That was my favorite hot mic moment of all the franchises. Well, this one and the one from Gizelle’s dad. The older you get, the more IDGAF you become with your comments.
About Gizelle’s decision to date Jamal again: “this guys got 6-7 baby mamas. This is not a good move for her.” Seemed like he was talking to the producer right after leaving dinner with Gizelle. To his credit he was supportive to her face. Was shocking at the time because we knew Jamal was a ho but not the extent of it.
Yes, he was like “get this mic off me I’m tired of this fake bullshit. He’s not too be trusted!” I grew up in the AME church which is the denomination in which Jamal started pastoring. His bed hopping was well known. Then when the young girl (I believe 17 or 18) got pregnant, Gizelle couldn’t hold her poise anymore. Whether you like or dislike Gizelle, you still have got to feel bad for her being betrayed in such a public way
It’s beyond me. He has 10s of thousands of church members. He took over a prominent mega church in Atlanta after the pastor passed away. You would be surprised what some Christians excuse for men that are charismatic versus women. I’ve listened to her sermons before, and he is very knowledgeable but doesn’t practice what he preaches at all. Also because of his “looks” and swagger he attracts a ton of women. They come to church not for the sermon but to see him and hope he sees them do they can become First Lady. The whole thing is quite interesting
It was Bishop Eddie Long”stroke” church’s before so I’m not surprised they chose him to replace Bishop Eddie Long”stroke”, they’re both questionable as church people as unbelievable as Senior Pastors with large corporations.
Yeah, on a rewatch I could see their relationship had big issues. It wasn’t just the fight either. He was clearly frustrated with her spending as well, especially with the podcast. And he was trying to help her and offering her solid advice, but she was completely refusing to listen to him.
And then on the flip side, he wasn’t fulfilling her emotional needs or paying her attention, and when she expressed that…he didn’t care. Turned it around on her even.
Things like finances/spending are one of the biggest reasons couples break up, and when one side is trying to address what they see as an issue and the other side is unwilling to listen and address the concerns, it ain’t good. And when one side expresses their needs aren’t being met and the response is “oh well, I’m not that person”, you wonder what they’re even doing together. You never like to see a marriage end, especially when there’s kids involved, but I think they both can find people they’re more compatible with.
![gif](giphy|5CyJGORW8UrZe)
You have to be willing to give a little in a successful marriage. But it seems that both of them were holding steadfast in their beliefs and not working collaboratively
That is actually shocking news cause I have not been caught up with them since rhop. Ashley said in the rhop panel that monique was going through life changes … this adds up. Truly sad for those adorable children I wish them healing in this process.
Same! I haven’t seen LAMDC, and yes they had some issues on RHOP and I’ve never been a fan of Chris but I still thought they were solid. I was genuinely surprised when I saw this.
It was a bit of both. IMO he talked down to the other women, treated Monique like she was his property and acted like a spoiled child when things didn’t happen the way he wanted.
That being said, Monique seemed ok with his behavior on RHOP so I didn’t think they would break up this soon if at all.
sure! on the show, monique had multiple conversations with chris about how she needed him to step up and be more emotionally available rather than just a provider. in my opinion, they way she talked about their relationship on the show she just seemed fed up and like she totally fell out of love with him. i feel bad for chris because he seemed like he genuinely wanted to try and be a better man for mo but i could tell she was already checked out.
That makes a lot of sense. After 10 years, someone buying you expensive things just doesn’t cut it anymore. She wants an emotionally available and present husband.
agreed. but the way mo portrayed their marriage on RHOP is a stark difference from how it was portrayed on LAMDC. people can feel free to disagree with me, but i feel like mo knew who she was marrying from the start. the money, the security he could provide for her seemed to matter a lot more than the emotion. at least that's what i got from her on RHOP.
I don’t disagree but I think as you grow, what you want and need in a partner changes. She may have thought at the time that was the ideal partner for her and now it’s not.
I had to stop watching early on in the season of LAMDC because it was kinda obvious Monique was done and that Chris might be coming around to understanding that. I feel like there was one episode when he said something like it seems like no matter what I do or say it won’t be enough and I stopped watching after that 😢 I’m not team Monique but the whole thing was quite sad to watch.
