Welcome to Potomac, where proper etiquette is key, and breaking the rules comes with serious consequences. At a birthday party celebrating Karen Huger, grande dame of Potomac high society, Gizelle Bryant's lack of manners puts the two divas into a battle for supremacy. And as if that wasn't enough, Gizelle is under fire from Charrisse Jordan, for acting not very lady like in her plush home. International model Katie Rost, a divorced socialite with three toddlers, is doing everything in her power to get her boyfriend to put a ring on it.

About this show

Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem - Potomac, Maryland. Its rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only. Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide the best life possible for their children. "The Real Housewives of Potomac" follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?

ABBA YHUH (Is the Most High)
August 20, 2018
Gizelle is such a HATER. So negative full of morbidity. Come on Gizelle, show some class and put your big girl panties on. You are so jealous of anybody who has more than you or are a threat in the beauty category. Oh and another thing....Ashley, go back to school. The definition of Gossip is talk, talk talk...whether it's true or not...you're speaking to others about "other" people's personal affairs. You ratchet girl. UPDATE: Candiace is so damn fake. UPDATE: Both Candiace and Karen FAKE, FAKE, and DOUBLE FAKE. Especially, that Candiace, she's cute but not all that. Staring at herself and playing with her fake hair on the constant. Let it go girl and be down with REAL. I think you took the wrong detour to the Real Housewives when it should have been the Fake Housewives. Smh.

I have checked out all of the "Housewives" shows over the years, and this one features by far the rudest ladies. "Etiquette", is mentioned in nearly every sentence by two of the women, the two that are the most awful. Delusional, rude, and embarressing, is what pops in my head when describing this show. Which of course is why I will continue to watch it!!
