Monique Samuels Is Back On RHOP—And She's Bringing A Whole New Vibe
Source: Shannon Finney / Getty It's official: the Queen of clapbacks and binder receipts is making her return to The Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP). Amid swirling rumors, People magazine confirmed that Monique Samuels will appear in a supporting role in Season 10 of the hit Bravo show. Pause for reaction – because Monique's return could be huge. (With the Grand Dame Karen Huger in rehab and Mia Thornton's departure for a 'new beginning,' Monique's return makes sense.) RELATED: 'RHOP' Star Monique Samuels Essential Oils Line Keep Her 'Focused And Clear' Now if you're a true RHOP stan, then you already know Monique's exit in 2020 was one of the most dramatic in Housewives history. From the heated on-camera altercation with Candiace Dillard Bassett (now off the show) to her emotional departure over how it all impacted her family, Monique left the franchise with both a bang and a boundary. 'When you cross certain lines, there's no going back. And for me, my family is that line,' she said back then via Instagram. But she's back and said to be in a different space. 'Monique's in a totally different place now, and fans will see that,' a source told People . 'She's excited to show who she is now — not as a wife, not as just a mom, but as a woman starting over and taking on life on her own terms.' Monique has been pretty busy since her RHOP exit – and fans know her life has dramatically changed. She divorced her husband, NFL player Chris Samuels, after 11 years of marriage, launched her Mila Eve Essentials business, held down a spot on a popular DMV radio show, and even had a stint on Love & Marriage: DC . So yes, Monique will have a lot to dish on. Her divorce and exit alone is a strong storyline for at least two episodes. Further, Love & Marriage DC gained popularity quickly. ( While it aired, producers positioned Monique as the ringleader in the show.) Monique has always resonated with Black women because she moves with class, complexity, and a deep desire to protect our peace. And after surviving one of the messiest exits in Bravo history, it's refreshing to see her stepping back into the spotlight her way.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Brit Eady sues Bravo over explicit photo
Brit Eady is taking Bravo to court over the explicit photo incident that prompted Kenya Moore's exit from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Eady has filed a $20 million lawsuit against Bravo, NBC and the production companies Truly Original and Endemol Shine North America, accusing the defendants of defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false light, sexual harassment and hostile work environment. USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Bravo, NBCUniversal and Eady for comment. The lawsuit centers around an incident featured in an April episode of the reality show in which Moore revealed explicit photos, supposedly of Eady, on poster boards. The moment resulted in Moore being removed from the show, and the episode ended with a disclaimer that "based on Kenya's behavior, the decision was made to cease filming with her this season." 'Real Housewives of Atlanta': Reality show airs Kenya Moore's explicit photo incident that led to exit Eady says that the photos were not of her but that the episode falsely suggested they were. "The manner in which the episode was aired falsely yet unmistakably implied that the graphic sexual photograph presented by the cast member depicted (Eady)," the lawsuit said. "On information and belief, defendants knew that the photograph did not depict (Eady), or, at the least, were reckless or grossly negligent in failing to learn that the photograph did not depict (Eady). The lawsuit also alleged that the network refused to show Eady the photo before the episode aired. She accused the defendants of contributing to a "hostile work environment" and subjecting her to "unwelcome, offensive, and sexualized behavior and comments based on her gender by requiring her to continue working in an environment in which she had been subject to a gendered attack, creating an inferior condition or privilege of employment because of her gender." The suit calls for the episode to be removed from public platforms. Kenya Moore suspended indefinitely: She's off 'Real Housewives' amid 'revenge porn' allegations The same day that Eady's lawsuit was filed, Moore confirmed on X that she would not be taking part in a "Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion taping happening on June 5. "Please know I take full accountability for my actions and deeply apologize to all those affected including Brittney, the cast, crew, guests and viewers," she said. "I look forward to seeing you all back on Bravo soon." Contributing: Taijuan Moorman This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Brit Eady sues Bravo over 'RHOA' explicit photo incident