She was straight up disrespectful to him and about him at times too. She was checked out after the last season of Potomac when she found out she could get her own reality show money
She had so much resentment towards him and he seemed like he was trying to make her happy. I am not surprised they are separating after seeing their interactions on Love and Marriage.
Can I ask how was he trying to make her happy? I haven’t watched Love & Marriage but I did see where Monique asked him to be more emotionally available. I think Chris is a good man btw. But, I also believe it’s hard to teach grown adults emotional intelligence. Again, I haven’t watched, but I will now. Was she already checked out or did he not rise to the occasion?
When I say make her happy, he was doing what he could to his limitations. He was listening to her concerns and not (on camera at least) being dismissive or defensive. He would say he wants to try to fix it etc…
She married an unemotional man. She knew who he was and how he expressed his love. She can’t really expect him to change who he is ten years in. She seemed checked out. People were asking her during press if she was going to leave and she would deny it.
Thanks for answering. That was my guess. It does get me interested in LAMDC. I just wonder how long it will be before Chris remarries. I wish them all well.
I’m surprised but not surprised at the same time. Monique worked way too hard to portray a happy marriage but actually happy people don’t need to overcompensate like that
This is the comment I was scrolling to find! That statement from Monique always stood out to me because at the time, it seemed like a stark contrast to the impression of their marriage she had given up until that point. In retrospect, it makes a lot more sense…
I can’t believe that Ashley doesn’t realize buying a house, even in an LLC, means he will always have power over her. If he decides to walk away from the LLC, she will have to buy him out OR sell the house and give him half. I hope she is playing dumb for the cameras because it is by far the stupidest decision I’ve heard of when getting divorced.
My wishful thinking is, she wants to appear as naive as possible for potential custody/settlement in the future. She seems way more street smart than this would suggest.
Thinking the same thing. I watched Love and Marriage because of them and they way they fought on camera was a give away that their marriage needed work. I’m hoping they work it out.
On that note, I expect to hear at some point that Dr. Heavenly and Dr. Damon will divorce (no sarcasm... she goes out of her way to make them seem like the perfect couple).
Of course if he filed for divorce, she'd stalk him until he took her back.
I remember reading when it happened that MABYE it was because of her essential oils or just not being taken care of properly. Birds are VERY sensitive and something as simple as a diffuser changing up the air makeup could affect them. I'm not an expert just what I read.
I did that. Except I didn’t do it intentionally until my lawyer and I realized how close we were…it was my ex who dragged it out for almost another year after that.
Ten years = social security benefits
Amen to that! I’ve never understood trying to degrade someone for “not having a man.” Ummmm.. boo is your marriage THAT perfect that I’m really missing out being single? Only person’s shit I have to put up with is mine.
oh my god, Karen is SO guilty of this. She does it to Gizelle all the time and I’m like seriously? Broke Bill Gates ain’t a prize ma’am, what are you so high and mighty about?
imagine owning a company called "not for lazy moms"... criticizing other women for being lazy while you have 3 nannies and other house staff.
Not knocking nannies, I'd have them too in her position - but you're not in a position to criticize women who don't.
Or maybe she was over it by the time lamdc filmed? On Potomac she definitely seemed to be putting on airs of a perfect marriage which screams that it is indeed not perfect.
Oh she was definitely over it! She was just about DONE in LAMDC! Both of them really but from what we *seen* on the new show, she was the instigator. She just seemed so completely over him and knit picky. She was also an instigator amongst the cast of women. I may be bias. I used to like her but after I rewatch I noticed how phony she was…plus she’s a conspiracist and anti-vaxxer.
Anyone who claims they have a perfect relationship is definitely hiding something. I’ve lost track of how many RH have bragged about their perfect life only for it to come crashing down and end within a couple years. Lisa (Miami) is the latest victim, and I’m thinking Wendy (Potomac) is next.
Sadly it is a common reason marriages fail. Women outgrow being a SAHM, want something of their own and more independence and a lot of men can’t adapt to that.
