Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Potomac kicked off last night with Gizelle Bryant dragging Stacey Rusch left and right. Gizelle teamed up with Ashley Darby to question Stacey about her divorce, her breath, and most importantly, the allegations that she paid TJ Jones to appear as her on-screen boyfriend.
The accusation first came from TJ himself during the Season 9 reunion. He also went on social media claiming that he had receipts to prove it. We’re still waiting to see those receipts, but according to Gizelle, she’s seen them.
Gizelle Bryant “saw the paperwork” with her “own eyes”
The RHOP Season 10 premiere showed Gizelle and Ashley telling the group how a famous actress, who has chosen to remain anonymous, showed them legal documents exposing TJ’s plans to sue Stacey for not executing on their Season 9 payment agreement.
Supposedly, Stacey told TJ that she would pay him half of her RHOP earnings just for him to appear alongside her on the show. Wild right? What’s even wilder is that Gizelle appeared on Watch What Happens Live right after the premiere, and she claimed that she actually saw the contract.
“I saw the paperwork with my own eyes,” Gizelle said. “I read it!”
We’re hopeful that paperwork lands in Monique Samuel’s binder later this season. Either way, Gizelle also spent time on WWHL, weighing in on the theories about Stacey and Thiemo Rusch. During the Season 10 premiere, Stacey dropped the surprising news that they rekindled their romance right after finalizing their divorce. Just like the TJ situation, Gizelle seems to think there’s more to this story.
“That wasn’t shocking,” Gizelle said. “I don’t think they ever got divorced. I didn’t believe the whole divorce of it all.
With all of these accusations floating around, we have a feeling Stacey is about to spend a majority of Season 10 on the defense. Let’s pray she can keep her stories straight.
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo. Stream it the next day on Peacock or Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
