Former friends turned foes: The fiery breakdown of Gizelle Bryant and Mia Thornton’s RHOP relationship

The Real Housewives of Potomac continues to deliver explosive drama, with Gizelle Bryant at the center of a heated feud with co-star Mia Thornton. The conflict, which took a deeply personal turn when Mia brought Gizelle’s daughters into their argument, has left the two housewives at irreparable odds.

Gizelle Calls Out Mia for Crossing the Line

During an appearance on The Breakfast Club podcast on December 12, Gizelle Bryant did not hold back while addressing her fallout with Mia. Reflecting on the recent controversy, she reiterated her disdain for Mia’s actions, describing them as “disgusting.”

“They didn’t sign up for this—children are just off-limits,” Gizelle said, condemning Mia for involving her daughters in their conflict. She emphasized that bringing kids into adult drama was a line that should never be crossed. “After this, there’s no return. She is dead to me,” Gizelle declared, making it clear that their friendship was beyond repair.

What Sparked the Feud?

The tension between Gizelle and Mia boiled over during the December 1 episode of RHOP. The drama began when Gizelle questioned Mia about an Instagram post where Mia’s boyfriend, Incognito, speculated about the paternity of one of her children. Instead of addressing the issue privately, Mia accused Gizelle of airing the matter in front of the group.

Things took a turn for the worse when Mia retaliated by dragging Gizelle’s daughters into the dispute, claiming, “Your girls were sneaking boys in the house in DR. You didn’t want me to bring it to the group.” This remark left fans and fellow cast members stunned and infuriated Gizelle.

From Friendship to Feud

Interestingly, Gizelle revealed on The Breakfast Club that she and Mia were once close friends, both on and off-screen. However, their relationship has since soured, particularly after Mia’s decision to bring personal family matters into the public eye.

“When you desperately want to think this is gonna elevate you, it just doesn’t,” Gizelle commented, hinting that Mia’s actions might stem from a desire for attention.

Has Mia Apologized?

When asked whether Mia had tried to make amends, Gizelle explained that there have been opportunities for an apology, but Mia has refused to take accountability. “I don’t tolerate disrespect toward my children,” Gizelle stated, emphasizing her unwavering stance on the matter.

A host on The Breakfast Club humorously advised Gizelle to “not talk to the dead,” referencing Gizelle’s assertion that Mia was “dead” to her. Gizelle laughed, agreeing with the sentiment.

Will They Ever Reconcile?

The feud has left fans wondering if the two RHOP stars will ever be able to mend their friendship. While Mia has remained silent on whether she regrets her comments, Gizelle’s unwavering position suggests that reconciliation may be out of the question.

As the drama continues to unfold, viewers can expect more fiery confrontations and emotional moments on The Real Housewives of Potomac. For now, it seems Gizelle Bryant and Mia Thornton are firmly on opposite sides, with no sign of resolution in sight.