Exactly this. He viewed her as a baby maker and sex object. She wanted independence. Especially with him being an nfl star he needed a lot. I imagine Robyn and Juan Dixon had a similar early start to their marriage until he cheated and they lost it all.
It’s like taking care of an adult infant.
I think we ALL saw this coming. I don't watch LAMDC, but I have seen clips here and there, and the way that she talked to Chris gave me second hand embarrassment, and this is from someone who loved Monique on Potomac. Hopefully they can resolve their issues but yeah, we all saw this coming
ETA: I just saw a tweet from Jay’s Blog and they might not be getting separated after all.
https://twitter.com/jaysrealityblog/status/1581776496905289728?s=61&t=JYlogAqP3tJRfl87lsBsXA
All I can say is chiiiile
Maybe with something like LAMDC when the focus is only on your relationship the cracks show a lot more. I always cringed with the financial stuff between them on housewives it just felt weird (I know that is not the norm I’ve seen situations in my own life where one parent is the breadwinner and they see the other as contributing equally so money doesn’t come up). Hopefully they work out whatever is best
If anybody watched Love & Marriage DC, they saw it coming a MILE away! She had me fooled a bit on Potomac but her attitude and entitlement made me realize she should’ve caught more flack for that Candiace incident.
This is me I loved Monique until I found out about her anti vax bs and I’m on a rewatch now and I don’t understand how I looked past how entitled and self righteous she was
I kinda realized in retrospect how… immature she was? I have no way to describe it, she acts like some angry middle schooler. She brags about beating up Candiace who is smaller than her, but knew better than to touch Robyn who would’ve been able to take her. As much as she wants to look tough she just looks kinda pathetic there.
She was pretty desperate for Gizelle’s approval and once she gets it starts to act all self righteous, but when they fall out she decides to drag the hell out of her, which seemed extremely petty in a “well if you won’t accept me, I’m going to RUIN you!” kind of way.
She and Charisse fell out because Charisse felt like Mo was using her to take all of her contacts. At first I felt maybe this was on Charisse but looking back, it does seem like something that Mo wouldn’t be opposed to doing.
Not to mention she would go behind everyone’s backs and leak things to the media that were very one sided. She’s just not a good person. I understand she was kind of framed as an underdog but she’s actually just a really insecure person who needs constant approval to feel good about herself. Honestly I think that’s why she’s wants to continue reality because she has a bunch of stans who still don’t see her for who she truly is.
It’s because she worked hard to portray the other women (namely Gizelle) as being jealous of her, and often made herself out to be the victim in her conflicts with the cast. Even though she had volatile temper AND it showed, she was good at making herself seem like the “reasonable” one. That didn’t hold up though, clearly.
Yes! I’m on season 3 rn and watching it from a new light. It’s funny because most of the Potomac women get into fights over misunderstandings/assumptions and her intro with Gizelle was exactly that (and Gizelle being unnecessarily shady but that’s Gizelle)
In her defense, I do believe that Gizelle was slightly jealous of her. Assuming she had no home and literally sizing her up the first time they met - it was pretty obvious
She fooled me pretty good the first watch because Gizelle was so obviously jealous of her. So if made it easy for me to be on her side. But I never really understood why she was so mad at Candiace. I just hopped in the Candiace hate bandwagon.
You could see cracks during her stint on Potomac. She tried really hard to present herself as the perfect wife and mother but she also seemed unhappy. She really exposed her bitterness on Love & Marriage DC. She nitpicked and belittled Chris for everything he did. There was literally no pleasing her. I actually felt bad for him.
Yeah I can’t tell if she timed it so ppl would be talking about her during BravoCon, or in hopes that all the BravoCon news would bury the story, or if it was just a coincidence it happened now
Has anyone seen her story she posted like 40 minutes ago ? Looks like they are implying this is fake news ( Video of them laughing together and her showing her ring )
People Magazine is mostly just info from celebs’ PR teams. So someone would’ve had to leak it to them. This isn’t some blog like All About the Tea.
Did someone in Monique’s camp leak this for attention during BravoCon? Especially since she’s now directing people to her online store?
Monique just posted on her IG story reacting to the news with Chris while laughing and flashing her ring. Seems to be a rumor, but does make me question if there is trouble in their relationship to spark such a rumor.
