Candiace Dillard Says She Wasn’t Thrilled To Be With Porsha Williams On “RHUGT”

She was disappointed to learn that the "RHOA" alum would join her on the show.

When Bravo and Peacock announced the official Season 3 cast of the “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip,” the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Porsha Williams was greeted with excitement by fans. However, it’s not the same energy she got from her fellow housewife.

Because of an argument that occurred between them online in the year 2020, the “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Candiace Dillard revealed that she was not looking forward to seeing Porsha Williams.

Although Porsha and her fans might be eagerly anticipating her return to the “Real Housewives” franchise, it’s possible that not everyone on the trip will be thrilled to see her. Before they agreed to participate in the reality television show about their trip to Thailand, she and another cast member of “RHUGT,” Candiace Dillard-Bassett, exchanged a great deal of information about one another.

After nine seasons on the show, Porsha left “RHOA” in September 2021. However, she declared on Instagram that she’s “baccck” for “RHUGT.” PEOPLE reports that Porsha has been chosen to take the position of former “RHONY” cast member Tinsley Mortimer, who is said to have quit “RHUGT” due to “personal issues.”

She says to Porsha, “Y’all became friends, and two minutes later, you and her husband were dating.” Candiace added, “You stole somebody’s man.” Candiace also criticizes Porsha for backing Monique, “You brought a statement from that raggedy *** ***!”

Gizelle then criticizes Candiace for ostensibly failing to acknowledge her assistance during the difficult time. “Cause you’re acting like I didn’t ride for you, and I did!” Porsha and Candiace’s animosity began after Season 5 of the “Real Housewives of Potomac.”

Fans of the “Real Housewives of Orange County” may recall that Candiace and Monique Samuels fought during a trip to a winery. After four seasons, Bravo fired Monique from the show due to the altercation. Eventually, Candiace sued Monique for dragging her by the hair during the altercation.

“I don’t know, Porsha,” Candiace told Page Six in December 2020. “I’ve never met her; I know her through the television like everyone else, and I never had an issue prior to being sent a clip of her on Chat Room with my castmate Gizelle, lying and spreading false information — damning, defaming information — about me and alleging I was trying to sue Monique to secure a down payment on my home.”

“Yes, I responded in an interview because … it’s one thing to talk general smack about me in defense of your friend, but when you flat-out lie, yes, I’m going to address it,” she continued. “She should be careful about the lies that she tells. It’s a very dangerous move.”

Fans will not know if Candiace and Porsha are truly on good terms until Season 3 of “RHUGT” returns. “Porsha and Candiace are expected to clash as Porsha took Monique Samuels’ side in the women’s explosive feud on The Real Housewives of Potomac,” an insider told Page Six. “There’s going to be a lot of drama to unpack there.”

“Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” will return to Peacock on March 23.
