
09:36Andy Cohen.
09:38Your notes meant the world to me.
09:40They were always on time.
09:42You and Giselle can fight over
09:43who calls me the ground on first.
09:45But I plan to be coming back as Karen Huger only
09:49because Karen is enough.
09:51And ladies, I'm sure you're gonna do me proud
09:54and look fabulous at the reunion,
09:56but nobody sit in my seat, okay?
10:00Love you.
10:02Wow.
10:03Wow.
10:05Oh my gosh.
10:07That made you cry.
10:09Yeah.
10:11Okay, we're gonna move on.
10:13You know I'm not a good crier.
10:14Well, no, we're not gonna move on.
10:15Okay.
10:16Well, hold on, hold on.
10:17Let me get it together.
10:18Hold on, I don't see you emotional right now.
10:20I know, I just feel like, you know, that is my friend.
10:23I have heard too many things to count of Karen
10:26doing any kind of reckless things.
10:29My prayer has always been like, you know,
10:32she needs to get some help and not like in a shady way
10:36and not to tear her down as a person.
10:38She's a beautiful person.
10:39So I just feel like this makes me feel like,
10:41okay, she really realizes like this is it.
10:45So, okay, I'm done.
10:47Wendy, you seemed unmoved by that video.
10:51Did I?
10:52Yeah.
10:53I think it's interesting that she didn't thank Wendy.
10:55They're so close.
10:56Is that why you, is that?
10:58I think it would be selfish for me to frame it in that way.
11:01This isn't about me, this is about her.
11:03I have reached out to her.
11:05I supported her throughout the season.
11:08It seems like you do feel a little something about.
11:12I feel something and I'm not trying to conflate the two
11:14because I also feel something about
11:17what she told Stacey about me
11:19that I saw play out through the season.
11:22So I feel like having seen that coupled with this,
11:25it all adds up.
11:28I'm not fighting her, I'm just saying,
11:30this doesn't feel right.
11:31I feel like you just don't get it.
11:33You don't get what it feels like when you see
11:35someone they were together
11:37and you're like, that's not me,
11:39that's not my friend.
11:40You're not my friend.
11:41I'm not your friend.
11:43I'm not your friend.
11:44I'm not your friend.
11:45I'm not your friend.
11:47That's not my friend.
11:50Oh, wow.
11:51Wow.
11:57And seeing that coupled with this, it all adds up.
12:01OK.
12:02That's not my friend.
12:03Oh, wow.
12:04But you knew that, Wendy.
12:05You've been knowing that.
12:06But I don't know why, because you've been supporting her.
12:08Exactly.
12:09Like, you've been riding for her.
12:11You've been checking me for her.
12:12I have checked everybody for her.
12:15Karen used to call us drunk all the time.
12:17All right, Karen is not in the car to defend herself.
12:21My primary focus is Karen.
12:23Love to share this moment with my group of girlfriends.
12:26Like who?
12:27I would say Karen.
12:28I mean, you took her to the White House.
12:30Yes.
12:31Thank you so much for coming.
12:32Absolutely.
12:34Wendy, why have you never wanted to acknowledge
12:36that she had issues with you?
12:38It's not that I never wanted to acknowledge it.
12:40I take people for what they show me.
12:43OK.
12:44And she has not shown me that.
12:46I told you, Wendy.
12:47I've said it here at this couch.
12:48I didn't trust your ass.
12:49I said it, Wendy, in Monique's lake house.
12:51Karen has had some things to say about Wendy.
12:55Really?
12:55I'd like to get to know more about her.
12:57You think she'll get past, I'm three babies
12:58and a freelance correspondent for CNN.
13:01Karen from day one was trying to get you kicked off this show.
13:04I also want to say that last year, when my mother was being
13:08dragged through the mud, Karen was
13:10one of the only people who stuck up for my mother.
13:13OK, that's fair.
13:15One thing that I thought was really
13:17interesting about that video was what
13:19she said at the end when she said,
13:21I'm going to come back as Karen and not the grande dame.
13:24Yes.
13:25That is actually, to me, one of the two headlines
13:28of that video, because she is taking the facade away.
13:32Yes.
13:33People ask me all the time about Karen,
13:35and I say she is amazing off camera.
13:38Like, when the grande dame thing is gone, Karen is amazing.
13:411,000%.
13:43I would like to point out for the record,
13:45because my eyes almost fell out of my face
13:48when my name came up in that footage,
13:51I just would like to point out, I did not
13:54coin the term grande dame.
13:56The lady to my left did.
13:58That was me.