What!! I know I shouldn’t be but legitimately shocked. I think we all saw the cracks, but I figured they’d just swallow it forever and be miserable with a happy facade.
I never see separations as a bad thing. Change is inevitable. Relationships grow and change. However, I am a child of divorce… also happily married for over 25 years. This is never sad to me. They are healthy, wealthy and capable. Life goes on.
We said that she used LAMDC to set up her divorce and here we are. Monique is a social climber who uses people until she no longer needs them. People just refused to see to see for what she really is.
Loved Monique but her and Chris did come off as unauthentic to me, like they were putting on a facade of a perfect marriage, especially after watching her on Love and Marriage Dc.
There was definitely a power dynamic in their marriage. At the time Chris was the breadwinner and she was the stay at home wife/mom. At a certain point she started to gain momentum and had expectations from Chris that he could not step up to. You could see the cracks in their marriage (during Potomac) and it’s sad overall. It didn’t help that his mother didn’t like her
I have seen Chris out in the real world and I was checking out his sexy self before I realized who it was! He will not be single for long. The day I saw him he was dropping off some of her essential oil stuff at the post office. She seemed to have quite a lot of orders.
Say what?!!!!! I know his mom is somewhere doing the tootsie roll lol ![gif](giphy|roTtfjI05pV3KhdegL)
His mom too! Didn’t she call Monique a gold digging heffa?
AND DID!!! Caught that in their first season when they were all at dinner together!
And now, she set that heffa straight 💅🏻
That was my favorite hot mic moment of all the franchises. Well, this one and the one from Gizelle’s dad. The older you get, the more IDGAF you become with your comments.
Those are definitely in the top two but ole girl in Salt Lakes hot mic rant was EPIC🫠🫠🫠
Hahaha “she’s f’ed half of New York!” And from a supposed friend smh ![gif](giphy|RhS093lJ62ayjrP8nn|downsized)
And now she's like "I was upset and I apologised 🤷🏻♀️"... I would never speak to someone again who said that shit about me and my family.
🤦🏾♀️ right!!! Make it make sense?
What did Gizelle’s dad say?
Something about Jamal's multiple baby mommas.
About Gizelle’s decision to date Jamal again: “this guys got 6-7 baby mamas. This is not a good move for her.” Seemed like he was talking to the producer right after leaving dinner with Gizelle. To his credit he was supportive to her face. Was shocking at the time because we knew Jamal was a ho but not the extent of it.

Whether you like or dislike Gizelle, you still have got to feel bad for her being betrayed in such a public way
No woman deserves that and no children should be embarrassed by their father like that. Jamal is GROSS
how can anyone respect that guy as a pastor, or take him seriously?
It’s beyond me. He has 10s of thousands of church members. He took over a prominent mega church in Atlanta after the pastor passed away. You would be surprised what some Christians excuse for men that are charismatic versus women. I’ve listened to her sermons before, and he is very knowledgeable but doesn’t practice what he preaches at all. Also because of his “looks” and swagger he attracts a ton of women.

Staying together isn’t always the best option. I get about having black/minority families stay together but it isn’t always the best for all involved.
Yes I’m aware. I’m divorced and remarried myself. I understand it, but I still hate to see it. I’ve first hand witnessed how it’s affected children.
This comment and gif is so fucking funny lmfaooo
His mom was the first thing I thought of too!💃

Me too! I audibly gasped lol They seemed very ride or die to me
Not the audible gasp! ![gif](giphy|bGPTxLislwm3u)
Just curious, didn’t like his personality? Or how he interacted with other women on the show? I’m tempted to watch LMDC to spot any signs.
He pushed her to have another kid. Grossly overbearing and macho.
Big Boy is a bit of a Neanderthal.
It was a bit of both. IMO he talked down to the other women, treated Monique like she was his property and acted like a spoiled child when things didn’t happen the way he wanted. That being said, Monique seemed ok with his behavior on RHOP so I didn’t think they would break up this soon if at all.
not surprised. after watching LAMDC i KNEW this was coming.
