‘RHOP’ Star Ashley Darby’s Friend Deborah Williams & Candiace Dillard Bassett Altercation Caught On Hot Mic + Who Co-Star Dr. Wendy Osefo Claims Is ‘1,000% At Fault’

Things got rowdy on a new episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac.

Audio captured moments that led to a heated exchange between cast member Candiace Dillard Bassett and Deborah Williams, a friend of RHOP star Ashley Darby. Though production had finished filming, the ladies still had on microphones, and audio captured Candiace Dillard Bassett referring to Deborah Williams as “The Help” multiple times after she asked the ‘Drive Back’ singer,

“Candiace, is there anything you and I need to talk about?”

Couch Stuffing begging for Candiace's attention & saying "but when I'm in front of you, you don't want to say anything, right?" Girl. She just called you "The Help". THREE TIMES.

 Deborah Williams is then heard reminding Candiace Dillard Bassett, 

“You called me Sesame Street? You didn’t say any of that in front of me. You didn’t say any of that in front of me.”

She later added,

“You don’t have anything to say to me in front of my face? But when I’m in front of you, you don’t want to say anything, right?”

Amid this argument, newcomer Keiana Stewart — who joined RHOP as co-star Wendy Osefo’s friend — chimed in.

She repeatedly said, “It’s not the place.” Before the episode ended, cast members yelled, “Stop, stop, stop,” leaving fans to speculate a fight likely occurred next. 

Here’s how other users reacted on X below.

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live after the episode aired, Wendy Osefo weighed in and said that Deborah Williams was “1,000% at fault” for the altercation. She explained that Deborah,

“Came over looking for trouble, threw a drink, and all hell broke loose.”

She revealed her thoughts during the fight and said,

“I cannot believe this was happening.” 

Married To Medicine star Quad Webb, who was also a guest on WWHL shared a similar response, adding,

“Bottles were being thrown. At one point, do you get that angry, and how is that okay?”

Last season, Candiace Dillard Bassett referred to Deborah as a “Sesame Street character” after Deborah accused Candiance’s husband, Chris Bassett, of flirting with her at a party.

Chris Bassett has also slammed the allegations on X (formerly Twitter), where he questioned Deborah’s claims. He wrote,

“So who came up to who asked introduced who to who and what to who????”

He continued,

“i would just like to again, thank #rhop production and the team in the editing room for continuing to show the LIES these women continue to tell about me.”
