'RHOP' Fans Praise Candiace After Wendy and Mia Fight Divides Cast

The Real Housewives of Potomac fans have praised Candiace Dillard-Bassett and Wendy Osefo's friendship following the latest episode.

Last week's installment of the Bravo show saw Osefo fall out with co-star Mia Thornton during a girl's trip to Miami, which culminated in a drink and bag being thrown.

Then on Sunday evening (November 27), the aftermath of their argument was broadcast, with the tensions causing division among the RHOP cast.

RHOP stars Karen Huger, Robyn Dixon, Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby, alongside Osefo, Thornton and Dillard-Bassett.

Former cast member Monique Samuels left the show after season 5, when she and Dillard-Bassett were involved in an altercation. This was discussed again by the rest of the cast in the aftermath of Osefo and Thornton's own fight.

At the start of the episode, Osefo called out Dixon and Bryant, who appeared to have sided with Thornton, dubbing them hypocrites for having such a strong stance against Samuels when she got physical with Dillard-Bassett, but not having her back in the same way.

Osefo then checked herself into a hotel instead of returning to the villa the women were staying as she did not want to be in the same place as Thornton.

The next day Dillard-Bassett, who missed the start of the trip due to work commitments, arrived in Miami and got caught up with what had happened regarding Osefo and Thornton.

While discussing the situation with Huger and Darby, Dillard-Bassett burst into tears. She said the situation was "very triggering," as it brought up memories of her situation with Samuels.

"I hate that [Wendy's] being ostracized, I don't think it's right," she said. "Everyone is just carrying on, like no-one gives a f*** that she's not here."

Huger and Darby agreed with Dillard-Bassett, though Huger seemed keener to stay neutral in the situation. Darby and Dillard-Bassett were later asked to leave the villa and find somewhere else to stay by Thornton, who organized the Miami trip, for supporting Osefo.

In a later scene, Dillard-Bassett reunited with Osefo. The duo met up with rapper Trina at a recording studio, where the star was providing a verse for Dillard-Bassett's new single "Insecure."

The RHOP pair appeared to have a great time in the studio and were seen dancing and laughing together.

After the scenes aired, fans took to social media to express their fondness for Osefo and Dillard-Bassett's friendship, as well as Dillard-Bassett's willingness to speak out for her co-star.

One fan posted on Twitter: "Candiace is such a good friend to Wendy, and I'm glad she at least has her to fully support her and call out the flagrant disregard for Wendy in this situation #RHOP."

While another said: "This scene of wendy and candiace doing the slither is the highlight of the season! i adore their friendship #RHOP."

Speaking about the earlier scenes of Dillard-Bassett sticking up for Osefo another viewer posted: "Candiace protecting Wendy when she's not there I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT #RHOP."

"Wendy and Candiace just reminded us what this show is about. REAL F****** FRIENDSHIP #RHOP," added another.

Fans were left unimpressed last week when Dixon was seen filming Osefo during the altercation with Thornton, accusing the star of being "antagonistic" and telling her to "shush."

Speaking on the latest episode, Dixon admitted to taking sides in the argument, justifying her choice by saying that it is because she doesn't like Osefo.

She also said that Dillard-Bassett shouldn't be comparing the situation to her own fight with Samuels from two years ago.

The Real Housewives of Potomac continues Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