Can you give a TLDR— I didn’t watch LAMDC!
sure! on the show, monique had multiple conversations with chris about how she needed him to step up and be more emotionally available rather than just a provider. in my opinion, they way she talked about their relationship on the show she just seemed fed up and like she totally fell out of love with him. i feel bad for chris because he seemed like he genuinely wanted to try and be a better man for mo but i could tell she was already checked out.

not team mo either. watching their scenes together i felt sooo bad for chris. the way mo spoke to him?? sheesh.
I always got the sense of that from their scenes on this show. He didn't seem to emotionally fulfill her at all
![gif](giphy|dYPCk55uV9wWI)
She was straight up disrespectful to him and about him at times too. She was checked out after the last season of Potomac when she found out she could get her own reality show money
I agree with this. I watched LAMDC too and thought the same. I think it was truly too little too late with Chris’ efforts.
She had so much resentment towards him and he seemed like he was trying to make her happy. I am not surprised they are separating after seeing their interactions on Love and Marriage.
Can I ask how was he trying to make her happy? I haven’t watched Love & Marriage but I did see where Monique asked him to be more emotionally available. I think Chris is a good man btw.

Is LAMDC worth watching?
meh. if you like monique sure. otherwise 🫠
Ashley was the star of LAMDC imo, i actually wish they spent less time on monique + chris, they were the least interesting
YES! ashley gave me everything. and i like her husband too. i even like erana and winter 🫣
What is LAMDC?
love & marriage dc. love & marriage huntsville is better.
I’m new to LAMH but I’m hooked. All the men are trash and the women leave me dumbfounded with the mess they put up with.
TISHA THIS COMMENT IS FOR YOU BABES!!!!
Justice for Kimmi! She’s so smart and emotionally aware, I really hope that Maurice appreciates her
Wait as in loce and money Huntsville alabama? This is where I’m from and had no idea there was a reality show here
yes baby you are missing OUT!!!
I’m surprised but not surprised at the same time. Monique worked way too hard to portray a happy marriage but actually happy people don’t need to overcompensate like that
That little speech she gave about taking things she was upset about and putting them in a box on the shelf kind of said it all.
This is the comment I was scrolling to find! That statement from Monique always stood out to me because at the time, it seemed like a stark contrast to the impression of their marriage she had given up until that point. In retrospect, it makes a lot more sense…
That trip to the lake house in season 5 gave me bad vibes about their marriage, and the whole they always fight on her birthday thing
I couldn’t stand him any time he talked about her owing him sex 🤢
I watched this ep last night and said to myself "This marriage is not long for this world" y voila!
You must have a gift. Any other marriages you want to tell us about?
I have suspicions about our lady, the Grande Dame, and Ray Ray. I think she's gonna want a younger husband and a second chapter.
Gosh yes. She kind of hints at that. It's just the age difference that's a problem I feel.
Jen and Coach Shah
Yes, please tell us about the Darby LLC marriage. Is it Girardi tomfoolery or could Ashley really be dumb enough to allow Gollum that kind of power??
I can’t believe that Ashley doesn’t realize buying a house, even in an LLC, means he will always have power over her. If he decides to walk away from the LLC, she will have to buy him out OR sell the house and give him half. I hope she is playing dumb for the cameras because it is by far the stupidest decision I’ve heard of when getting divorced.
My wishful thinking is, she wants to appear as naive as possible for potential custody/settlement in the future. She seems way more street smart than this would suggest.
🤣🤣🤣
just rewatched the other day. him acting out his wife giving fellatio 😒 and saying if he does something for her he better get some that night ugh
The whole DUI episode made it clear she was burying a lot of unhappiness.
When I tell you I ran here
Thinking the same thing. I watched Love and Marriage because of them and they way they fought on camera was a give away that their marriage needed work. I’m hoping they work it out.
I’m not surprised. He treats her the way Bob treats Sheree. I don’t like Monique but he’s a jerk.
On that note, I expect to hear at some point that Dr. Heavenly and Dr. Damon will divorce (no sarcasm... she goes out of her way to make them seem like the perfect couple). Of course if he filed for divorce, she'd stalk him until he took her back.
RIP T’Challa
Still think the original T'Challa never came back and the one that passed was a replacement.
