There was an “all-out brawl” during filming for Season 8 of RHOP earlier tonight (July 13), with sources telling TV Deets EXCLUSIVELY that friends of the cast are the ones to blame.
According to our rock-solid insiders, Keiana Stewart and Deborah Williams were involved in a “shocking” physical confrontation at the launch party for Ashley Darby and Gizelle Bryant’s new activewear line with Candiace Dillard Bassett in the middle of the mayhem.
“Deborah and Candiace had been talking s–t about each other all night,” a source close to production on The Real Housewives of Potomac tells TV Deets EXCLUSIVELY. “Candiace was confronting Deborah about what she had been saying about Chris [Basset] and Keiana walked up and got herself involved.”
(As RHOP fans are well aware, Deborah appeared in a scene with Ashley during Season 7 where she accused Chris of flirting with and making a pass at her, which he has repeatedly denied.)
Keiana—who is joining RHOP Season 8 as a friend to Wendy Osefo—was the one to throw the first punch but it was Deborah who may end up with the last laugh, according to our sources. “Deborah ate Keiana up,” reveals a Potomac insider, explaining that Keiana’s getting involved only made things worse. “Deborah definitely won.”
According to our insiders, Deborah is not set to appear as an official cast member on the new season of the show and was only in attendance due to the event being for Ashley’s new business. The brawl wasn’t the only notable moment from the night, however, as another insider reveals Candiace also exchanged words with Mia Thornton.
If Ashley and Gizelle wanted to make a splash with their new activewear line, this is certainly one way to do it.
