Word on the street is that Monique Samuels is back.
The Real Housewives of Potomac alum makes a surprise return to the Bravo series in E! News’ exclusive first look at the season 10 trailer.
The reason for Monique’s comeback? A bombshell rumor about costar Stacey Rusch‘s love life involving Monique’s ex.
As Ashley Darby says in the Aug. 28 first look, “Stacey’s been trying to get with Chris Samuels.”
Cut to Monique—who left the show in 2020 after season five following a physical fight with fellow alum Candiace Dillard Bassett—making her grand entrance and announcing, “Yeah, my ex-husband, we not doing that.”
Monique then has a reunion with Wendy Osefo, who jokes, “Last time I saw you, you had a binder,” referencing her season five reunion receipts.
But that isn’t the only rumor Stacey will have to answer for this season. The teaser shows her reuniting with estranged husband Thiemo Rusch—with whom she shares 9-year-old daughter Arabella—following her season nine breakup from now ex-boyfriend TJ Jones.