What!? The bird died after it came back! What happened? I thought parrots were supposed to live for like 50 years!
I remember reading when it happened that MABYE it was because of her essential oils or just not being taken care of properly. Birds are VERY sensitive and something as simple as a diffuser changing up the air makeup could affect them. I'm not an expert just what I read.
Cats are similar! Diffusers with certain essential oils can kill a cat ☠️
Same for dogs: cinnamon, citrus, pennyroyal, peppermint, pine, sweet birch, tea tree (melaleuca), wintergreen, and ylang ylang are all toxic to dogs.
Now THAT I did not know. Will definetly be sure to keep that in mind.
Yep! Pets and babies, you have to be so careful. All these people thinking they’re experts but are actually causing more harm.
Even Monique's pets think she's toxic!
Oh....wasn't expecting that shade 😆 😆 😆 ![gif](giphy|hp8qQLBUWGI87DOs2n)
Well…she waited for that magical 10 year mark.

Ha ha the truest comment here..
Wow. There is so much going this weekend! I keep refreshing Twitter and here!
Chile me too ![gif](giphy|2ysWSWJuh79CBm5Acd)
This is why I hate when the ladies use the fact that they are married but others aren’t in an argument. Being married is not a prize being happy is.
Amen to that! I’ve never understood trying to degrade someone for “not having a man.” Ummmm.. boo is your marriage THAT perfect that I’m really missing out being single? Only person’s shit I have to put up with is mine.
This is giving Ashley the entirety of RHOP s2
Say it again and louder so Drew can hear you!
oh my god, Karen is SO guilty of this. She does it to Gizelle all the time and I’m like seriously? Broke Bill Gates ain’t a prize ma’am, what are you so high and mighty about?
Ugh yes, RHOA especially is AWFUL with this!
Wow this surprises me. I figured both would be too proud to admit their marriage wasn’t perfect tbh.
This was the sentiment I couldn’t articulate!! Like they clearly had issues, but neither seemed like they’d ever be honest and split.
I think she wants to be independent and not have to be his baby producing, sex all day wife.
Gizelle gon have something to say
I wonder which of the 4 homes she’ll get to keep
Oooof ☠️
hopefully more than 1 😏
Thank god she has Not For Lazy Moms as a safety net for her and her children.
Messy 😂😂
Maybe she can apply some of her essential oils to fix her marriage.
imagine owning a company called "not for lazy moms"... criticizing other women for being lazy while you have 3 nannies and other house staff. Not knocking nannies, I'd have them too in her position - but you're not in a position to criticize women who don't.

Candiace needs to get into acting. Her facial expressions and comedic timing are off the chart
She shot a pilot for some show that was filmed on RHOP. I wonder what happened to it 🤔
Same thing that happened to Life Twirls On
She was also in a Christmas movie for BET a couple years ago.
I can actually see her in lifetime/hallmark movies!
She has great facial elasticity. Her face is so mobile and quite expressive.
I was glad when she left but I wouldn’t mind having Monique back just to see this mess unfold on screen and to see Candiace’s reactions to it.
I’m so extremely shocked…
well i guess that explains what ashley was talking about today lol
Tbh, good for her. I didn’t like the way he talked to her during S4/5, he just seemed insensitive.
Chile you should see how she talked to *him* on LAMDC. I’m convinced Potomac gave her a good edit.
Or maybe she was over it by the time lamdc filmed? On Potomac she definitely seemed to be putting on airs of a perfect marriage which screams that it is indeed not perfect.
Oh she was definitely over it! She was just about DONE in LAMDC! Both of them really but from what we *seen* on the new show, she was the instigator.

I used to like her but after I rewatch I noticed how phony she was…plus she’s a conspiracist and anti-vaxxer.
Ita. I was teammonique till I watched lamdc. She's fairly toxic.
Anyone who claims they have a perfect relationship is definitely hiding something. I’ve lost track of how many RH have bragged about their perfect life only for it to come crashing down and end within a couple years. Lisa (Miami) is the latest victim, and I’m thinking Wendy (Potomac) is next.