13:59Who and what Karen is to this world is very grande-ish.
14:04So yes, I bestowed upon her the title of grande dame.
14:09Andy said, get me out of this.
14:10OK.
14:11Yeah.
14:11The body cam footage from the night of the accident
14:15found its way online.
14:16It's really tough to watch.
14:18I think you would all agree.
14:20There were thousands of comments.
14:21Rayvonte on Twitter, love Karen since season one.
14:25Ride for her heart.
14:26Very disappointed in her behavior.
14:28And after watching these videos, zero accountability.
14:31Completely victimized herself.
14:33She could have killed someone.
14:34I hope she gets the help she needs.
14:36Alan from LA lost his best friend to a drunk driver
14:41and has no sympathy for drunk drivers
14:43and the reckless decisions they make.
14:45Hope she goes to jail for this.
14:47So she understands the real consequences of her actions.
14:51A lot of anger, concern, and feelings of betrayal
14:55from the viewers.
14:56Raise your hand if those feelings resonate with you.
15:00To a degree.
15:01Yeah, of course.
15:02Well, I do.
15:03I've been trying to tell everybody that she needed help.
15:06What did you know?
15:06Because I've seen her.
15:07We've gone out.
15:08We went drinking.
15:09She's gotten behind our car.
15:10I brought it up in Lake Norman.
15:12She wasn't taking any accountability.
15:14I think it's also more than that, too, though.
15:16I think in that light, in order to identify
15:18that she needed help.
15:21Well, there's much more to discuss on the Karen front
15:23and questions that need answers, I promise.
15:26We'll get into all of that a little bit later.
15:29But first, Dr. Wendy and her brand new decade
15:32embarked on a new career path and got herself a new bestie
15:37by the name of Giselle.
15:39But in the end, the tension between Wendy and Karen
15:42slithered its way back into focus.
15:46Miss, Miss Bestie.
15:47It's my birthday!
15:49Yes, Wendy, girl!
15:53Get off the floor!
15:55What the hell is going on?
15:56Our relationship, oh, God, has been in a bucket.
15:59I would like for us to get to a better place.
16:01Me, too.
16:02When you're angry, it's like, I'm coming
16:04at you very condescending.
16:05I receive that.
16:06You sometimes try to alienate people.
16:10If I do have an issue with being moving forward,
16:12I will tell you what it is.
16:14I recently resigned from my position at my university.
16:22Are you crazy?
16:23Just got off the phone with the White House.
16:26And you're going to film an episode
16:29of the Dr. Wendy show.
16:30I would love to share this moment
16:32with my group of girlfriends.
16:33Like who?
16:34I would say Karen.
16:36Oh, my God.
16:36Thank you so much for coming.
16:38Absolutely.
16:39Karen made it very clear Wendy was self-absorbed.
16:43She wasn't a girl's girl.
16:45And she would never be my friend.
16:46I have never said that to you.
16:48I have road for you.
16:50I know that.
16:50So I'm not saying that I 100% believe you.
16:54But something in the milk ain't clean.
16:58All right.
16:59We saw a new side of you this year.
17:02Lighter, funnier.
17:03What do you attribute that to?
17:05I don't know.
17:05I think 40's so monumental.
17:07Like I want to start afresh anew.
17:09And I think I also left my position.
17:11Yeah.
17:11That was like a weight lifted off of me.
17:13I was tired of having to conform to antiquated ideas
17:17of what a professor should be.
17:18Yes.
17:19But also, I would have to assume that it was a relief to you
17:23and to you, too, that the two of you
17:26were able to work through your animosity.
17:29It was an added bonus, absolutely.
17:31We listened to each other, which I think we've never done.
17:35We went through the laundry list.
17:37I remember there was a time that we were talking
17:39and Giselle said, and there's more.
17:40And I said, yes.
17:41It was a long conversation.
17:42It was like two hours.
17:44I think it's great that you two were open enough
17:46to do that work with each other.
17:48Yeah.
17:48And Wendy's such a, you know, she's a smart woman,
17:50as we all know.
17:51And she can express herself clearly, majorly, articulately,
17:56if that's even a word.
17:57No.
17:58And it's not.
17:59No.
17:59Oh, thank you.
18:01She's funny.
18:02That's all I'm going to give her today.
18:04Don't ask for nothing else.
18:06How is business going with Happy Eddie?
18:09Oh, it's booming.
18:09Really?
18:10Oh my god.
18:11The cannabis industry is like, he's doing so well.
18:14Have any of you partaken in Happy Eddie's devil's lettuce?
18:18I have.
