On Sunday’s new episode of #RHOP, viewers will see newbie Stacey Rusch meeting with Gizelle Bryant, Wendy Osefo, Jassi Rideaux, and Ashley Darby.
The ladies are getting to know Stacey and the former QVC host is opening up about her daughter and the impending end of her 16-year marriage.
“We sort of lost each other,” admits Stacey.
Gizelle, who divorced Jamal Bryant in 2009, then asks a question.
“So, do you want the divorce? Because it sounds like you’re sad about it. Like, when I was getting to the end of the road, I was happy.”
Stacey says she’ll “never be happy about a divorce” and Ashley thinks she knows exactly why. In a previous #RHOP moment, Stacey divulged that she was dating her best friend turned boo, TJ, a devout Christian who wants to wait till marriage to be intimate.
“She has a new friend!” blurts out Ashley to the group about Stacey’s new man. “She good!”
Stacey is none too pleased about the big reveal and she quickly makes that clear.
“Ashley, I have spent multiple days with you at my home talking about marriage, my children, and she came here over charcuterie and drinks and just spilled all my business,” says Stacey. “Ashley, I am so cautious because I’m talking about the mental health of my daughter. I’m not ashamed of my friend. I’m ashamed of the way that you brought it to this table.”
Ashley looks bewildered and Stacey says in a confessional that Ashley is “not the person she thought she was.”
Ashley however, thinks the new housewife is overreacting.
“I didn’t even know. TJ wasn’t being dispelled, the way it was conveyed to me; you just had a friend. She talks about [her friend] Vivian all the time. If TJ is just a friend like Vivian. Then what’s the big deal? Why can’t I just say his name?”
Messy, messy, messy!
