Stacey Rusch Under Fire: Mia Thornton Declares ‘She’s Just Not That Interesting’

Mia Thornton isn’t holding back when it comes to the newest “Real Housewives of Potomac” cast member, Stacey Rusch. In the latest drama-packed episode, tensions rise after Stacey accuses Ashley Darby of overstepping boundaries. Stacey had shared personal details about her divorce and budding romance with Ashley in confidence, but she was blindsided when Ashley revealed everything to Gizelle Bryant and the rest of the cast.

Though Ashley didn’t initially understand why Stacey took offense, she eventually acknowledged that Stacey wanted to control her own narrative while getting to know the group. However, things don’t seem to be going smoothly for the RHOP newcomer. The ladies are already questioning Stacey’s place among them, with Mia Thornton openly expressing her disinterest.

Mia’s Blunt Take on Stacey

In a sneak peek of the upcoming episode, Karen Huger and Mia discuss Stacey’s involvement. Mia delivers a stinging remark:

“Stacey, Stacey, Stacey. She’s just not that interesting.”

Karen humorously asks, “Can you speak for the rest of the girls?”

Mia confirms, “Everybody said the same thing.”

In a confessional, Mia expands on her thoughts:
“This whole valley girl next door… it’s the whole persona girl that I can’t vibe with. That’s weird. I don’t relate.”

Brewing Tensions with Other Cast Members

The episode also teases another simmering conflict. Jassi Rideaux and Jacqueline Blake, two other cast members, seem to be at odds. Jacqueline is annoyed by Jassi’s attitude, particularly the way Jassi perceives her as Mia’s sidekick rather than her own person. This friction adds another layer of drama to the evolving group dynamics.

What Lies Ahead for Stacey?

With a shaky start and mixed impressions from her fellow Housewives, Stacey Rusch’s future on RHOP seems uncertain. As the season progresses, viewers will be watching closely to see if she can win over the cast—or if her time on the show will be short-lived.

Catch all the drama unfold in new episodes of The Real Housewives of Potomac airing Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo, with streaming available the next day on Peacock.