18:18Stacey, I hear you were enjoying the gummies at Wendy's party.
18:22I salute your husband's business.
18:25And I think you will be so successful.
18:28More than you can imagine.
18:31Aren't you trying to start your own, Happy Eddie?
18:34Oh, are you?
18:35Stacey Stacey?
18:36Yeah.
18:37Oh.
18:37You don't know what I'm talking about?
18:39Absolutely not.
18:43When she comes out with Happy Stacey next season, don't be surprised.
18:50Coming up next.
18:52Megan from Houston said,
18:53Jassie, it appears to me that you were the side chick who made the dude leave his family.
18:58Oh.
18:58Damn, Megan.
19:00Hey.
19:07Aren't you trying to start your own, Happy Eddie?
19:09No.
19:11You didn't have a meeting with someone, and you told him that you're a celebrity?
19:16Absolutely not.
19:16Because he asked you, why on earth do I need to work with you?
19:20And you were like, because I'm a celebrity.
19:21Absolutely not.
19:22When she comes out with Happy Stacey next season, don't be surprised.
19:27Oh god.
19:27That smile.
19:28OK.
19:29Stacey, I hope you don't do that without telling me.
19:32I love Happy Eddie, and you know that.
19:35I don't know what she's talking about.
19:36OK.
19:37Well, is that what you did with Karen and the candles?
19:40Oh.
19:40Who, me?
19:41Oh, no.
19:41That's what Karen did to you.
19:42That's what Karen did to me.
19:43Right, right.
19:44Karen copied my idea.
19:45There is no real comparison between what Wendy's doing and I am doing with the candle.
19:50I respect Wendy choosing the one wick.
19:52I got the three wick.
19:54Erin from Salt Lake City said,
19:55it was great seeing you prioritize life and take the leap to leave your professor job.
20:00Do you really think it's fair to stipulate that your children don't get an inheritance
20:04unless they get a master's degree?
20:06Isn't that your whole cross to bear with your own mother?
20:09May you guys do whatever your heart desires.
20:13My only requirement is a master's degree.
20:18And if you don't get your master's degree,
20:19please understand it is written in your trust fund.
20:22And you will not get your money.
20:24So let me say this.
20:26We have a trust for our children.
20:27There's different stipulations that allow you to get a bonus,
20:31whether they get a master's degree or not.
20:33If they get a master's degree, they get X amount of extra dollars.
20:37Wow.
20:37If they learn how to speak Igbo, which is our native tongue, they get X amount of dollars.
20:41Wow.
20:42I like that a lot, too.
20:43I do, too.
20:43Yeah.
20:43That's up to my children.
20:44Yes, yes.
20:45If my daughter joins my sorority, she gets X amount of dollars.
20:50I'm going through that now.
20:51It's incentivized.
20:51That's a really good idea.
20:53I like that.
20:53I want to incentivize my kid to go to camp.
20:57Wendy, that's good.
20:58That's good.
20:59That's really good.
21:00Wendy, that was really cool seeing you at the White House doing your big interview.
21:06Was that surreal to watch that back after the way everything played out?
21:10It's absolutely surreal, especially after seeing the results of the 2024 election.
21:15Like, I'm so glad I was sharing that with my kids,
21:17because who the hell knows where we're going to be four years from now.
21:20We won't be.
21:20Yeah.
21:21You also invited Karen to the White House just days before you found out
21:26she had been talking negatively about you.
21:28Do you have any regrets about inviting Karen to the White House?
21:32Yes.
21:32I wish I didn't.
21:33Really?
21:34Yeah, I do regret it, if I'm being honest.
21:36Stacey revealed that Karen said that you are self-involved and not a girl's girl.
21:42Yeah.
21:42What was your reaction when you heard it?
21:45You seemed to believe it, even though you said something about it felt off.
21:49Yeah, because what reason does Stacey have to lie?
21:52That will cause more friction for her in the group.
21:55So yeah, I believed what Stacey said.
21:57The only thing I would say about that, though, Stacey,
21:59is that I didn't think it was kind that you actually waited
22:01until you and Karen's relationship was kind of going south to bring that to Wendy.
22:05So I didn't think that was nice.
22:06Well, it was a little bit more than, like, not getting along.
22:09I stood by Karen when Nia and Jacqueline were making a mockery of her.
22:15Why does everybody have a heart on for Karen?
22:17No.
22:17No, we don't.
22:18She's hurt.
22:19And months later, she didn't stand by me.
22:23I don't even think that Karen is participating in the show.
22:28And so I chose at that time to tell the truth.
