Robyn Dixon is easily the most laid back housewife ever to grace the Bravo network! And her take on the latest drama to unfold on the Real Housewives of Potomac is as chill as her. Robyn does open up in her blog this week about the betrayal that caused her financial troubles, which changed her life forever. She also comments on Gizelle Bryant’s grilling of Katie Rost about drugs and her feelings about Ashley Darby’s hubby crashing their girls’ trip. Spoiler alert on each of these fronts: She’s taking it all in stride.
Robyn begins with some background on her husband Juan’s friend, who basically stole their money right out from under them. Feeling compelled to share in Charrisse Jordan’s “Sister Circle,” she admits, “The pain and hurt that I felt in 2012 was beyond any other hurt that I have ever felt. And although the loss of money really created huge problems for us, it was the evil lies and deception that hurt the most. On top of the devastation from the loss of money and the loss of a friendship (he was even a groomsman in our wedding), I experienced the shock of my life when that same friend took his own life in order to avoid the consequences of his actions. This truly was the most difficult time of my life.”

Robyn says she’s moved on from that troubled time, but has developed trust issues as a result of the betrayal. “I have definitely been scarred and changed by this experience but still want to believe that most people are kind and genuine. One thing I know for sure though – I will run very quickly the other way if someone tries to tell me that they can double my money in a matter of weeks!”
On Gizelle’s questioning of Katie, Robyn maintains, “I really don’t think Gizelle meant any harm to Katie when she questioned her about the PDA overload at Ashley’s party. But I do think that by now, we all know each other well enough to know that Katie was not going to receive that questioning well. I think Gizelle probably was trying to be helpful and wanted to be sure that Katie wasn’t experiencing any major issues, but Gizelle should have backed off when she felt that Katie did not want to entertain that conversation.”

What really got everyone’s panties in a twist was the arrival of Michael Darby, who essentially joined their girls’ trip without invitation (on the last night…but still!). Robyn jokes, “Michael was definitely the last person that I expected to see at the gay club – well I take that back, Juan would be the last person I would have expected to see at the gay club. But back to Michael. What the hell is Michael even doing in Bethany Beach?!?! There was never any discussion that Michael was going to join us so I was just very taken aback by his presence.”
Arguing that a girls’ trip should stay a girls’ trip, Robyn concedes that she really wasn’t too ruffled by the change in plans. “I have no problems with Michael and he certainly has every right to stay in his own home, but if Ashley invited us to a girls trip then that is how is should have stayed until we departed! I’m not mad though – I think their newlywed status probably has a lot to do with their inability to stay away from each other for long. I’ll give them two more years of that!”
It was Karen’s over-the-top reaction that truly ignited the bonfire of delusions within the group, though. Robyn points out the sheer absurdity that is Karen Huger in her blog. “Can I bust out laughing now? Karen, Michael is married to a hot and fun 27-year-old, he has no interest in peeking at you in your silk nighty! Get over yourself, loosen up, move on and have fun! At the end of the day, we are staying at Michael’s house, it is a house big enough to sleep all of us, and he is there to see his wife. Who are we to complain and throw a fit? And the crazy thing is that after all of that commotion, we stayed up all night drinking, playing beer pong, and having a great time with Michael! Well, some of us did!”
