Candiace Dillard Called Out For Age-Shaming Her ‘RHOP’ Costars

Real Housewives of Potomac fans have been calling out Candiace Dillard Bassett for age-shaming the women, most recently Gizelle Bryant on Sunday’s episode of the Bravo show. 

Candiace was firing back at claims made by Ashley Darby and Gizelle, who both accused her husband, Chris, of inappropriately flirty behavior.

Gizelle claimed that Chris had made her feel “uncomfortable” by asking to speak to her alone in her hotel room while filming last season’s reunion. Ashley revealed that Chris had messaged her late at night to invite her to a restaurant he managed. She later alleged that he flirted with a female friend at a party.

After calling Ashley “forehead” and referring to Gizelle as “dusty vagina,” Candiace asked—“You all are so miserable with your long rolling hills of necks that you wanna come for my marriage?”

Fans took issue with Candiace’s age-shaming attack and let their opinions fly on Twitter. 

One fan tweeted—“Candiace age shames and mommy shames. She is awful.”

Another added—“Candiace age shaming Gizelle doesn’t land at all, because Gizelle is gorgeous.”

A viewer wrote—“Candiace needs to stop targeting the other ladies physical appearances. Just wait till she gets older and has children. Her body will age and change too.”

Another person noted—“honestly, candiace‘s instinct to body and age shame is just getting tired. I mean iconic reads, but often really tone-deaf.”

One fan noted—“Candiace always is coming for Gizelle’s age like she doesn’t already look like Miss. Dorothy.”

Another chimed in—“Gizelle at any age is more beautiful than Candiace.”

A third tweeted—“Making fun of someone’s age is so ridiculous. Candiace act like she’s 22.”  

Candiace spoke to PEOPLE last month about the issue and said that the drama had “tested” her as a wife. 

“I had to really shoulder him and catch him while he was going through every emotion,” she said. “He was feeling defeated, people were questioning his character, questioning who he is as a human and as a man, questioning his common sense, and just following this futile narrative that has no weight. But Chris, for me, has been always been a rock; like a mountain. And so I learned from watching him just how important it was to give him that steady support and to show him, ‘I got you.’”

She added—“It’s just once again shown me and Chris how strong we are together. As I elevate, he elevates as well. And as we elevate as a couple and individually, people are going to try and find a way to break us. But we’re not going anywhere.”

Candiace took aim at Gizelle during the interview, accusing her co-star of not keeping it real on the show.

She said—“I’ve seen Gizelle … get away with not authentically sharing most of her life for seven seasons. And that’s the unfortunate thing for everybody. You have created this entire platform and really spit on the work that women have done to create a Me Too movement for ratings because you have no real business to share. And at the point where you have run out of real, authentic stuff to share, perhaps it’s time to go.”

The Real Housewives of Potomac airs Sundays at 8 pm ET on Bravo.
