Alpha female Gizelle Bryant came out swinging with new cast mate, Monique Samuels. But now the Real Housewives Of Potomac star says she is letting her initial reservations about Monique’s “bragging” go – although she’s still side-eyeing the NBA wife and mom. As for Ashley Darby wanting to meet Charrisse Jordan’s estranged husband, Eddie, at their daughter’s sweet sixteen party, Gizelle understands. I mean, this dude has been the invisible secret hanging over Charrisse’s life for over a year now. People want proof that he actually exists!
Before breaking down her thoughts on the ladies, Gizelle comments on her mom – and her mom’s mad love for Gizelle’s current squeeze, Kevin. “I’m very happy that my mother likes a man that I’m interested in, but I think her love for Kevin is a bit much. Looking at how excited they are about seeing each other reminds me of the movie, How Stella Got Her Grove Back. Is Kevin’s real name Winston?”

Gizelle continues in her blog, “There is no question that when it comes to my Mom, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I learned how to ask direct, ridiculous, unnecessary questions from my dear sweet INQUISITIVE mother. So it’s NONE OF HER BUSINESS whether or not Kevin and I are physically compatible. I’m all for a helicopter Mom, but she has parked the helicopter on top of my forehead.”
Moving on to Ashley’s behavior at Charrisse’s daughter’s party, Gizelle explains that it makes sense. Even though she agrees that Ashley acted like a kid on Christmas morning when she saw Eddie. “Ashley was like a kid who just saw Santa Claus and desperately wanted to give him her Christmas list. The more Charrisse told her no, the more she was determined to meet the mysterious husband. In Ashley’s defense, I completely see wanting to meet the man that Charrisse is married to for 20 plus years. However, clearly the thought of Charrisse making that introduction made her more uncomfortable than wearing socks and flip flops.”
Speaking of Charrisse’s estrangement from her husband, Gizelle calls bullsh*t on Charrisse claiming she’s been celibate for two years. Fake firemen boyfriends aside, Gizelle just isn’t buying what Charrisse is selling. “A very grown, sexy, socialite women celibate for TWO YEARS, who doesn’t live in Mayberry, who is out and about and meets a lot of people (men). Nope, don’t believe it but it sounded good, kinda like those fairytale books that I used to read my kids at bedtime.”

Gizelle admits it was hard seeing just how emotionally raw Charrisse is over her impending divorce, though. “Seeing the conversation between Charrisse and her therapist was HEARTBREAKING. I hope she finds peace because she deserves it.” You know, I have softened on Charrisse this season too. She has got some serious walls up, but I am impressed with how much more vulnerable she is making herself lately. It’s a start.
When it comes to Monique, Monique’s four homes, Monique’s perfect marriage, and Monique’s personal friendship with Michelle Obama <side eye>, Gizelle is taking it all with a grain of salt – for now. She explains the (temporary?) truce she’s struck with Monique: “Clarity is the key to life. I’m happy that were able to discuss our first meeting and see the different sides of it. I love learning who people are not what they have, but I guess I’ll find that out at a later date or never.”
“Nice that Charrisse said that I have met my match, but I don’t play badminton or tennis,” closes Gizelle – who just cannot let a fairly neutral blog end without throwing one final punch!