22:32And funny enough, when Stacey was joining the group, I haven't told you this,
22:36Karen told me, be careful of the woman that's coming into the group
22:41because she's really smart and she's really educated.
22:46Is she?
22:46Oh, why would she say that?
22:51Is Stacey smart and educated?
22:55You don't think Stacey seems educated?
22:57I do have a degree and I'm very smart and educated and compassionate and a wonderful person.
23:03Yes.
23:03And I have no idea why Karen wouldn't want two like-minded,
23:08wonderful, smart, educated people to be together.
23:11I don't think it had anything to do with that.
23:13Let me say this.
23:15You did point out that you feel that Karen's MO is that she takes the new girl.
23:21Absolutely.
23:21And she tells them what she wants them to know.
23:25Yes.
23:26About everybody.
23:27Anytime there's a new person to come into the group,
23:30Karen secretly takes this person out and tries to skew them in a way that's great for Karen.
23:37One tidbit of advice though, because you are new to the community.
23:41In Potomac, the women especially, it's respect that gets you into the circle.
23:47She grooms them.
23:47Okay, so you guys know what I'm saying is true.
23:50So Giselle, you know that this meeting took place at Tally Ho.
23:53Absolutely.
23:54Did she take you to Tally Ho?
23:56I've never been to the Tally Ho.
23:58But she did befriend Kay.
24:01She did befriend me, guys.
24:03She did.
24:04Okay, did she warn you about us?
24:05No, she did not warn me about anything.
24:07But here's the thing.
24:08Also, for me, like I said, I'm always going to have a soft spot for Karen because Karen's also
24:12this very same person that when I went through what I went through last season, she made it her
24:17business to personally take care of me.
24:19I get it.
24:19You know what I mean?
24:20So I see her differently.
24:22Can I say something though, Kay?
24:23My Kay.
24:24I say this with love, my Kay.
24:25I know how you see it, but how Karen sees it, she likes the mother-goose relationships.
24:32Yeah.
24:33And she feels like she can mother you.
24:35Right.
24:36She loves you.
24:37When you show her that not necessarily you don't need her,
24:40but you can exist in this group without her, she turns on you.
24:44That's very true.
24:45With all the talk about being self-absorbed, not a girl's girl, et cetera,
24:49does anyone here think this is a valid criticism of Wendy?
24:53Yeah, she's self-absorbed.
24:54Yes, Wendy is definitely self-absorbed in a good way.
24:56Listen, we all are.
24:57I mean, aren't we all?
24:58Yeah.
24:58I feel myself in them.
25:00And Wendy is a lot to digest.
25:02Let me tell you something.
25:04It takes a strong woman to be friends with me because I'm very sure of myself.
25:09Yes.
25:10I walk into a room like God sent me there because God did.
25:12OK.
25:13Does that make sense?
25:14All right.
25:14Well, we're going to leave it there.
25:15And let me be the last person to wish you happy birthday.
25:19We are going to be right back after this.
25:21Not another happy birthday for Wendy.
25:23Sheesh.
25:24We've had other birthdays since then, Andy.
25:27It's been my birthday since then.
25:28Did you turn 40?
25:28I did.
25:28I heard there was some drama with your birthday, girl.
25:31There was.
25:32We're going to bring it up.
25:34Are we?
25:34Oh, yes, we are.
25:38Coming up next.
25:39I didn't know you were coming.
25:39Liar.
25:39Wait, did you not invite them?
25:40You're a liar.
25:41Oh, yeah.
25:42Did you not invite them to come?
25:53OK, Giselle, I know you're mad at me, but honey, you are snatched.
25:56She ain't talking to you.
25:57She ain't talking to you.
25:58She's not talking to you.
26:01She said thank you.
26:02Hello, ladies.
26:04Hello, hello, hello.
26:05Hey, guys.
26:05Hey, Tracy.
26:06Hello, hello.
26:07Hi.
26:07Hi, Andy.
26:09You look gorgeous.
26:09So nice to meet you.
26:10You look gorgeous.
26:10You look so pretty.
26:11My name's Stacey Ann.
26:12You look stunning, too, Mia.
26:13You look so pretty.
26:14Hey, beautiful.
26:14Wow.
26:15Stacey.
26:16You look amazing.
26:17My girl.
26:17You guys look great.
26:19Oh, Karen's not here.
26:20And stand by.
26:22OK.
26:22We're up in five, four, three.
26:25We are back with the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion,
26:28and Jazzy has entered the scene.
26:31Hey, there.
26:31Hi, Andy.
26:32What a pleasure to meet you.
26:34You, too.
