Dillard Bassett revealed that the takedown was discussed last year when she, Ashley Darby, Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, and Robyn Dixon went to have dinner after Andy Cohen's baby shower.
“There was a conversation about someone plotting to spread a rumor that Chase was not Chris [Samuels’] baby,” Candiace said during a live session with DJ Richie Skye. “That conversation happened — I was there for it. I never contributed to the conversation. I said that that would never fly, and it should be dropped.”
Monique and her husband Chris Samuels responded to Candiace's revelation in her own Instagram Live on August 11.
The Not For Lazy Mom founder shared how her former friend (who’s not featured on the show) was the one who went to Charrisse Jackson Jordan with the rumors about her alleged affair and pregnancy.
Monique then details how Charrisse apparently claimed her miscarriage was an abortion and asked for “receipts” from the producers. Monique also discussed how Charrisse was “trying to get back on the show” and reached out to Candiace to talk about the rumors, hoping to spread it further, according to a report by Reality Blurb.
Monique shares how the producers wanted to bring this information to the show for season 4, but she refused to discuss the topic to protect her family. She then revealed how Gizelle was the ring leader in trying to bring rumors to the forefront.
“One thing I’m not gonna do is I’m not going to talk about peoples’ kids and I’m not gonna spread lies and rumors,” Monique shared in her video. “One thing I will not do is tell lies on people. I will not sit back and try to destroy somebody’s family. I just don’t play that, and I don’t appreciate people running around here protesting, talking about ‘Black Lives Matter’ but they sit here and try and destroy a whole black family off of some some reality TV, entertainment BS because they have nothing else to talk about.”
