Fiery Showdown: Karen Exposes Mia’s Dark Past on RHOP!

On the latest episode of Real Housewives of Potomac, titled “Shady Waters”, tensions escalate as Mia and Keiarna continue their feud, and Karen doesn’t hesitate to expose Mia’s past. Here are the highlights:

Karen Gets Even with Mia

The episode begins with Stacey being shocked by the accusations from Jacqueline and Mia about Karen needing rehab. Stacey goes straight to Karen for clarity. Karen denies ever saying this and asserts that she would be open about it if she needed help. Surprisingly, she also reveals that Mia herself had struggled with opioid addiction, which was what initially drove her to open recovery clinics.

The rest of the group is taken aback by Karen’s revelation, but she stands her ground. The conflict between Karen, Mia, and Jacqueline only intensifies. In a one-on-one interview, Karen shares that Mia would betray anyone, even Jesus, to get ahead. She suspects Mia is stirring up drama to boost her presence on the show, but Karen is ready to respond. In a wry moment, Karen quips, “Payback is a *.”

The Trip Continues and New Stories Emerge

As the group heads to their next destination, Stacey is questioned about her relationship with TJ. She confirms to Gizelle that TJ is a devout Christian and wants them to wait until marriage. This news amuses Gizelle, Ashley, and the others, who chuckle at the revelation. In her interview, Wendy also notes that Stacey and TJ’s arrangement is unusual.

Keiarna and Mia Clash Again

The tension between Mia and Keiarna remains unresolved. Keiarna confronts Mia over Mia’s previous insinuations that she had dated a drug dealer, despite Mia herself having once worked as an exotic dancer. Mia retorts that dancing is legal, while Gizelle rolls her eyes at their endless back-and-forth.

Wendy’s Birthday Celebration

When it’s time to celebrate Wendy’s birthday, the group goes around the table, sharing kind words about her. Wendy becomes emotional, reflecting on her 40 years and sharing that this is the first time she’s celebrated her birthday with close friends. She never thought anyone besides her husband Eddie would want to celebrate with her, so she feels deeply grateful for their friendship.

Jassi Opens Up About Her Boyfriend, and the Ladies Have Thoughts

After much focus on Stacey and TJ’s celibacy, Stacey shifts the spotlight to Jassi and her boyfriend, Darius. Jassi opens up about her relationship with Darius, a Kansas City Chiefs player. She sees a future with him and notes that he has two sons—one who is three years old and another who recently turned one.

Jassi reveals that Darius already had children before they started dating and wasn’t aware of the pregnancies at the time. In her solo interview, Ashley voices her doubts, speculating that Darius may have cheated on Jassi.

Keiarna then shares a similar experience, recounting how she once dated a football player who had two women pregnant simultaneously. When Mia inquires further, as she too has experienced similar circumstances, Keiarna brushes her off and advises women to be cautious when dating successful men. Gizelle also comments in her interview, telling Jassi that it’s okay she decided to stay despite being cheated on.
