38: This week, I’m covering the shocking allegations against Real Housewives of Potomac stars Wendy and Eddie Osefo. Like a lot of you, I was stunned when the news broke. I’ve always seen them as Bravo’s picture of Black excellence, so I’m unpacking how something like this could happen and what it means for their image, their family, and the show.

I’ll also get into this week’s episode of RHOP…from Stacey standing up to Gizelle and Ashley, to Angel and Tia bringing new energy to the cast. Plus, I’m talking about how we celebrate successful women on Bravo, why people love to call them “pretentious,” and how to play the Housewives game without losing yourself (or ending up in court).
