 Monique Samuels Claims "RHOP" Costars Tried To "Fire" Her After A Fight

Strategic plan. Monique Samuels claims that some of her colleagues on The Real Housewives of the Potomac tried to fire her from Bravo following her physical altercation with Candias Dillard.

“They met behind the scenes and had a little meeting, and I think it was a very strategic decision, something that they decided to make,” Samuels tells Us Weekly. “They took it as an opportunity, perhaps, to take me out of the show. They thought they had the strength to get fired. So it was very strategic. "

The 36-year-old host of the Not For Lazy Moms podcast said there are "so many levels" explaining why the fight is over, but believes 33-year-old Dillard "wants to play the victim right now." Literally went to media campaigns with this whole incident. She didn't call me by my first name. She said I was mentally unstable. She said I was unfit to be a mother and parent, ”the reality TV star tells Us. “This is a lot of it comes from someone who should have been a friend. It just seems to me that you've never been a friend. "

The two have not spoken since their 2019 fight, which resulted in Samuels being called out on a second-degree assault charge. Samuels filed a counterclaim against 33-year-old Dillard on charges of second-degree assault. In December 2019, both charges were dropped.

“She did enough harm to get fired,” Dillard told us in a statement. “I have never been involved in spreading rumors or conspiracies that her former friends came up with, and she knows it. That's why she never told me about it.

“All of this could have been avoided if she had kept her hands to herself, or at least admitted that she had lost control,” Dillard added. “Instead, she decided to tell everyone who wanted to listen that I provoked her by throwing the glass. We've all watched the footage. "