26:35Congratulations on your engagement.
26:38Do you have a date set for the wedding?
26:39I do.
26:41What season is it?
26:42It is definitely a summer wedding.
26:43I'm actually told that you have the invite with you.
26:47Should I bring it out now?
26:47Oh, yes.
26:49Right there.
26:50Now's the time.
26:51Oh, my gosh.
26:51That's beautiful.
26:52Go ahead and pass it down.
26:53And you guys will get your own invite as well.
26:55So pretty.
26:57This is amazing.
26:58Wow.
26:59And it's a great mirror.
27:02It is.
27:03You know, I thought so, too, Andy.
27:05I know you like it.
27:07Are all the women invited?
27:09Of course.
27:10Yes.
27:11Where's Darius playing these days?
27:14Darius is the NFL player for the Dallas Cowboys.
27:16So we live in between both, but we're back in Maryland for the offseason.
27:19You had a little bit of turbulence with the group
27:22when the ladies started questioning the timeline of your relationship.
27:25Yeah.
27:26Megan from Houston said, Jazzy, it appears to me
27:28that you were the side chick who made the dude leave his family.
27:32Oh, geez.
27:32Not me.
27:33Megan.
27:34Mia, you were a side chick.
27:36What's your professional side chick take?
27:38Damn, Megan.
27:39All right, coming in hot.
27:41Who is Megan?
27:42You guys have only been together, what, a couple years?
27:44He's a great father to two boys that were both already created before me.
27:50How old are the children?
27:52The children are three and turned one a month ago.
27:57Let's be clear.
27:58I was never a side chick.
27:59I am the whole production, baby.
28:01Nothing about me gives side chick.
28:02OK.
28:03With all due, you were building your friendship with him while he was with another woman.
28:08And I had no idea.
28:09He's never posted the woman on his social media.
28:12He never said to you, I have a serious girlfriend?
28:14Oh, I just had a child.
28:15Well, I know that even she also said that they were not together when she was pregnant.
28:20She said that.
28:21So it was unbeknownst to me.
28:23If I'm going to be a side chick, I'm going to get me an Andy Cohen.
28:25I'll be your side chick, Andy.
28:27But, you know, and it's so frustrating because Monday through Sunday, every day of the week,
28:32it never gave side chick.
28:33Well, Jazzy, this season you coined a new name for the GNA duo, Gangstas in Alcohol,
28:40which brings us to our next topic.
28:42As the GNA brand moved from athleisure to health and wellness,
28:47Giselle and Ashley, you were also in a state of transition.
28:51Let's take a look.
28:52We're inviting you all to an event.
28:54It's called GNA Fusion.
28:55GNA, Giselle and Ashley, was all about athleisure, fun, sexy little clothes,
29:01but we're moving in a different direction towards health and wellness.
29:06And as my father passed from a brain tumor,
29:09I felt a need to make it a little bit more meaningful.
29:13I told you I was being given an award, right?
29:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:15But I won't miss your event.
29:17There are two events scheduled at the same time.
29:20That's not what friends do to each other.
29:22This is a real event.
29:23We're raising real money.
29:24What is she being honored for, running into a tree?
29:26We're just creating our plan to make it to your event.
29:31If you guys aren't here by 8.
29:33No, ladies, no.
29:34How are you?
29:36I'm Namsa.
29:37Okay, nice to meet you, Namsa.
29:38To us and those dimples on the side of your face.
29:42How are you?
29:42Hello.
29:43Josh.
29:43Nice to meet you, Josh.
29:45I feel like I got to test drive some cars.
29:48Good to see you again.
29:49I like him a lot.
29:51I haven't liked anyone this much since Michael.
29:54You could do better than Jack Harlow now.
29:59Yo, that beard grows in better than me.
30:02I am ready to fully proceed with my divorce.
30:05Hopefully, I will be officially done with the process by next week.
30:16All right, Ashley.
30:17Yes, Andy.
30:19What question am I going to ask you right now?
30:21Is it about Josh?
30:23It's the same question I ask you every year.
30:27When is the divorce?
30:28Do you have a date?
30:29I can file in February.
30:30Okay.
30:31I want to start, of course, Ashley, with your non-divorce.
30:35See, it's not even in my frontal.
30:37It's like in the rear view so much.
30:38But it's still in the hands of the state of Virginia.
30:41Okay.
30:42No, but you filed.
30:43I filed.
30:43So I've signed everything.
30:44Michael signed everything.
30:46We have nothing else to do with the situation.
30:47Okay.
30:47Do you get child support and alimony?
30:50I do get child support.
