Nneka Ihim is out.
“Real Housewives of Potomac” fans have strong opinions about the reality show’s latest season. Many have taken to social media to call out suspected colorism. They believe Wendy Osefo and Candiace Dillard Bassett are treated unfairly. In their opinion, Candiace and Wendy are held to different standards from their light-skinned counterparts. So it has been hard for them to watch RHOP. However, some recent announcements may make them reconsider. Robyn Dixon was fired. She confirmed such on the “Reasonably Shady” podcast. The news comes as some have questioned why Robyn was not reprimanded for not addressing Juan Dixon’s hotel happenings on the show last season. Now it’s looking as if Nneka Ihim will not be around either.
As we reported, Nneka clashed with Wendy during her rookie season. In fact, an Essence Magazine editor said producers choosing to air this was culturally insensitive to the Nigerian community. Wendy shared the same perspective and told Nneka she took things too far. Nneka eventually apologized to Wendy for calling her mother a witch. However, it was clear that the damage was done. And while Wendy was willing to be cordial to Nneka, they were unlikely to develop a friendship.
Well, the Jasmine Brand is reporting Nneka has been fired. Some critics of RHOP wonder if Ashley Darby is also on the chopping block. She accidentally set up Wendy and Nneka’s bad blood by misconstruing a past conversation.
Candiace Dillard Bassett is pregnant.
In related news, Candiace made an announcement herself earlier today. She and Chris Bassett are expecting their first child together. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Candiace confirmed she quit the show to ensure a peaceful pregnancy.
“I wanted the space around us and around our child to feel peaceful and to feel free and to feel positive…without any added pressure, good, bad or indifferent from the show. I was not confident that I could have that in the space that the show exists in, currently. It was kind of a no-brainer.”
