RHOP's Charisse Jackson-Jordan and Nnkea Ihim Address Speculations About Candiace Dillard's Relationship

Charisse Jackson-Jordan and Nnkea Ihim have joined the conversation following rumors about their Real Housewives of Potomac co-star Candiace Dillard’s spouse, Chris Bassett, reportedly being involved in an extramarital affair.

Expressing her concern exclusively to We at BravoCon on November 4, Charisse, 58, conveyed her affection for Candiace but issued a warning, stating, "I have deep care for Candiace, but she should be cautious." Charisse specifically directed her words towards the individual who recently came forward with claims of being Chris' mistress, labeling her as a dishonest person.

Season 8 newbie Nneka also backed Candiace, 36, choosing to believe that the story is nothing more than a false narrative.

Nneka, Charisse, and Candiace Dillard, in association with Getty Images (3), had varying reactions to the shocking news. Nneka, expressing her surprise, stated, "I don't know what to think, but I highly doubt its authenticity." She speculated that Candiace would handle the situation with respect towards both herself and her husband.

Nneka stated that she is avoiding the situation until Candiace is willing to have a conversation. She emphasized that they are there to support Candiace and that is her perspective. In recent weeks, a woman made an accusation that she underwent an abortion at the behest of Chris, who is currently married to Candiace. Both Chris and Candiace have not addressed the woman's allegations publicly.

Last month, Gizelle Bryant revealed exclusively to Us that she isn't taken aback by the recent accusations aimed at Chris. In October, the 53-year-old expressed her disappointment, stating that she had attempted to warn Candiace about her husband's actions during the previous season. However, Candiace chose not to heed the advice, and Gizelle believes that she might have benefitted from doing so.

Gizelle acknowledged that she found the unnamed woman's story to be credible. However, she clarified that she considers the situation to be none of her concern and that she lacks any personal interest in it. Nonetheless, she expressed her regret for the circumstances.

In response to Gizelle's remarks, Candiace retaliated during an exclusive conversation with Us at BravoCon on Friday, November 3. Candiace sarcastically remarked to Us at the Las Vegas convention that Gizelle believes the story to be somewhat believable or that she supports her friend's disbelief in the allegations of Juan Dixon having had a sexual encounter with a woman at a hotel.

Candiace confidently declared, "No matter how hard a miserable, sad troll with a long neck may attempt to disrupt a happy marriage, their efforts will be in vain. That's the whole story." Gizelle and Candiace's ongoing feud dates back years, originating from Gizelle's previous claim that Chris made advances towards her after the RHOP season 6 reunion. Both Candiace and Chris have consistently denied these allegations.
