Robyn Dixon is sharing her thoughts about the fight that went down between her Real Housewives of Potomac co-stars Candiace Dillard Bassett and Monique Samuels.
"When I watched it, my stomach just turned," Robyn Dixon told Entertainment Tonight. "I was so mortified."
Robyn revealed the footage actually seemed less intense than what she remembered. "Watching it, to be honest, it was … not as bad as it was in the moment," she shared.
While Robyn still stands by her original statement that Monique is to blame for the fight, she does admit that she can see why fans of the series can see why Candiace is to blame.
"When you see stuff like that, it makes it harder for people to feel sorry for Candiace in that moment, because it's almost like she was waiting for Monique to lose her cool," Robyn laments. "Monique lost her cool and Candiace took the opportunity to really, like, just make it worse."
"She probably was baiting her," Robyn said. "She probably was trying to get her to come out of her person and to lose control and, in that moment, Candiace 'won' by making Monique lose control. I don't -- it's, it's unfortunate on both sides, it really is. It's so unfortunate."
Robyn says she's still trying to "understand how it got to that point," because at the time, as she had no idea how deep the problems were between Candiace and Monique.
"There's been moments when we've all been taken to a level where you don't think you’ll ever be," she said. "I always have in the back of my mind, I'm on camera here. ... As a 40-year-old woman with children ... it's just not worth it to me. And, yes, Candiace is annoying, but nothing she said in that moment … warranted someone to get very upset. And, looking back at it, if this initial contact wasn't made with the hair, the physical fight never would’ve happened. Never."
Robyn admits she is confused by why Monique and Candiace didn't attempt to hash out their issues more civilly and separately from their co-stars.
"Really, if there were things that bothered her so much, I don’t understand why they didn’t have an honest, heart-to-heart conversation," Robyn told Entertainment Tonight. "If there's a lesson to be learned for anyone, communication always helps prevent stuff like this from happening."