30:51I waived the right to alimony.
30:53You did?
30:53When I signed that prenup.
30:55And you're the opposite, right, Stacey?
30:57That's correct.
30:57You get alimony but no child support.
31:00Okay.
31:01Where are you with your divorce?
31:02We're in the final stages.
31:04And again, I'm waiting for the judge to sign off.
31:06We've already agreed on everything.
31:08Girl.
31:09No lies.
31:18Where are you with your divorce?
31:19We're in the final stages.
31:21And again, I'm waiting for the judge to sign off.
31:23Mia, are you getting divorced?
31:25Are you getting divorced?
31:26Yes, I am getting a divorce.
31:27Okay.
31:28So you and Gordon are just co-parenting right now?
31:301,000%.
31:32Yes.
31:32Okay.
31:33Back to Ashley.
31:34Yeah, back to you.
31:35Yeah, we love the marriage.
31:36Patricia from Austin, Texas said,
31:38does GNA even sell clothes?
31:40Your website's just photos of Giselle and Ashley.
31:45So, I mean, the timing was kind of off for us selling apparel.
31:49With me going through my situation,
31:51I didn't know the state of my finances.
31:52I was like, hey, I'm not really willing
31:54to invest as much money in a new business.
31:56So we pivoted to more community outreach,
31:58health and wellness.
31:58Community outreach?
31:59So it's a non-profit?
32:01No, it's a fashion line.
32:02We're a liaison.
32:03No, they got rid of the fashion.
32:03We're a liaison between the community and the charity.
32:06Boom.
32:06Okay.
32:08What's gonna happen?
32:09What's next?
32:10What's step phase three?
32:11We'll see if you're invited.
32:12Oh, okay.
32:13Well, maybe I won't come.
32:14We'll see if you're invited.
32:15Don't.
32:16I won't.
32:17Yay.
32:18So it's not a money-making endeavor anymore?
32:22That's not the focus.
32:23No.
32:23No.
32:24Yeah.
32:24The focus is...
32:26Is health and wellness.
32:27Yeah, health and wellness.
32:28Helping the community.
32:29Yes.
32:29Okay.
32:30Lots to discuss about the dueling events drama.
32:33Brittany from New Mexico said,
32:34if you say yes to one event and are later invited to another,
32:38shouldn't you prioritize the first event you RSVP to?
32:44Anybody want to answer?
32:45We wanted to land at the GNA so we can stay there
32:48because we wanted to spend more time with you guys.
32:50The event was well thought out.
32:51The event ended at nine.
32:52Y'all got there at 8.03.
32:53That's less than an hour that you wanted to be there.
32:55I respect what Wendy did.
32:57They said we're just going to Paris.
32:58Yeah.
32:59Cool.
32:59Like, you know what?
33:00You guys could have given us a little bit of grace,
33:02even if that just meant quietly kicking us out.
33:05How do you do that?
33:05Quietly kicking you out?
33:07Well, you just asked us to leave.
33:10You don't yell across the room like a gangsta.
33:13Like, I was actually worried.
33:16Ladies, no, no.
33:18The event is almost over.
33:19One second.
33:21Tell them to get out of here.
33:23Thank you, William.
33:24My anger was more towards Karen.
33:26I thought it was great to see you apologize soon after.
33:29It was really towards Karen
33:30because Karen knew exactly what she was doing.
33:32So apologies for throwing you out.
33:34I did because I knew who I was mad at.
33:36It was Karen.
33:36Okay.
33:37Yeah.
33:37We don't often see that.
33:38I know.
33:39It's a new leaf, Andy.
33:40I love it.
33:41Okay.
33:41Wow.
33:42Are you the Grand Dame?
33:44I'm Giselle.
33:45We're passing the title?
33:46I'm Giselle.
33:48Don't need a title.
33:50Jazzy, any final thoughts?
33:51You know, as difficult as it was to navigate a new group
33:56and hearing the side conversations about my personal life,
34:00I still really enjoyed this group.
34:02Since you're about to leave, can I ask?
34:03Because when I saw you at the Christmas party,
34:05you had mentioned that s*** flew off the handle for Mia's birthday.
34:09And Wendy also alluded to it.
34:10Can we actually get some backstory?
34:13What happened with Mia's birthday in Miami?
34:15So we're going to talk about Miami.
34:17Let's talk about Miami.
34:21Let me get comfy.
34:22This is what happened.
34:23Mia sent out beautiful invitations to both Stacey and I.
34:28And Stacey said, come on, let's go to Miami.
34:31Right.
34:31They support each other.
