Dr. Wendy Osefo is sharing her thoughts on the upcoming fight between her Real Housewives of Potomac co-stars Candiace Dillard Bassett and Monique Samuels.
"I would say it was heartbreaking," Wendy told Entertainment Tonight. "It was really something that I wish had never happened. If I had a magic wand, I would make it go away."
"That's the watershed moment," she adds. "That is the watershed moment of Potomac. And I say that, even though I'm coming in the fifth season, I believe that's the moment and has been the moment that's changed the dynamic of all the relationships. And it's changed it to the extent that some people have said, there’s no turning back. I am hopeful that they will change their minds. I am hopeful that we can come back together as a group, but whatever happens from this point, that moment is going to be what defines it."
She conitnued, "I like both Candiace and Monique and when I saw it escalating, I said, I don’t know where this is gonna go. I have a feeling where this is gonna go, but as long as I'm around, I don’t want it to go there," she said. "Unfortunately, I'm only but one person and if they're gonna go at it, they're gonna make their decisions to go at it."
“But you know, I'm that girlfriend -- I'm that girlfriend that, if something happens, I'm gonna be right there to make sure I got your back, and I'm gonna be right there to protect both people," she adds. "I won't run away. Like some people did… or one person did."
OSefo then explained why no one should be on either side when it comes to the physical altercation between Dillard Bassett and Samuels, which will play out in future episodes.
"I am not Team Candiace nor Team Monique. I'm Team Right or Wrong," she proclaims, "and that's where people are getting messed up, because people are looking at the individuals, and people are failing to look at the actions."
"Anyone who tries to frame this as Team Candiace or Team Monique, they're playing their hand because it's not about that," she says. "It's right or wrong, simple."
While some of the cast members has chosen sides between Candiace vs. Monqie, Wendy said that the decision really lies with the audience to decide.
"It's all about gradations, right?" she told Entertainment Tonight. "This is what I will say: You have to understand, if I kick you and then you retaliate by throwing a grenade at me, you have to decide is it two rights, two wrongs, or was one person more wrong or one person more right? And that's what we're dealing with here."
"I have my own opinions on it, but for me I just think it's about at the end of the day -- whatever happens -- accepting what happened and then saying, 'I will be accountable for my own actions and what I did in this and I'm apologizing if you feel like an apology is needed,' and then moving forth."