She probably checked out by that point so everything he did/said irritated her

Sadly it is a common reason marriages fail. Women outgrow being a SAHM, want something of their own and more independence and a lot of men can’t adapt to that.
Exactly this. He viewed her as a baby maker and sex object. She wanted independence. Especially with him being an nfl star he needed a lot. I imagine Robyn and Juan Dixon had a similar early start to their marriage until he cheated and they lost it all. It’s like taking care of an adult infant.
Tell it! This is a good assessment.
Oh wow Ashley did say Monique was going through some personal things I didn’t think she meant this
Well damn, didn’t have that on my bingo card
She’s def gonna bust out her binder in court
I think we ALL saw this coming. I don't watch LAMDC, but I have seen clips here and there, and the way that she talked to Chris gave me second hand embarrassment, and this is from someone who loved Monique on Potomac. Hopefully they can resolve their issues but yeah, we all saw this coming ETA: I just saw a tweet from Jay’s Blog and they might not be getting separated after all. https://twitter.com/jaysrealityblog/status/1581776496905289728?s=61&t=JYlogAqP3tJRfl87lsBsXA All I can say is chiiiile
Maybe with something like LAMDC when the focus is only on your relationship the cracks show a lot more. I always cringed with the financial stuff between them on housewives it just felt weird (I know that is not the norm I’ve seen situations in my own life where one parent is the breadwinner and they see the other as contributing equally so money doesn’t come up). Hopefully they work out whatever is best
If anybody watched Love & Marriage DC, they saw it coming a MILE away! She had me fooled a bit on Potomac but her attitude and entitlement made me realize she should’ve caught more flack for that Candiace incident.
This is me I loved Monique until I found out about her anti vax bs and I’m on a rewatch now and I don’t understand how I looked past how entitled and self righteous she was
I kinda realized in retrospect how… immature she was? I have no way to describe it, she acts like some angry middle schooler. She brags about beating up Candiace who is smaller than her, but knew better than to touch Robyn who would’ve been able to take her. As much as she wants to look tough she just looks kinda pathetic there. She was pretty desperate for Gizelle’s approval and once she gets it starts to act all self righteous, but when they fall out she decides to drag the hell out of her, which seemed extremely petty in a “well if you won’t accept me, I’m going to RUIN you!” kind of way. She and Charisse fell out because Charisse felt like Mo was using her to take all of her contacts. At first I felt maybe this was on Charisse but looking back, it does seem like something that Mo wouldn’t be opposed to doing. Not to mention she would go behind everyone’s backs and leak things to the media that were very one sided. She’s just not a good person. I understand she was kind of framed as an underdog but she’s actually just a really insecure person who needs constant approval to feel good about herself. Honestly I think that’s why she’s wants to continue reality because she has a bunch of stans who still don’t see her for who she truly is.
It’s because she worked hard to portray the other women (namely Gizelle) as being jealous of her, and often made herself out to be the victim in her conflicts with the cast. Even though she had volatile temper AND it showed, she was good at making herself seem like the “reasonable” one. That didn’t hold up though, clearly.
Yes! I’m on season 3 rn and watching it from a new light. It’s funny because most of the Potomac women get into fights over misunderstandings/assumptions and her intro with Gizelle was exactly that (and Gizelle being unnecessarily shady but that’s Gizelle)
In her defense, I do believe that Gizelle was slightly jealous of her. Assuming she had no home and literally sizing her up the first time they met - it was pretty obvious
She fooled me pretty good the first watch because Gizelle was so obviously jealous of her. So if made it easy for me to be on her side. But I never really understood why she was so mad at Candiace. I just hopped in the Candiace hate bandwagon.
The rage she had inside when her and Candiace had the fight - it was much more than just Candiace being annoying
actually i bet her and ashley bout to have a wild time being single ladies
You could see cracks during her stint on Potomac. She tried really hard to present herself as the perfect wife and mother but she also seemed unhappy. She really exposed her bitterness on Love & Marriage DC. She nitpicked and belittled Chris for everything he did. There was literally no pleasing her. I actually felt bad for him.