34:31So we went to Miami.
34:32Didn't all let her tell her own story.
34:34But essentially, Stacey landed and didn't hear from Mia.
34:37And at the end of the day, we did not see Mia when we went to Miami.
34:40What?
34:42Please explain.
34:43So first, I want to say I have since spoken to both of them.
34:47You didn't talk to me.
34:47I did reach out to you.
34:49I texted you two days later.
34:49You haven't spoken to me.
34:51But I have reached out to her via text because it's 2025, right?
34:54No, you call people who show up for you, actually.
34:58OK, but what happened?
34:59Mind you, I had hired a POC, an event planner,
35:03someone to dedicate to make sure that you RSVP to my point of contact.
35:08OK, sorry.
35:09I was like, is that a probation officer?
35:11What is a POC?
35:12And I personally did not know that the ladies were coming to town.
35:19You are a liar.
35:20I didn't.
35:21You're a liar.
35:22No, I didn't.
35:22You're a liar.
35:23Wait, did you not invite them?
35:24You're a liar.
35:25Again, did you not invite them to come?
35:28I did invite them.
35:29You invited them?
35:30Are you kidding me?
35:30They didn't say we're coming?
35:31I did not tell you.
35:33Oh my goodness, thank you for your invitation.
35:35I'm coming.
35:36You RSVP to my point of contact.
35:39Girl, bye.
35:40Where's the text?
35:41Stop.
35:42313-313-313.
35:42313-313-313.
35:44Stay with me.
35:45Let me pull it up.
35:47When I learned that they were in town, I texted them both.
35:51And I said, hey, ladies, where are you guys?
35:53Hey, I heard you guys checked in for dinner.
35:55They came to the restaurant.
35:55Why didn't you respond to me when I arrived?
35:57Then they left the restaurant.
35:58But Mia, you're leaving out key points.
36:01They left the restaurant because you told them to arrive by 8.
36:04You didn't come until 11 o'clock.
36:06I can't get up.
36:06That's why they left.
36:07We arrived at 9 o'clock.
36:09I was an hour late to my birthday.
36:10Read her message and read my response.
36:11Read the message.
36:12Read her message.
36:22You are, I was an hour late to my birthday.
36:23Read her message and read my response.
36:24Read the message.
36:25Read her message.
36:27And we can end this.
36:28You said, I'm thrilled to announce the celebration of the start of my final 40.
36:32OK, itinerary.
36:33Yacht day party.
36:35All white.
36:35Exclusive dinner at Barton G's.
36:37All black.
36:37All the details.
36:38After party.
36:39Please let me know.
36:40Can't wait to celebrate together.
36:42The response is, Mia, thank you so much for the special surprise.
36:46How fab.
36:47I'm so excited to celebrate with you, babe.
36:50I'm coming.
36:50This is a receipt I like.
36:52You say, amazing.
36:55Can't wait to see you, beautiful.
36:57Champagne clink.
36:58Balloon.
37:00And then she says, this is now on Sunday.
37:03Happy birthday, beautiful.
37:04This is a text I did not get.
37:06No, no, no.
37:07Let him speak.
37:08Hold on.
37:09She says, happy birthday, beautiful.
37:12I am here in Miami, ready to celebrate you.
37:16And hold on.
37:17It was read the following day.
37:21You respond at 12.15 in the morning then.
37:26And you say, queen, where are you, love?
37:28She asked me at 12 o'clock in the morning.
37:31She's a horrible friend.
37:33You're a horrible friend.
37:34Let it be.
37:35Then Stacey says.
37:36I don't lie.
37:37I'm not a liar.
37:39She is.
37:39I was so excited to celebrate you.
37:41I texted and called you with no response all day.
37:44And I still showed up to your dinner party.
37:46And no one was there an hour after it started.
37:49And you still didn't reach out to me.
37:51That was disappointing and disrespectful.
37:53Look forward to seeing you soon.
37:55So what's the problem?
37:56And I feel like, boo.
37:56Mia.
37:56What do you mean, so what's the problem?
37:57She showed up to your dinner.
37:59You never reached out to me.
38:01Why?
38:02So Stacey, I do apologize.
38:04I do.
38:05A little too late.
38:05She RSVP'd and said, I can't go on the yacht.
38:08But I'm coming to the dinner.
38:10So you did, though.
38:11I knew she was coming to dinner, yes.
38:13But then when I got to the dinner, they told me that she had left.
38:16But did you get to the dinner an hour late?
38:19I was an hour late.
38:19You were an hour late for your dinner?
38:21Yeah, it's my birthday.
