Season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac is a season of change with brand-new cast members, alliances, and graphics. Literally, Bravo has done everything they can to wash out the stench of Season 8. For Dr. Wendy Osefo, the new season means an opportunity to show a different side, and she recently teased that it will be her most vulnerable season yet.
Dr. Wendy Osefo is ready to be realer than ever
In Season 8, we saw Dr. Wendy struggle to rebuild friendships with the rest of the cast. Then, a nasty little rumor about her mom dabbling in witchcraft cast a dark cloud over the whole season. For Season 9, Wendy is ready to put all of that mess in the past. She spoke to Baller Alert about what fans should expect.
“I felt like this was one of my most vulnerable seasons, and I know that might sound a little bit cliche, but you guys have followed me on the journey of my professorship. You guys have followed my journey with my husbands and my in-laws,” Wendy explained.
She continued, “There’s been so much that you guys have seen, and we delve deeper into all of those elements this season.”
During the RHOP Season 9 premiere, we watched Dr. Wendy make the emotional decision to quit her professorship at Johns Hopkins University. In the episode, she explained that the role no longer fulfilled her. Instead, she wanted to focus on motherhood, and of course, her handful of side hustles.
For Wendy, the vulnerability this season isn’t just coming from her professional moves. It’s also manifesting through her shifting friendships. Her RHOP Bestie Candiace Dillard Bassett is gone, and in the season premiere, she tried to find an inroad with Gizelle Bryant. On the surface, it seems a little strange. But, Wendy is ready to make big, bold decisions in all aspects of her life.
“For me, being real means living in your authentic truth even when it hurts, even when you don’t want to, but just saying this is me, flaws and all,” Wendy explained.
“And I think that, for me, this season was really a defining moment of me just being Wendy regardless of whether or not I had the girls’ approval or whether or not I had my mother’s approval. I was just able to be myself.”
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs on Sunday nights at 8/7c on Bravo.