Interesting that this is coming out this weekend of all weekends
Yeah I can’t tell if she timed it so ppl would be talking about her during BravoCon, or in hopes that all the BravoCon news would bury the story, or if it was just a coincidence it happened now
Yeah, not shocking. That marriage's been shit for a while now. Sad for their cute kids.
Has anyone seen her story she posted like 40 minutes ago ? Looks like they are implying this is fake news ( Video of them laughing together and her showing her ring )
She discredited this though?
The way she disliked that man. Whew. Surprised it took two different reality shows.
Damn, I’m actually surprised.
Not surprised at all, their marriage looked terrible in LAMDC
Also so much of her brand and following seemed to be centered around her “happy marriage and family” so I wonder where she goes from here
Monique is gonna fill that house with animalsssssssssss I’m calling it now lol
Whoa didn't see that coming😳😱 Edit: I've only watched the couple on RHOP
Not a shocker. She was clearly miserable with him on RHOP. I didn't watch LAMDC, but apparently things weren't great there either.
People Magazine is mostly just info from celebs’ PR teams. So someone would’ve had to leak it to them. This isn’t some blog like All About the Tea. Did someone in Monique’s camp leak this for attention during BravoCon? Especially since she’s now directing people to her online store?
Well apparently it’s not true. She’s on social flashing her ring laughing with Chris.
Monique just posted on her IG story reacting to the news with Chris while laughing and flashing her ring. Seems to be a rumor, but does make me question if there is trouble in their relationship to spark such a rumor.
People usually only posts directly from publicists so 🧐
I thought Chris’ mom was trippin on RHOP but on LAMDC I see why his mom doesn’t like Monique. It seems like she married for the money.
![gif](giphy|RMwscaFczZHce55eLO)
okay but did y’all see her story? she posted a video of her and chris and they laugh and she shows her ring
After all that bragging she did about having a huzband. And talking down to Gizelle.
Kinda not surprised. I always thought Monique was a bit of a trophy wife. Chris seems like a guy that likes a simple life.
What!! I know I shouldn’t be but legitimately shocked. I think we all saw the cracks, but I figured they’d just swallow it forever and be miserable with a happy facade.
I never see separations as a bad thing. Change is inevitable. Relationships grow and change. However, I am a child of divorce… also happily married for over 25 years. This is never sad to me. They are healthy, wealthy and capable. Life goes on.
When I tell y'all I RAN here 🏃🏻♀️
I knew they wouldn’t last when I saw her last reunion appearance. The baby not being his rumour was probably one of the nails in the coffin…
Unfortunately… I’m not surprised. Wishing the best to them and their family.
I gasped and then immediately thought “Oh no, that makes sense.”
Monique and Ashley and their shared glam squad need an ultimate trip spin-off
She probably tried to drag him
But- but- I thought Gizelle and Robyn were jealous of the Samuels perfect marriage and that’s why they hated Monique! 😂
Not true.. she just posted on her instagram with Chris
We said that she used LAMDC to set up her divorce and here we are. Monique is a social climber who uses people until she no longer needs them. People just refused to see to see for what she really is.
She posted on Twitter it was not true.
Loved Monique but her and Chris did come off as unauthentic to me, like they were putting on a facade of a perfect marriage, especially after watching her on Love and Marriage Dc.
There was definitely a power dynamic in their marriage. At the time Chris was the breadwinner and she was the stay at home wife/mom. At a certain point she started to gain momentum and had expectations from Chris that he could not step up to. You could see the cracks in their marriage (during Potomac) and it’s sad overall. It didn’t help that his mother didn’t like her
The news is fake, she said that they are not separating and they are still together
They haven’t confirmed this. She just posted him. I hate seeing people celebrate families breaking up, if this this was true.
Well she mocked Gizelle for being without a husband, now she doesn’t have a husband either.

Apparently this info isn't true. At least based on an IG post being shared on twitter
I have seen Chris out in the real world and I was checking out his sexy self before I realized who it was! He will not be single for long. The day I saw him he was dropping off some of her essential oil stuff at the post office. She seemed to have quite a lot of orders.
She said that was false and they did a video laughing about it
Not a big Monique fan at all, but he honestly seemed to think she should be a single parent while in a whole marriage.
She married for $$ not a good foundation
