AceShowbiz - On Sunday's March 17 episode of "The Real Housewives of Potomac", Mia Thornton accused her husband Gordon of emptying her bank account after she hired a divorce attorney. "He said I can't leave him," Mia said, calling the act "abusive."
Despite attending couples therapy to resolve their issues, Mia and Gordon remained at odds. Mia expressed her commitment to Gordon but felt he was combative, a trait she found unacceptable. The therapist questioned their intimacy, leading Mia to admit that she had accepted Gordon's lack of romance.
During a lunch gathering, Mia revealed that Nneka Ihim had been excluded from a fashion shoot featuring iconic women. Nneka and her husband were later seen at a fertility clinic for an IUI procedure.
Candiace Dillard Bassett confided in her therapist about her desire to have children, sparking an emotional conversation that ended with her confessing her longing for a baby.
Robyn Dixon explored opening a franchise location for her Glo30 spa to diversify her income after her husband lost his job. Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby launched their athleisure brand GNA, with Gizelle expressing gratitude to Ashley for her support amidst a family emergency involving her father's brain cancer diagnosis.
At a fashion show for GNA, the housewives showcased their iconic looks: Candiace as Diana Ross, Gizelle as Beyonce Knowles, Karen as Lena Horne, Ashley as Dorothy Dandridge, Mia as Pam Grier, Wendy as Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Robyn as Mariah Carey.
Karen criticized the clothing designs, calling them "booty call night club wear," while Mia acknowledged their cuteness. Gizelle thanked Ashley for her unwavering help and shared the news of her father's upcoming surgery.
After cameras stopped rolling, a confrontation ensued between Deborah Williams and Candiace, with Deborah accusing Candiace of disrespectful behavior toward her. As the episode ended, the producers teased a "To Be Continued" segment for the following week.