38:23OK.
38:23I flew to Miami to try to support you on behalf of not only just your birthday,
38:29but also Stacey, who has a child, who left her child at home to be there to support you.
38:34Even when I was telling you how upset she was, you didn't care.
38:37You never reached out to me.
38:38Was Jacqueline in this equation?
38:39You were talking to Jacqueline?
38:40She was there.
38:40Jacqueline was the one who told me that Stacey wasn't there.
38:43Jacqueline told me that Mia was more worried about Inc.
38:45OK.
38:46Do you feel bad about it?
38:48I do feel bad.
38:49I do.
38:49Like, I really, really do feel bad because I did want to have an opportunity to have a good time
38:54with these girls.
38:55Oh, that's a lie.
38:56It's inexcusable.
38:57I agree with you.
38:58You agree?
38:59Yeah.
38:59OK.
39:00If we're being honest, the elephant in the room is she invited these two women.
39:04I don't know if anybody else got an invite.
39:06Oh, hell no.
39:07Exactly.
39:07So that's a bigger point.
39:09Wait, you guys weren't invited?
39:10No.
39:11You invited us and we showed up?
39:12So that's what I'm trying to say.
39:13And you ghosted us.
39:14That's what I'm trying to say.
39:15If you only have relationships with two girls in the group, and those two girls show up for you,
39:22you shouldn't ghost the ones who show up for you.
39:25Yeah, invoice her for your flight.
39:26I'm good.
39:27Well done.
39:27She's crying, so I want to know why.
39:29Why is she crying?
39:31It's just been a rough time, that's all.
39:34That's all.
39:35I've been going through a lot, guys.
39:36I'm sorry.
39:37Well, it's OK.
39:38It'll get better.
39:38I'm sorry.
39:40Maybe this is just me today.
39:42I feel like this is what you do when your back is up against the wall.
39:46Yep.
39:46You start crying to seek sympathy.
39:49And Mia, as your friend, I'm sorry, but that stops today.
39:52I can't hold back my tears.
39:53It doesn't matter if you cry or not, you're wrong.
39:57So I'm emotional because of everything that's going on.
40:01I f***ed up, again.
40:02So I'm taking full accountability because I know
40:05I haven't been the best friend to you guys.
40:08I know I haven't been the best person in general
40:10because I'm going through a lot.
40:13We are all going through a lot.
40:15Every day.
40:16We're all different.
40:17And we react to things differently.
40:18And we also have different experiences in life.
40:20I know you to be a good friend, typically.
40:22So who is this Mia?
40:23I know how to be a good friend.
40:26Not to us.
40:27But this season of my life, I have fallen short.
40:31It's like a three year season.
40:33All right.
40:34Well, we're going to leave it there.
40:35I'm going to say goodbye to my side check, Jazzy.
40:39Thank you, Jazzy.
40:40Thank you so much.
40:41I appreciate it.
40:42We're going to take a break.
40:45Bye, Andy.
40:47Thank you so much.
40:50That's horrible.
40:51Karen said, I never.
40:53I never.
40:58How long is this break?
40:59Five minutes?
41:00I'm just going to get touched up real quick.
41:08Stacey, can I come in?
41:10It's Mia.
41:12Hi, honey.
41:14Gorgeous.
41:16How are you feeling?
41:18I'm OK.
41:19I obviously love and care about both of you ladies.
41:22Why did you ghost us?
41:24I'm asking you.
41:25Didn't ghost you intentionally.
41:28So what happened?
41:29I have not been a good friend.
41:31I don't have the capacity to be a good friend right now.
41:33I just don't.
41:38I just feel like you're crying now because we're calling you out.
41:44You didn't even say anything to us until we were back in DC.
41:51It just doesn't feel genuine.
41:53I'm sorry.
41:55OK.
41:57It's OK.
41:58OK.
41:59All right, well, we can't receive it right now.
42:01It's OK.
42:02All right, well, thanks for listening.
42:04Thanks for listening.
42:08I just need to go to the bathroom.
42:10Me, too.
42:15I'm sorry, y'all.
42:21Next week on The Real Housewives of Potomac reunion.
42:24She told me to fuck that bitch.
42:26Stacey, you talk like that?
42:28Destroy 313.
42:29All of this is orchestrated.
42:31But she's getting divorced.
42:32That's a lie.
42:33Exploiting your family.
42:34These stories don't add up.
42:36That's it.
42:37The truth hurts, I guess.
42:38I'm leaving.
42:40Hey, what's going on?
42:42Shut the fuck up.
42:44What's the matter?
42:47What?
